While Airbnb (ABNB) has been garnering investors' attention as it secured a position in the S&P 500, it has seen significant insider selling over the past year. So, is this stock worth buying? Keep reading... Airbnb, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/ABNB/">ABNB</a>) is demonstrating a steady performance this year, buoyed by sustained high demand within the tourism sector. In addition to that, its recent inclusion in the S&amp;P 500 index has only increased its allure among investors.
However, there are growing apprehensions due to an increasing trend of insider selling during the past year. On September 12, 2023, Brian Chesky, CEO and Chairman, sold <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/insider-sell-airbnb-inc-ceo-051127242.html">150,000 company shares</a>. This is part of a series of such transactions over the course of the past year, where Chesky sold a total of 270,000 shares.
Furthermore, on September 5, Nathan Blecharczyk, the company's Chief Strategy Officer, also disposed of <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/insider-sell-airbnb-incs-chief-210110287.html">20,000 shares</a>, leading to a total of 60,000 shares over the past year without executing any purchases.
Adding to these concerns is <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/sep/06/airbnb-new-rental-regulation-nyc-housing">New York City's crackdown on Airbnb and short-term rentals went into effect</a> recently, which could lead to ABNB potentially losing millions of dollars in revenue.
Given these uncertainties, it seems prudent to hold out for a more favorable investment opportunity in the stock. Below are some of its key metrics that support my bearish stance.
Tracing ABNB's Financial Performance: Unpacking Data From Net Income to Analyst Price Target
The trend in the trailing-12-month net income of ABNB, starting from December 31, 2020, to June 30, 2023, sees a remarkable turnaround. Here are some key points:
<ul>
<li>On December 31, 2020, ABNB recorded a substantial loss of -$4.58 billion.</li>
<li>By the end of the third quarter in 2021, the net loss had slightly decreased to -$4.29 billion.</li>
<li>The company then noted an immense improvement by year-end 2021, minimizing losses to just -$352.03 million.</li>
<li>Positive growth emerged in the first quarter of 2022, with the company reporting a net income rise to $801.39 million, engendering a distinct shift from a loss in the previous years and quarters.</li>
<li>This upswing continued through 2022, culminating with a net income of $1.89 billion by the end of the year.</li>
<li>The rise in net income carried over to 2023, with the recorded numbers showcasing a steady increase: $2.03 billion at the end of the first quarter and $2.3 billion by the end of the second quarter.</li>
</ul>
The annual growth rate, measured by comparing the last value ($2.3 billion on June 30, 2023) against the first value (-$4.58 billion on December 31, 2020), reveals a significant positive growth trend for ABNB. This mirrors ABNB's successful transition from a period of considerable loss into a trajectory of steady income gain.

 The ROA of ABNB displays a gradual improvement over the monitored period.
<ul>
<li>On September 30, 2021, the ROA was negative at -0.33.</li>
<li>A substantial increase in ROA was noted by the end of the year on December 31, 2021, where it reached -0.026.</li>
<li>In the first quarter of 2022, on March 31, the trend turned positive with an ROA of 0.054.</li>
<li>This positive trend continued through 2022, with the ROA reaching 0.079 on June 30 and 0.099 on September 30.</li>
<li>The ROA for ABNB on December 31, 2022, was 0.111.</li>
<li>Progressing into 2023, ABNB experienced a slight uptick to 0.114 on March 31 before hitting 0.125 on June 30.</li>
</ul>
Overall, the data signifies a consistent upward trend in the ROA of ABNB from September 30, 2021, to June 30, 2023. It shows the firm's improved ability to generate profits from its assets.
<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/sjn-charts/visualized-metrics/1695215682.15231.png" />
Analyzing the <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/currentratio.asp">Current Ratio</a> of ABNB reveals several fluctuations and a general downward trend from September 2020 through June 2023. Significant Points:
<ul>
<li>Initially, the Current Ratio was recorded at 1.65 in September 2020, reaching a peak of 1.95 by December 2021.</li>
<li>However, from December 2021, it decreased consistently, arriving at the last recorded value of 1.47 in June 2023.</li>
<li>In-between, the ratio underwent several fluctuations. Noticeably sharp falls followed marginal increases, such as between March 2023 (1.85) and June 2023 (1.47)</li>
</ul>
Calculating the growth rate from the first to the last value reveals a decrease of 0.17 or a negative growth of approximately 11%. This data emphasizes the typical volatility seen in financial ratios and highlights the downward trend in ABNB's current ratio over the period from 2020 to 2023.

Here is an analysis of the data from the Analyst Price Target for ABNB:
<ul>

<li>A marked decrease began in May 2022, where the price target dipped below $190 before further plummeting to $140 by mid-August 2022.</li>
<li>ABNB's Analyst Price Target seemed to stabilize again at $125 from late November 2022 until early February 2023.</li>
<li>Beginning in February 2023, the price target again encountered a rise to hover around the range of $143 to $145. This increase was punctuated by a drop to $130 in mid-May 2023.</li>
<li>The most recent data from September 2023 indicates that the Analyst Price Target for ABNB stood at $145.</li>
</ul>

Airbnb (ABNB): What Is the Investment Potential of This Travel Stock?

Despite robust strategic portfolio expansions, leading hotel company Marriott International (MAR) stock is currently on a downtrend. Let us analyze whether smart money is following the company. Read more... Renowned hotel chain company Marriott International, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/MAR/">MAR</a>) has <a href="https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/stocks/mar/institutional-holdings">institutional ownership of approximately 60.4%</a>, with 1,292 institutional holders collectively holding 179,999,136 shares of the company. Robust smart money interest in a stock signifies that prominent and well-established institutional investors have confidence in the stock's potential.
While MAR boasts robust smart money, I think it might be wise to wait for a better entry point in the stock for the reasons discussed throughout the entire article.
The global hotel and other travel accommodation market grew from $747.32 billion in 2022 to $846.64 billion in 2023 at a <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/en/news-release/2023/06/09/2685570/28124/en/Global-Hotel-and-Other-Travel-Accommodation-Market-Report-2023-Increasing-use-of-Social-Media-and-Access-to-Mass-Media-Drives-Growth.html#:~:tex">CAGR of 13.3%</a>.
The growing use of social media and mass media is significantly benefiting the tourism and hotel industries. Tourists sharing their travel experiences on social platforms are raising awareness about various destinations and recreational offerings worldwide.
Moreover, the hotel industry is adopting transformative technologies to enhance customer experiences and achieve cost savings. As a result, the hotel and other travel accommodation market is expected to grow to $1.05 trillion in 2027 at a <a href="https://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/5781103/hotel-other-travel-accommodation-global-market">CAGR of 5.5</a>%.
Looking ahead, MAR anticipates stable global economic conditions throughout the year, with continued resilience in travel demand. However, there is an expectation of slightly higher RevPAR growth internationally compared to the U.S. &amp; Canada, where RevPAR growth is settling into more typical seasonal patterns.
Shares of MAR have gained 31.1% year-to-date but fell 2.3% over the past month to close its last trading session at $195.17. In addition, shares of MAR are trading under the 50-day moving average of $200.80, indicating a downtrend. Also, it has a 60-month beta of 1.59.
Here are some factors that could influence MAR's performance in the upcoming months:
Partnership with MGM Resorts 
In July 2023, MAR announced that it had entered a 20-year licensing agreement with MGM Resorts International (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/MGM/">MGM</a>), allowing loyalty members to earn and redeem points for stays at MGM properties. They launched the "MGM Collection with Mariott Bonvoy," enabling members to use points at 17 MGM resorts across the United States and Canada.
This partnership aims to replicate the success of their 2021 franchise agreement for the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Las Vegas. Mar's net unit growth is expected to increase by 2.4% from this deal, exceeding 5% for the first time since 2015. MAR will earn fees on total room revenue from MGM Resorts, contributing to anticipated long-term sustainable growth.
Other Positive Developments
On August 24, MAR entered into a partnership with HDFC Bank in India to introduce the country's inaugural co-branded hotel credit card. The credit card aims to leverage the aspirations of the emerging middle class within the nation.
Moreover, on August 14, MAR's Delta Hotels announced the expansion of its global presence with its first hotel in New York City, the Delta Hotels by Marriott New York Times Square. This new addition to the Marriott Bonvoy portfolio offers stunning views of the city lights and embodies the brand's 'Simple Made Perfect' philosophy.
Located in the heart of Manhattan at 340 West 40th Street in Times Square, the hotel prioritizes essential details to provide a seamless and comfortable stay, with 310 guest rooms designed with craftsmanship and a modern aesthetic.
Robust Performance
In terms of performance, the second quarter saw global <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/r/revpar.asp">RevPAR</a> increase by 13.5% (12.7% in actual dollars) compared to the same quarter in 2022. RevPAR grew by 6.0% (5.7% in actual dollars) in the U.S. and Canada, while international markets experienced a 39.1% increase (36.0% in actual dollars).
Mixed Financials
In the fiscal second quarter that ended June 30, 2023, MAR's total revenues increased 13.8% year-over-year to $6.10 billion. The company's adjusted operating income increased 22% year-over-year to $1.04 billion. Its adjusted net income rose 16% over the prior-year quarter to $690 million. In addition, its adjusted EPS came in at $2.26, representing a 26% increase over the prior-year quarter.
However, in the same quarter, MAR's total expenses rose 13.5% from the year-ago quarter to $4.98 billion.
Elevated Valuation
MAR's forward non-GAAP P/E of 22.66x is 61.4% higher than the 14.04 industry average. Its forward EV/Sales and P/S multiples of 2.93 and 2.44 are 159.8% and 191.8% higher than the industry averages of 1.13 and 0.84.
In addition, MAR's forward EV/EBIT and EV/EBITDA multiples of 15.09 and 17.60 are 63.5% and 35.1% higher than the 9.23 and 13.03 industry averages.
Mixed Profitability
MAR's trailing-12-month EBIT and EBITDA margins of 67.7% and 72.35% are 812.1% and 557.2% higher than the 7.42% and 11.01 industry averages.
However, MAR's trailing-12-month asset turnover ratio of 0.24x is 76.1% lower than the industry average of 1x. Its trailing-12-month cash per share of $1.88 is 21.8% lower than the $2.40 industry average.
POWR Ratings Show Mixed Prospects
MAR has an overall C rating, equating to a Neutral in our proprietary <a href="https://stocknews.com/powr-ratings/">POWR Ratings</a> system. The POWR Ratings are calculated considering 118 distinct factors, with each factor weighted to an optimal degree.
Our proprietary rating system also evaluates each stock based on eight distinct categories. MAR has a C grade for Stability, consistent with its 24-month beta of 1.03.
Also, its C grade in Quality aligns with its mixed profit margins.
Among the 21 stocks in the A-rated <a href="https://stocknews.com/category/travel-hotels-resorts/">Travel – Hotels/Resorts</a> industry, MAR is ranked #15. <a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/MAR/">Click here</a> to access MAR's ratings for Growth, Value, Momentum, Sentiment, and Quality.
Bottom Line
MAR has an institutional investment of more than 60%, which indicates the smart money's solid interest in the stock.
Moreover, as a result of its robust portfolio and strategic partnerships, the company raised its full-year rooms growth and earnings guidance, expecting to return $4.10 billion to $4.50 billion to shareholders in 2023.
However, considering the company's stretchy valuation, mixed profitability, and high beta, I think investors could wait for a better entry point in the stock.

Is Smart Money Following Marriott International (MAR)?

Airbnb (ABNB) is currently facing new regulations implemented for short-term rentals, which could impact the company's growth. However, Street analysts expect stable growth in the last quarter. With the company set to release its third-quarter financial results on November 1, 2023, is the stock a buy today? Read on... Airbnb, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/ABNB/">ABNB</a>) has been making headlines as new restrictions are being imposed. On September 5, New York City enforced what Airbnb terms a "de facto ban" on its short-term rental platform, triggering a sharp reduction in listings within the city, one of its chief markets. Furthermore, Canada is contemplating introducing new regulations for short-term rentals, which would affect Airbnb considerably.
Many analysts predict an imminent <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/airbnb-lead-real-estate-market-180212436.html">crash in real estate prices</a>, suggesting a substantial shift looming in the real estate sector. Author of "Rich Dad Poor Dad," Robert Kiyosaki, believes that Airbnb will be instrumental in precipitating this market crash.
Adding to this negative sentiment, David Bernstein, Chief Accounting Officer of ABNB, sold <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/insider-sell-airbnb-incs-chief-131142570.html">3,402 shares</a> of the firm on October 17, 2023. This disposal of stocks is not an isolated incident but part of a larger trend; over the previous year, Bernstein has sold 57,014 shares without any purchases. Over the past year, there have been 92 insider sales without a single case of insider buying.
Such a move, especially preceding the forthcoming earnings report, could indicate diminishing confidence in the company's financial performance.
Additionally, analysts project ABNB's revenue and EPS growth to be 16.8% and 17.4% year-over-year in the soon-to-be-reported quarter, ended September 2023.
Nonetheless, predictions for <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/airbnb-sell-calls-record-amid-100233226.html">travel expenditure to continue dipping following the post-COVID spike</a> could imply that revenue growth might slow down. Consequently, now may not be the opportune moment to invest in Airbnb stock as we scrutinize the critical aspects of ABNB's performance.

<li>The company began with a Current Ratio of 1.735 on December 31, 2020, and ended at a ratio of 1.472 on June 30, 2023.</li>
<li>The overall trend, as signified by the decrease in the Current Ratio from the initial to final values, points to a decrement of about 15%.</li>
<li>ABNB witnessed noticeable fluctuations throughout the given period. There's a consistent trend where the Current Ratio decreases each quarter's end, followed by an increase in the last quarter before falling again.</li>
<li>The largest decline was from March 31, 2021, to June 30, 2021 where the value decreased from 1.662 to 1.484.</li>

</ul>

Airbnb (ABNB) Earnings Spotlight: Is the Travel Stock a Buy or Sell?

Airbnb (ABNB) posted robust third-quarter financials, beating analyst expectations. Should investors buy the stock now? Let's look at its financial metrics to know more… Popular homestay provider Airbnb, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/ABNB">ABNB</a>) reported robust third-quarter financials on the backs of a record summer travel season and international expansion. For the fiscal third quarter (ended September 30), ABNB's revenue increased 17.8% year-over-year to $3.40 billion, compared with the <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/airbnb-forecasts-fourth-quarter-revenue-below-estimates-demand-slowdown-fears-2023-11-01/">average analyst estimate of $3.37 billion</a>.
However, the company is seeing heightened volatility in the fourth quarter as uncertain economic conditions and geopolitical issues pressure the company's operations. ABNB projects fourth-quarter revenue between $2.13 billion and $2.17 billion, lower than average analysts' estimate of $2.18 billion.
Given this uncertain backdrop, let's look at the trends of ABNB's key financial metrics to understand why it could be prudent to watch and wait for a better entry point in the stock.
ABNB's Financial Performance Trend Analysis
The trailing-12-month revenue for ABNB shows a clear upward trend from December 2020 to September 2023. The data reveals several key trends and fluctuations:
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Starting at a revenue of $3.38 billion in December 2020, there is significant growth over the given period.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">The revenue increased consistently through 2021, ending September 2021 at $5.32 billion and demonstrating a noticeable growth pattern.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">This trend of growth continued into 2022, with periodic increases in revenue reported each quarter: $6.61 billion in March, $7.38 billion in June, $8.03 billion in September, ending the year at $8.4 billion in December.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Through 2023, this positive growth persists yet again, reaching a high of $9.6 billion in September 2023.</li>
</ul>
Overall, the total growth from December 2020 ($3.38 billion) to September 2023 ($9.6 billion) represents a significant increase in revenue. This results in a growth rate of approximately 184%, illustrating a robust performance by ABNB.
During this period, there are no drastic dips suggestive of instability, with the revenue stream increasing relatively progressively. The most recent data point, as of September 2023, shows a revenue figure of $9.6 billion, the highest in the series, encouraging for ABNB's financial trajectory.

The <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/r/returnoninvestmentcapital.asp">ROIC</a> data series for ABNB showcases an upward trajectory with occasional fluctuations.
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">On September 30, 2021, the ROIC was recorded at -1.69.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">By December 31, 2021, the ROIC had improved to 0.051.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">In the first quarter of 2022, the value further increased to 0.36 on March 31.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Following this trend, it rose to 0.56 by June 30, 2022, and reached 0.78 on September 30, 2022.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">The upward trend continued till December 31, 2022, with a ROIC of 0.98 recorded.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Starting from 2023, the figure experienced an amplified surge, reaching 1.16 on March 31 and reaching its maximum of 1.38 on June 30.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">However, the strong growth met resistance as a fall on September 30, 2023, brought the ROIC down to 1.16.</li>
</ul>
Focusing on the most recent figures, it is evident that the ROIC peaked in June 2023 before falling sharply by September 2023. Nevertheless, since the initial measurement in September 2021, ABNB has experienced remarkable growth in ROIC, as reflected in the growth rate calculation from -1.69 to 1.16. This represents a substantial turnaround of more than 168.6% over the period.

Here's a summary of the trend and fluctuations in the current ratio of ABNB:
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Starting from December 2020, ABNB reported a current ratio of 1.73.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Throughout the next year, there were somewhat moderate fluctuations in the current ratio, with a notable trough by June 2021 at 1.48, followed by a significant peak at the end of the same year to 1.95.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Similarly, the year 2022 saw fluctuations in ABNB's current ratio, decreasing to 1.58 by June but peaking back by the year-end to 1.86.</li>

</ul>

From the first value in December 2020 (1.73) to the most recent value in September 2023 (1.78), we can calculate a rough growth rate of about -7%. The latest available data point from September 2023 shows a current ratio of 1.78, indicating a substantial decrease compared to the value of 1.95 at the end of the 2021 period, which was the highest in this series.

<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Since February 3, 2023, the APT has started to increase, reaching a peak of $143.5 on March 3, 2023, and maintaining that level until May 12, 2023. After that, there were noticeable fluctuations, with the APT dropping to $130 on May 19, 2023.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">In the recent data, from July 21, 2023, the APT rose again to reach $145 by August 25, 2023, and maintained this price until October 27, 2023.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">There was a noticeable drop to $135.4 on November 10, 2023, which was the APT's last recorded value.</li>
</ul>
In terms of growth rate, measuring from the first value on November 12, 2021, to the last recorded value on November 10, 2023, the APT has undergone a decrease of approximately 30%. This implies that despite intermittent rises, the overall APT trajectory for ABNB has been on a gradual decline over the course of the specified period of around two years.
