Is Airbnb Behind The Housing Crisis? Data Says No, But City Restrictions Can Still Affect Its Bottom Line
Portfolio Pulse from Natan Ponieman
Airbnb (NASDAQ:ABNB) is facing city restrictions in various jurisdictions, including New York, New Orleans, and Dallas, which could impact its bottom line. These restrictions are driven by the belief that short-term rentals contribute to the housing crisis. Despite this, Airbnb's stock has climbed over 60% in 2023, and Q2 earnings beat analyst expectations with an 18% revenue increase. However, shares dropped 2.1% in the five trading days post-results. The restrictions could also affect competitor Booking Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:BKNG). ProShares Short Real Estate (NYSE:REK) was up 0.49% to $20.19 on Thursday.
