Airbnb to Spend More on AI After Earnings Beat
Airbnb reported a strong quarter, raised its full-year outlook and saw its stock jump about 15%. CEO Brian Chesky said the company will spend "a lot more" on AI tokens this year because inference costs are small relative to the revenue and productivity gains. Airbnb says AI has reduced product-development time by roughly 60%, increased feature shipping by about 80% year-over-year, and helped reduce customer-service needs (45% of guests who interact with its AI agent do not require a human). The company has hired Ahmad Al-Dahle as CTO and is using more than a dozen AI models internally while focusing on selective model use for cost-effectiveness.

Airbnb Joins Josh Brown’s Best Stocks List
Josh Brown and Sean Russo spotlight Airbnb after a strong Q2 that accelerated revenue growth and beat expectations. Airbnb reported Q2 revenue of $3.61 billion (up 17%), gross booking value of $27.2 billion (up 16%), adjusted EBITDA of $1.3 billion (35% margin) and free cash flow of $1.25 billion for the quarter. Management raised full-year guidance for the second time and the company repurchased $1.1 billion of stock under a $6 billion authorization. CEO Brian Chesky highlighted AI initiatives that sped product development and an AI assistant handling support in over 50 languages, which materially reduced support costs per booking. The column frames Airbnb’s results and event partnerships (World Cup, Olympics, etc.) as catalysts for renewed investor interest and a breakout in the stock.
