Airbnb, Inc. reported solid financial performance for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026, with revenue increasing 17% year-over-year to $3.61 billion (13% on a constant currency basis), driven by a 10% rise in Nights and Seats Booked to 148 million and higher Average Daily Rates (ADR).

Yelp reported modest financial performance for Q2 2026, with total net revenue increasing 1% year-over-year to $375.52 million, up from $370.39 million in Q2 2025. Net income attributable to common stockholders declined 28% to $31.65 million ($0.57 per diluted share) compared to $44.09 million ($0.67 per diluted share) in the prior-year period.

Conversely, core advertising revenue fell 3% to $342.50 million, pressured by a 10% contraction in the Restaurants, Retail & Other category.
