The San Francisco-based company's relative resilience in a historically bad year for the travel industry is a result of a flexible business model that allowed ABNB to meet customers in the places they wanted to go.

That tumble, in our view, has made this stock attractive, especially when travel demand is expected to expand gradually. Today’s earnings could provide further evidence to support that bullish view.</p><p><blockquote>“爱彼迎的直接流量优势和对付费营销的最小依赖使该公司免受[第三方]广告通胀的影响。”在通货膨胀的广告市场中，我们相信爱彼迎有一个投资者可以关注的新催化剂：直接流量创造单位经济优势的程度，”分析师表示，并补充说旅游市场正在稳步复苏，这应该会提振爱彼迎的预订量。<h3><b>底线</b></h3>爱彼迎股价在2020年12月初IPO后，自2月份创下近217美元的历史新高以来大幅走弱。我们认为，这种暴跌使该股具有吸引力，尤其是在旅行需求预计将逐渐扩大的情况下。今天的收益可以提供进一步的证据来支持这一看涨观点。</blockquote></p><p></p>","source":"lsy1594375853987","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Airbnb Q2 Earnings Preview: Increasing Travel Demand Makes Stock Attractive<blockquote>爱彼迎第二季度财报预览：旅行需求增加使股票具有吸引力</blockquote></title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 12.5px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nAirbnb Q2 Earnings Preview: Increasing Travel Demand Makes Stock Attractive<blockquote>爱彼迎第二季度财报预览：旅行需求增加使股票具有吸引力</blockquote>\n</h2>\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n<p class=\"head\">\n<strong class=\"h-name small\">investing.com</strong><span class=\"h-time small\">2021-08-12 14:40</span>\n</p>\n</h4>\n</header>\n<article>\n<p><ul> <li>Reports Q2 2021 earnings Thursday, Aug. 12, after the close</li> <li>Revenue Expectation: $1.26 B</li> <li>EPS Expectation: -$0.36</li> </ul> When <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ABNB\">Airbnb, Inc.</a> releases its latest quarterly report later today, investors will be most interested in whether the reopening of the U.S. economy is boosting domestic travel and helping this alternative lodging platform cut its pandemic-era losses.</p><p><blockquote><ul><li>2021年第二季度收益报告8月12日星期四收盘后</li><li>收入预期：$1.26 B</li><li>每股收益预期：-0.36美元</li></ul>什么时候<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ABNB\">爱彼迎公司。</a>今天晚些时候发布最新季度报告，投资者最感兴趣的是美国经济的重新开放是否会促进国内旅行并帮助这家另类住宿平台减少大流行时期的损失。</blockquote></p><p> The platform's second-quarter earnings report is also significant as bookings in the ongoing summer season could provide some insight into the level of pent-up travel demand ahead of the winter holiday period.</p><p><blockquote>该平台的第二季度收益报告也很重要，因为正在进行的夏季预订可以让我们深入了解寒假前被压抑的旅行需求水平。</blockquote></p><p> Early indications suggest that the San-Francisco-based Airbnb is in a good position to exceed analysts’ expectations.
