Again using a 1.5x PEG ratio, I could see ABNB trading at 11x sales in 2030. That represents 13% annual returns, which may be a satisfactory value proposition considering the lower risk profile of the business. I see the growth persisting due to the company taking market share in the hospitality business, as well as making inroads in the long term rental business and, eventually taking market share from the “normal” hotel business as well. The main risk to the thesis involves competition from the likes of Expedia (EXPE) and Booking (BKNG), and more importantly, Alphabet (GOOGL). ABNB has historically spent far less than EXPE and BKNG on sales & marketing, perhaps due to its brand loyalty. Investors should keep a close watch on that metric because the high profit margins are critical in justifying the current valuation. Largely due to the prospects of elevated revenues and earnings over the next several years, I rate the stock a buy as the valuation offers attractive upside over the long term.</p></body></html>","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: 67% Growth, 49% Margins, 8% Of Market Cap Is Cash</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: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\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: 67% Growth, 49% Margins, 8% Of Market Cap Is Cash\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-02-06 11:10 GMT+8 <a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4484542-airbnb-67-percent-growth-49-percent-margins-8-percent-of-market-cap-is-cash><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryAt one point Airbnb was a victim of the pandemic.

Shares are down 33% for the year to date—and nearly 80% below their October 2020 peak.</p><p>Zoom (ticker: ZM) at one point posted a string of three straight quarters with top-line growth north of 355%, as adoption of the company’s videoconferencing platform soared. But over the last few quarters Zoom’s business has been returning to Earth: From 367% growth in the January 2021 quarter, to 191% in the April quarter, 54% in the July quarter, and 35% in the October quarter. And the slowdown is going to continue from here.</p><p>Monday after the close, Zoom will report results for the January 2022 quarter. Zoom’s guidance calls for revenue of $1.051 billion to $1.053 billion. At the midpoint of the range, that would be 19% growth from a year ago. Zoom sees non-GAAP profits of $1.06 to $1.07 a share. Wall Street analysts surveyed by FactSet project revenue of $1.054 billion and profits of $1.07 a share—and the company always exceeds its own guidance.</p><p>For the April quarter, Street consensus calls for revenue of $1.095 billion, up 14.5% from a year ago, with profits of $1.03 a share, down from $1.32 a share a year earlier. For all of fiscal 2023, the Street projects revenue of $4.71 billion, up 15.5%, with profits of $4.36 a share, down from an estimated $4.85 for fiscal 2022.</p><p>Citi analyst Tyler Radke, who has a Neutral rating on Zoom stock, writes in a research note previewing the quarter that he remains cautious on the stock despite the 45% slide in the stock since the company’s last earnings report.</p><p>“We believe that competitive inroads are increasingly exacerbating headwinds persisting from pull-forward activity and tough comps,” he writes.

Shares are down 33% for the year to date—and nearly 80% below their October 2020 peak.Zoom (ticker: ZM) at one point posted a string of three straight quarters with top-line growth north of 355%, as adoption of the company’s videoconferencing platform soared. But over the last few quarters Zoom’s business has been returning to Earth: From 367% growth in the January 2021 quarter, to 191% in the April quarter, 54% in the July quarter, and 35% in the October quarter. And the slowdown is going to continue from here.Monday after the close, Zoom will report results for the January 2022 quarter. Zoom’s guidance calls for revenue of $1.051 billion to $1.053 billion. At the midpoint of the range, that would be 19% growth from a year ago. Zoom sees non-GAAP profits of $1.06 to $1.07 a share. Wall Street analysts surveyed by FactSet project revenue of $1.054 billion and profits of $1.07 a share—and the company always exceeds its own guidance.For the April quarter, Street consensus calls for revenue of $1.095 billion, up 14.5% from a year ago, with profits of $1.03 a share, down from $1.32 a share a year earlier. For all of fiscal 2023, the Street projects revenue of $4.71 billion, up 15.5%, with profits of $4.36 a share, down from an estimated $4.85 for fiscal 2022.Citi analyst Tyler Radke, who has a Neutral rating on Zoom stock, writes in a research note previewing the quarter that he remains cautious on the stock despite the 45% slide in the stock since the company’s last earnings report.“We believe that competitive inroads are increasingly exacerbating headwinds persisting from pull-forward activity and tough comps,” he writes. In particular, Radke sees signs of rising competitive pressures from the Microsoft (MSFT) Teams communications suite, which he says is perceived to offer better security features than Zoom.“In our conversations with partners, we heard about increasing Teams deployment, including from customers that were previously with Zoom,” Radke writes. “This trend has been accelerating with return to office and comfort level by IT departments, which is rationalizing collaboration systems and showing preference for Microsoft’s security features.”Radke thinks Street estimates for the January 2023 fiscal year are simply too high—he’s projecting revenue of $4.6 billion, up 14%, with profits of $4.18 a share, well below consensus.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"ZM":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2735,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
