ABNB operates an online marketplace for travelers to book spaces to stay, covering a wide range of options like apartments, houses, hotels, and more. The company’s second-quarter fiscal 2026 report showed $3.6 billion in revenue (a 17% year-over-year rise), gross booking value of $27.2 billion (a 16% jump), net income of $816 million (a 23% margin), and third-quarter guidance of up to $4.77 billion in revenue (representing 17% growth).

It’s no wonder ABNB shares are up 36% so far this year – and they could rise more. MoneyFlows data shows how Big Money investors are again betting heavily on the stock.
