San Francisco The apartment broker Airbnb has shaken off the corona crisis and booked its most profitable and most profitable quarter to date. In the third quarter, sales increased by almost 70 percent to 2.2 billion dollars (1.9 billion euros) compared to the previous year, as the company announced on Thursday after the US market closed. This means that Airbnb even generated 36 percent more sales than in the same period in 2019 before the pandemic.
Net income was $ 834 million, 280 percent higher than a year ago. The quarterly figures clearly exceeded the forecasts of the analysts. The share initially reacted with moderate price increases in the aftermath of the trading day. Airbnb had dampened expectations three months ago and warned of new burdens and setbacks for the tourism industry due to new corona waves of the particularly contagious Delta variant.
