Published on 08/31/2026 at 12:26 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Airbnb stock (NASDAQ: ABNB) closed at $189.43 on August 28, 2026, after a 2.73% daily gain and a 39.57% rise since the start of the year.
August gains set the tone
The move came after the company reported second-quarter EPS of $1.37 on August 6, 2026, topping the Street's $1.25 estimate by $0.11. Revenue in the same quarter rose 16.3% year over year, while the stock added 25% for August.
That mix matters because the share price is now close to the 52-week high of $193.45 and far above the 52-week low of $110.81, while market capitalization stood at $113.43 billion.
Consensus stays constructive
Analysts on the same market snapshot showed a consensus price target of $174.03, which was 8.1% below the August 28 close. The average rating score stood at 2.67, based on 2 strong buy ratings, 24 buy ratings, 11 hold ratings and 2 sell ratings.
The bigger read-through is simple: the stock is trading above the consensus target even after a strong year-to-date advance, so the next leg depends on whether booking momentum and margin discipline hold up.
Why the product matters
Airbnb's core home-sharing marketplace remains the main engine behind the quarter's revenue and earnings beat, with the platform connecting hosts and guests across short-term stays and experiences.
