The accommodation broker Airbnb recorded strong growth in the past financial year despite the rampant Omicron wave: Sales climbed from 3.38 to 5.99 billion dollars. According to its own statements, the US company has fully recovered from the crisis: In the fourth quarter, revenues were 38 percent higher than the same period in 2019, i.e. before the corona crisis.
Airbnb’s shares are also among those that have developed best in the OÖN stock market game in cooperation with Raiffeisen Oberösterreich: Peloton Interactive, Datadog, T-Mobile US and AT&S Austria have also been among the top performers since the game began.
