Airbnb Inc (NASDAQ:ABNB) shares plummeted more than 9% after-hours Tuesday despite the company’s reported Q2 results, with EPS of $0.56 beating the consensus estimate of $0.45.

Revenue grew 58% year-over-year (up 73% vs. Q2/19) to $2.1 billion, in line with the consensus estimate, driven by the combination of growth in Nights and Experiences Booked, and continued strength in ADR.

Nights and Experiences Booked grew 25% year-over-year to the largest quarterly number ever of 103.7 million, driven by North America, EMEA and Latin America. Gross Booking Value (GBV) grew 27% year-over-year (34% Y/Y (excluding FX) to $17 billion.

The company expects Q3/22 revenue in the range of $2.78-2.88 billion (up 24-29% year-over-year), compared to the consensus estimate of $2.77 expected. In Q3 2022, they expect Nights and Experienced Booked year-over-year growth to be stable with the year-over-year growth in Q2 2022.

The company announced its Board of Directors has approved a share repurchase authorization of $2 billion of its Class A common stock.
