Introduction
A year ago, I shared on Seeking Alpha the reasons why I am long Airbnb (NASDAQ:ABNB). The stock has gone through high volatility since then, trading down into the $80s and then moving back up to $150, before retracing back
This Is What Airbnb Has In Common With Costco And Amazon
Summary
- Airbnb's stock has experienced high volatility, and it is currently seeing a strong pullback.
- I believe that Airbnb's profitability and growth trajectory make it a winner of the next decade.
- Airbnb's balance sheet reveals a hidden asset in the form of unearned fees, which contributes to its profitability.
I focus on long term growth and dividend growth investing. I follow both the US and the European stock markets, looking for undervalued stock and/or for high quality dividend growing companies that provide me with cash to reinvest. Over time, I have come to realize that profitability is a much safer driver of gains than low valuation. As a result, I give utmost importance to margins, free cash flow stability and growth, and returns on invested capital. I research stocks within my areas of competence and whenever I find a high-quality company, I usually never get bored in researching it more and more.
