$Airbnb, Inc.(ABNB)$ $Booking Holdings(BKNG)$ $Expedia(EXPE)$ 🏠💰📊 Airbnb’s Cash Flow Transformation vs Market Valuation Stagnation: A Structural Disconnect 🏠📈📉

Airbnb’s free cash flow has grown from 151M in 2017 to an impressive 4.3B by 2024. This is a platform business with high operating leverage, and the numbers tell a compelling story. After the pandemic slump in 2020, $ABNB rapidly flipped to consistent, expanding cash generation quarter after quarter.

Despite this, the share price has remained stagnant for five years. That disconnect isn’t random. Airbnb IPO’d at a rich valuation, and as rates climbed through 2022–2023, the market aggressively repriced growth equities. The multiple paid for each dollar of cash flow contracted, offsetting the company’s fundamental gains.

There’s also a structural narrative under review. Regulators are tightening short-stay rules globally, key urban markets are maturing, and investors are questioning whether Airbnb evolves into a Booking-style compounding story or faces growth ceilings. Meanwhile, its steadily expanding cash reserves provide strategic flexibility for buybacks, reinvestment, or global expansion.

👉❓When does the market begin to rerate $ABNB for the 4.3B cash flow engine it has become, rather than the overhyped IPO story it once was?

    💰That 4.3B figure really hits home. When I compare that to $BKNG’s cash flow trajectory at similar maturity, it’s clear Airbnb’s fundamentals have outpaced the narrative. Valuation stagnation against that backdrop is exactly the kind of inefficiency that catches my eye.

    The valuation compression angle is actually so underrated. Everyone kept focusing on growth hype when the real story’s been the cash flow engine powering up underneath. 4.3B is massive and if $BKNG’s any guide the rerating could be sharp when it turns.

    Shocked why abnb isn’t already trading at PE ratio of 160 since cash is $11b to debt $2, highly profiting and it only gets better as more businesses coming onto the platform. Almost no competition, except vbro. Why isn’t this behaving like Netflix?
