How to buy shares in Airbnb
- Compare share trading platforms. To buy shares in a company listed in the US from Australia you'll need to find a trading platform that offers access to US stock markets. Look for a platform with low brokerage and foreign exchange fees.
- Open and fund your brokerage account. Complete an application with your personal and financial details, which will typically include your ID and tax file number. Fund your account with a bank transfer, credit card or debit card.
- Search for Airbnb. Find the share by name or ticker symbol: ABNB. Research its history to confirm it's a solid investment that matches your financial goals.
- Purchase now or later. Buy today with a market order or use a limit order to delay your purchase until Airbnb reaches your desired price. To spread out your risk, look into dollar-cost averaging, which smooths out buying using consistent intervals and amounts.
- Decide on how many to buy. At last close price of US$148.75, weigh your budget against a diversified portfolio that can minimise risk through the market's ups and downs. You may be able to buy a fractional share of Airbnb, depending on your broker.
- Check in on your investment. Congratulations, you own a part of Airbnb. Optimise your portfolio by tracking how your stock — and even the business — performs with an eye on the long term. You may be eligible for dividends and shareholder voting rights.

Is it a good time to buy Airbnb stock?

Is Airbnb under- or over-valued?
Valuing Airbnb stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Airbnb's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Airbnb's P/E ratio
Airbnb's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 20x. In other words, Airbnb shares trade at around 20x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
However, Airbnb's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the travel services industry or those of similar companies.
- Carnival Corporation (CCL.US): 25.70
- Delta Air Lines (DAL.US): 6.44
- Expedia Group (EXPE.US): 25.34
Airbnb's PEG ratio
Airbnb's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 13.3256. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Airbnb's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
However, it's sensible to consider Airbnb's PEG ratio in relation to those of similar companies.
- Carnival Corporation (CCL.US): 1.41
- Delta Air Lines (DAL.US): 39.29
- Expedia Group (EXPE.US): 0.41
Airbnb's EBITDA
Airbnb's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is US$1.7 billion (£1.3 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Airbnb's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.
To put Airbnb's EBITDA into context you can compare it against that of similar companies.
- Carnival Corporation (CCL.US): USD$5.3 billion
- Delta Air Lines (DAL.US): USD$8.1 billion
- Expedia Group (EXPE.US): USD$1.7 billion
Airbnb share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Airbnb's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$113.235 up to US$170.1. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta measures a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Airbnb's is 1.19. This would suggest that Airbnb's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
To put Airbnb's beta into context you can compare it against those of similar companies.
- Carnival Corporation (CCL.US): 2.693
- Delta Air Lines (DAL.US): 1.353
- Expedia Group (EXPE.US): 1.785
