Airbnb shares surged 16% on Friday to $176.20, a four-year high, after the company reported June-quarter results that beat expectations. Revenue rose 16.5% to $3.6 billion and nights booked climbed to 148.3 million, Livemint reports. The company also raised its full-year outlook for the second straight quarter, now expecting at least mid-teens revenue growth and an adjusted EBITDA margin of at least 35.5%. CEO Brian Chesky attributed the momentum to investments in AI and expansion beyond home-sharing into hotels and experiences. India was a fast-growing origin market, with net nights booked up 60%.
