Why airbnb worth 5x as expedia?

Yes I am jealous. Airbnb has ~4b revenue last year, and the growth rate is similar to Expedia’s growth rate in 2013 , when Expedia has 4.7b revenue(https://www.statista.com/statistics/269387/revenue-of-expedia/) Yes, it has better UI. But why 5x market value?

AirBnb is much harder to replicate

Expedia and airbnb are entirely different businesses. If Expedia disappeared tomorrow nothing would change. If airbnb did, there would be change.

Airbnb disappeared for almost a year. Grass is still pretty green.

Don't ask. Just follow the money

Simple, real answer: it’s overvalued AF

No idea. Used Airbnb once and had a pretty sketchy experience. Maybe it is just me but probably I will think twice before I book via Airbnb next time. But right now the entire market seems to be ready for a correction. Some of these valuations and that too during a pandemic aren't making any sense.

Expedia screws me every time on reservations if I need to modify or cancel, its totally optional since booking direct us often easier and better while airbnb actually delivers value .. sorry. Just imho
