Wyatt: Growth & Innovation 📈
I stand here on my soapbox every Thursday and preach the good word of innovation.
To be honest, it’s the highlight of my week!
In my research this week, I was doing a bit of forward-thinking. A thought experiment on what makes a company a game-changing disruptor.
It dawned on me that in order to stay on top and remain relevant, a company must disrupt the sector then, continue to do so.
It’s the reason legacy companies are on the way out!
Legacy companies were once powerful game changers, but they became complacent, eventually losing their ability to compete against modern technology-embracing companies.
Tesla Inc. (Nasdaq: $TSLA) is the perfect example of this mindset.
That’s why we’re bullish on $TSLA, because we believe it will be relevant for a very long time, potentially leading to a big gain.
Today, I want to discuss a company that disrupted a sector and continues to shake things up. . .
Disrupting Through Innovation 💣
Airbnb Inc. (Nasdaq: ABNB) operates an online marketplace for short and long-term homestays and experiences.
$ABNB disrupted the accommodation and hotel industry by allowing users to rent rooms and houses directly from the owners.
$ABNB controls 26% of the online travel booking service market. This is a $519.1 billion market that’s projected to reach $620 billion by 2030!
$ABNB launched as a booking platform for lodging, but has since expanded to include experiences both on and offline.
This is the type of innovation we look for in companies, and they have plans to keep redefining the industry.
$ABNB’s CEO, Brian Chesky, said,
“We’re expanding beyond the core business and reinventing Airbnb. Airbnb is at an inflection point. We spent the last three years perfecting our core service, and we’re now ready to embark on our next chapter. We're focused on unlocking more growth opportunities by investing in underpenetrated international markets, and we're seeing some great results.”
This is another bullish sign.
Speaking of bullish signs, in 2023, $ABNB repurchased $2.25 billion of its shares, and its board of directors approved a repurchase of up to $6 billion of its Class A common stock in 2024.
We see stock dilution as a red flag, but a stock buy-back is the exact opposite of dilution — resulting in the remaining circulating stock becoming scarcer.
This shows $ABNB’s commitment to its future and confidence in its prospects.
Now, let’s go into $ABNB’s financials. . .
Up Year Over Year 🐮
$ABNB announced its earnings yesterday, February 14.
It announced revenue of $2.2 billion, an increase of 17% year over year (YoY). This increase is attributed to an increased demand in travel.
$ABNB’s adjusted EBITDA is $738 million, an increase of 46% YoY.
Its bookings also increased 12% YoY.
The company also shared that it surpassed five million hosts worldwide.
Its active listings exceeded 7.7 million at the end of 2023, an 18% increase YoY.
In other words, it was a stellar quarter for $ABNB!
Add Innovation To Your Portfolio 🧠
Innovation is key in this market, and our portfolios are packed with companies that put innovation first.
We have held $ABNB in our Silver Tier portfolio since 2020, but we believe it has more upside!

#GBC100: Thursday, February 15, 2024
The #GBC100 is up 3.61% today.
With markets shifting in our direction, there isn’t anything new to write about. So, just to let you know, we won’t always be commenting on the performance of the #GBC100 daily.
However, we’ll be updating the performance, and we want to remind folks that our goal is to turn the #GBC100 into an ETF that offers a one-stock way to invest the ATG way — in innovation and growth.
