Airbnb reported better-than-expected revenue for the fourth quarter, leading to an initial increase in its stock price. However, the shares later fell as the company reported a loss per share and issued an optimistic forecast for the current quarter. Despite meeting expectations for nights booked, Airbnb plans to expand into foreign markets and reinvent its core business. The company expects revenue growth in the first quarter, aided by the timing of Easter. Additionally, Airbnb announced a new stock-buyback authorization.
