Airbnb Inc (NASDAQ:ABNB) is one of the Jim Cramer Says People Are Getting “Happier” & Discusses These 11 Stocks.
Airbnb Inc (NASDAQ:ABNB) is a hospitality provider whose shares are up by a modest 3% year-to-date. The stock has suffered amidst a selloff in the broader travel industry due to economic concerns. Cramer has called the selloff the end of a ‘travel bull market’ and bemoaned the end of one sector that had performed well in 2025’s early months. Since their February peak, Airbnb Inc (NASDAQ:ABNB)’s shares have lost 16%. Cramer’s previous comments about the stock have speculated that the dip is part of a self-fulfilling prophecy which means that people start selling once they start believing a stock will fall. His latest remarks were quite upbeat:
“But these . . .companies, along with . . .AirBnB, they came from a particular era of IPO. Of winners. And these are all ones I’d buy.”
Cramer discussed Airbnb Inc (NASDAQ:ABNB) in detail after the firm’s Q1 earnings. Here’s what he said:
“One of the things that came up on the AirBnb call last night, we’ll see that stock down, is that travel bull market over. I mean we know Booking’s didn’t have a perfect number.
“Okay so Brian Chesky has this annoying habit, I happen to like Brian from 2008, he has this annoying habit of finding something that’s wrong. Let the analysts do it Brian! You don’t have to do it. I liked the quarter. He did have this, you know there’s this, not a lot of bookings done, in this one window, and that indicated to him that something’s wrong. This guy goes out of his way to keep a Sell on his own stock. Brian take your, take your view of AirBnb, take it to a Hold. . . I want to like wring his neck, I like him so much.

“I just think that the issue with AirBnb is just that as long as hotels are very expensive, then you go AirBnb. Brian’s gotta stick to that script. And I like him so much I’m joking about obviously, but he does have this kind of bent about him to find the negatives. I would have come up with the other, which is that boy I’ll tell you, if we do have a slowdown, remember how well we do. And remember even in COVID people used to go from one place to another. My daughter she was teaching English in Spain. On the weekends, she would go from one part of Spain to another cause that’s what you did! That’s gonna come back. Brian’s gotta get a little more positive.”
