It was a business I had a look at, but ultimately it's an area I wouldn't want to invest in. I've used them for travel before and it's a great idea, but for an investor I find there's too much risk from too many areas.
Great piece. Curious, what makes you choose 2.5% as terminal growth rate? Also ABNB shareholder, believing in the R&D enhancements of the company, its brand, and potential new verticals ⚡️
Thanks! I typically choose a terminate rate of 2-3%, so 2.5% is simply right in the middle. In my experience, when explicitly forecasting many years in the future, the terminal rate is not so important. For instance, were I to change it to 3%, my expected return in the base scenario would change from 10.9% to 11%.
Good breakdown.

That's fair enough.

Hope that helps!
