Last quarter Airbnb reported revenues of $2.1 billion, up 57.5% year on year, in line with analyst expectations.

The company reported 103.7 million nights booked, up 24.7% year on year.

Majority of analysts covering the company have reconfirmed their estimates over the last thirty days, suggesting they are expecting the business to stay the course heading into the earnings. The company only missed Wall St's revenue estimates once over the last two years, and has on average exceeded top line expectations by 8.86%.

Looking at Airbnb's peers in the consumer internet segment, some of them have already reported Q3 earnings results, giving us a hint of what we can expect. Snap delivered top-line growth of 5.71% year on year, missing analyst estimates by 0.91% and Pinterest reported revenues up 8.15% year on year, exceeding estimates by 2.68%. Snap traded down 21.5% on the results, and Pinterest was up 15.3%. Read our full analysis of Snap's results here and Pinterest's results here.

Investors in the consumer internet segment have had steady hands going into the earnings, with the stocks up on average 1.7% over the last month. Airbnb is up 8.52% during the same time, and is heading into the earnings with analyst price target of $52.20, compared to share price of $138.6.

One way to find opportunities in the market is to watch for generational shifts in the economy. Almost every company is slowly finding itself becoming a technology company and facing cybersecurity risks and as a result, the demand for cloud-native cybersecurity is skyrocketing. This company is leading a massive technological shift in the industry and with revenue growth of 70% year on year and best-in-class SaaS metrics it should definitely be on your radar.
