CFO Elinor Mertz sold 7,433 shares of ABNB at $136.24 on 2026-06-02 under pre-arranged 10b5-1 plan; stock -9.2% from 52-week high.

Elinor Mertz, CFO of Airbnb, sold 7,433 shares at $136.24 under a 10b5-1 trading plan adopted on 2025-05-30, reducing holdings from 456,473 to 449,040 shares. This transaction is scheduled and non-discretionary by design. The sale occurred as ABNB stock trades -9.2% from its 52-week high of $147.25 and -4.3% over the 30-day period. Across Mertz's prior five trades at ABNB, four of five were followed by negative 30-day returns (ranging from -4.8% to -7.9%), though this historical pattern does not drive interpretation of a mechanically executed plan trade. The company's fundamentals show $2.7B quarterly revenue and +10.3% annual growth, with $160.0M net income in the latest quarter.

CFO Mertz sells $536K of Airbnb shares, continuing a pattern of consistent dispositions from her holdings.

Airbnb's CFO Mertz Elinor has now sold shares in five separate transactions over the past several months, including this latest disposal of 3,750 shares. While the company itself remains profitable with solid revenue growth, Mertz's consistent selling pattern—with no offsetting purchases in her 20-trade history—suggests she may be rebalancing or diversifying away from company stock rather than signaling operational concerns. The stock is currently trading modestly below its recent highs after a strong rally, which is a typical window for insiders to take some chips off the table. Mertz's prior sales in this stock all remain too recent for outcome evaluation, so this appears to be part of an ongoing personal liquidity strategy rather than a sharp reversal or fresh conviction signal. For most retail investors, consistent C-suite selling at these prices warrants monitoring but is not inherently alarming given the company's fundamentals remain intact.

Airbnb CFO Elinor Mertz sold 4,308 shares at $135.73 on 2026-03-05; stock at $134.03 currently.

Elinor Mertz, Airbnb's CFO, sold 4,308 shares at $135.73, reducing holdings from 402,416 to 398,108 shares (a -1.1% reduction in position size). The sale occurred near Airbnb's 52-week high range and at a price $1.70 above current levels ($134.03), suggesting the trade execution was favorable relative to today's market. Mertz's cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior open-market sells with an average 90-day return of -2.3% and a 55.56% well-timed rate, indicating mixed timing discipline. However, at ABNB specifically, her prior three measurable sales resulted in 0 well-timed outcomes at the 90-day horizon, suggesting her timing at this ticker has underperformed her broader pattern. The company's fundamentals remain solid with net income of $1,374,000,000 and annual revenue growth of +10.3%, providing no obvious distress signal underlying the transaction.

ABNB CFO Elinor Mertz sold 3,750 shares at $135.94 on 2026-01-02; retains 414,279 shares.

Elinor Mertz, CFO of Airbnb, conducted an open-market sale of 3,750 shares (a -0.9% reduction in her 418,029-share position) at $135.94 per share on 2026-01-02, realizing $509,775. This represents a modest portfolio adjustment—she retains 414,279 shares post-transaction. At current price of $138.02, the stock has appreciated 11.0% in the 30 days following the sale and 15.0% over 90 days, suggesting the sale occurred in a rising market. Mertz's cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior open-market sells with a 90-day well-timed rate of 62.50%, indicating her sells historically precede stock declines slightly more than half the time. At ABNB specifically, she has completed 5 prior trades, of which measurable outcomes show mixed results: her 2025-09-02 sell yielded a -7.5% 90-day return (well-timed), while her 2025-10-24 and 2025-10-28 sells each posted -10% 30-day declines. The current transaction is small relative to her holdings and occurred during a period of ABNB strength, with the company reporting $4.1B quarterly revenue and $1.4B net income (12.0% annual revenue growth).

CFO Mertz sells 7,500 ABNB shares at $130.00; second sale in 3 days with 2/2 prior ABNB sells well-timed at 90 days.

Elinor Mertz, CFO of Airbnb, sold 7,500 shares at $130.00 on 2025-12-12, just three days after a prior sale on 2025-12-09, bringing her post-transaction holdings to 418,029 shares. At the stock's current price of $132.01, the transaction is -18.2% from the 52-week high, and the stock is up 8.2% over 30 days and 7.2% over 90 days. Critically, her prior trading activity at ABNB is notable: across 5 prior trades at this ticker, her two measurable 90-day outcomes (2025-09-02 and 2025-08-04) were both negative (-7.5% and -2.0% respectively), meaning both sales preceded stock declines—a 100% well-timed rate at this ticker. While this pattern may reflect institutional portfolio management rather than predictive conviction, the sequence of two sales within three days during a period when the stock is trading well below its 52-week high warrants monitoring for signs of systematic positioning adjustments.

CFO Elinor Mertz sells 4,630 ABNB shares at $125.00; prior three 90-day outcomes at this ticker were all well-timed declines.

Mertz sold 4,630 shares (−1.1% of her $425.5K post-transaction holdings) at $125.00, reducing exposure while the stock trades at $128.00 current price, only −20.7% from its 52-week high. Her timing pattern on ABNB is notable: across 5 prior trades at this ticker, the 3 measurable 90-day outcomes (2025-09-02, 2025-08-04, 2025-07-07) each produced negative returns (−7.5%, −2.0%, −11.5% respectively), meaning all three prior sales preceded declines. Her cross-ticker track record shows a 55.56% well-timed rate on 20 prior sells with an average 90-day return of −1.3%. This recurring pattern of selling before downturns at ABNB warrants attention, though the most recent two sales (2025-10-28, 2025-10-24) lack 90-day outcome data. Despite solid fundamentals ($4.1B revenue, $1.4B net income, +12.0% annual growth), the CFO's systematic pre-decline selling behavior at this specific ticker suggests she may detect signals not yet reflected in the current valuation.

CFO Mertz sells 7,500 ABNB shares at $130.00 for $975,000; retains 436,570 shares post-sale

Mertz Elinor, CFO of Airbnb, sold 7,500 shares at $130.00 on 2025-10-28, reducing her holdings by 1.7% to 436,570 shares. At the current price of $126.34, the stock trades 21.7% below its 52-week high of $161.42. Her prior trades at ABNB show a pattern of accurate sell timing at the 90-day horizon: the sale on 2025-07-07 preceded a 90-day decline of -11.5%, and the earlier sale on 2025-06-04 also resulted in a negative 90-day return of -3.6%. This latest transaction occurs just four days after another sale (2025-10-24), continuing a series of dispositions in recent weeks. The company posted $3.1B in latest-quarter revenue with $642.0M net income and 12.0% annual revenue growth, suggesting underlying business strength, though the current valuation discount may be influencing capital allocation decisions.

CFO Mertz sells 12,184 ABNB shares at $127.65; 5th sale in 5 months; post-trade holding: 444.1K shares

Mertz sold 12,184 shares at $127.65 on 2025-10-24, reducing holdings by -2.7% to 444.1K shares. This represents the fifth open-market sale in five months (June through October 2025). At the same ticker (ABNB), 2 of 2 prior measurable sales were well-timed, with the 2025-07-07 sale followed by a -11.5% 90-day return and the 2025-06-04 sale followed by a -3.6% 90-day return. However, the cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior sells with an average 90-day return of +0.2%, suggesting inconsistent timing discipline across his portfolio. The current price of $128.01 is -20.7% from the 52-week high of $161.42, placing the stock in a retreated position while ABNB fundamentals remain solid: $3.1B quarterly revenue with +12.0% annual growth and $642.0M net income. The timing of this sale relative to ABNB's technical position warrants observation.

CFO Mertz sells 4,630 ABNB shares at $128.42; stock now -22.3% from 52-week high

Elinor Mertz, CFO of Airbnb, sold 4,630 shares at $128.42 on 2025-09-02, representing a modest -1.0% reduction in her 448,700-share position. The sale occurred when ABNB was trading at a significant discount to its 52-week high—22.3% below the peak of $161.42—with the stock down 10.9% over 90 days and 3.5% over 30 days. Among Mertz's 5 prior sales at ABNB, her timing record has been mixed: only 1 of 3 trades with measurable 90-day outcomes was well-timed (negative return post-sale), while 2 generated positive returns after she sold. Her cross-ticker track record across 20 prior sells shows a 50% well-timed rate with modest negative average returns of -0.6% over 90 days, neither a strong pattern of foresight nor systematic poor judgment. The sale is a routine portfolio adjustment by a CFO whose company reported solid Q3 fundamentals (revenue $3.1B, net income $642.0M, annual growth +12.0%), and the modest share count reduction does not suggest material conviction shifts.

Airbnb CFO Mertz sells 6,250 shares at $129.10; retains 455,111 shares post-transaction.

CFO Elinor Mertz sold 6,250 shares (6.2K shares) of Airbnb at $129.10 on 2025-08-04, reducing holdings by -1.4% to 455,111 shares (455.1K shares).

His prior sales at Airbnb show weak timing outcomes—0 of 2 measurable 90-day periods resulted in net declines (the intended pattern for sells), with outcomes of +3.7% and +14.2% suggesting he typically sold before upward moves. The company posted solid fundamentals with $3.1B in latest-quarter revenue and +12.0% annual growth, providing no obvious distress signal underlying the transaction.
