ABNBAirbnb Inc.- Uber: Ride-hailing + food delivery (Uber Eats) + freight. Finally consistently profitable after years of cash burn.
- Airbnb: Global short-term rentals marketplace. Strong brand, regulatory headwinds in major cities.
- Over the past five years Uber stock returned +57% versus +9% for Airbnb, in USD. Past performance is not a guide to the future.
- They compete in the same space (Travel & hospitality), so many investors simply own both through a broad index fund instead of picking a winner.

Frequently asked questions
Which performed better, Uber or Airbnb?
Over the past five years Uber stock returned +57% and Airbnb returned +9% in US dollars, so Uber has been the stronger performer in that window. Past performance says little about the future, which is why the chart on this page lets you check other periods too.
Can I buy both Uber and Airbnb shares?
Yes. Nothing stops you owning both companies, and many investors do exactly that instead of trying to pick the winner. Both are available to investors worldwide through a broker such as Interactive Brokers.
Is it safer to buy an ETF instead?
A broad index fund holds hundreds of companies at once, usually including both of these, so a single bad year at one business barely dents it. Owning individual shares concentrates that risk, which is why many beginners keep single stocks to a small slice of a mostly fund-based portfolio.
