Airbnb (ABNB) is one of those names I’ve liked for a while, but I’ve never quite gotten the chance to buy in at the price I want. That might finally be changing…
This week, I entered a longer-dated ratio spread that pays me $1.74 in credit while giving me the chance to own shares at $73.26 — a level I’d be more than happy to own it at.
That setup gives me a pretty comfortable break-even. It’s built on an 85-by-80 put ratio spread where you buy the $85 put and sell the $80, and I sold it going out to the Jan. 16, 2026, expiration.
It has a 91% probability of profit, and I don’t need a big move for this to work. If the stock stays above $80, I just keep the credit and walk away. If it drops below, I’m fine owning the shares — I’ve got a plan to repair the trade with covered calls and flip it for income.
This Isn’t an Earnings Gamble
This is not a short-term bet on earnings volatility. I’m not trying to hit a home run overnight. What I like about this trade is the structure — I’m getting paid now, and I’ve got time to manage it if things move against me.
Airbnb is trading cheaper than most hotel stocks when you compare price-to-earnings ratios. And even though travel demand could soften if jobless claims start rising, I still think Airbnb holds long-term value.
If I do get assigned, I’ll own shares at a level that’s lower than the stock’s 2022 bear market lows — and I’ve already mapped out covered call premiums in the $6–$7 range over 30 days if I need to generate income while holding.
If it all goes right, I keep the $174 credit with minimal risk. If it pulls back, I get in at a discount and start stacking income. Either way, I like my odds.
I cover stuff like this trade every single weekday during my “Final Hour” livestream at 3 p.m. ET!
I’ll see you in the markets.
