Airbnb improved its margins from -5% in 2019 to 27% in 2021. The company expects to deliver its first positive adjusted EBITDA in Q1 and investors are hopeful for an earnings beat.

Last quarter CVS maintained its full-year adjusted EPS guidance range of $8.10 to $8.30 for 2022. This implies retail revenue to be plus or minus 1% Y/Y.
