Vacasa Offers Early Signal on Summer Vacation Demand -- Market Talk

Dow Jones05-10
 

1909 ET - Vacasa is sending early warning signs on summer travel demand this year. The company says it's cutting an additional 13% of its workforce due to softer demand. Management says in a shareholder letter that after a slow start to bookings in January, there was in uptake in February. Now, with greater visibility into summer bookings, the company says the number of bookings and price for bookings are both below expectations. The commentary on weaker demand conflicts with results for Airbnb, which saw a 12% increase in gross bookings in 1Q and said it expected strong demand in the summer tied to the Paris Olympics. Vacasa shares drop 6.3% post-market. (ben.glickman@wsj.com; @benglickman)
