Airbnb – Shares of the vacation rental company fell 5.3%, a day after rising 13.35% following a better-than-expected fourth-quarter earnings report.

Zebra Technologies — Shares fell 5.3% after the company forecast full-year sales to decline slightly. CEO Anders Gustafsson said he is taking a “cautious approach” to the outlook based on an uncertain macroeconomic environment.

DoorDash reported $1.82 billion in revenue for the quarter, more than the $1.77 billion expected by Refinitiv, delivering an upbeat outlook.
