Jim Cramer in a latest program on CNBC said that pain is “inevitable” in the stock market as investors go through the volatility infused by the latest tariffs announced by the US government against China, Canada and Mexico. However, Cramer said investors should get used to this volatility and be ready for different situations.

“Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said in the last of his myriad interviews of the day that maybe the Canadian and Mexican tariffs could be partially rolled back, perhaps as soon as tomorrow. Yes, it is all that capricious, and you better get used to it if you’re going to own stocks,” Cramer said.

Jim Cramer in a latest program talked about cyclical trends in the market and said Airbnb, Inc. (NASDAQ:ABNB) has become a company that continues to see growth amid strong travel demand.

“When you travel, you need someplace to stay, don’t you? They (Airbnb) just reported excellent numbers. These were cyclical stocks before COVID, but now they’re secular, meaning they seem to have growing growth no matter what.”

Oakmark Equity and Income Fund stated the following regarding Airbnb, Inc. (NASDAQ:ABNB) in its Q4 2024 investor letter:

“Airbnb, Inc. (NASDAQ:ABNB) is an online marketplace to list, discover and book unique accommodations worldwide. The company benefits from a strong network effect between its guests and hosts. We believe there is a long growth runway as global travel is an attractive market, and alternative accommodations have been taking share. We anticipate Airbnb will drive further growth by creating more valuable services for both sides of its network, which includes the potential for paid placement, which has created significant economic value for comparable market places. In our view, management is aligned shareholders and well qualified to lead Airbnb as the company attempts to capture these growth opportunities. Short-term concerns about the macro travel environment and declining margins stemming from growth investments allowed us to purchase shares at a discount to our estimate of business value.”
