Airbnb’s Common Stock Price Rises 10%
Airbnb's common stock value is now about 20% higher than its nadir in the spring, but it still at about half its peak last year.
Why it is one to watch: One of the few high profile, consumer-brand tech companies going public in this period, it will test investors' confidence in the home-sharing business model, which has been under regulatory and competitive attack. The fact that it is occurring during a pandemic which has devastated travel also poses a challenge.
Expected timing: December.
Type: IPO
