Brian Nowak has given his Sell rating due to a combination of factors related to Airbnb’s current market strategies and growth prospects. Despite the resilience in higher-end leisure travel and group travel segments, there are concerns about the company’s ability to sustain growth amidst tough comparisons and evolving market dynamics.
Additionally, while Airbnb is making efforts to enhance its supply quality and affordability, as well as expand into hotel offerings, these initiatives may lead to increased competition, particularly with established players like Booking Holdings. Furthermore, Airbnb’s growth initiatives in the US, such as targeting coastal users and penetrating new demographic segments, are still in early stages and face challenges in driving significant acceleration. These factors collectively contribute to a cautious outlook on Airbnb’s stock performance.
In another report released yesterday, Cantor Fitzgerald also reiterated a Sell rating on the stock with a $110.00 price target.
ABNB’s price has also changed moderately for the past six months – from $155.310 to $124.960, which is a -19.54% drop .
