One month after Airbnb's high profile IPO that raised the company $3.5 billion, the home sharing company is beginning to receive coverage from Wall Street analysts. Airbnb has surged 116% since its public debut at $68 per share, giving it a valuation of more than $100 billion. But the company is still one to two years away from profitability, according to Goldman Sachs. Here's what three Wall Street analysts think about Airbnb and its long term growth prospects. 1. Goldman Sachs Rating: Neutral Price Target: $146.
Main Idea: Wall Street analysts were mostly positive on Airbnb’s long-term growth after its strong IPO surge, but they said the company still faces major risks and may not turn profitable for one to two years.
Key Points:
Airbnb’s rapid growth could push up vacation rental costs and add pressure for stricter rules in neighborhoods.
Airbnb may create more income for hosts, support travel spending, and give consumers more lodging choices.
