Summary
- Airbnb has filed to raise $1 billion in an IPO, although the final amount may differ.

Quick Take
Airbnb has filed to raise $1 billion in an IPO of its Class A common stock, according to an S-1 registration statement.
The firm provides an online platform enabling persons to rent accommodations from other individuals for short periods of time.
ABNB has experienced significant revenue contraction due to the Covid-19 pandemic and I’m concerned that this revenue dampening will continue well into 2021.
I’ll provide a final opinion when we learn further IPO details from management.
