Airbnb, Inc. (ABNB) shares took a significant hit in pre-market trading, plummeting 5.10% following a downward revision of its price target by Jefferies. The sharp decline comes as investors react to the adjusted outlook for the popular home-sharing platform.
Jefferies, a prominent financial services company, lowered its price target on Airbnb from $185 to $170, while maintaining a Buy rating on the stock. This adjustment, despite the continued positive stance, appears to have sparked concerns among investors about Airbnb's near-term growth prospects and valuation.
Despite the reduced price target, it's worth noting that Jefferies' new target of $170 still represents a significant premium to Airbnb's current trading price. The average analyst rating for Airbnb remains at "hold," with a mean price target of $153.21, according to FactSet data. This suggests that while the stock is facing short-term pressure, analysts generally maintain a cautiously optimistic long-term view on the company's potential.
