Airbnb seeks valuation up to $35 billion in IPO filing
Live MintAirbnb is seeking to raise some $2.6 billion in its upcoming share offering, which could give the home-sharing giant a valuation as high as $35 billion, an updated regulatory filing showed Tuesday. The latest filing appeared to confirm an upbeat outlook for Airbnb, which has claimed its home-sharing model has proved resilient during the global coronavirus pandemic with travelers seeking safer lodgings and avoiding crowded hotels. The company may still update its offering price, but at current levels the valuation would be as much as $35 billion including restricted stock and options. Earlier this week food delivery service DoorDash said it aimed to raise upwards of $2 billion in a stock market debut valuing the startup at more than $25 billion.
