Airbnb is the last major platform company to not have issued any shares. Now the time has come, because this type of company, which includes Amazon and Facebook, for example, will be particularly in vogue in 2020. Despite or partly because of Corona, their business models are currently considered a license to print money, which brought them strong price increases this year. Platform stocks are in demand. This also explains why the supposed travel company Airbnb is going public in the middle of the biggest crisis for tourism and business travel. Everyone - whether institutional investors or private savers - want to have their share in the company, which will soon be listed on the Nasdaq technology exchange with the new abbreviation ABNB.
