Well-spirited Airbnb is undergoing a major overhaul, with the company aiming to revamp its hospitality and rental businesses. The bank has upgraded the short-term rental name to overweight and has raised its price target on shares to $178 from $136, suggesting a 24.8% increase from Tuesday's close. The company is also working towards adding more hotel listings to its platform and integrating ride and excursion-booking services. Analysts predict aggressive growth in hotel supply acquisition and merchandising, sponsored listings, and improved conversion w/ AI search will boost shares.
