AirbnbEarlier confirmedWill go public in 2020, but did not specify the detailed listing model.
Prior to this, Airbnb had been rumored to be preparing to go public for quite some time. Now it has confirmed that it will conduct an IPO in 2020, becoming another startup company that emphasizes the sharing economy development model and is raising funds for listing. Currently, services including Uber and Lyft are ready for the initial public offering.
Current market rumors suggest that Airbnb will adopt a direct listing, meaning it can complete the listing process through registration without issuing additional new shares and allow for free market trading. Spotify previously chose this method when it went public in New York, allowing it to enter the public market more quickly.
In fact, Airbnb had previously revealed that it would prepare for an IPO in the second half of this year. The announcement that it will go public in 2020 shows that Airbnb is fully prepared and expects to attract more investment through a public listing.
