Airbnb shares are likely to rise as the company's hotel business gains traction and its adoption of artificial intelligence helps drive growth, according to an analysis from KeyBanc cited by CNBC.
KeyBanc's assessment points to Airbnb trading at a lower valuation than it has in the past, suggesting the stock currently looks relatively inexpensive compared with its historical levels.
Growth drivers cited
According to the report, two factors are seen as central to the firm's more positive view: Airbnb's expansion into the hotel booking business, which is said to be gaining traction, and the company's integration of AI tools, which KeyBanc views as a potential driver of further growth.
The report did not include specific price targets or detailed financial projections beyond the firm's overall recommendation to buy the stock at current levels.
Airbnb has in recent periods sought to diversify beyond its traditional home-sharing marketplace, including moves into additional travel and hospitality offerings.
