damedeeso/iStock via Getty Images A brief look back I last covered Airbnb (NASDAQ:ABNB) in November 2023 (time flies!). The article put a hold rating on the stock, with a price target of buying near $100. Here is my rating history: Seeking Alpha The first two buy ratings worked well, with quick gains of 26% and 32%, and the sell rating was timely. However, I missed out on more gains with the hold in the center of the graph. At that time, I wrote the following: Let's face it. We know that consumers ca ...

Investors are worried about a travel slowdown.Airbnb (ABNB -2.16%) is one of the most divisive stocks out there.

Equities are being whipsawed by conflicting economic data. Some data points support the soft-landing theory and would guide to lower interest rates. However, some data suggests that the economy is still too strong for the Fed to consider cutting rates. It doesn’t help that we’re now in a time of year that is cyclically volatile for stocks.  This roller coaster ride is particularly noticeable in the technology sector. Many of the top technology stocks have fallen sharply. In fact, many are now trading at or ...

Much of this centers on the health of the American consumer, who drives the U.S. economy.First, the unemployment rate increased from 4.1% in June to 4.3% in July, causing many prognosticators to discuss a potential recession. The market dipped as a result. Next, data came out that unemployment claims actually fell, indicating a more resilient jobs market.As ...

No one enjoys being caught in a downdraft. However, it’s also worth pointing out an obvious reality: you don’t actually absorb a loss until you close your position. Now, I want to be careful when saying that because in many cases, it’s better to cut your losses. However, certain robust enterprises with solid business models should be able to recover. And that’s the theme behind stocks to buy after the selloff.Around the middle of last month, the market finally began demonstrating conspicuous signs of weakne ...

Klaus Vedfelt Just three months ago in early May of this year, Airbnb, Inc. (NASDAQ:ABNB) shares fell sharply following the release of Q1 2024 results. For many investors, this seemed like a good time to buy the dip and increase exposure to what seemed to be an attractive long-term growth story. To more prudent investors, however, the first quarter was a major red flag and even though the stock fell sharply following the report, it was clear that rushing to buy the stock was highly likely to be a mistak ...
