ABNB was lowered to underperform from buy with a $103 price target, representing a 26% downside from Friday’s closing price of $139.25. Analyst Robert Mollins said that ABNB’s valuation is “more than stretched” compared to other online travel stocks Booking Holdings (BKNG - Free Report) and Expedia (EXPE - Free Report) .

Its market cap hit $100 billion and now sits around $77.2 billion.
