Airbnb Inc (NASDAQ:ABNB, ETR:6Z1) has urged New York City lawmakers to reconsider regulations on short-term rentals introduced in September 2023 which it says have increased costs for travellers without improving housing supply.

CEO Brian Chesky's vision includes new services like a co-hosting marketplace, which is expected to significantly increase listings and revenue. Current market estimates undervalue Airbnb. My DCF model suggests a fair value of $160 per share, making it a Strong Buy.
