Airbnb (NASDAQ: ABNB), a San Francisco, California-based vacation rental and online marketplace company, was featured in this week’s Simply Wall St Journal. The piece explores the structures of Airbnb’s ownership and share registry as the company embarks on multiple travel-related ventures to expand its relevance and dominance. “Airbnb is heavily influenced by the locked-in insider ownership. The effective absolute power of management can be viewed as an additional fixed cost for the company — Great to have in good times and while making smart decisions, but exacerbated if implementing bad projects and decisions,” the publication reads. “On the positive side, the private equity ownership stake may serve as an active safeguard for accountability and pressure towards management. For shareholders, it is important to understand the weight of the additional risk imposed by this ownership structure. Incidentally, investors might feel more comfortable if the company had the same ownership structure but a single class of shares, like the traditional company structures. We don’t know if this trend of issuing multiple classes of shares for newer companies will result in a more productive operation. Time will tell.”
