- Piper Sandler analyst Thomas Champion downgraded Airbnb Inc ABNB to Neutral from Overweight with a price target of $169, down from $215, suggesting a 5.7% upside.

- The analyst expects travel in the U.S. in 2022 to look much closer to 219 levels than it did in 2020 and 2021.
- Champion added while Airbnb remains a "top-tier asset," the stock's setup looks less favorable into 2022.
- The analyst cited "elevated" Street expectations, valuation, and its "alternatives pure-play focus," which may be less desirable as travel normalizes, for the downgrade.
- Price Action: ABNB shares are trading lower by 3.75% at $159.82 on the last check Monday.
