Just to preempt most of the usual snarky comments --

What's confidential is the contents of the filing, not the fact.

All the initial S-1 filings I'm aware of are confidential. After amendments (S-1A filings), the resulting document can be made public. At this time, any details of offering are still volatile, and there's no reason to force companies to publish that information until the final offering details are solid.

I heard that Airbnb's business is actually stronger in US and Europe now than pre-pandemic, as tourism shifts towards local and people shy away from hotels.

On the other hand, they're still in money saving mode, reducing ad spending and laying people off.

Anyone know what is going on?
