Hey, it’s Olivia here. It’s been a big couple days for tech companies gearing up to go public. On Tuesday, Palantir Technologies Inc. filed for a direct listing, joining a fall rush to the markets that will include data platform Snowflake Inc., software company Asana Inc. and delivery behemoth DoorDash Inc.
But perhaps the most closely watched listing of them all will be Airbnb Inc. Just a few months ago, the company’s bookings had fallen by 90% and it looked to be on the verge of getting wiped out by Covid-19. Now, it's filed for what’s likely to be one of the biggest market debuts of the year.
