Deutsche Bank believes that AI-enabled search enhancements could strengthen the long-term outlook for Airbnb . The bank upgraded the short-term vacation rental marketplace to a buy rating from hold. Analyst Lee Horowitz also hiked his price target to $154 from $128. Shares of Airbnb have dipped 18% over the past 12 months and are down 15% on the year. Horowitz's updated forecast implies an additional 33% upside ahead. ABNB 1Y mountain ABNB 1Y chart Horowitz's upgrade comes on the heels of Airbnb's fourth-quarter revenue beat . The company's revenue came in at $2.78 billion, while analysts polled by LSEG had expected $2.72 billion. Airbnb also expects current-quarter revenue to come in between $2.59 billion and $2.63 billion, beating the $2.53 consensus estimate. Horowitz wrote that the broader demand backdrop for Airbnb remains strong. He also applauded two of its newer strategies that could serve as catalysts from here. "Of particular note from a product perspective was the Reserve Now Pay Later (RNPL) product that contributed meaningfully to North America Nights and the shift to a more simplified fee structure for hosts which brought down friction for these hosts in terms of how they price their homes," Horowitz said. "These two initiatives drove > 200bps of growth in the quarter and should remain a tailwind into 2026." The analyst also sees a full product pipeline for Airbnb which could help boost revenue growth. "The product pipeline into 26/27 strikes us as fairly full as fee structure benefits scale, the hotel business grows beyond its fairly nascent stage at the moment, AI native search serves to drive up conversion, and the more streamlined fee structure allows for more smarter pricing by hosts and more market by market fee decisions by Airbnb, to say nothing of the potential benefits of Sponsored Advertising and Experiences and Services in the years to come," he wrote. Horowitz added that while Airbnb is not immune to AI-driven disintermediation, the compan...

Sundry Photography/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Shares of Arista Networks ( ANET ) jumped about 12% premarket on Friday after fourth quarter results and revenue outlook beat estimates and analysts maintained their bullish views. BofA kept its Buy rating on Arista and raised the price target on the stock to $185 from $175, citing accelerating momentum in 2026. Analysts led by Tal Liani said that capital expenditure, or Capex, spending is growing and Arista is a strong AI beneficiary. "Another strong quarter with 4Q revenue growth of 29% YoY above Street’s 24%, 1Q revenue growth guidance of 30% higher than Street’s 22%, and FY26 revenue growth guidance raised to 25% versus 20% prior. We believe the guidance is still too low and that Arista can grow 30%+ in 2026. The Company continues to benefit from elevated network investments by Hyperscalers and Neocloud providers, with Cloud Titans plus Service Providers and second-tier Cloud contributing 68% of revenues in 2025, and Enterprise the remaining 32%," the analysts added. The analysts noted that 2026 growth estimates remain conservative. Removing the expected AI and Campus contributions from the total growth guidance, it suggests no growth for theremaining 60% of the business, below the historical 7%, the analysts added. Accounting for that growth points to total 2026 growth of at least 30%, with additional Capex increases creating incremental upside, according to the analysts. Liani and his team said that Microsoft and Meta combined grew 56% and accounted for 42% of Arista's revenues. "Reiterate Buy and increase PO to $185 from $175 prior on higher estimates supported by the accelerated momentum," the analysts added. Wells Fargo maintained its Overweight rating on Arista and increased the price target on the stock to $185 from $175. "ANET's upward CY26 guide justifiably catalyzing shares (+25% y/y; sustainable GM%); providing increased confidence in ANET's path to >30% y/y growth + $5/sh.+ EPS upside in CY27," sai...

What's on Our Minds For most of the past 15 years, US equities didn’t just outperform, they made their outperformance feel inevitable. That’s what the idea of “US exceptionalism” became in practice: exceptional earnings growth, exceptional valuations (that didn’t matter), and eventually, exceptional concentration of market returns. Which has increasingly narrowed to a heavy bet on AI. A whole generation of investors has been weaned on US stock market exceptionalism. On a rolling three-year basis, the most recent stretch of US outperformance has lasted approximately 193 months, or more than 15 years—more than two-and-a-half times longer than any prior episode. Such investors may assume that the underperformance of US equities in 2025 was an aberration soon to be reversed, but market structure has changed from 15 years ago. While valuations of US and international markets were once similar, the US now trades at nearly twice the multiples of foreign stocks. The valuation gap has widened, ...
