Airbnb (NASDAQ: ABNB) and Sprout Social (NASDAQ: SPT) are two of the stocks that short-sellers have targeted in recent days, and their arguments have some shareholders wondering if they should sell the stocks. The alternative accommodations website provider was the target of a short-seller's report arguing that numerous problems could hold Airbnb stock back in the long run.
