Airbnb closed at $174.56, its raised revenue outlook giving bulls exactly the catalyst they needed for a 15.1% single-session gain. On the other end of the ledger, Trade Desk (TTD) shed nearly a quarter of its value, closing at $13.83 — a 21.76% drop that made it the session's most dramatic casualty and dragged the broader ad-tech space lower with it.
The winners away from Airbnb were clustered in AI and optics. SoundHound AI added 12.92% to close at $8.00, Coherent gained 12.82% to $377.06, Tempus AI rose 11.23% to $51.30, and Navitas Semiconductor rounded out the top five with a 10.52% advance to $13.71. The common thread across those four names is exposure to the AI infrastructure buildout, which continued to attract buyers even as other corners of the market sold off.
