(Reuters) - Airbnb will be ready for an initial public offering later this year, the home-renting company's chief executive officer told CNBC on Monday.
"We will be ready a little bit later this year and then any point from then on you could see us," Brian Chesky told CNBC when asked about company's timeline to go public.
Airbnb has widely been expected to file its IPO in 2019, but last month its co-founder, Nathan Blecharczyk, told Business Insider that it was not decided if the company would go public this year.
