Shares of Porch Group, Inc. (PRCH) plummeted 17.92% in a 24-hour period, following the company's third-quarter earnings release. The sharp decline came despite Porch Group reporting better-than-expected revenue and adjusted EBITDA for Q3 2025.
For the third quarter, Porch Group reported revenue of $115.1 million, surpassing the analyst estimate of $111.2 million. The company's adjusted EBITDA came in at $20.6 million, significantly higher than the estimated $16.7 million. However, investors appeared to focus on the company's net loss of $10.9 million for the quarter, which likely contributed to the negative market reaction.
The substantial sell-off suggests that market participants are prioritizing bottom-line results over revenue growth and adjusted EBITDA improvements. Despite the strong top-line performance, concerns about profitability seem to be overshadowing the positive aspects of the earnings report. The company ended the quarter with a cash and investments position of $132.1 million, which could provide some reassurance about Porch Group's financial stability amidst ongoing losses. However, this was not enough to prevent the significant stock price decline in the wake of the earnings announcement.
