CVR Energy Inc's stock plunged 7.71% in the after-hours session following the release of its first-quarter financial results, which significantly missed analyst expectations on profitability.
The company reported an adjusted loss per share of USD 1.24 for the quarter, far worse than the IBES estimate of a USD 0.40 loss. Furthermore, CVR Energy posted a net loss of USD 160 million for the period.
While the company's quarterly sales of USD 1,980 million surpassed the estimated USD 1,695 million, the substantial earnings miss and reported net loss appear to be the primary drivers behind the sharp negative reaction from investors after the market close.
