On August 5, Chime Financial, Inc. rose 6.59% in after-hours trading, trading at $27.75/share, with turnover of $1.7759 million.
The movement was primarily driven by the company's Q2 earnings release after market close, combined with recent cost-reduction measures. Market consensus had projected revenue growth of approximately 21.3% year-over-year to $640 million, with expected EPS of -$0.01, representing a significant narrowing of losses compared to prior quarters and confirming a clear profitability improvement trend.
Additionally, the company announced on July 31 a workforce reduction of approximately 150 employees, representing roughly 10% of total headcount. CEO Chris Britt stated in an internal memo that the move aims to adapt to operational efficiency gains brought by AI, building a flatter organizational structure and a leaner team. Multiple institutions have assigned buy ratings with an average target price of approximately $30, implying roughly 14% upside from pre-earnings levels, and post-earnings market reaction has been positive.
