Shares of Mirion Technologies Inc (MIR) plunged 6.06% in intraday trading on Wednesday, despite the company reporting better-than-expected earnings for the second quarter of 2024. The stock's decline came as a surprise, given that the company's adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.10 surpassed analysts' consensus estimate of $0.08.
While Mirion Technologies beat earnings expectations, the company's revenue for the quarter fell short of Wall Street's projections. The company reported revenue of $207.1 million, missing analysts' average estimate of $210.77 million. This revenue miss could have contributed to the stock's sell-off, as investors may have been disappointed with the company's top-line performance.
Additionally, Mirion Technologies reported a quarterly net loss of $11.7 million, which could have further weighed on investor sentiment. Despite the earnings beat, the reported loss may have raised concerns about the company's profitability and long-term growth prospects.
