On August 5, Match declined 6.43% in regular trading, trading at $37.35 per share, with turnover of $10.659 million.
The decline was triggered by the company's Q2 earnings report, which showed revenue of $853.1 million, falling short of the analyst consensus estimate of $856.8 million and declining 1.2% year-over-year. While EPS of $0.70 beat the $0.65 estimate by 7.69%, it failed to offset growth concerns. More critically, Q3 revenue guidance of $885-$895 million came in with a midpoint below the Street's $892.7 million expectation.
Management further disclosed that its E&E business direct revenue is projected to decline by a mid-to-high teens percentage for the full fiscal year. Additionally, ongoing Tinder user experience testing and product adjustments are expected to negatively impact full-year direct revenue by $30 to $40 million. Despite some positive signals including Tinder daily active user declines narrowing to 4% and Hinge monthly actives growing 13%, these improvements were overshadowed by the weak financial outlook, intensifying selling pressure.
