Shares of PureCycle Technologies Inc. (PCT) plummeted over 5% on November 7th after the recycling company reported disappointing third quarter earnings and failed to provide detailed financial projections going forward.
For the third quarter of 2024, PureCycle reported a net loss of $0.29 per share, significantly worse than the $0.20 loss per share analysts were expecting. The wider-than-anticipated net loss appears to be the primary driver behind the sharp stock sell-off.
While PureCycle provided an optimistic operational update, highlighting progress at its Ironton recycling facility and growing commercial interest, the lack of specific financial guidance and a clear path to profitability likely raised concerns among investors. CEO Dustin Olson stated that meaningful sales are expected in 2025, but did not quantify projections.
