XP Inc. (NASDAQ:XP) stock plunged by 5.22% in the after-hours trading session on Tuesday, following the company's third-quarter earnings release. The Brazilian financial services firm missed analysts' expectations for earnings per share (EPS) and revenue, despite reporting year-over-year growth in key financial metrics.
According to XP's Q3 results, the company reported a fully diluted EPS of R$2.18 (approximately $0.39), missing the consensus estimate of $0.40 by 1.75%. Additionally, XP's gross revenue of R$4.5 billion (approximately $778.58 million) fell short of the analysts' estimate of $772.20 million, although it represented a 4% year-over-year increase.
While XP reported strong growth in its retail customer base, the company's institutional client segment showed weakness during the quarter. This performance, coupled with the earnings and revenue misses, appears to have led to the after-hours sell-off in XP's stock.
