Shares of ATRenew Inc. (NYSE: RERE), a leading technology-driven pre-owned consumer electronics transactions and services platform in China, plunged over 10% in intraday trading on Monday. The steep sell-off came after the company reported disappointing second-quarter 2024 financial results, with earnings falling significantly short of analyst expectations.
ATRenew reported adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.07 for the quarter, missing the consensus estimate of $0.50 by a wide margin. While the company's revenue of $519.7 million surpassed estimates slightly, it represented a slower year-over-year growth rate of 27.2%, compared to the same period last year.
The weaker-than-expected earnings performance and decelerating revenue growth appear to have dampened investor sentiment, leading to the sharp sell-off. Analysts had anticipated stronger profitability from ATRenew, given the company's expanding presence in the pre-owned electronics market and its growing operational scale.
