Stock Track10-30

Shares of NerdWallet Inc. (NRDS) soared over 24% in after-hours trading on Sunday after the personal finance company reported better-than-expected third quarter 2024 results and announced a new share repurchase program.

NerdWallet posted quarterly revenue of $191.3 million, up an impressive 25% year-over-year, driven by strong performance across its insurance, small and mid-sized business (SMB), and emerging verticals like investing. The topline figure handily beat Wall Street's expectations.

On the bottom line, NerdWallet reported break-even earnings per share, compared to analyst forecasts of $0.03 EPS. The company highlighted increased operational efficiency and strength in key business segments as factors behind the robust results.

In the earnings release, NerdWallet also unveiled a new $25 million share repurchase authorization, following the completion of its previous buyback program. The company stated that the new repurchase plan underscores its commitment to enhancing shareholder value.

While NerdWallet announced the resignation of Chief Financial Officer Lauren StClair, effective March 2025, investors seemed to focus more on the company's better-than-anticipated Q3 performance and topline growth drivers. The strong quarterly showing and new buyback plan likely fueled investor optimism, propelling the stock's double-digit surge.
