Shares of Couchbase, Inc. (BASE) plummeted 17.85% in mid-day trading on Wednesday, following a slew of negative developments that raised concerns about the company's growth prospects and financial performance.
The steep sell-off was triggered by a report from Goldman Sachs analyst Kash Rangan, who reiterated a 'Sell' rating on Couchbase's stock. Rangan cited concerns over revenue growth deceleration and customer churn, highlighting indications of increasing customer attrition that could further impact the company's financial performance.
Adding to the negative sentiment, Couchbase reported worse-than-expected second-quarter earnings per share (EPS) results, missing analyst consensus estimates. While the company's revenue surpassed expectations, the disappointing EPS performance raised doubts about its ability to deliver sustained profitability.
