Shares of Alarum Technologies tumbled after the company forecast third-quarter earnings would be hurt by unfavorable market dynamics.
The stock slid 32% to $14.66 in early-afternoon trading Monday. Shares, which are up 89% since the beginning of the year, have fallen 57% in the last three months.
The Israel company, which provides internet access and web data collection solutions, said in the third quarter it expects revenue of $7 million, plus or minus 3%, and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization between $800,000 and $1 million.
Chief Executive Shachar Daniel said third-quarter earnings would be negatively affected by "market dynamics that some of our customers have been experiencing since June."
In the second quarter, Alarum narrowed its loss to $351,000, or 1 cent a share, from a loss of $7.7 million, or 23 cents a share, a year earlier.
Revenue rose 27% to $8.88 million, boosted by growth of the company's enterprise internet access business.
