Why Upstart Stock Is Plummeting Today
Key Points Upstart reported its Q2 results and actually beat Wall Street's sales and earnings targets. The lending specialist also raised its full-year revenue target, but the stock is still getting crushed today. Investors are worried about inflation headwinds and competitive risks, but those who are risk tolerant may want to take a close look at the stock. 10 stocks we like better than Upstart › The stock of Upstart Holdings (NASDAQ: UPST) is sinking today following the company's recent earnings report. The fintech specialist's share price was down 18.2% as of 3:05 p.m. ET on Wednesday. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 was up 0.7%, and the Nasdaq Composite was up 1.1%. Upstart released its second-quarter results after the market closed Tuesday and reported sales and earnings for the period that came in significantly ahead of Wall Street's targets. The company also raised its full-year sales outlook, but some cautious commentary from management spurred a big sell-off today. Upstart sinks despite strong Q2 results By most measures, Upstart delivered a strong earnings update with its second-quarter release. The company posted earnings per share of $0.15 on sales of $257 million, crushing the average analyst estimate's calls for a per-share loss of $0.10 on sales of $225.4 million. Loans originated through the company's artificial intelligence (AI) lending platform rose 159% year over year to reach nearly 372,600, and overall revenue was up roughly 101%. Even though the business posted an operating loss of $4.5 million in the period, performance from investments delivered an unexpected profit in the quarter. Management even raised its full-year revenue outlook in conjunction with the report, but the beat-and-raise quarter hasn't been enough to prevent big sell-offs. What's next for Upstart? The company said that inflation continues to be a significant risk factor, and said it was seeing more competitive activity in the business' key service niches. On the other hand, it actually raised its full-year sales performance target to approximately $1.055 billion -- up from its previous guidance for about $1.01 billion. With the stock seeing a big pullback despite a strong second quarter and encouraging performance outlook for the rest of the year, today's trading could present a worthwhile buying opportunity for risk-tolerant investors.

Airbnb forecasts quarterly revenue above estimates; plans $6 billion share buyback
(Reuters) -Vacation rentals company Airbnb forecast third-quarter revenue above Wall Street estimates on Wednesday and announced a new share repurchase program worth $6 billion. Growth of nights booked in the U.S. accelerated each month throughout the quarter ended June, driven by domestic travel, San Francisco-based Airbnb said, adding that it was encouraged by the trend for the current quarter. Several travel firms, like United Airlines and Wyndham Hotels, saw a recovery in U.S. travel demand after a slowdown in April, when consumers initially pulled back spending due to President Donald Trump's shifting trade policy. Airbnb's average daily rates, or the average cost per night, in North America rose 3% in the quarter, driven by strong demand for higher-priced listings. This trend is consistent with other travel companies, including hotel operator Marriott, where bookings for upscale properties and premium offerings helped offset weak demand in the budget segment. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange, ADR in Q2 2025 increased 1% and was up across all regions, largely due to price appreciation, the company said. Nights and seats booked, an updated metric which includes the number of services booked, on Airbnb's platform rose 7% in the second quarter, while gross booking value increased 11% to $23.5 billion. Airbnb expects third quarter revenue between $4.02 billion to $4.10 billion, the midpoint of which is higher than higher than analysts' average estimate of $4.05 billion, according to data compiled by LSEG. However, the company cautioned that despite stronger night bookings in North America, growth could moderate given tougher year-over-year comparisons in the third and fourth quarters. It expects the implied take rate, or the ratio of revenue to gross bookings, to remain flat in the third quarter. The travel company posted a per-share profit of $1.03 compared to 86 cents in the same period last year.
