On September 8, ServiceTitan fell 5.39% in after-hours trading, trading at $70.65 per share, with turnover of $17.4 million. The stock had already declined 5.25% during the regular session amid cautious sentiment ahead of the earnings release, and extended losses after the company published its fiscal second-quarter results (ending July) post-market close.
Market consensus had expected Q2 EPS of -$0.09, a sharp retreat from the prior quarter's adjusted EPS of $0.37, which had beaten estimates by over 37%. The first fiscal quarter delivered revenue of $268.8 million, a 25% year-over-year increase, with adjusted operating margin improving from 7.5% to 15.2%. The company had also raised its full-year revenue guidance to $1.13 billion–$1.14 billion, above the then-consensus estimate of $1.12 billion. Multiple institutions, including Morgan Stanley and Truist Securities, had maintained bullish ratings with target prices of $124 and $110 respectively. Despite the constructive analyst backdrop, the significant quarter-over-quarter earnings deceleration in consensus expectations and broader weakness across the Application Software sector weighed on investor confidence heading into the print.
