On August 5, Zeta Global Holdings Corp. declined 5.28% overnight, trading at $22.95/share, with turnover of $4,385.31.
The decline followed the company's Q2 earnings release after market close. Revenue came in at $442.8 million, beating the analyst consensus of $420.6 million and representing a 43.6% year-over-year increase from $308.4 million. GAAP EPS of $0.03 also topped the breakeven estimate, as the company swung to net income of $8.17 million from a loss of $12.8 million a year earlier. However, EPS declined 78.57% compared to $0.14 per share in the prior-year period, raising concerns about earnings quality.
Zeta raised its full-year guidance to revenue of $1.811 billion to $1.824 billion, up $33 million at the midpoint from prior projections, and boosted GAAP EPS outlook to $0.09-$0.11 from $0.02-$0.04 previously. Q3 revenue guidance of $469 million to $472 million also exceeded the $461 million analyst estimate. Despite the across-the-board beats and raised outlook, significant profit-taking pressure emerged following the stock's 5.49% rally heading into the report.
