Wealthfront shares slipped after the company recorded a smaller profit in the first quarter from a mix of mild revenue growth against big cost hikes.
The stock was down 9.3% at $10.43 after hours. Shares had already fallen 15% year-to-date when the market closed.
The robo-adviser posted a first-quarter profit of $12.8 million, or 7 cents a share. That's down from $25.9 million, or 18 cents a share, and missed analyst projections for a profit of $14.7 million and earnings of 12 cents a share, according to FactSet.
Revenue climbed 7% to $90.5 million, but missed the $91.8 million expected by analysts, according to FactSet.
Costs, meanwhile, climbed 46% mostly from big jumps in expenses for product development as well as general and administrative costs.
