Shares of online marketplace Etsy (NASDAQ:ETSY)
fell 8.8% in the afternoon session after its third-quarter earnings report revealed a drop in active buyers and a weak forecast for the fourth quarter. The company posted revenue of $678 million and GAAP earnings per share of $0.63, both surpassing expectations. However, investors focused on troubling trends, as the number of active buyers fell 3.7% year-over-year to 93.16 million. The key driver for the stock's decline was the company's disappointing guidance. Etsy projected an EBITDA margin of 24% for its fourth quarter, well below analysts’ expectations of 27%. This weaker outlook on future profitability appeared to overshadow the third-quarter beat, sending shares lower as investors weighed the company's near-term challenges.
