Match Group surges on Q2 revenue beat and better-than-expected sales outlook

Match Group rose 10% in after-hours trading after it reported revenue that beat analysts’ estimates and told Wall Street to expect more of the same in Q3.

The company, which owns dating apps including Tinder and Hinge, reported diluted earnings per share of $0.49, in line with analyst expectations. It reported revenue of $864 million, flat year over year but more than the $854.1 million analysts expected.

Match also said it expects third-quarter revenue to hit between $910 million and $920 million, which is higher than the $890.3 million analysts are currently penciling in. The company, which has said it plans to leverage AI to woo younger users, also announced it would spent $50 million in product development.

SpaceX gets a wave of bullish ratings from Wall Street analysts

SpaceX received more than a dozen positive analyst calls on Tuesday — including from major Wall Street banks — as they initiate coverage on Elon Musk’s space and AI company.

SpaceX went public on June 12 at a $2.2 trillion valuation, the largest debut in history. While the company hasn’t yet posted a profit, it seems to have convinced Wall Street that it will get there and grow its valuation on the way.

Of the at least 17 analysts that gave a rating on Tuesday, all but one gave it a “buy” or “outperform” rating. MoffettNathanson was "neutral."

The ratings come as SpaceX joined the Nasdaq 100 index, a benchmark tech-heavy basket of companies that underpins millions of portfolios. The inclusion adds built-in demand for the stock from index funds and ETFs.

Still, SpaceX fell more than 5% on Tuesday amid a broader sell-off, and is currently effectively flat from its opening price of $150 a share.
