ThredUp soars on Q2 earnings beat and record quarterly revenue

ThredUp surged 8% in after-hours trading Monday after the online resale platform posted stellar Q2 earnings results.

Losses per share came in at $0.04, slightly ahead of the $0.05 loss analysts polled by FactSet were expecting. Revenue came in at a quarterly record of $77.7 million, up 16% from a year ago and well ahead of Street estimates of $73.8 million and the the company’s previous guidance of $72.5 million to $74.5 million.

The stock has soared over 500% in the past 12 months, buoyed largely by growing millennial and Gen Z demand for secondhand apparel and broader retail interest in sustainable fashion.

In an interview with Sherwood News, CEO James Reinhart said the company has benefited from being “laser-focused” on the US market and leveraging AI both under the hood and in customer-facing features.

Prior to the earnings move, ThredUp shares were up 586% year to date.

Retail traders are “skipping the dip” this time

Here’s one noteworthy feature of the recent market downturn that has the S&P 500 poised for its worst week since reciprocal tariffs were announced in early April: retail traders seemingly aren’t eager to buy the weakness in single stocks the way they used to be.

JPMorgan strategist Arun Jain has flagged that retail traders instead appear to be “skipping the dip.”

“In contrast to the behavior observed during the post-Liberation Day selloff, retail investors did not seize the opportunity to buy-the-dip on Tuesday, with a few exceptions such as META,” he wrote of the day where the benchmark US stock index fell 1.2%. “In fact, they scaled back their ETF purchases and turned net sellers in single stocks.”

Then on Thursday, when the S&P 500 fell 1.1%, Jain projected that retail traders sold $261 million in single stocks. Through noon ET on Friday, his daily outflow estimate stands at $851 million.

With that intel, it’s little wonder why the carnage this week has been particularly intense in more speculative single stocks that had been favored by the retail community, including IREN, IonQ, Rigetti, Cipher Mining, Bloom Energy, and Oklo.

Archer Aviation plunges on $650 million share sale following its third-quarter results

Air taxi maker Archer Aviation is deep in the red on Friday morning after reporting its third-quarter results after the bell Thursday. The stock is down more than 12%.

Investors don’t appear to be thrilled about the company’s $650 million direct stock offering, announced alongside its results.

The move marks at least the third major equity raise, and dilution, for Archer this year. The company raised $300 million from a new stock sale in February, and sold $850 million worth of shares in June.

On Archer’s earnings call Thursday, interim CFO Priya Gupta said the company came to the decision after “substantial inbound interest.” According to Gupta, the company has heard from government and commercial partners that liquidity is a “key driver to their decisions of who to partner with.” With its latest share sale, Archer said its total liquidity is more than $2 billion.
