StubHub Plunges 24% After First Post-IPO Earnings as Company Withholds Near-Term Guidance

Executives cited shifting ticket on-sale timing, with a 2026 outlook slated for the fourth-quarter report.

Overview

  • Third-quarter revenue reached $468.1 million, topping the $452 million LSEG consensus.
  • Gross merchandise sales were $2.43 billion, up 11% year over year and 24% excluding the Taylor Swift Eras Tour impact.
  • GAAP net loss totaled $1.33 billion, or $4.27 per share, driven by a one-time $1.4 billion stock-based compensation charge tied to the September IPO.
  • Shares fell about 24% on Friday trading and remain well below the $23.50 IPO price after the company raised $800 million in its debut.
  • Wedbush called the lack of guidance surprising and warned that limited near-term visibility could pressure the stock, while keeping an outperform rating.
