GigaCloud Technology Inc (NASDAQ: GCT) stock plunged 12.55% in the night session on Tuesday, underperforming the broader market.
The El Monte, California-based tech company reported its fourth-quarter 2024 earnings after the closing bell. For the quarter ended December 31, 2024, GigaCloud Technology posted adjusted earnings of $0.75 per diluted share, down from $1.07 a year earlier and missing the consensus estimate of $0.89. Revenue grew 20.9% year-over-year to $295.8 million, beating analysts' expectations of $288.3 million.
However, the company provided disappointing guidance for the first quarter of 2025. GigaCloud Technology expects revenue to be in the range of $250 million to $265 million, falling short of the consensus estimate of $281.4 million. This weaker-than-expected outlook appears to be the primary factor weighing on the stock.
Additionally, GigaCloud Technology's gross margin declined to 22% in Q4 2024, down from 28.5% in the year-ago quarter, potentially raising concerns about profitability pressure. The company also announced the appointment of Erica Wei as the new Chief Financial Officer, replacing the interim CFO.
