AeroVironment (AVAV) stock plunged 18.09% in the after-hours session on Tuesday following a disappointing fiscal third quarter 2025 earnings report and weaker than expected full-year guidance.
For the quarter ended January 25, 2025, the company reported revenue of $167.6 million, down 10% year-over-year and missing analysts' estimates of $196.4 million. Adjusted earnings per share of $0.30 also widely missed expectations of $0.63.
AeroVironment cited short-term operational challenges like high winds and fires in Southern California that impacted its ability to meet quarterly goals. However, the company still expects a record fourth quarter revenue despite pivoting away from demand related to the conflict in Ukraine.
More concerningly, AeroVironment provided underwhelming guidance for fiscal 2025. The company now expects full-year revenue between $780 million and $795 million, compared to analysts' consensus of $819 million. Adjusted earnings per share is projected in the range of $2.92 to $3.13, well below the $3.43 estimate.
The weaker than anticipated outlook appeared to drive the sharp sell-off in AeroVironment shares in after-hours trading, as investors grew worried about the company's growth prospects amidst economic headwinds and geopolitical uncertainties.
