On August 5, Dave Inc fell 18.63% in after-hours trading, trading at $350.0/share, with turnover of $6.31 million.

On the news front, Dave Inc released its second-quarter earnings report after market close. The consensus estimate called for revenue of $171 million (up 29.51% year-over-year) and adjusted EPS of $3.67 (up 143.76% year-over-year). Ahead of the release, multiple investment banks had aggressively raised price targets — Barrington Research lifted its target from $310 to a $420-$440 range while maintaining an Outperform rating, and UBS raised its target from $300 to $470 with a Buy rating. These upgrades drove the stock to approximately $424 before earnings, fully pricing in optimistic expectations.

The sharp post-market decline indicates that actual results or forward guidance failed to satisfy the lofty expectations already embedded in the stock price. Notably, Dave had beaten estimates in prior quarters — Q1 adjusted EPS of $3.64 topped estimates by 26.83%, and Q4 adjusted EPS of $3.69 beat by 15.6% — setting an increasingly high bar for continued outperformance.
