On August 5, Freshworks fell 8.55% in after-hours trading, trading at approximately $10.84/share, with turnover of $978,900. The decline was triggered by the release of the company's second quarter financial results.
The sell-off follows a pattern of post-earnings weakness for Freshworks. The company previously declined 7.1% after hours following its Q4 earnings report, where revenue beat expectations but full-year guidance came in below market consensus. In Q1, EPS of $0.11 also missed the consensus estimate of $0.12. This repeated underperformance relative to expectations has weighed on investor sentiment around earnings events.
Earlier in July, Guggenheim initiated coverage of Freshworks with a Buy rating and a $25 price target, well above the analyst consensus mean target of $12.77. Meanwhile, Morgan Stanley had cut its price target to $13 from $15 in May while maintaining an Equalweight rating. The company also recently appointed Ryan Manning as Chief Product and Technology Officer, consolidating product and technology strategy under one executive as it expands in the mid-market segment.
