Shares of Porch Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: PRCH) skyrocketed 22.24% in trading on Wednesday, following the company's impressive first-quarter 2025 financial results released after market close on Tuesday. The home services platform provider significantly outperformed analyst expectations, demonstrating strong growth and improved profitability.
Porch Group reported quarterly earnings of $0.08 per share, dramatically beating the analyst consensus estimate of a $0.12 loss.

Revenue for the quarter came in at $104.75 million, surpassing the analyst estimate of $79.44 million by 31.86%.
