GitLab Inc. (GTLB) shares plummeted 8.49% in pre-market trading following a mixed third-quarter earnings report, a surprise GAAP loss, and the announcement of a new CFO.
The company reported a GAAP loss of $8.3 million, swinging from a profit of $29.1 million a year earlier, despite revenue rising 25% to $244.4 million. Adjusted earnings beat estimates, but investors focused on the unexpected loss and margin pressures. GitLab also announced Jessica Ross as its new CFO, effective January 2026, adding to transitional uncertainty.
Analysts at Raymond James and Barclays cut their target prices, citing concerns over profitability. Raymond James reduced its target to $50 from $55, while Barclays lowered its target to $42 from $44. The pre-market drop extends a 6.1% decline in post-market trading after the earnings release.
