Agora, Inc. (NASDAQ: API) saw its stock plummet 5.82% in Tuesday's pre-market trading session, following the release of its second-quarter 2025 financial results. The significant drop comes despite the company reporting its third consecutive quarter of GAAP profitability, as investors appear to be more concerned with the company's stagnant revenue growth and conservative outlook.
For Q2 2025, Agora reported total revenues of $34.259 million, representing a marginal 0.1% increase year-over-year. While the core Agora segment showed promising growth of 16.7%, reaching $18.2 million, this was largely offset by a 12.4% decline in the Shengwang segment. On a positive note, the company achieved a net income of $1.462 million, or $0.01 per ADS, marking a significant improvement in profitability compared to previous quarters.
However, the market's negative reaction seems to stem from Agora's tepid revenue growth and conservative guidance for the third quarter. The company projects Q3 revenues between $34 million and $36 million, suggesting continued sluggish growth. Additionally, a dollar-based net retention rate of 97% indicates challenges in expanding revenue from existing customers. Despite positive developments such as the launch of an upgraded Conversational AI Engine and improved cash flow metrics, investors appear to be focusing on the company's struggle to accelerate top-line growth, leading to the sharp stock decline.
