Similarweb reported adjusted earnings of $0.01 per share for Q2, significantly outperforming the analyst consensus estimate of a $0.01 loss.

Notably, AI-related revenues accounted for nearly 8% of Q2 revenues, contributing significantly to the company's growth. Furthermore, Similarweb raised its fiscal year 2025 adjusted operating profit guidance to a range of $5 million to $7 million, up from the previous forecast of $1 million to $4 million, signaling management's confidence in the company's future performance. The positive earnings surprise and optimistic outlook have reignited investor enthusiasm, propelling the stock to its substantial intraday gain.
