Shares of Clarivate Plc (CLVT) plummeted 5.08% in intraday trading on Wednesday following the release of its second-quarter 2025 financial results and reaffirmed full-year guidance. The global provider of transformative intelligence reported mixed results, with revenue declining but bottom-line improvements.
For the second quarter, Clarivate reported total revenues of $621.4 million, a 4.4% decrease from $650.3 million in the same quarter last year. The company attributed this decline to inorganic divestitures and disposals. However, organic revenues showed a slight increase of 0.5% year-over-year. Adjusted earnings per share came in at $0.18, down from $0.20 in the prior-year quarter but meeting analysts' expectations. Despite the revenue decline, Clarivate significantly narrowed its net loss to $72.0 million, a substantial improvement from the $304.3 million loss reported in Q2 2024.
Clarivate reaffirmed its full-year 2025 outlook, projecting revenues between $2.28 billion and $2.40 billion, and adjusted earnings per share in the range of $0.60 to $0.70. While this guidance aligns with analysts' estimates, investors may have been looking for more robust growth prospects, contributing to the stock's sharp decline. The company also announced the appointment of Maroun S. Mourad as the new President of its Intellectual Property segment, effective September 8, 2025, succeeding the retiring Gordon Samson.
