Shares of AvidXchange Holdings fell to a more than two-year low after the company's 2025 outlook underwhelmed investors.
The stock was trading 18% lower, at $7.46, in midday trading Wednesday, marking a slight rebound from its low of $6.96 earlier in the day. Shares are down 41% in the past year.
Before the bell, the Charlotte, N.C., payments company forecast adjusted per-share earnings of 25 cents to 27 cents for the year, missing analyst views for 34 cents, according to FactSet.
The company also guided for revenue of $453 million to $460 million, below the $483.2 million that analysts modeled.
Chief Executive Michael Praeger said he anticipates continued macroeconomic challenges to hurt revenue in 2025.
For the fourth quarter, AvidXchange reported a profit of $4.7 million, or two cents a share, compared with a loss of $4.5 million, or two cents a share, a year earlier.
Adjusted earnings came in at eight cents a share. Analysts surveyed by FactSet modeled adjusted earnings of seven cents a share.
Revenue increased 11% to $115.4 million, just ahead of the $114.9 million that analysts expected.
