Gaia Q2 Revenue Misses, Loss Widens; Shares Plunge 19%
GAIA is trading near its 52-week low of $1.815 (15% below the low).
Summary
Gaia's Q2 revenue fell 5% to $23.33M, missing the $24.60M consensus, while net loss widened to $3.0M from $1.8M a year ago. The company blamed a shift toward higher-ARPU direct members and increased advertising costs, which also pressured cash flow. Shares dropped 19% after hours, adding to a year that has seen the stock trade near 52-week lows. Management aims to return to positive free cash flow by Q4, but the near-term outlook remains challenged by marketing spend and renewal seasonality. This follows a Q1 where revenue growth had already decelerated to 2%.
At the time of this announcement, GAIA was trading at $1.55 on NASDAQ in the Trade & Services sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $48.1M.
