Ibotta delivered Q2 revenue of $88.9 million, beating the high end of its own guidance and returning to year-over-year growth after a flat Q1. Adjusted EBITDA of $16.5 million also exceeded expectations, though the company posted a small GAAP net loss. The results confirm the business is stabilizing after a rocky start to 2026, but the stock remains under pressure from heavy insider selling and a large warrant overhang. The dismissal of the securities class action removes a legal cloud, while the continued aggressive share buyback signals management confidence.
