MarketWise Q2 Revenue Misses, Swings to Loss Despite 57% Billings Surge
MKTW sits 47% above its 52-week low of $13.49.
Summary
MarketWise's final Q2 results show billings jumped 57% to $91.2M, but revenue missed consensus by $2.9M and the company swung to a $2.6M net loss. Heavy marketing spend drove customer acquisition but crushed margins, and cash reserves fell to $32.9M. Management is now pivoting—slowing acquisition spend in H2 to focus on cash generation and margin improvement, guiding for $50M in full-year operating cash flow. The company also reported Q2 CFFO of $22.4 million, net revenue of $75.8 million, and raised FY 2026 billings guidance 10% to $330 million while affirming a dividend target of $1.80 per share to Class A shareholders.
