Rapid7 Beats Q2 Estimates, Guides In-Line; Cuts 12% of Workforce
RPD has more than doubled off its 52-week low of $4.97.
Summary
Rapid7 delivered a Q2 beat with revenue of $210.88M (vs. $208.25M consensus) and adjusted EPS of $0.44 (vs. $0.35). Revenue still declined 1.5% year-over-year, but the beat is a positive surprise given the recent 10-Q showing declining profits and a looming $600M convertible note maturity. The company also announced a 12% workforce cut to streamline operations, signaling cost discipline. Guidance for Q3 revenue of $208M-$210M and full-year $837M-$841M is roughly in line with expectations. The stock trades at $12.49, well above the median analyst target of $8.00, suggesting the market may be pricing in a turnaround. This follows the June CEO transition and shareholder dissent noted in recent filings.
At the time of this announcement, RPD was trading at $12.49 on NASDAQ in the Technology sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $775.9M. The 52-week trading range was $4.97 to $21.78.
