Wealthfront Reports $(0.76) Diluted EPS Loss for Fiscal Year, Despite 18% Revenue Growth
Summary
Wealthfront Corporation has filed its annual 10-K, reporting $365 million in revenue, an 18% year-over-year increase, but a diluted EPS loss of $(0.76) and a net loss of $(42.066) million for the fiscal year. This marks a significant reversal from the prior year's profitability. While the company saw strong growth in platform assets and funded clients, increased operating expenses, partly due to IPO-related stock-based compensation, pressured the bottom line. This comprehensive annual report provides the full audited financial picture following a previous 8-K that hinted at mixed Q4 results. The shift to a net loss despite revenue growth is a material concern for investors, who will be watching for management's plans to improve profitability and expense management in future reports.
