ChargePoint Stock Is Selling Off: What's Going On?

ChargePoint Holdings Inc CHPT shares are trading lower Thursday after the company reported worse-than-expected financial results. Analysts are turning incrementally more negative following the print.

What To Know: Chargepoint said second-quarter revenue increased 39% year-over-year to $150.5 million, which missed the consensus estimate of $153.24 million, according to Benzinga Pro. The company reported a quarterly loss of 35 cents per share, which may not compare to estimates.

The company also announced a reorganization of its operations, which includes a 10% workforce reduction, expected to result in annual operating expense savings of $30 million.

"We took an inventory impairment charge to address a significant supply-chain related issue, and we announced an estimated $30 million in annualized operating expense savings from reorganizing the business for agility, efficiency and scale. We remain committed to delivering on our goal of generating positive non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA by the end of calendar 2024," said Pasquale Romano, president and CEO of ChargePoint.

ChargePoint sees third-quarter revenue of $150 million to $165 million. Full-year revenue is expected to be between $605 million and $630 million.
