Investors are reeling as Jumia Technologies (NYSE: JMIA) stock takes a nosedive following the release of its Q2 2024 earnings report.
The report paints a grim picture with revenue coming in at $36.5 million, falling short of Wall Street’s $41.7 million estimate and marking a 17% year-over-year (YOY) decrease from $44 million.
The decline is attributed to a 10% drop in marketplace revenue to $20 million and a 24% YOY decrease in First-Party sales revenue to $16.1 million.
Despite the disappointing results, Jumia CEO Francis Dufay remains optimistic about the company’s future.
