Read MoreHide Full Article
Overstock.com reported first-quarter 2023 loss of 10 cents per share, which was narrower than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 16 cents per share and declined 147.6% year over year.
Revenues of $381.1 million decreased 28.9% year over year. The top line lagged the consensus mark by 6.32%.

Active customers reached 4.795 million at the end of the first quarter of 2023, down 35.1% year over year.
