Overstock.com's (OSTK) Q2 Earnings Beat, Revenues Fall Y/Y
Read MoreHide Full Article
Overstock.com reported second-quarter 2023 loss of 2 cents per share, which was narrower than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 9 cents per share. It was also narrower than the year-ago loss by 110.5%.
Revenues of $422.2 million decreased 20.1% year over year. However, the top line beat the consensus mark by 3.77%.
Revenues were hit by contraction in demand in the real estate sector. The combination of lower consumer engagement and a weak housing market created constant pressure on the top line in the reported quarter.
Active customers reached 4.621 million at the end of the second quarter of 2023, down 28.8% year over year.
The number of active customers declined due to a fall in home related spending, change in spending preference and the company’s strategy to shift completely online.
The average order value was $234 in the reported quarter, declining 5.3% year over year. Orders delivered were 1.803 million, down 15.7% year over year.
