Similarweb Shares Plunge to Record Low After Earnings Miss

Similarweb shares cratered more than 30% to a 52-week low on Thursday after the digital intelligence firm reported a wider-than-expected fourth-quarter loss and issued disappointing revenue guidance. The sell-off reflects investor anxiety as the company struggles with decelerating growth and weakening retention rates among its largest clients.

Similarweb Shares Plunge to Record Low After Earnings Miss

The stock fell 31% to $2.71 after touching a session low of $2.63, marking a 73% decline over the past 12 months. The data and analytics provider reported a quarterly loss of $7.5 million, or 9 cents per share, a significant expansion from the $5.4 million loss recorded during the same period last year. The results missed the mark for Wall Street analysts polled by FactSet, who had anticipated a much narrower loss of $2.5 million.

Revenue for the quarter reached $72.8 million, up from $65.6 million year-over-year, but still failed to meet the $76.4 million forecast by analysts. This top-line miss was compounded by a decline in the company’s quarterly net retention rate, which dropped to 98% from 101% in the prior year.

Weakening Retention and Outlook

The report highlighted specific pressure among Similarweb’s most valuable accounts. The dollar-based net retention rate for customers with annual recurring revenue of $100,000 or more fell to 103%, down from 112% in the fourth quarter of the previous year. This metric is a critical indicator of the company's ability to upsell and maintain its core enterprise base.

Looking ahead, management provided a cautious outlook that trailed market expectations. For the first quarter, the company projects revenue between $72 million and $74 million, missing the analyst consensus of $76.4 million. Similarweb also issued a long-term revenue forecast for 2026 of $305 million to $315 million, well below the $319.6 million that analysts had previously estimated.
