Alright, settle in, folks! ACV Auctions ([ACVA 14.26%]) just took a tumble – a 15.1% drop as of this morning. Fifteen point one percent! That’s like… losing a whole fleet of slightly used Yugos. They reported earnings last night, and let’s just say the numbers were less “ha-ha” and more “oh no.”
The analysts, those brilliant seers of the financial world, predicted a loss of a penny a share on $182 million in sales. ACV? They managed $183.6 million! A win! A glorious, fleeting win! But then… they lost 11 cents a share. Eleven! It’s like they were trying to disappoint Wall Street. Honestly, it’s almost impressive.
ACV Q4 Earnings: Or, The Ballad of the Slightly-Less-Bad Loss
Now, don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t all doom and gloom. Sales were up 15% year-over-year. Nineteen percent for the whole year! They’re growing, folks! They’re just… growing down a very steep hill. And here’s the kicker: they lost less money than last year. Think of it as a financial diet. Still hungry, but slightly less so. Q4 2025 losses? A mere 11 cents a share, compared to 16 cents last year. The full year? 39 cents versus 48. See? Progress! Slow, agonizing, money-losing progress. But progress nonetheless! I’m starting to feel a little… optimistic. No, wait. That’s indigestion.
Is ACV Stock a Buy? A Question for the Ages (and Your Accountant)
Their CEO, George Chamoun, is calling it a “very pleased” quarter. “Very pleased!” The man’s a comedian, I tell ya! He’s talking about margin expansion and market share gains. All fine and good. But let’s be real. He’s also predicting continued losses. It’s like saying, “I’m thrilled with my new leaky boat! It’s expanding my nautical experience!”
They’re guiding toward $200 million or more in Q1 sales and $845 million for the year. Sounds promising, right? Except they also expect to lose at least 7 cents a share next quarter and 29 cents for the year. Twenty-nine cents! At this rate, they’ll be paying us to hold the stock. Look, I’m not saying it’s a terrible company. I’m just saying that unless you’re a masochist with a penchant for red ink, calling ACV stock a buy “anytime soon” is… optimistic. Very optimistic. Like, “winning the lottery while being struck by lightning” optimistic.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go check my portfolio. And maybe invest in a good umbrella.
