Key highlights:
- SECZ stock dropped hard in after-hours trading on Thursday
- This came after the company missed expectations in its first earnings report since going public
- Second-quarter revenue came in at $14.4 million, down 5% year over year
Securitize stock declined by more than 23% in after-hours trading after the firm's second-quarter results fell short of Wall Street's expectations. The shares traded around $6.11, down another 18% from Wednesday's close of $7.86. This was the company's first quarterly report since it became publicly traded last month.
Losses worsen even as Securitize’s activity grows
The firm’s total revenue for the quarter came in at $14.4 million, down 5% from a year earlier. It also fell short of the $20.6 million analysts had expected.
Revenue from the company's tokenization business was $7.8 million, also down 12% from $8.9 million in the second quarter of 2025. The miss reflected on Securitize stock even though other parts of the business saw growth. SECZ stock had initially fallen rapidly from its IPO high before now.
Additionally, Securitize posted a net loss of $21.7 million for the quarter, greater than the $6.1 million loss a year earlier. Adjusted EBITDA also recorded a $5.5 million loss from a $1.8 million profit last year.
On a per-share basis, the loss came in at $2.37, which is way lower than the $0.15 loss analysts had projected.
Positives to take from the report
Activity on the platform actually grew through this period despite the weak financials. Average tokenized assets under management hit a record $4.3 billion, up 16% from a year earlier. Transaction volume also surged 147% to $5.3 billion.
The company's fund-services arm oversaw 663 active funds and $24.3 billion in assets under administration. CEO Carlos Domingo described the quarter as "softer" while pointing to a stronger first half overall.
