Read MoreHide Full Article
Green Dot Corporation (GDOT - Free Report) reported mixed second-quarter 2024 results, with earnings missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate but revenues surpassing the same.
The stock has gained 19.8% since the earnings release on Aug 8 due to the raised revenue guidance.
For 2024, GDOT hiked its guidance for total operating revenues to $1.60-$1.70 billion from the $1.58-$1.62 billion provided at the end of the preceding quarter. The mid-point of the guided range ($1.65 billion) is higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.62 billion.
Quarterly earnings per share (excluding 79 cents from non-recurring items) of 25 cents missed the consensus estimate by 10.7% and declined 32.4% from the year-ago quarter. Revenues of $402.6 million beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 8.5% and increased 10% on a year-over-year basis.
The company’s shares have gained 20.4% in the past year, outperforming the 18.8% rally of the industry it belongs to.
B2B Services revenues increased 39.5% from the second quarter of 2024 to $252.1 million. Growth in PayCard channels and other vast partnerships are anticipated to have led to a rise in this segment’s revenues.

The Consumer Services segment’s revenues amounted to $96.6 million, down 25.1% on a year-over-year basis. The impacts of continued headwinds in the retail channel on several active accounts on the company’s platform resulted in this segment’s downfall.
