Why Fiverr International Stock Soared This Week
Shares of Fiverr International (NYSE: FVRR) soared as much as 39% this week, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. The global online marketplace for freelance services posted better-than-expected earnings for the third quarter. As of 12:04 p.m. ET on Friday, Nov. 11, shares are up 35.9% this week.
On Nov. 9, Fiverr reported earnings for the three months ending in September. Revenue grew 11% year over year to $82.5 million and adjusted earnings per share (EPS) came in at $0.21. This revenue number exceeded analyst expectations by 1.7% while the adjusted EPS beat by 28%, which is a key reason why shares are up this week.
