Why Lemonade Stock Is Dropping This Week
Lemonade (NYSE: LMND) released its second-quarter earnings report on Wednesday after the market closed. Revenue came in at $28.2 million, slightly ahead of Wall Street's expectations. But the company posted a widening net loss of $55.6 million, or $0.90 per diluted share, which sent the stock tumbling after hours.
In fact, shares of Lemonade are now down 7.4% week to date as of 1 p.m. EDT on Friday.
Despite Wall Street's reaction, Lemonade's latest earnings report shows promise. In-force premiums (IFP), the annualized sum of all customer premiums, accelerated for the second consecutive quarter, jumping 91% to $297 million, showing robust demand. And Lemonade's customer count hit 1.2 million, up 48% from the prior year.
