Stitch Fix experienced a significant drop in share price after reporting a larger-than-expected quarterly loss.

Revenue for the quarter declined year-over-year, though it slightly exceeded market expectations.

The company's weak future guidance indicates further revenue declines, with a goal to return to growth by the end of fiscal 2026.

Stitch Fix Inc. faced a sharp decline in its share price, falling over 35% after reporting a larger-than-expected loss for the fourth quarter. The personal styling company, part of the retail sector, announced a substantial net loss, resulting in a loss per share that exceeded expert expectations.

For the quarter, Stitch Fix (NASDAQ: SFIX) recorded revenue that reflected a year-over-year decrease of 12.4%. However, this figure slightly surpassed market expectations.

Adding to the negative sentiment, the company's guidance for future quarters appeared weak. For the first quarter of fiscal 2025, Stitch Fix anticipates revenue to range between two benchmarks, indicating a decline of 15% to 17% compared to the same quarter last year and falling short of the forecasted revenue.

Looking at the full year, projected revenue is estimated to fall within a certain range, representing a decline of 12% to 16% and also below market expectations.

In a statement, Stitch Fix CEO Matt Baer acknowledged the challenges ahead, emphasizing the company's goal to return to revenue growth by the end of fiscal 2026. He expressed pride in the team’s efforts over the past year and highlighted progress made to strengthen the company’s foundation and improve the client experience.

As a result of these developments, Stitch Fix shares were trading down approximately 35.7% late Wednesday morning.
