KeyBanc downgraded Farfetch (NYSE:FTCH) to Sector Weight from Overweight following disappointing Q2 earnings, which resulted in more than a 37% stock price drop pre-market today.

Q2 revenue came in at $579.35 million (down 1.3% year-over-year), missing the consensus estimate of $648.27M. Meanwhile, EPS was ($0.21), compared to the consensus of ($0.28). For the full 2023 year, the company expects revenue of $2.5 billion, worse than the consensus estimate of $2.8B.

According to KeyBanc, the rating change is based on decreased confidence in execution and the timeline to profitability. Factors such as macroeconomic challenges and a decline in Brand Platform GMV by 42% year-over-year had a negative impact on the quarter’s results. Additionally, softened expectations for Reebok’s performance, as well as year-over-year declines in the U.S. and China, increase the risk of achieving profitability in fiscal 2023.
