AppFolio shares fell 6.55% to $203.11 on Wednesday, driven by a slowdown in unit expansion from existing customers despite strong revenue growth. The stock gapped down at the open and continued to slide through the morning session, closing near its intraday lows.
What Happened
AppFolio reported third-quarter 2026 results that beat estimates, with adjusted earnings per share of $1.82 versus a $1.79 consensus and sales of $295.691 million against a $294.414 million estimate. Revenue grew 19% year over year. However, management noted that unit expansion from existing customers slowed. The company raised its full-year 2026 revenue guidance to $1.122 billion to $1.127 billion from a previous range of $1.117 billion to $1.127 billion. It also guided for a 26.5% to 27.5% non-GAAP operating margin.
Analyst reactions were mixed. UBS raised its price target to $240 from $220, while Guggenheim lifted its target to $239 from $232, citing steady growth. KeyBanc reiterated its rating, noting steady execution.
