The company's adjusted net loss per American depositary share of $0.04 matched analysts' consensus estimate for the second quarter. So why did investors drive Tuya's stock price down today?
Investors were likely disappointed with the fact that the revenue outlook for the third quarter set by Tuya's management was between $83 million and $86 million, which is far below analysts' consensus estimate of $93.4 million for the quarter.
