Clear Secure News: Why Biometric Bet YOU Stock Is Up 25% Today
Investors in identity verification technology company Clear Secure (NYSE: YOU ) are certainly seeing plenty of green on the screen today. Indeed, shares of YOU stock are surging more than 25% at the time of this writing after the company reported second-quarter earnings which beat on both the top and the bottom line. Clear Secure brought in EPS of 34 cents during the quarter, handily beating consensus expectations of only 26 cents per share. Importantly, this key metric more than doubled on a year-over-year (YOY) basis, with Clear Secure only bringing in 15 cents during the same quarter a year prior. On the top line, the company also beat revenue estimates, albeit by a smaller margin. That said, revenue of $186.8 million was materially higher than the less than $150 million the company reported for the same quarter last year. Accordingly, there’s some strong top-line growth to consider with this company as well today. The cherry on top was an announced expansion of the company’s share repurchase program by $100 million this past quarter.
