Why Fiverr (FVRR) Shares Are Getting Obliterated Today
Shares of online freelance marketplace Fiverr (NYSE:FVRR) fell 11.8% in the morning session after the company reported second-quarter results that revealed a significant drop in active buyers and provided a weaker-than-expected outlook.
Although the online freelance marketplace surpassed revenue expectations for the quarter, investors focused on more concerning trends. The number of active buyers, a key indicator of platform health, fell by 10.9% compared to the same period last year, dropping to 3.4 million. This decline in users overshadowed a 9.8% increase in spending per buyer. Furthermore, the company's guidance for the upcoming third quarter and its full-year EBITDA forecast both came in below analysts' projections. The combination of a shrinking user base and a cautious outlook for future earnings appeared to raise concerns about the company's growth trajectory.

What Is The Market Telling Us
Fiverr's shares are very volatile and have had 21 moves greater than 5% over the last year. But moves this big are rare even for Fiverr and indicate this news significantly impacted the market's perception of the business.
The biggest move we wrote about over the last year was 9 months ago when the stock gained 24.3% on the news that the company reported a "beat and raise" quarter. Third-quarter earnings beat analysts' revenue, EBITDA, and EPS expectations. Efforts to improve value-added services paid off as take rate improved and the average spend per buyer rose 9% from the prior year. Notably, Fiverr introduced an AI-powered matching tool for buyers with complex job requirements. As a result, the number of buyers spending over $10K on Fiverr also increased. Given these improvements, the company was able to comfortably raise full-year revenue and EBITDA guidance, which put the business on track to meet and perhaps exceed the three-year targets on Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow provided in the previous quarter. Holding aside expectations, its number of buyers declined, which is a negative. Overall, though, this quarter was solid.
Fiverr is down 30.9% since the beginning of the year, and at $22.13 per share, it is trading 37.6% below its 52-week high of $35.45 from December 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Fiverr's shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $241.68.
Unless you've been living under a rock, it should be obvious by now that generative AI is going to have a huge impact on how large corporations do business.

NVO: Novo Nordisk Stock Climbs After Major FDA Approval
Aug 1 - Novo Nordisk (NYSE:NVO) gained nearly 3% in Friday morning trading after the company secured expanded U.S. approval for its Alhemo injection. The therapy can now help prevent or reduce bleeding episodes in adults and children 12 and older with hemophilia A or B. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 1 Warning Sign with NVO. Previously, Alhemo was only authorized for patients with hemophilia A or B who developed inhibitors. The new decision from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration followed a late?stage clinical trial that demonstrated the drug's safety and ability to lower bleeding risk in a broader patient group. Analysts say this approval could significantly expand Alhemo's market potential. The hemophilia space is becoming increasingly competitive with gene therapies and new clotting factor treatments, but Novo Nordisk's broader label should reinforce its rare disease portfolio. The company expects Alhemo to contribute to revenue growth in the second half of 2025 as more patients gain access. Investors will watch whether this momentum continues into upcoming quarters as the therapy reaches a larger base of hemophilia patients. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA) Could Be In Great Shape In China, Says Jim Cramer
We recently published . NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer recently discussed. NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) has started to become a regular feature on Cramer's morning show as it solidifies its position as the world's most valuable company. In his earlier remarks about the firm, the CNBC TV host has praised the firm's CEO, Jensen Huang, and his success in convincing the Trump administration to lift GPU sales restrictions on China. Once the restrictions were lifted, the market started speculating whether NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) could meet Chinese demand. Cramer discussed this issue in the context of EDA provider Cadence's recent results: 'By the way, Cadence, that is, when people look at Cadence, the number one partner is NVIDIA. Now NVIDIA also has the story out there, but not confirmed by me, that there's, the H20 orders from China are huge. There had been some talk that maybe they wouldn't be. Cadence is a fantastic company. And I think that that was the sign that NVIDIA is in great shape in China. NVIDIA's doing so well, what are you going to do? It just keeps, it's just relentless.' Here's what he said earlier about NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA): 'Okay, I'm getting a lot of pushback for my like of Jensen Huang, saying he's really a globalist. It's not what we want. I'm saying, if everything is based on his chips, we are a new kind of reserve currency. And it's kind of exciting. . .new semiconductor, it's another thing that we're great at. That's Jensen. And Jensen, see a lot of this is what it's written on, what are they going to build on. . .and if you have to write on NVIDIA, David, instead of Huawei, the Chinese could end up being the pitiful, helpless giant.' While we acknowledge the potential of NVDA as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.
