Navan shares fell about 17% in extended trading on September 9 after the company released its fiscal second-quarter results, as higher operating expenses and a wider operating loss overshadowed an earnings beat and raised full-year revenue forecast. Reuters, via StreetInsider, reported that investors focused on the cost trajectory following the release.

Navan shares fall after fiscal Q2 release
Navan shares declined in post-market trading after its fiscal Q2 release despite stronger-than-expected quarterly revenue and adjusted earnings. The reaction reflected concern that costs were rising faster than sales, even as the company raised its fiscal 2027 revenue expectations. Operating expenses rose 46% year over year to $200.2 million, while the operating loss widened to $25.6 million from $12.3 million a year earlier, according to Reuters.
Revenue and adjusted earnings exceed estimates
Navan reported fiscal second-quarter revenue of $233 million, up 35% year over year.
Revenue was approximately $232.8 million, above the $220.5 million consensus forecast, while adjusted earnings were $0.05 per share against the $0.04 analyst estimate, according to Investing.com.
The stronger-than-expected quarter did not prevent an after-hours selloff in Navan shares.
Operating expenses outpace revenue growth
The 46% rise in operating expenses exceeded Navan’s 35% revenue growth rate for the quarter. At the same time, the operating loss more than doubled year over year, providing the central point of tension in the results.
Adjusted earnings and operating loss measure different aspects of performance, but the figures showed investors a company delivering above-consensus quarterly results while its underlying operating cost base expanded sharply.
Fiscal 2027 revenue outlook rises
Navan raised its fiscal 2027 revenue outlook to a range of $927 million to $933 million, from a prior forecast of $907 million to $913 million. The company disclosed the revised outlook alongside its quarterly results in a September 9 investor relations release.
The upgraded guidance points to stronger expected sales than Navan previously anticipated. The extended-trading move, however, indicated that the expense growth and widened operating loss were more immediate concerns for shareholders.
