NerdWallet stock (ISIN US64082Q1004) was trading at USD 8.48 on Nasdaq at 3:07 p.m. ET on September 28, 2026, down 0.18 percent from the USD 8.50 prior close. The latest quarterly picture is mixed: revenue expanded, but GAAP profitability weakened sharply.
Revenue grows while profit contracts
According to The Globe and Mail on August 6, 2026, second-quarter revenue reached USD 197.3 million, up 6 percent year over year. Consumer revenue rose 8 percent to USD 175.2 million, while small-business revenue declined 11 percent to USD 22.1 million.
The earnings mix puts the pressure point below the top line. Yahoo Finance reported that GAAP net income fell 48 percent year over year to USD 4.3 million, or USD 0.07 per diluted share, while GAAP operating income fell 35 percent to USD 7.0 million.
Guidance points to a faster third quarter
Management's Q3 outlook calls for revenue of USD 244 million to USD 260 million, with the midpoint representing 17 percent year-over-year growth, according to The Globe and Mail. Non-GAAP operating income guidance stands at USD 29 million to USD 37 million.
The strategic tradeoff is clear in the numbers. NerdWallet reported USD 23.1 million of adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter, while incremental customer-acquisition spending is expected to reach USD 15 million to USD 20 million in 2026. Personal loans and deposit accounts are supporting growth, but organic-search pressure continues to weigh on credit cards and small-business products.
NRDS remains below its yearly high
The share price stood within a USD 7.33 to USD 16.24 52-week range on September 28, 2026. At USD 8.48, the stock was 47.78 percent below its 52-week high, while its market capitalization stood at USD 617.7 million and volume reached 342,670 shares.
For investors, the key test is whether the projected 17 percent third-quarter growth can translate into stronger operating leverage after the second quarter's 48 percent net-income decline. NerdWallet stock was trading at USD 8.48 on Nasdaq on September 28, 2026, with an intraday range of USD 8.22 to USD 8.53.
