On Aug. 12, Mister Car Wash (NYSE: MCW) issued its first quarterly earnings report since its initial public offering (IPO). For the period covering the second quarter of 2021, it reported soaring revenue, comparable sales growth, and positive adjusted earnings per share.
These successes seem like they should make a splash in the stock market, yet in response to the report, the company's stock plunged, then continued a slower decline well into the next week. In finding out why the market is dubious about the car wash company, a closer look at its fundamentals reveals what could be the true reason behind this seemingly bearish sentiment.
A cursory glance at Mister Car Wash's first-ever earnings report as a publicly traded company makes its stock market plunge following the release look illogical. The company turned in what can only be considered successful results.
