GigaCloud to Report Q2 Earnings: What's in the Cards for the Stock?

GigaCloud Technology Inc. GCT is scheduled to report its second-quarter 2025 results on Aug. 7, after the bell.

We expect a year-over-year decline in the company’s top line in the to-be-reported quarter, mainly due to weakness in product revenues. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for total revenues is pegged at $290.2 million, indicating a 6.7% year-over-year decline. The consensus mark for product revenues is pegged at $179 million, indicating a 20.4% year-over-year decline.

The anticipated drop reflects a normalization in order volumes following the company’s outsized growth in prior quarters, as well as possible macro-related softness in cross-border e-commerce activity. Service revenues may partially offset the decline, the consensus mark for which is pegged at $111 million, indicating 30.6% year-over-year growth.

Earnings are also expected to decline meaningfully, with the Zacks Consensus Estimate pegged at 46 cents, down 29.2% from the year-ago actual. The drop is likely tied to operational costs, coupled with lower leverage from declining revenues.
