XMTR (Xometry) is down more than 21% today because, despite reporting record growth and an earnings beat, the company announced a CEO transition and investors used the news to take profits after a big prior run‑up, with heavy short interest amplifying the drop.
Why XMTR fell over 21%
Xometry posted very strong Q4 2025 numbers: revenue grew about 30% year over year to roughly 192 million, marketplace revenue grew over 30%, and EPS and revenue both beat analyst estimates.
At the same time, the company announced that long‑time CEO Randy Altschuler will step down effective July 1, 2026, to be succeeded by current president Sanjeev (Sanjeev/Sanjiv) Singh Sahni, introducing leadership uncertainty right as the company pushes toward its next growth phase.
The stock had previously more than doubled over the past year and was trading near its 52‑week highs, while short interest sat around 30% of the float; in that context, the leadership change plus “priced‑for‑perfection” valuation triggered aggressive profit‑taking and short‑seller pressure, dragging the stock down over 20% in one session.
How the market is interpreting it
The fundamentals of the quarter—record revenue, improving EBITDA, and guidance for continued growth—remain strong, but the reaction shows that investors were worried about sustainability of the rally, leadership transition risk, and the possibility that expectations had gotten ahead of themselves.
