Despite the anticipated decline in earnings, The RealReal's revenue is expected to rise by 14% from the previous year, reaching $168.47 million for the quarter ending in September 2025. This growth in revenue suggests that the company is expanding its market presence and attracting more customers, even as it faces profitability issues.
Over the past 30 days, there has been an 8.3% downward revision in the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter.
