Bridger Aerospace Group Holdings saw a decline in its stock price during Monday's post-market session following the announcement of lowered revenue guidance for 2023 and the release of its third-quarter financial results.

Revised Revenue Guidance

Bridger revised its revenue guidance for 2023 to a range of $66 million to $68 million. This marks a decrease from the earlier guidance of $84 million to $96 million.

Stock Performance

As a result of the news, the stock price fell by 22%, reaching $4.04 per share at 5:50 p.m. ET. During the regular trading session, the shares had already experienced a decline of 2.3%, closing at $5.21.

Strong Third-Quarter Results

Despite the challenges faced, Bridger reported a strong performance in the third quarter. The company recorded earnings per share of 15 cents on revenue of $53.6 million. Notably, this quarter witnessed all-time high records for revenue, net income, and Adjusted Ebitda.

Super Scooper Aircraft Utilization

Bridger's fleet of Super Scooper aircraft demonstrated exceptional utilization during the third quarter, surpassing previous levels.
