So there are about 22 million shares in stock options that will be cleared to trade on May 18th, and WTRH reports earnings the week before. Bad news and a lot of options selling and it could be a big drop upcoming. The only opposing force is the short ratio is quite high meaning a squeeze could happen (Ride the climb! Whip the shorts!)

Overall though, the poster saying the real valuation is closer to $5 per share might be on to something.

“We are very pleased with our results this quarter, including revenue growth of 287%, which was a combination of Waitr driven organic growth and the successful acquisition of Bite Squad on January 17,” said Chris Meaux, founder and Chief Executive Officer of Waitr. “Importantly, we continued to accelerate growth in the markets that we currently serve by increasing restaurant selection and growing our active diner base. During the first quarter, we added more than 3,600 restaurants, more than 240,000 active diners and we continued to expand by adding service to 49 new cities. Our continued rapid growth gives me confidence that we have the right team, the right business model and the right technology in place to optimize our pursuit of the large and growing off premise market in the United States. 2019 is proving to be a transformational year as we invest in continued growth, integrate Bite Squad and make strategic infrastructure investments that will strengthen our foundation and allow us to grow aggressively and efficiently into 2020 and beyond.”

First Quarter 2019 Financial Highlights




Revenue for the first quarter of 2019 increased 287% to $48.0 million compared to $12.4 million in the first quarter of 2018. Revenue related to the Bite Squad Merger totaled $22.9 million from the acquisition date through March 31, 2019. On a pro forma basis, revenue for the first quarter of 2019 increased 78% to $52.3 million compared to $29.4 million in the first quarter of 2018.



Net loss for the first quarter of 2019 was $24.7 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, compared to a loss of $3.4 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2018. Net loss included $6.9 million of one-time business combination specific expenses related to the Bite Squad transaction and $2.1 million of non-cash stock compensation expenses.



Adjusted EBITDA1 for the first quarter of 2019 was a loss of $9.9 million compared to a loss of $2.1 million in the first quarter of 2018.
First Quarter 2019 Key Business Metrics




Gross Food Sales2 for the first quarter of 2019 increased 215% to $170.4 million compared to $54.1 million in the first quarter of 2018. Gross Food Sales related to the Bite Squad Merger totaled $70.4 million from the acquisition date through March 31, 2019.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. A reconciliation of GAAP net loss to Adjusted EBITDA is included in the accompanying financial data. See also “Non-GAAP Financial Measure,” included herein.

Full Year 2019 Outlook

The combination of our strong start to the year, progress in new markets and most importantly positive momentum in existing markets makes us increasingly confident that we will now exceed our initial pro forma revenue guidance of $250 million.

I bought in ahead of earnings today.

Very pleased with the news.

I hope the shorts run this baby up trying to cover tomorrow.

They will hit my target of 5.50 soon. 52wk high is 100+ percent away.

No profitable quarters, uber eats infiltrating thier small market model, and drivers have formed a class in regards to wages.

If they do, I am jumping back in. I had bought at slightly over $10 earlier this year then sold at $13.25. I'll definitely get back in at some point

It's definitely tempting. I may wait this one out a little longer.

I know little about playing in stock market, but have been reading this board looking through all the advise and discussion. I have some $$$ to play with. Would this be a good buy to turn over some $$$ short term, or should I wait for it to go under $7

Currently at $6.32/share. Almost to $5.

But short ratio is > 11. Thats pretty high.

Will we see a bounce for a little bit?
