Why WEBTOON (WBTN) Shares Are Plunging TodayShares of digital storytelling platform WEBTOON (
NASDAQ:WBTN) fell 14.2% in the morning session after the company reported weak first quarter 2025 results: its revenue and EPS missed. The shortfall was driven by a modest decline in Paid Content sales, which remained the company's largest revenue stream, even as Advertising and IP Adaptations grew modestly.
Adjusted EBITDA fell a lot from the prior year, and margins shrank, as operating expenses soared. These cost increases overwhelmed the modest top-line performance and pushed adjusted earnings per share down.
