Shutterstock stock (ISIN US8256901005) closed at USD 4.02 on October 5, 2026, gaining 5.79 percent on the session. The move came as investors weighed a sharp second-quarter revenue decline against cost reductions and a restructuring effort.
Revenue pressure meets a large charge
According to StockTitan, Shutterstock reported Q2 2026 revenue of USD 221.8 million for the period ended June 30, 2026. Revenue fell 17 percent from USD 267.0 million in Q2 2025, creating a clear comparison between the latest quarter and the prior-year period.
The company posted a GAAP net loss of USD 155.9 million, or USD 4.25 per diluted share, compared with net income of USD 29.4 million a year earlier. A non-cash goodwill impairment of USD 173.7 million tied to the terminated Getty Images merger was the largest individual charge in the quarter.
Adjusted earnings show a different picture
Shutterstock also reported adjusted net income of USD 30.0 million, or adjusted diluted EPS of USD 0.82, and adjusted EBITDA of USD 65.1 million. The adjusted EBITDA margin was 29.3 percent, but both adjusted earnings and adjusted EBITDA were below the prior-year levels described in the filing summary.
Operating indicators added pressure. Subscribers fell to 951,000 and paid downloads declined to 98.7 million, while average revenue per customer rose to USD 292. Management had taken more than USD 70 million in annualized cost reductions and targeted an additional USD 60 million by year-end, according to StockTitan.
Stock remains near yearly low
The October 5 session ran from USD 3.76 to USD 4.03, with volume of 512,000 shares. The USD 3.76 low also matched the 52-week low in the latest quote data, while the 52-week high stood at USD 29.50 on October 6, 2026. At USD 4.02, the stock was 6.9 percent above its yearly low.
Shutterstock's market capitalization was USD 148.2 million as of October 5, 2026. StockTitan lists November 5, 2026 as the date for the company's third-quarter 2026 financial results conference call.
Shutterstock stock stays under pressure
The figures leave Shutterstock balancing a small adjusted profit against falling revenue, lower subscriber numbers and a substantial GAAP loss. For investors, the next report will show whether cost reductions can offset continued weakness in the core content business.
