Klarna Group Plc has lowered its revenue expectations for the year due to foreign exchange pressures and declining consumer spending in Germany. The company also announced plans for a new chief financial officer, as CFO Niclas Neglén and CMO David Sandström are set to step down in early 2027.
Following the announcement, Klarna's stock fell over 20%, reflecting investor concerns about the company's outlook despite reporting second-quarter earnings that exceeded expectations. The firm has also adjusted its full-year GMV guidance, contributing to the stock's decline.
