Shares plunged 29.3% as investors reacted negatively to a clear pullback in guidance and a strategic pivot that sacrifices short-term revenue visibility and growth for longer-term AI-driven transformation.

• Management explicitly withdrew formal guidance, citing the distraction it causes from pursuing a transformational AI-native technology platform.
• The company acknowledges inconsistency in incremental improvements on its legacy platform, which has high time and cost burdens.
• Angi is reallocating resources away from near-term revenue growth initiatives toward building a new AI-powered flywheel and a Pro Chief Revenue Officer product to drive future growth.
• Despite claims of solid current operating cash flow from legacy operations, the lack of clarity on near-term revenue and EBITDA impact introduces significant uncertainty.
• The pivot reflects a trade-off between short-term execution and long-term optionality, but investors clearly feared the near-term growth and margin implications.
