Hydrofarm shares fall 11.67% after-hours after CEO transition and Q3 earnings miss.

Hydrofarm Holdings (HYFM) fell 11.67% in after-hours trading following the announcement of a CEO transition and underwhelming Q3 2025 financial results, including a reported loss and revenue estimates miss. The CEO change, disclosed amid operational challenges, and mixed sentiment from the earnings call signaled management instability and weak performance, exacerbating investor concerns. Zacks highlighted the revenue shortfall, while TipRanks noted the leadership shift as neutral but contextually bearish given the company’s recent struggles. The timing of the announcements in the after-hours session directly correlated with the sharp decline, reflecting market skepticism toward the strategic direction and financial health of the AgTech firm.
