What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

Wix.com acquired Base44, an artificial intelligence company, to enhance its AI and application development portfolio. Despite this investment, the company reported first-quarter 2026 earnings per share of $0.68, missing analyst estimates by 32%. The company's Chief Financial Officer stated that margin results were driven by elevated investments in Base44 and continued high AI compute costs.
