US Stock Market Move | Latest performance guidance slightly below market expectations, Unity Software (U.S.) plunged over 23% in pre-market trading.

On Wednesday, the pre-market stock price of Unity Software (U.US) plummeted, with the stock falling over 23% to $22.32 as of the time of writing. The sharp decline was mainly due to the company's latest performance guidance falling short of market expectations. The company expects first-quarter revenue in 2026 to be $485 million, below the analysts' consensus estimate of $491.8 million, although the downward adjustment is only about 1.4%. Against the backdrop of the software sector as a whole facing pressure on sustainable growth and valuation reassessment, any "marginal weakening" at the guidance level will be quickly magnified by the market, sparking concerns among investors about the company's future growth prospects.
