What Happened?
Shares of online fashion resale marketplace ThredUp (NASDAQ:TDUP) jumped 3.2% in the morning session after the release of stronger-than-expected U.S. retail sales data for June, which pointed to resilient consumer spending. The Commerce Department reported on Thursday that retail sales rose 0.6% last month, significantly beating market expectations. This report eased investor concerns about the health of the U.S. consumer, a key driver of the economy. For an online consignment and thrift store like ThredUp, the details of the report were particularly encouraging. This broad strength in apparel spending suggests that consumers are still willing to refresh their wardrobes, creating a positive backdrop for companies across the fashion retail landscape.
Also, the second quarter (2025) earnings season got off to a strong start. Quarterly earnings reports released during the week exceeded Wall Street's expectations, fueling investor confidence. Around 50 S&P 500 components reported, with 88% of those exceeding analysts' expectations, FactSet data revealed.
The shares closed the day at $7.16, up 0.6% from previous close.

What Is The Market Telling Us
ThredUp’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 75 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today’s move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business.
The biggest move we wrote about over the last year was 12 months ago when the stock dropped 52.6% on the news that the company reported weak second-quarter earnings. Its full-year revenue guidance missed, and its revenue guidance for the next quarter fell short of Wall Street's estimates. Notably, management called out "challenges in both the U.S. and Europe." Overall, this was a mediocre quarter for ThredUp.
ThredUp is up 411% since the beginning of the year, but at $7.20 per share, it is still trading 17.1% below its 52-week high of $8.69 from June 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of ThredUp’s shares at the IPO in March 2021 would now be looking at an investment worth $360.
