The real culprit might surprise you.Shares of Monday.com (MNDY +0.63%) plunged this week, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. From last Friday's market close to the closing bell on Feb. 12, the stock price fell 25%. True to its name, Monday.com reported earnings early Monday morning. The report itself was better than expected, but the company disappointed investors with modest guidance for the next fiscal year.

Monday.com's revenue rose 25% year over year, landing at $333.9 million. Adjusted earnings fell from $1.08 to $1.04 per diluted share. In both cases, Wall Street expected something worse. The analyst consensus pointed to earnings near $0.92 per share on revenue in the neighborhood of $329.5 million. The results also exceeded the midpoints of Monday.com's guidance ranges, which aimed at revenue around $329 million and significantly weaker operating income. However, management withdrew its existing 2027 guidance due to currency exchange headwinds and "the evolving nature of the AI landscape," according to conference call comments. Many investors saw this canceled guidance as a sign that AI agents are stealing Monday.com's business in the project management and online collaboration markets. The stock closed 20.1% lower that day and hovered around that lower level for the rest of the week. Image source: Getty Images. Is Monday.com sandbagging again? This company has a history of setting modest guidance targets and hitting them out of the park with stronger real-world performance. Revoking longer-term growth goals would take the lowballing to a new level, but management projects roughly 18% revenue growth and 28% higher adjusted operating profits in 2026. Those are lofty growth targets. And Monday.com is taking action against the potential AI challenge. The company offers its own AI agent platform, letting clients integrate multi-step AI tools in their Work OS applications. In the end, AI could be more of an opportunity than a threat for this innovative company. I think the resulting price drop was an overreaction. If you don't own any Monday.com stock yet, this could be a good time to get started.Read NextFeb 12, 2026 •By Timothy GreenThe Vibe Coding Tool That's Growing Faster Than Anything Monday.com Has Ever BuiltFeb 9, 2026 •By Jeremy BowmanWhy Monday.com Stock Was Tumbling TodayJan 15, 2026 •By Brett SchaferWhy Monday.com Stock Sank In 2025Dec 23, 2025 •By Will HealyEvolutionary Tree Dumps 11,000 monday.com Shares for $3.6 MillionNov 14, 2025 •By Eric VolkmanWhy Monday.com Stock Plummeted by 15% This WeekNov 10, 2025 •By Timothy GreenMonday.com Stock Is Crashing.
