from The Daily News Now! Business

Jumia Technologies stock surged 24% on NYSE after strong Q1 results, with revenue up 39% to $50.6M, driven by 31% increase in marketplace spending to $211M. Orders and active customers also grew by 31% and 26% respectively, indicating momentum in key markets. However, the stock has plummeted 87% since IPO in 2020, currently at $8.70, raising questions about its valuation. Despite investor optimism, Jumias persistent operating losses and logistical challenges in Africas tough e-commerce landscape remain concerns.
