What Happened?

Shares of real estate developer Howard Hughes Holdings (NYSE: HHH) fell 4.9% in the morning session after the company reported fourth-quarter results that showed a significant miss on earnings, even as revenue surpassed analyst expectations. 

The real estate developer posted earnings of $0.10 per share, which was 75.1% below what analysts had forecasted. This came in stark contrast to the company's revenue of $624.4 million, which managed to top estimates. However, this revenue figure also marked a 36.5% decrease compared to the same period in the previous year. The profit miss was particularly sharp when compared to the earnings of $3.10 per share reported a year ago, and the market reacted negatively to the steep drop in profitability.
