ANPMF
November 25, 2025 6:30 AM EST | Source: Andean Precious Metals Corp.
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - November 25, 2025) - Andean Precious Metals Corp. (TSX: APM) (OTCQX: ANPMF) ("Andean" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a new revolving credit facility with National Bank of Canada ("NBC"), further strengthening the Company's capital structure and enhancing financial flexibility.

NBC Revolving Credit Facility Key Terms:

Capacity: US$40 million, automatically reducing to US$30 million on the first anniversaryTerm: 2 yearsInterest rate: SOFR + 4.25%The new facility provides improved liquidity and a more efficient cost of capital as Andean advances its strategic and operational initiatives across its portfolio.

Closure of Existing Credit Facilities

Concurrent with the closing of the NBC Revolving Credit Facility, Andean has:

Extinguished and closed the CommerceWest Main Street Lending Program Loan, totaling US$36.1 million, which was fully repaid using a combination of drawdowns from the new NBC Revolving Credit Facility and cash on hand; and

Closed the Company's existing US$25 million credit facility with Banco Santander International, which has been retired in conjunction with the establishment of the NBC Revolving Credit Facility. With these actions, Andean has simplified its capital structure, reduced the number of outstanding credit facilities, and aligned its financing arrangements with the Company's current scale and growth plans.

Juan Carlos Sandoval, Chief Financial Officer, stated: "The new credit facility with National Bank of Canada represents a significant milestone in optimizing our balance sheet and reinforcing financial flexibility to support the Company's next stage of growth. By consolidating and retiring prior credit arrangements, we have streamlined our capital structure, enhanced liquidity, and secured a more competitive cost of capital. We value NBC's partnership and remain committed to strengthening our financial position as we advance our strategic objectives."

Embecta Corp. Reports Fiscal 2025 Fourth Quarter and Full Year Financial Results; Provides Initial Fiscal Year 2026 Financial Guidance stocknewsapi
EMBC
PARSIPPANY, N.J., Nov. 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Embecta Corp. (“embecta” or the "Company") (Nasdaq: EMBC), a global diabetes care company, today reported financial results for the three- and twelve-month periods ended September 30, 2025.

"Our fourth quarter results were largely in line with our expectations, with revenue lower year over year due to several items we had previously anticipated, including the impact of advanced distributor ordering in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024 in advance of a potential U.S. port strike; the impact of advanced distributor ordering in the third quarter of fiscal year 2025 in advance of the U.S. July 4th holiday; and the continuing business dynamics in China," said Devdatt (Dev) Kurdikar, Chief Executive Officer of embecta.

Mr. Kurdikar continued: "Meanwhile, in terms of profitability, our GAAP operating margin and net income were higher year over year, and we exceeded our previously provided fiscal year 2025 adjusted operating and adjusted EBITDA margin ranges. Also, our GAAP diluted earnings per share was higher year over year and our adjusted diluted earnings per share was at the top-end of our previously provided guidance range."

Mr. Kurdikar concluded: "Fiscal year 2025 marked the completion of the first phase of our strategic roadmap: one focused on major separation and stand-up activities, including implementing a global ERP system and operationalizing our own distribution network and shared services. We also initiated the second phase: seeding growth. By focusing on operational efficiency and executing restructuring, we were able to accelerate debt reduction and decrease our net leverage, creating additional financial flexibility for our goal to invest in growth. We remain committed to the initiatives announced at our 2025 Analyst and Investor Day, and in fiscal year 2026, we intend to maintain our global leadership position in our core product categories, execute on our new product programs, and generate strong adjusted operating margin and free cash flow. While the broader geopolitical and trade environment remains dynamic, we believe our global scale, resilient supply chain, and experienced teams position us well to build value for all stakeholders."

This compares to free cash flow of approximately $27 million in the prior year quarter and approximately $20 million for fiscal year 2024 Adjusted Constant Currency Revenue Growth is based upon Reported Revenues, adjusted to exclude, depending on the period presented, the items described in Adjusted Revenues and to eliminate the impact of translating the results of international subsidiaries at different currency exchange rates from period to period. The impact of changes in foreign currency may vary significantly from period to period, and such changes generally are outside of the control of our management. We believe that this measure facilitates a comparison of our operating performance exclusive of currency exchange rate fluctuations that do not reflect our underlying performance or business trends. These results should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, results reported in accordance with GAAP. Results on an adjusted constant currency basis, as we present them, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and are not measures of performance presented in accordance with GAAP.

Changes in the Company's reported revenues are driven by the volume of goods that embecta sells, the prices it negotiates with customers, and changes in foreign exchange rates. The decrease in reported revenues was driven by $21.9 million of unfavorable changes in volume and $8.9 million associated with unfavorable changes in price. This was partially offset by $4.8 million of favorable changes in gross-to-net adjustments attributed to the recognition of higher incremental Italian payback accruals in the prior year as compared to the current year, $3.5 million associated with the positive impact of foreign currency translation primarily due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar, and a $0.4 million increase in contract manufacturing revenues related to sales of non-diabetes products to Becton, Dickinson and Company ("BD").

The decrease in reported revenues was primarily driven by $52.9 million of unfavorable changes in volume and $3.5 million associated with the negative impact of foreign currency translation primarily due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar. This was partially offset by a $6.9 million increase in contract manufacturing revenues related to sales of non-diabetes products to BD, $4.8 million of favorable changes in gross-to-net adjustments attributed to the recognition of higher incremental Italian payback accruals in the prior year as compared to the current year, and a $2.0 million increase associated with favorable changes in price.

Preliminary Fiscal Year 2026 Financial Guidance:

For fiscal year 2026, the Company expects:

Dollars in millions, except percentages and per share data  Reported Revenues $1,071 - $1,093Reported Revenue Growth (%) (0.9)% - 1.1%Impact of F/X (%) 1.2%Impact of Italian Payback Measure (1) (%) (0.1)%Adjusted Constant Currency Revenue Growth (%) (2.0)% - 0.0%Adjusted Operating Margin (%) 29.0% - 30.0%Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share $2.80 - $3.00 (1)    Reflects the recognition of changes in estimates associated with the Italian payback measure relating to certain prior years since 2015 recorded in Revenues.

embecta is unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of its expected adjusted earnings per diluted share and expected adjusted operating margin as it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty and without unreasonable effort the impact and timing of any one-time items. The financial impact of these one-time items is uncertain and is dependent on various factors, including timing, and could be material to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Balance Sheet, Liquidity and Other Updates

During the fourth quarter, the Company repaid an aggregate principal amount of approximately $72.4 million outstanding under its term loan B facility that had an interest rate of 300 basis points over the SOFR, with a 0.50% SOFR floor.

As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $228.6 million in cash and equivalents and restricted cash and $1.417 billion of debt principal outstanding, and no amount drawn on its $500 million Revolving Credit Facility.

The Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 for each issued and outstanding share of the Company’s common stock. The dividend is payable on December 18, 2025 to stockholders of record at the close of business on December 5, 2025.

Fiscal 2025 Fourth Quarter and Full Year Earnings Conference Call:

In evaluating our operating performance, we supplement the reporting of our financial information determined under GAAP with certain non-GAAP financial measures including (i) Adjusted Revenues, (ii) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”), (iii) Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, (iv) Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin, (v) Adjusted Constant Currency Revenue Growth, (vi) Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Income Margin, (vii) Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Diluted Share, and (viii) Free cash flow. These non-GAAP financial measures are indicators of our performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. They are presented with the intent of providing greater transparency to financial information used by us in our financial analysis and operational decision-making. We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful information to assist investors, stockholders and other readers of our consolidated financial statements in making comparisons to our historical operating results and analyzing the underlying performance of our results of operations. However, the presentation of these measures has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for the company’s results as reported under GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, the presentations of these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures in its operational and financial decision making, and believes that it is useful to exclude certain items in order to focus on what it regards to be a meaningful alternative representation of the underlying operating performance of the business.

Safe Harbor Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains express or implied "forward-looking statements" as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other securities laws. These forward-looking statements concern our current expectations regarding our future results from operations, performance, financial condition, goals, strategies, plans and achievements. These forward-looking statements are subject to various known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, and you should not rely upon them except as statements of our present intentions and of our present expectations, which may or may not occur. When we use words such as "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "estimates," "plans," "intends", “goal,” “pursue”, “will” “may” or similar expressions, we are making forward-looking statements. For example, embecta is using forward-looking statements when it discusses its fiscal 2026 financial guidance, the initiatives announced at its 2025 Analyst and Investor Day, maintaining its global leadership position in its core product categories, executing on its new product programs, its expectations around its adjusted operating margin and free cash flow, building value for stakeholders based on its global scale, resilient supply chain, and experienced teams, expectations related to the impact of incremental tariffs, strengthening its core business, expanding the product portfolio, brand transition plan timing, plans to prioritize free cash flow towards paying down debt, and create financial flexibility for future investments, expected savings and expenses from its organizational restructuring and the timing thereof, expectations with respect to strengthening its base business, separating and standing up embecta as an independent company, and investing in growth, and  its ability to expand into other markets. Although we believe that our forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, our expected results may not be achieved, and actual results may differ materially from our expectations. In addition, important factors that could cause actual results to differ from expectations include, among others: (i) competitive factors that could adversely affect embecta’s operations; (ii) any inability to replace the services provided by BD under the transaction documents; (iii) any failure by BD to perform its obligations under the various separation agreements entered into in connection with the separation and distribution; (iv) any events that adversely affect the sale or profitability of embecta’s products or the revenues delivered from sales to its customers; (v) increases in operating costs, including fluctuations in the cost and availability of raw materials or components used in its products, the ability to maintain favorable supplier arrangements and relationships, and the potential adverse effects of any disruption in the availability of such items; (vi) the impact of the global trade environment resulting from newly instituted tariffs causing certain foreign governments, private purchasers and others to consider transitioning away from products originating from certain countries (including the U.S.) in favor of buying “local” products and local manufacturers and competitors to attempt to capitalize on these sentiments and engage in aggressive competitive pricing or other strategies to divert customers away from embecta; (vii) changes in reimbursement practices of governments or private payers or other cost containment measures; (viii) the adverse financial impact resulting from unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates, as well as regional, national and foreign economic factors, including inflation, deflation, and fluctuations in interest rates; (ix) the impact of changes in U.S. federal laws and policy that could affect fiscal and tax policies, healthcare and international trade, including import and export regulation and international trade agreements; (x) any new pandemic, or any geopolitical instability, including disruptions in its operations and supply chains; (xi) new or changing laws and regulations, or changes in enforcement practices, including laws relating to healthcare, environmental protection, trade, monetary and fiscal policies, taxation and licensing and regulatory requirements for products; (xii) the expected benefits of the separation from BD; (xiii) risks associated with embecta’s indebtedness; (xiv) the risk that ongoing dis-synergy costs, costs of restructuring and other costs incurred in connection with the separation from BD will exceed our estimates of these costs; (xv) the risk that it will be more difficult than expected to effect embecta’s full separation from BD; (xv) the risks related to timely and successfully completing the brand transition, including any resulting regulatory registration and license delays and interruptions in the transition of the rebranded products into commercial operations, networks, administrative operations and end-to-end product flow and user access; (xvi) expectations related to the costs, profitability, timing and the estimated financial impact of, and charges and savings associated with, the restructuring plan we announced; (xvii) risks associated with not completing strategic collaborative partnerships and acquisitions for innovative technologies, complementary product lines, and new markets; and (xviii) the other risks described in our periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including under the caption “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as further updated by our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q we have filed or will file hereafter. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements appearing in this release.

American Woodmark Corporation Announces Second Quarter Results stocknewsapi
AMWD
WINCHESTER, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--American Woodmark Corporation (NASDAQ: AMWD) (“American Woodmark,” “the Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) today announced results for its second fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2025.

“Demand trends remain challenged in both the new construction and remodel markets. Our teams are executing well despite the lower volumes and delivered Adjusted EBITDA margins of 10.0% for the second fiscal quarter,” said Scott Culbreth, President and CEO. “Actions have been put in place or are in process to mitigate tariff and lower demand impacts on the business, including structural cost reductions, supplier negotiations, alternative sourcing and price increases. We estimate the unmitigated tariff impact at the current rates, in effect as of today’s date, to represent approximately 4-4.5% of the Company’s annualized net sales with the impact varying by product category. This impact does not include the potential increase on Section 232 tariffs to 50%. The Company is also focused on closing the previously announced merger transaction with MasterBrand, Inc. so that we can provide a broader product portfolio across expanded channels, advance our innovation capabilities, and create exciting opportunities for team members.”

Second Quarter Results

Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 decreased $57.8 million, or 12.8%, to $394.6 million compared with the same quarter last fiscal year. Net income was $6.1 million ($0.42 per diluted share and 1.5% of net sales) compared with $27.7 million ($1.79 per diluted share and 6.1% of net sales) for the same quarter last fiscal year. Net income decreased $21.6 million due to the following: lower net sales, higher tariff and input costs, merger-related expenses, higher interest expense, and restructuring charges, net. These increases were partially offset by lower volume-based costs at our operating locations, lower incentive compensation, favorable mark-to-market adjustments on our foreign exchange forward contracts, and controlled discretionary spending across all locations and functions. Adjusted EPS per diluted share was $0.76 for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 compared with $2.08 for the same quarter last fiscal year. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 decreased $20.6 million, or 34.1%, to $39.6 million, or 10.0% of net sales, compared with $60.2 million, or 13.3% of net sales, for the same quarter last fiscal year.

Fiscal Year to Date Results

Net sales for the first six months of fiscal 2026 decreased $113.9 million, or 12.5%, to $797.7 million compared with the same period last fiscal year. Net income was $20.7 million ($1.42 per diluted share and 2.6% of net sales) compared with $57.3 million ($3.68 per diluted share and 6.3% of net sales) for the same period last fiscal year. Net income decreased $36.6 million due to the following: lower net sales combined with an unfavorable mix shift towards value-based offerings, higher tariff and product input costs, increased Digital Transformation spending related to our ERP deployment strategy, merger-related expenses, higher interest expense, and restructuring charges, net. These increases were partially offset by lower volume-based costs at our operating locations, lower incentive compensation, favorable mark-to-market adjustments on our foreign exchange forward contracts, and controlled discretionary spending across all locations and functions. Adjusted EPS per diluted share was $1.77 for the first six months of fiscal 2026 compared with $4.22 for the same period last fiscal year. Adjusted EBITDA for the first six months of fiscal 2026 decreased $41.2 million, or 33.5%, to $81.9 million, or 10.3% of net sales, compared with $123.1 million, or 13.5% of net sales, for the same period last fiscal year.

In light of our pending merger with MasterBrand, Inc., previously announced on August 6, 2025, we will not be holding a conference call to discuss our second quarter of fiscal 2026 results and we will not be providing or updating previously issued financial guidance.

Balance Sheet & Cash Flow

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We have reported our financial results in accordance with GAAP, and have discussed our financial results using the non-GAAP measures described below.

Management believes all of these non-GAAP financial measures provide an additional means of analyzing the current period's results against the corresponding prior period's results. However, these non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the Company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin

We use EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin in evaluating the performance of our business, and we use each in the preparation of our annual operating budgets and as indicators of business performance and profitability. We believe EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin allow us to readily view operating trends, perform analytical comparisons and identify strategies to improve operating performance. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is a key measurement used in our Term Loans to determine interest rates and financial covenant compliance.

We define EBITDA as net income adjusted to exclude (1) income tax expense, (2) interest expense, net, and (3) depreciation and amortization expense. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted to exclude (1) expenses related to the pending merger with MasterBrand, Inc., (2) restructuring charges, net, (3) net gain/loss on debt modification, (4) stock-based compensation expense, (5) gain/loss on asset disposals, and (6) change in fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts. We believe Adjusted EBITDA, when presented in conjunction with comparable GAAP measures, is useful for investors because management uses Adjusted EBITDA in evaluating the performance of our business.

We define Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales.

Adjusted EPS per diluted share

We use Adjusted EPS per diluted share in evaluating the performance of our business and profitability. Management believes that this measure provides useful information to investors by offering additional ways of viewing the Company's results by providing an indication of performance and profitability excluding the impact of unusual and/or non-cash items. We define Adjusted EPS per diluted share as diluted earnings per share excluding the per share impact of (1) expenses related to the currently proposed merger with MasterBrand, (2) restructuring charges, net, (3) net gain/loss on debt modification, (4) change in fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts, and (5) the tax benefit of items (1) - (4).

Free cash flow

We use free cash flow to better understand cash flow trends in our business. We believe this measure gives investors an additional perspective on cash flow from operating activities in excess of amounts required for reinvestment. It also provides a measure of our ability to repay our debt obligations. We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures consisting of (1) cash payments to acquire property, plant and equipment and (2) cash investments in promotional displays.

Net leverage

Net leverage is a performance measure that we believe provides investors a more complete understanding of our leverage position and borrowing capacity after factoring in cash and cash equivalents that eventually could be used to repay outstanding debt.

We define net leverage as net debt (total debt less cash and cash equivalents) divided by the trailing-twelve months Adjusted EBITDA.

A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures and the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP are set forth on the following tables:

Henry Schein One Unveils Industry-first Natively Embedded Voice Workflow at 2025 Greater New York Dental Meeting stocknewsapi
HSIC
-

Company announces smarter workflows for Dentrix and Dentrix Ascend platforms with a focus on clean claims

AMERICAN FORK, Utah--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Coming off the heels of its announcement with Amazon Web Services, Henry Schein One, the leading provider of global dental technology, today unveils natively embedded AI and automation workflows. This includes Voice Notes, which helps practices close revenue gaps through clean claims, and modernize more effectively.

“Our goal isn’t piecemeal AI and automation — it’s natively embedded AI with a purpose,” said Dr. Ryan Hungate, Chief Clinical and Strategy Officer at Henry Schein One. “We’re seamlessly building it into every part of the practice. "

Share
“Our goal isn’t piecemeal AI and automation — it’s natively embedded AI with a purpose,” said Dr. Ryan Hungate, Chief Clinical and Strategy Officer at Henry Schein One. “We’re seamlessly building it into every part of the practice. From the first phone call to the final payment, AI is already embedded through multiple points within the Henry Schein One ecosystem —helping dental teams save time, increase accuracy, and improve margins.”

Start with cleaner claims and sharper intake.

Henry Schein One’s newly launched Forms workflow captures insurance data from a simple photo of the patient’s card, making record entry faster and more accurate.

“The new forms save our front office teams significant time, allowing them to focus on patients. Our patients appreciate how easy the forms are, and the time they save during their visits. As partners, Henry Schein One helped us deliver a win-win-win for our team member experience, patient experience, and operational efficiency,” said Matt Hall, Chief Experience Officer, Smile Brands, Inc. “Building the forms for scale while allowing customization is seamless and powerful. Features like automatic field level writeback, ID capture/OCR, and intuitive UX for patients ensure our offices receive the most accurate patient data so we can best serve them. We’ve successfully rolled them out across all our practices on Ascend.”

Eligibility Pro pulls real-time benefits from insurance portals and adds the coverage details to the patient’s record, so teams have accurate information before the appointment starts.

Deliver smarter care chairside.

Once the patient is in the chair, Detect AI, powered by VideaHealth, helps teams diagnose with greater confidence. Its FDA-cleared algorithms identify caries and bone loss directly on x-rays, helping patients clearly understand clinical findings and treatment recommendations. The new Detect AI Impact Panel takes this a step further by increasing patient understanding, trust, and ultimately treatment acceptance.

Document hands-free.

The new Voice Notes maps chairside conversations into accurate clinical records using generative AI to transcribe and summarize in real time. This reduces administrative burden and frees teams to focus on patient care. A recent Yale University study found clinicians experienced a 15% decrease in burnout within 30 days of adopting an AI scribe solution.

Keep every conversation connected.

The new Phones ties patient communication directly to the record, giving teams instant context to answer questions confidently. A call pop displays key details as soon as the phone rings, while AI-powered summaries capture conversation notes and sentiment automatically—creating consistent, high-quality interactions.

Support every role, any time.

Rounding out the newest workflow enhancements is Claire, our multilingual 24/7 support assistant available by chat or phone.

Henry Schein One is the only company connecting every part of the dental journey—from forms and eligibility to imaging, treatment planning, documentation, and claims—to truly monitor practice performance and protect profits.

Looking to the future

Henry Schein One will continue to lead the industry with their next wave of AI-enabled solutions including predictive tools for scheduling and case acceptance, AI-driven assistants that support documentation and coding for cleaner claims, and unified analytics dashboards that provide a complete view of clinical and operational performance.

“Henry Schein One isn’t just talking about the future of dentistry; they’re building workflows that are intuitive, allowing AI to make a real impact today for clinicians,” said Dr. Jason Mann, Co-Founder and Chief Dental Officer, Providence Dental Partners.

Dental teams looking to make the most of this moment can visit Henry Schein One at Booth #4021 during the Greater New York Dental Meeting, November 30–December 3, 2025. Join us for daily happy hours from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. ET (through December 2).

Ivanhoe Mines Announces Completion of Hydropower Ramp-Up of 178-megawatt Turbine #5 at Inga II stocknewsapi
IVPAF
November 25, 2025 6:35 AM EST | Source: Ivanhoe Mines Ltd.
Initial 50 megawatts received at Kamoa-Kakula; expected to increase to 100 megawatts by Q1 2026 as grid improvements are completed, and 150 megawatts by 2027

Over 10 years of partnership between Ivanhoe Mines and Société Nationale d'Electricité (SNEL) in the refurbishment of 250 megawatts of renewable, hydropower capacity

Kolwezi, Democratic Republic of the Congo--(Newsfile Corp. - November 25, 2025) - Ivanhoe Mines (TSX: IVN) (OTCQX: IVPAF) Executive Co-Chair Robert Friedland and President and Chief Executive Officer Marna Cloete are delighted to announce that the first 50 megawatts (MW) of clean, hydroelectric power from the newly refurbished 178-MW Turbine #5 at the Inga II dam is now being received at the Kamoa-Kakula Copper Complex. The feed of hydroelectric power, from Inga II to Kamoa Kakula, is expected to increase to 100 MW in Q1 2026 and then increase to 150 MW as grid improvements are completed.

Watch the video summarizing over 10 years of partnership with the DRC state utility, SNEL, in refurbishment and return to operation of 250 MW of clean, hydropower capacity: https://vimeo.com/1140019977/45383e1c1d?fl=pl&fe=sh

Initial 50 megawatts of clean, hydropower delivered to Kamoa-Kakula from newly refurbished 178-megawatt Turbine #5 at Inga II

Installation of replacement mechanical and electrical equipment at Turbine #5 at the Inga II hydroelectric facility was completed in Q3 2025, followed by synchronization and energization of Turbine #5 in early Q4 2025. The newly refurbished Turbine #5 has since ramped up to full capacity, delivering approximately 180 MW of clean, hydroelectric power into the DRC grid. Of the 180 MW being delivered into the grid, Kamoa-Kakula is currently receiving an initial 50 MW, bringing its total domestically sourced power to approximately 110 MW, as shown in Table 1. Hydroelectric power delivery to Kamoa-Kakula, from Turbine #5, is expected to increase to 100 MW in Q1 2026 and to 150 MW thereafter as grid upgrades are completed.

The grid improvement initiatives primarily focus on upgrades to substations at Inga (SCI) and Kolwezi (SCK). The first upgrade, consisting of resistor banks at the Inga substation, was completed in May 2025. Corresponding resistor upgrades at the Kolwezi substation are expected to be completed imminently, improving voltage stability to Kamoa-Kakula. In addition, the static compensator at the Kolwezi substation is scheduled to be completed in early Q1 2026, increasing the power delivery from Inga II to the Kamoa-Kakula up to 100 MW. The remaining workstreams to upgrade the filter banks at SCI and SCK will occur in phases over the next 18 months, ultimately increasing the total power received from Turbine #5 to 150 MW during H1 2027. As shown in Figure 1, by the end of 2027, total domestically-sourced, renewable grid-supplied power is expected to be approximately 210 MW.

At the center of everything we do is a strong commitment to independent research and sharing its profitable discoveries with investors. This dedication to giving investors a trading advantage led to the creation of our proven Zacks Rank stock-rating system. Since 1988 it has more than doubled the S&P 500 with an average gain of +23.93% per year. These returns cover a period from January 1, 1988 through October 6, 2025. Zacks Rank stock-rating system returns are computed monthly based on the beginning of the month and end of the month Zacks Rank stock prices plus any dividends received during that particular month. A simple, equally-weighted average return of all Zacks Rank stocks is calculated to determine the monthly return. The monthly returns are then compounded to arrive at the annual return. Only Zacks Rank stocks included in Zacks hypothetical portfolios at the beginning of each month are included in the return calculations. Zacks Ranks stocks can, and often do, change throughout the month. Certain Zacks Rank stocks for which no month-end price was available, pricing information was not collected, or for certain other reasons have been excluded from these return calculations.

Titan Machinery Inc. Announces Results for Fiscal Third Quarter Ended October 31, 2025 stocknewsapi
TITN
- Achieves $98 Million Cumulative Inventory Reduction in First Nine Months of Fiscal 2026 -

- Increases Inventory Reduction Target for Fiscal 2026 to $150 Million
(from $100+ Million Previously) -

- Updates Modeling Assumptions for Fiscal 2026 -

WEST FARGO, N.D., Nov. 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Titan Machinery Inc. (Nasdaq: TITN) ("Titan" or the "Company"), a leading network of full-service agricultural and construction equipment stores, today reported financial results for the fiscal third quarter ended October 31, 2025.

"Our third quarter results demonstrate continued progress on our inventory optimization initiatives, with cumulative inventory reductions of $98 million through the first nine months of the fiscal year, positioning us to increase our reduction target from $100 million up to $150 million for the full year fiscal 2026," stated Bryan Knutson, Titan's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Equipment margins beat expectations for the quarter driven by a more favorable sales mix and our improved inventory position, though we expect margins to moderate a bit in the fourth quarter as we look to continue our inventory optimization efforts. Additionally, as part of our broader footprint optimization strategy, we made select divestitures both domestically and in Germany, allowing us to focus our resources in markets where we can better leverage our operational expertise while delivering improved returns for our shareholders. Despite a challenging environment for the agriculture industry, our parts and service businesses continue to provide critical stability — keeping us closely engaged with our customers. We remain focused on positioning the business to emerge from this cycle stronger and better prepared for improved market conditions."

Fiscal 2026 Third Quarter Results

Consolidated Results

For the third quarter of fiscal 2026, revenue was $644.5 million compared to $679.8 million in the third quarter last year. Equipment revenue was $459.9 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to $495.1 million in the third quarter last year. Parts revenue was $122.3 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to $121.1 million in the third quarter last year. Service revenue was $48.9 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to $51.1 million in the third quarter last year. Rental and other revenue was $13.3 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to $12.5 million in the third quarter last year.

Gross profit for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 was $111.0 million, compared to $110.5 million in the third quarter last year. The Company's gross profit margin was 17.2% in the third quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to 16.3% in the third quarter last year. The third quarter of fiscal 2026 included a partial accrual for expected benefits related to manufacturer incentive plans of $3.7 million; there were no related accruals in the prior year comparative period.

Operating expenses were $100.5 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to $98.8 million in the third quarter last year. Operating expense as a percentage of revenue was 15.6% for the third quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to 14.5% of revenue in the third quarter last year.

Floorplan interest expense and other interest expense was $10.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to $14.3 million for the same period last year. Floorplan interest expense decreased in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to the same period last year due to lower interest-bearing inventory levels.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2026, net income was $1.2 million, with earnings per diluted share of $0.05, compared to net income of $1.7 million, with earnings per diluted share of $0.07, for the same period last year.

EBITDA in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was $23.4 million, compared to $24.7 million in the third quarter last year.

Segment Results

Agriculture Segment - Revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 was $420.9 million, compared to $482.0 million in the third quarter last year, reflecting a same-store sales decrease of 12.3%. The revenue decrease resulted from a softening of demand for equipment, driven by lower commodity prices and sustained high interest rates, both of which are reducing farmer profitability. Pre-tax income for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 was $6.1 million, which includes the aforementioned $3.7 million accrual for benefits from manufacturer incentives, compared to $1.8 million of pre-tax income in the third quarter last year.

Construction Segment - Revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 was $76.7 million, compared to $85.3 million in the third quarter last year, reflecting a same-store sales decrease of 10.1%. The decrease was driven by lower equipment sales. Pre-tax loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 was $1.7 million, compared to $0.9 million in the third quarter last year.

Europe Segment - Revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 was $117.0 million, compared to $62.4 million in the third quarter last year, which includes a $6.1 million positive impact related to foreign currency fluctuations. Net of the effect of these foreign currency fluctuations, revenue increased $48.5 million, or 77.8%, largely driven by European Union stimulus programs in Romania. Pre-tax income for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 was $3.5 million, compared to pre-tax loss of $1.2 million in the third quarter last year.

Australia Segment - Revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 was $29.9 million, compared to $50.1 million in the third quarter last year, which includes a $0.6 million negative impact related to foreign currency fluctuations. Net of the effect of these foreign currency fluctuations, revenue decreased $19.6 million or 39.1%. The decrease was driven by the normalization of sprayer deliveries in fiscal 2026 after having caught up on a multi-year backlog of deliveries during fiscal 2025. Pre-tax loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 was $3.8 million, compared to $0.3 million in the third quarter last year.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

Cash at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2026 was $48.8 million. Total inventories decreased by $97.9 million to $1.0 billion as of third quarter end, as compared to January 31, 2025. Equipment inventories decreased by $96.9 million in the year-to-date period ended October 31, 2025. Outstanding floorplan payables were $739.6 million on $1.5 billion total available floorplan and working capital lines of credit as of October 31, 2025, compared to $755.7 million outstanding floorplan payables as of January 31, 2025.

For the nine months ended October 31, 2025, the Company's net cash provided by operating activities was $83.9 million, compared to net cash used for operating activities of $56.2 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2024. The change in cash from operating activities was primarily attributable to changes in inventory and a changing mix in floorplan financing, which was partially offset by a decrease in net income for the first nine months of fiscal 2026 compared to the prior year period.

Additional Management Commentary

Mr. Knutson continued, “Equipment margins in the third quarter were stronger than previously anticipated and this improvement has been reflected in our updated guidance. However, this improvement is being offset by an anticipated recognition of a non-cash valuation allowance that is expected to be recognized in the fourth quarter and result in an increase in our tax expense by approximately ($0.35) to ($0.45) per share, reflecting a variable that was not considered in our previous assumptions. We are also updating our segment revenue expectations to reflect year-to-date performance as we head into the final quarter of the fiscal year. This updated outlook reflects what we've been able to accomplish in a challenging demand environment, despite industry volumes below prior downturn levels. I am pleased that we've made significant progress on our inventory reduction initiatives as well as our footprint optimization, all of which position the business for improved performance as we move into fiscal 2027.”

Fiscal 2026 Modeling Assumptions

The following are the Company's current expectations for fiscal 2026 modeling assumptions:

  Previous Assumptions Current AssumptionsSegment Revenue (1)    Agriculture Down 15% - Down 20% Down 15% - Down 20%Construction Down 3% - Down 8% Down 5% - Down 10%Europe Up 30% - Up 40% Up 35% - Up 40%Australia Down 20% - Down 25% Down 20% - Down 25%     Adjusted Diluted Loss Per Share (2)(3) ($1.50) - ($2.00) ($1.50) - ($2.00)(1) Includes the full year impact of the Farmers Implement and Irrigation and Bellevue Machinery acquisitions, which closed in May 2025 and October 2025, respectively, which are partially offset by the divestitures of our Great Falls, Moses Lake, and Marshall, MO locations in August, September, and October 2025, respectfully.
(2) Includes the anticipated recognition of a non-cash valuation allowance on the Company's deferred tax assets within its Domestic business that was not previously forecasted, which is now expected to be recognized in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share.

This press release and the attached financial tables contain a reconciliation of certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined under SEC rules. As required by Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules, the Company has provided a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure in the schedule included in this press release, other than Adjusted Diluted Loss per Share for Fiscal 2026. The Company believes that non-GAAP financial measures, when reviewed in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, can provide more information to assist investors in evaluating current period performance and in assessing future performance. For these reasons, internal management reporting also includes non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not superior to or as a substitute for, the GAAP financial measures presented in this release and the Company's financial statements and other publicly filed reports. Non-GAAP financial measures presented in this release may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliations of any adjusted financial measures used in this release to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. The reconciliation is attached to this release. The table included in the Non-GAAP Reconciliations section reconcile EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted (Loss) Earnings per Share for the periods presented, to their respective most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of Adjusted Diluted Loss Per Share for fiscal 2026 is not available without unreasonable effort due to the variability and low visibility of factors that may impact comparable GAAP measure.

Burlington Stores, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2025 Earnings stocknewsapi
BURL
Total sales grew 7% and comparable store sales increased 1% Net income was $105 million, and diluted EPS was $1.63 Excluding certain expenses associated with bankruptcy acquired leases:  Adjusted EBIT margin increased 60 basis points Adjusted EPS increased 16% to $1.80  Increasing full year Adjusted EPS guidance to $9.69 to $9.89; guidance excludes anticipated expenses associated with bankruptcy acquired leases  BURLINGTON, N.J., Nov. 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Burlington Stores, Inc. (NYSE: BURL), a nationally recognized off-price retailer of high-quality, branded apparel, footwear, accessories, and merchandise for the home at everyday low prices, today announced its results for the third quarter ended November 1, 2025.

Michael O’Sullivan, CEO, stated, “Total sales increased 7% in the third quarter, while comparable store sales increased 1%. Traffic to our stores fell off significantly after the back-to-school period driven by unseasonably warm temperatures in our major markets. Our comp trend then picked up to mid-single-digits in mid-October once the weather cooled, and that strong trend has continued through the first three weeks of November.”

Mr. O’Sullivan continued, “We were very pleased with our strong margin and earnings performance in the third quarter. We achieved an Adjusted EBIT margin increase versus last year of 60 basis points and grew Adjusted EPS by 16%. Our merchandising and operating teams did an outstanding job mitigating the negative margin impact from tariffs. We are passing along all of this third quarter upside to our full year 2025 earnings guidance.” 

Mr. O’Sullivan went on, “Based on our favorable margin and expense trends, we are also raising our earnings guidance for the fourth quarter. This is driving an additional increase in our full year 2025 earnings guidance. Although we are pleased with our recent comp trends, in the coming weeks we will be up against strong comparisons from last year, so at this point we are maintaining our previously issued 0% to 2% fourth quarter comp guidance.”   

Mr. O’Sullivan concluded, “Stepping back and looking at the longer-term drivers of our business, we are very pleased with our new store opening program and performance, our weather adjusted comp growth, and the rapid progress we are making in expanding our margin. As discussed previously, we expect our operating income to grow to approximately $1.6B by 2028. At this point, we are tracking very well against this earnings target.”

Outlook
For the full Fiscal Year 2025 (the 52-weeks ending January 31, 2026), the Company now expects: 

Total sales to increase by approximately 8% on top of the 11% increase for the 52-weeks ended February 1, 2025; this assumes comparable store sales will increase in the range of 1% to 2%, on top of the 4% increase for the 52-weeks ended February 1, 2025;Capital expenditures, net of landlord allowances, to be approximately $950 million;To open 104 net new stores; Depreciation and amortization to be approximately $395 million; Adjusted EBIT margin to increase in the range of 60 to 70 basis points versus the 52-weeks ended February 1, 2025; excludes $34 million of anticipated expenses associated with bankruptcy acquired leases in Fiscal 2025 and $16 million incurred in Fiscal 2024;Net interest expense to be approximately $50 million; An Adjusted Effective Tax Rate of approximately 25%; andAdjusted EPS in the range of $9.69 to $9.89, as compared to $8.35 of Adjusted EPS last year; excludes $26 million, net of tax, of anticipated expenses associated with bankruptcy acquired leases in Fiscal 2025 and $12 million incurred in Fiscal 2024. This assumes a fully diluted share count of approximately 64 million shares. For the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2025 (the 13 weeks ending January 31, 2026), the Company now expects:

Total sales to increase in the range of 7% to 9%; this assumes comparable store sales will increase in the range of 0% to 2% versus the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2024;Adjusted EBIT margin to increase 30 to 50 basis points versus the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2024; excludes approximately $7 million of anticipated expenses associated with bankruptcy acquired leases in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2025 and $5 million incurred in the prior period;An effective tax rate of approximately 26%; and Adjusted EPS in the range of $4.50 to $4.70, as compared to $4.13 in Adjusted EPS last year; excludes $5 million of anticipated expenses, net of tax, associated with bankruptcy acquired leases in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2025 and $4 million incurred in the prior period. The Company has not presented a quantitative reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures set out above to their most comparable GAAP financial measures because it would require the Company to create estimated ranges on a GAAP basis, which would entail unreasonable effort. Adjustments required to reconcile forward-looking non-GAAP measures cannot be predicted with reasonable certainty but may include, among others, costs related to debt amendments, loss on extinguishment of debt, and impairment charges, as well as the tax effect of such items. Some or all of those adjustments could be significant. 

Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The foregoing discussion of the Company’s operating results includes references to Adjusted SG&A, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings per Share (or Adjusted EPS), Adjusted EBIT (or Adjusted Operating Income), Adjusted EBIT Margin (or Adjusted Operating Margin), and Adjusted Effective Tax Rate. The Company believes these supplemental measures are useful in evaluating the performance of our business and provide greater transparency into our results of operations. In particular, we believe that excluding certain items that may vary substantially in frequency and magnitude from what we consider to be our core operating results are useful supplemental measures that assist investors and management in evaluating our ability to generate earnings and leverage sales, and to more readily compare core operating results between past and future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures are defined and reconciled to the most comparable GAAP measures later in this document.   

Third Quarter 2025 Conference Call

(Unaudited)
(Amounts in thousands, except per share data)

The following tables calculate the Company’s Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted SG&A and Adjusted Effective Tax Rate, all of which are considered non-GAAP financial measures. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted Net Income is defined as net income, exclusive of the following items, if applicable: (i) net favorable lease costs; (ii) loss on extinguishment of debt; (iii) costs related to debt amendments; (iv) impairment charges; (v) amounts related to certain litigation matters; and (vi) other unusual or non-recurring expenses, losses, charges or gains, all of which are tax effected to arrive at Adjusted Net Income.

Adjusted EPS is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by the diluted weighted average shares outstanding, as defined in the table below.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income, exclusive of the following items, if applicable: (i) interest expense; (ii) interest income; (iii) loss on extinguishment of debt; (iv) costs related to debt amendments; (v) income tax expense; (vi) depreciation and amortization; (vi) net favorable lease costs (viii) impairment charges; (ix) amounts related to certain litigation matters; and (x) other unusual or non-recurring expenses, losses, charges or gains.

Adjusted EBIT (or Adjusted Operating Income) is defined as net income, exclusive of the following items, if applicable: (i) interest expense; (ii) interest income; (iii) loss on extinguishment of debt; (iv) costs related to debt amendments; (v) income tax expense; (vi) impairment charges; (vii) net favorable lease costs; (viii) amounts related to certain litigation matters; and (ix) other unusual or non-recurring expenses, losses, charges or gains.

Adjusted EBIT Margin (or Adjusted Operating Margin) is defined as Adjusted EBIT divided by net sales.

Adjusted SG&A is defined as SG&A less product sourcing costs, favorable lease costs and amounts related to certain litigation matters.

Adjusted Effective Tax Rate is defined as the GAAP effective tax rate less the tax effect of the reconciling items to arrive at Adjusted Net Income (footnote (g) in the table below).

The Company presents Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBIT (or Adjusted Operating Income), Adjusted EBIT Margin (or Adjusted Operating Margin), Adjusted SG&A and Adjusted Effective Tax Rate, because it believes they are useful supplemental measures in evaluating the performance of the Company’s business and provide greater transparency into the results of operations. In particular, the Company believes that excluding certain items that may vary substantially in frequency and magnitude from what the Company considers to be its core operating results are useful supplemental measures that assist in evaluating the Company’s ability to generate earnings and leverage sales, and to more readily compare core operating results between past and future periods.

The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures provide investors helpful information with respect to the Company’s operations and financial condition. Other companies in the retail industry may calculate these non-GAAP measures differently such that the Company’s calculation may not be directly comparable.

The following table shows the Company’s reconciliation of net income to Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS for the periods indicated:

Despite potential headwinds from tariffs, companies have successfully protected margins, and GDP growth could reach an annualized 3%. The report notes that “expectations keep rising, the bar keeps going higher, and corporate America continues to clear it handily.

Looking forward, AI-driven productivity is expected to be a primary tailwind, with S&P 500 operating margins forecast to exceed 17.5% within a year.

However, the report warns that current valuations reflect significant optimism, leading to muted price reactions even for earnings beats. Consequently, LPL maintains a “tactical neutral stance on equities”.

While acknowledging near-term risks, they believe the broader market’s long-term uptrend remains intact, potentially creating a “dip buying opportunity between now and year-end”.

Strategically, the committee continues to favor large-cap growth stocks and the communication services sector, highlighting that the “earnings growth gap between mega cap tech and the rest of the market is still huge”.

CEO and CFO Comments

“In the third quarter of 2025, the Company delivered 87,071 smart electric vehicles, representing a year-over-year increase of 40.8%. The strong momentum was driven by the all-around competitiveness of our NIO, ONVO, and FIREFLY brand offerings, which continue to resonate with users across their respective market segments,” said William Bin Li, founder, chairman, and chief executive officer of NIO. “We are working closely with supply chain partners to ramp up production and expect total deliveries in the fourth quarter to reach between 120,000 and 125,000 units, reflecting a year-on-year increase of 65.1% to 72.0% and setting a new quarterly record.”

"The All-New NIO ES8 has set the fastest record for delivering over 10,000 units among BEVs priced above RMB400,000 in China, while the ONVO L90 has remained the top-selling large BEV SUV for three consecutive months, and FIREFLY has quickly secured a leading position in the small smart high-end electric car market since its first deliveries. Underpinned by our core smart EV technologies, a complementary multi-brand product portfolio, a comprehensive and convenient battery swapping and charging network, as well as a vibrant and growing user community, the Company has entered a new cycle of accelerated growth,” added William Bin Li.

“Through continuous cost optimization and a greater contribution from higher-margin vehicle deliveries, our vehicle gross margin sequentially improved to 14.7% in Q3 2025, and the overall gross margin reached the highest level in the past three years, underscoring the enhanced profitability of our products and services,” added Stanley Yu Qu, NIO’s chief financial officer. “Our continued efforts on operational efficiency improvement across R&D, sales and service also drove a quarter-on-quarter reduction of over 30% in non-GAAP operating losses, continuing the positive trend from the first half of 2025. Furthermore, the business generated positive operating cash flow and positive results of operating cashflow net off the capital expenditures during the quarter. Bolstered further by the US$1.16 billion equity offering, our strengthened balance sheet provides a solid foundation for the path toward sustained, long-term growth.”

Revenues

Total revenues in the third quarter of 2025 were RMB21,793.9 million (US$3,061.4 million), representing an increase of 16.7% from the third quarter of 2024 and an increase of 14.7% from the second quarter of 2025.Vehicle sales in the third quarter of 2025 were RMB19,202.3 million (US$2,697.3 million), representing an increase of 15.0% from the third quarter of 2024 and an increase of 19.0% from the second quarter of 2025. The increase in vehicle sales over the third quarter of 2024 was mainly due to an increase in delivery volume, partially offset by the lower average selling price as a result of changes in product mix. The increase in vehicle sales over the second quarter of 2025 was mainly attributable to an increase in delivery volume.Other sales in the third quarter of 2025 were RMB2,591.6 million (US$364.0 million), representing an increase of 31.2% from the third quarter of 2024 and a decrease of 9.8% from the second quarter of 2025. The increase in other sales over the third quarter of 2024 was mainly due to i) the increase in revenues from sales of used cars and technical research and development services, and ii) the increase in sales of parts, accessories and after-sales vehicle services as a result of the continued growth in the number of users. The decrease in other sales over the second quarter of 2025 was mainly due to the decrease in revenues from sales of used cars and technical research and development services, partially offset by the increase in sales of parts, accessories and after-sales vehicle services, and provision of power solutions, as a result of the continued growth in the number of users. Cost of Sales and Gross Margin

Cost of sales in the third quarter of 2025 was RMB18,769.3 million (US$2,636.5 million), representing an increase of 12.6% from the third quarter of 2024 and an increase of 9.7% from the second quarter of 2025. The increase in cost of sales over the third quarter of 2024 and the second quarter of 2025 was mainly attributable to the increased delivery volume, partially offset by the decreased material cost per vehicle.
Gross profit in the third quarter of 2025 was RMB3,024.6 million (US$424.9 million), representing an increase of 50.7% from the third quarter of 2024 and an increase of 59.4% from the second quarter of 2025.Gross margin in the third quarter of 2025 was 13.9%, compared with 10.7% in the third quarter of 2024 and 10.0% in the second quarter of 2025. The increase in gross margin over the third quarter of 2024 was mainly attributable to the i) increased vehicle margin, and ii) the increase in the gross margin of sales of parts, accessories and after-sales vehicle services as a result of cost reduction and efficiency improvement. The increase in gross margin over the second quarter of 2025 was mainly attributable to the increased vehicle margin.Vehicle margin in the third quarter of 2025 was 14.7%, compared with 13.1% in the third quarter of 2024 and 10.3% in the second quarter of 2025. The increase in vehicle margin from the third quarter of 2024 and the second quarter of 2025 was mainly attributable to decreased material cost per unit, which is primarily driven by the Company’s comprehensive cost reduction efforts. Operating Expenses

Research and development expenses in the third quarter of 2025 were RMB2,390.6 million (US$335.8 million), representing a decrease of 28.0% from the third quarter of 2024 and a decrease of 20.5% from the second quarter of 2025.

The decrease in research and development expenses over the third quarter of 2024 and the second quarter of 2025 was mainly due to the decreased personnel costs in research and development functions primarily as a result of organizational optimization, and the decreased design and development costs resulting from different stages of development for new products and technologies.Selling, general and administrative expenses in the third quarter of 2025 were RMB4,184.7 million (US$587.8 million), representing an increase of 1.8% from the third quarter of 2024 and an increase of 5.5% from the second quarter of 2025.

Selling, general and administrative expenses remained relatively stable compared with the third quarter of 2024. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses over the second quarter of 2025 was mainly attributable to the increase in sales and marketing activities associated with new product launches.

Balance Sheet

Balance of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investment and long-term time deposits was RMB36.7 billion (US$5.1 billion) as of September 30, 2025. We have been incurring loss since inception. Although we generated positive operating cash flows for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025, we had negative operating cash flows in the first two quarters of 2025 and our current liabilities exceeded current assets as of September 30, 2025. Based on our going concern and liquidity assessment, which considers our business plan including revenue growth from the sales of existing and new vehicle models, continuous optimization of operation efficiency to improve operating cash flows, working capital management, the ability to raise funds from banks under available credit quotas and other sources when needed, and uncertainties as to the successful execution of our business plan, we believe that our financial resources, including our available cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments, cash generated from operating activities and funds from available credit quotas and other sources will be sufficient to support our continuous operations in the ordinary course of business for the next twelve months. Business Outlook

For the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company expects:

Deliveries of vehicles to be between 120,000 and 125,000 vehicles, representing an increase of approximately 65.1% to 72.0% from the same quarter of 2024.Total revenues to be between RMB32,758 million (US$4,602 million) and RMB34,039 million (US$4,781 million), representing an increase of approximately 66.3% to 72.8% from the same quarter of 2024. This business outlook reflects the Company’s current and preliminary view on the business situation and market condition, which is subject to change.

Non-GAAP Disclosure

The Company uses non-GAAP measures, such as adjusted cost of sales (non-GAAP), adjusted research and development expenses (non-GAAP), adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses (non-GAAP), adjusted loss from operations (non-GAAP), adjusted net loss (non-GAAP), adjusted net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders (non-GAAP) and adjusted basic and diluted net loss per share/ADS (non-GAAP), in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. The Company defines adjusted cost of sales (non-GAAP), adjusted research and development expenses (non-GAAP), adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses (non-GAAP) and adjusted loss from operations (non-GAAP) and adjusted net loss (non-GAAP) as cost of sales, research and development expenses, selling, general and administrative expenses, loss from operations and net loss excluding share-based compensation expenses and organizational optimization charges. The Company defines adjusted net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders (non-GAAP), adjusted basic and diluted net loss per share/ADS (non-GAAP) as net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and basic and diluted net loss per share/ADS excluding share-based compensation expenses, organizational optimization charges and accretion on redeemable non-controlling interests to redemption value. By excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses, organizational optimization charges and accretion on redeemable non-controlling interests to redemption value, which are either non-cash or not indicative of the Company’s ordinary or ongoing operations due to their size or nature, the Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in its business and enhance the overall understanding of the Company’s past performance and future prospects. The Company also believes that the non-GAAP financial measures allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by the Company’s management in its financial and operational decision-making.

The non-GAAP financial measures are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP methods of accounting and reporting used by other companies. The non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and when assessing the Company’s operating performance, investors should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for net loss or other consolidated statements of comprehensive loss data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

The Company mitigates these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP performance measures, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company’s performance.

For more information on the non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned “Unaudited Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results” set forth at the end of this press release.

Campbell's soup stock crashes over alleged ‘3D printed meat' stocknewsapi
CPB
Campbell’s (NASDAQ: CPB) stock crashed more than 3% on Monday, November 24, ​​after a former employee alleged in a lawsuit that the vice president and chief information security officer, Martin Bally, was mocking “poor people,” ridiculing the company’s products, and making racist comments about colleagues.

The accusations center on an audio recording that allegedly contains proof not only of a hostile work environment but also the firing of the whistleblower who reported the incident. Moreover, the executive’s comments on “bioengineered meat that came from a 3-D printer” have also sparked a lot of controversy among environmentally conscious investors.

Amid the growing pressure, Campbell’s shares are down more than 27% year-to-date (YTD), and are trading at $30.53 in pre-market as CPB stock slides further.

The negative sentiment has also resulted in a social media boycott, in particular due to the company’s association with backers such as BlackRock and Vanguard, who constitute some of Campbell’s biggest share owners.

Campbell Soup Company faces misconduct charges 
Robert Garza, a former cybersecurity analyst, says he started recording what was to be a routine salary meeting with Bally in late 2024 after sensing “something wasn’t right.” According to the lawsuit filed in Wayne County Circuit Court, the vice president started mocking the customers, claiming the company made products for “poor people” and questioning who would buy them at all.

The filing further alleges Bally launched into racist remarks about Indian colleagues, calling them “idiots” who “didn’t know anything” and couldn’t think independently. In addition, the recording allegedly has Bally admitting he used to arrive at work having consumed drugs.

Campbell’s has confirmed that Bally has been placed on leave pending an internal investigation while rejecting the claims about its ingredients.

“We are proud of the food we make, the people who make it and the high-quality ingredients we use. The comments on the recording are not only inaccurate—they are patently absurd,” a company spokesperson told Newsweek.

The lawsuit remains active, and a court ruling will ultimately determine whether any legal consequences stem from the behavior detailed in the complaint, a decision likely to impact share prices further.

AVGO Stock To $700 Amid Google Partnership? stocknewsapi

Broadcom's stock (NASDAQ: AVGO) just jumped 11% on November 24, fueled by enthusiasm surrounding its Google AI chip partnership and the successful launch of Alphabet's new Gemini 3 model. The stock has already more than doubled over the past year, currently trading around $380. Hence, the obvious question arises: what would be necessary to achieve another doubling?

Let’s examine the numbers and the catalysts that could facilitate this. However, if you desire an upside with less volatility than owning an individual stock like AVGO, consider the High Quality Portfolio. It has effectively outperformed its benchmark—a mix of the S&P 500, Russell, and S&P MidCap indexes—and has achieved returns exceeding 105% since its launch. What accounts for this? As a collective, HQ Portfolio stocks delivered better returns with reduced risk compared to the benchmark index; it's a smoother ride, as highlighted in HQ Portfolio performance metrics.

The Math Behind a DoubleIs it possible for earnings to double in three years? Yes, and here’s a clear path to achieving that. Broadcom currently has approximately $60 billion in trailing revenue, with an impressive adjusted net margin exceeding 50% and a 32% GAAP net margin. This indicates that each new dollar of revenue translates into approximately 50 cents in profit — a striking attribute that fosters exponential earnings growth.

If revenue rises to $120 billion by 2028 (primarily fueled by AI chips and VMware subscriptions), we can expect adjusted EPS to increase from around $6.29 today to over $12. This near-doubling of earnings serves as the foundation.

However, earnings growth alone doesn’t increase stock values dollar-for-dollar. What about the valuation?

Exactly. The stock is currently trading at over 60 times its trailing earnings — a high multiple that reflects Broadcom's premier positioning. If this multiple remains at 60 times, then $12 in EPS translates to a $720 stock price. And if the AI narrative gains even more momentum? That multiple could extend, driving the stock price even higher. Take a look at our dashboard on AVGO Stock Valuation Ratios.

What Could Actually Drive That Revenue Growth?The Gemini 3 catalyst is intriguing, but is it truly a transformative element?

It serves primarily as a validation signal. Google's success with Gemini 3 indicates that AI models are transitioning from laboratory trials to large-scale production deployment. As Alphabet integrates advanced AI across search, cloud, and consumer products, it requires immense inference capacity. That’s where Broadcom’s custom TPU chips play a crucial role.

Here's the key point: inference has emerged as the growth engine. Training AI models was the initial phase — creating those models necessitates massive computing resources. However, inference — the actual execution of those models billions of times daily for real users — is where the long-term, sustained demand exists. Broadcom leads in this stage due to its custom silicon and networking solutions optimized for high-volume, power-efficient inference tasks.

What is the potential size of this inference opportunity?

Consider that Broadcom already has four confirmed hyperscale customers, including Google and Meta, for custom AI chips. As these corporations expand their AI services, they will require continuous generations of faster, more efficient chips. The technical barriers are significant — designing custom accelerators demands multi-year engineering collaborations and deep integration. Once you are established, it becomes difficult to move away.

The recent upgrades by analysts aren't merely responding to a single data point. They are acknowledging that Broadcom occupies a vital junction: hyperscalers require custom silicon to set their AI platforms apart, and Broadcom stands as one of the few firms with the capacity to deliver at scale.

Beyond AI Chips: The Networking AdvantageAre chips only part of the picture?

Indeed, this is where Broadcom’s positioning becomes particularly compelling. Constructing an AI cluster is not solely about processors — it necessitates ultra-high-speed networking to connect thousands of accelerators. Broadcom’s Tomahawk Ultra switches can connect up to 1,024 accelerators within a single rack, far exceeding its rivals. These networking chips constitute essential infrastructure and are being produced in volume now.

As hyperscalers develop larger AI clusters (some nearing 100,000+ GPUs), the networking infrastructure grows even more essential. Broadcom’s advantage in co-packaged silicon photonics — technology that enhances data transfer speed and efficiency — gives it a sustained competitive advantage in this rapidly expanding sector.

The VMware Wild CardVMware seems nearly overlooked in the AI discussion. Does it really matter?

It is extremely significant for the doubling thesis as it offers a second, independent growth engine with distinct attributes. While AI is high-growth but concentrated, VMware provides stable, recurring software revenue with outstanding margins.

The integration is progressing ahead of schedule. VMware, part of the infrastructure software segment, experienced a 17% growth year-over-year, rising to $6.8 billion in Q3, and Broadcom is effectively transitioning customers to subscription models. This isn’t just about top-line growth — it’s about converting perpetual licenses into predictable annual recurring revenue with minimal additional costs. The cash flow from VMware will be substantial and durable, supporting both reinvestment in AI R&D and shareholder returns.

MORE FOR YOU

How does this contribute to the stock doubling?

It reduces the risk of the overall narrative. If AI chip demand were the sole engine driving Broadcom, any slowdown would severely impact the stock. However, with VMware generating consistent cash flow, Broadcom can endure fluctuations in semiconductor cycles. This blend of high-growth AI and stable software is precisely what supports a sustained premium multiple.

The Risks You Can’t IgnoreWhat could disrupt this trajectory?

Three factors warrant caution.

First, customer concentration. Broadcom's AI revenue relies on a few hyperscalers. If even one customer reduces spending or brings more chip design in-house, it could significantly affect the numbers. These collaborations are deep, yet they are also concentrated.Second, competition is escalating. Marvell is fiercely competitive in custom silicon (See – Marvell Stock: Overlooked AI Winner?). NVIDIA isn’t remaining idle either. Related – The $5 Trillion AI Risk Sitting in the Taiwan Strait. Furthermore, every hyperscaler is investing in its chip teams. Broadcom's advantages are substantial, but not unassailable. Any indication of market share loss or price pressure would negatively impact both earnings and the valuation multiple.Third, this stock is prone to volatility. Broadcom has experienced 50% drawdowns during broader market corrections. It fell more sharply than the S&P 500 during both the COVID-19 crash and the 2022 inflation sell-off. Should we face a recession or a freeze in tech spending, Broadcom will likely feel the impact acutely.Hence, investing in a single stock without thorough analysis can be risky. Consider the Trefis Reinforced Value (RV) Portfolio, which has outperformed its all-cap stocks benchmark (a combination of the S&P 500, S&P mid-cap, and Russell 2000 benchmark indices) to generate robust returns for investors. What accounts for this? The quarterly rebalanced mix of large-, mid-, and small-cap RV Portfolio stocks has offered a responsive manner to take advantage of positive market conditions while limiting losses when markets decline, as outlined in RV Portfolio performance metrics.

The Bottom Line: Can It Double?So what’s the realistic scenario here?

If Broadcom successfully executes on AI — acquiring more customers, increasing Tomahawk Ultra production, and sustaining its inference edge — while concurrently enhancing VMware’s recurring revenue, the pathway to $700+ over the next few years appears plausible. The rally spurred by Gemini 3 illustrates that the market is closely monitoring these catalysts.

The numbers add up: near-doubling earnings alongside a consistent 60x multiple could lead you there. And if AI infrastructure spending surpasses expectations, or if VMware margins grow faster than projected, the stock may exceed $800.

Is it worth the risk?

For investors with a three-year outlook who can handle 30-50% drawdowns, Broadcom presents a legitimate opportunity to double their investment. The company is situated at the crossroads of two substantial trends — AI infrastructure and cloud software subscriptions — with outstanding execution and profitability.

However, you would be investing in volatility along with growth. This isn't a steady compounder; it represents a high-beta play on AI capital expenditures. If that investment cycle falters, or if key customers change direction, the potential downside is significant. The question isn't whether Broadcom can double — it's whether you can navigate the inevitable turbulence to reach that goal.

JNJ Stock vs. PFE Stock: Which Pharmaceutical Giant Is A Better Buy? stocknewsapi

The pharmaceutical powerhouse Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) has significantly outperformed its competitor Pfizer (NYSE: PFE) this year. JNJ’s stock has risen by almost 45%, whereas PFE has declined by 6%, greatly exceeding the S&P 500's 13% increase. This difference in performance results from Johnson & Johnson's strong strategic execution, in contrast to the challenges Pfizer is facing in a post-pandemic environment. We believe that JNJ stock continues to be a more favorable option compared to Pfizer. We will explore the details in the sections below. However, if you are looking for an investment with less volatility than holding individual stocks like JNJ or PFE, consider the High Quality Portfolio. This portfolio has consistently outperformed its benchmark—a mix of the S&P 500, Russell, and S&P MidCap indexes—and has achieved returns of over 105% since its launch. Why is this the case? Collectively, HQ Portfolio stocks have delivered better returns with lower risk compared to the benchmark index; they have provided a smoother investment experience, as demonstrated by the HQ Portfolio performance metrics.

Johnson & Johnson's Growth DriversThe rise in JNJ's stock is fueled by several positive factors:

Strong Earnings & Outlook: JNJ reported impressive Q3 2025 earnings, exceeding sales and profit projections while also raising its full-year guidance. This indicates management's confidence in ongoing growth.Strategic Acquisitions: Important acquisitions, including Halda Therapeutics (focused on prostate cancer) and Intra-Cellular Therapies (in the neurology sector), have enhanced and strengthened JNJ's high-growth portfolio.Portfolio Focus: The planned separation of the orthopedics division (DePuy Synthes) is viewed positively, enabling JNJ to concentrate on more rapidly growing, higher-margin fields such as cardiovascular and surgical technologies.Segment Strength: The Innovative Medicines division (driven by drugs such as Darzalex and Tremfya) and the MedTech division (supported by new launches and acquisitions like Abiomed and Shockwave) both exhibited consistent and robust operational growth.Pfizer's DownturnPfizer's stock downturn is mainly attributable to:

Decreasing COVID-19 Demand: A decline in demand for its key COVID-19 products, Comirnaty and Paxlovid, compared to sales during the pandemic has resulted in a notable revenue gap.Growth Concerns: Ongoing investor worries regarding future growth are amplified by patent expirations, a complicated regulatory landscape (particularly around vaccines), and the recent withdrawal of a weight-loss medication candidate.On the whole, JNJ stock demonstrates superior revenue growth performance across significant timeframes, improved margins, and a relatively lower valuation compared to PFE stock, indicating that investing in JNJ might be more beneficial.

JNJ's quarterly revenue growth was 6.8%, compared to PFE's -5.9%.Additionally, its revenue growth for the Last 12 Months came in at 5.1%, surpassing PFE's 3.9%.JNJ also exhibits stronger profitability across both periods, with an LTM margin of 26.2% and a 3-year average of 26.4%.See how Johnson & Johnson's financials compare with its peers, including Pfizer.

These distinctions become even more apparent when examining the financials side by side. The table highlights how JNJ's fundamentals compare to those of PFE concerning growth, margins, momentum, and valuation multiples.

Google stock just $150 billion away from joining $4 trillion market cap club stocknewsapi
GOOG GOOGL
Alphabet’s (NASDAQ: GOOGL) late-November rally has pushed the company to the brink of joining the exclusive $4 trillion market-cap club. 

Based on its current valuation of $3.844 trillion, Alphabet needs roughly $156 billion in additional market value to cross the threshold.

Notably, the Google parent company closed Monday’s session at a new high of $318.47, up over 6% for the day.

Notably, if Alphabet reaches a $4 trillion market cap, its stock would trade at approximately $331 per share, meaning the equity needs an additional $13 from its most recent closing price to reach this level.

At the same time, the valuation surge has widened Alphabet’s lead over other major tech names. In this case, the combined market capitalizations of Meta Platforms and Tesla total $2.934 trillion, still trailing Alphabet. 

Should Google cross the $4 trillion mark, it would join Apple and Nvidia as the only companies currently in that valuation tier.

Why Google stock is rallying
The surge in Google’s stock has been driven by a series of catalysts that began accelerating in mid-November. For instance, the launch of Gemini 3 on November 18, Google’s most advanced AI system to date, triggered a renewed wave of investor confidence.

The model is now embedded across Search, the Gemini app, and Google’s developer ecosystem, reinforcing the view that Google is strengthening its position in the generative-AI race.

Momentum intensified after November 20, when major Wall Street analysts issued upgraded outlooks reflecting stronger conviction in Google’s AI execution. The upgrades followed a robust third-quarter performance, including rapid expansion in Google Cloud and resilient Search and YouTube advertising revenue. 

During the quarter, the technology company posted revenue of $102.35 billion versus $99.89 billion expected, and adjusted earnings per share of $3.10, well above the $2.33 forecast.

YouTube ad revenue came in at $10.26 billion, while Google Cloud brought in $15.15 billion, reflecting strong demand for AI-driven services. Traffic acquisition costs were $14.87 billion. Alphabet also raised its 2025 capital expenditure guidance to $91–$93 billion, citing growth across its businesses and robust cloud demand.

Meanwhile, recent legal outcomes have eased concerns about potential structural breakups, giving investors clearer visibility into Google’s operating landscape.

Steve Picciotti’s Amazon.com AMZN 2.53%increase; green up pointing triangle purchases in April included an $8 USB cable, a $90 beard trimmer and a $45,000 Hyundai Santa Fe SUV.

Picciotti is the sort of die-hard customer the company is banking on to prove that people are finally ready to buy cars and Chanel handbags from the same place they get toilet paper and generic batteries.

Why Google's Soaring Stock Is Defying Fears of an AI Bubble stocknewsapi
GOOG GOOGL
Someone forgot to tell Google about the whole “AI bubble” thing.

In a brutal month for tech stocks—especially those closely associated with the artificial-intelligence race—the internet-search giant has solidly bucked the trend. Parent company Alphabet’s GOOGL 6.31%increase; green up pointing triangle stock has jumped around 16% since the Nasdaq peaked on Oct. 29, adding to a run that began in early September when the company won a court ruling that effectively ended worries about a government-imposed breakup.

Yiren Digital Reports Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results stocknewsapi
YRD
, /PRNewswire/ -- Yiren Digital Ltd. (NYSE: YRD) ("Yiren Digital" or the "Company"), a leading fintech company specializing in digital consumer lending, insurance and financial technology innovation across China and Southeast Asia, today announced its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2025.

Third Quarter 2025 Operational Highlights

Financial Services Business

Total loans facilitated in the third quarter of 2025 reached RMB20.2 billion (US$2.8 billion), representing an increase of 51% compared to RMB13.4 billion in the same period of 2024 and remaining stable compared to RMB20.3 billion in the second quarter of 2025.
Cumulative number of borrowers served reached 14,006,873 as of September 30, 2025, representing an increase of 3% from 13,536,838 as of June 30, 2025, and increase of 21% compared to 11,611,899 as of September 30, 2024.
Number of borrowers served in the third quarter of 2025 was 1,335,978, representing a decrease of 18% compared to 1,637,912 in the second quarter of 2025 and a decrease of 11% compared to 1,498,020 in the same period of 2024. The decrease was due to our strategic tightening of our credit policy amid industry-wide credit risk fluctuations.
Outstanding balance of performing loans facilitated reached RMB34.2 billion (US$4.8 billion) as of September 30, 2025, representing an increase of 10% from RMB31.2 billion as of June 30, 2025 and an increase of 50% compared to RMB22.8 billion as of September 30, 2024.

Insurance Brokerage Business

Gross written premiums in the third quarter of 2025 were RMB1,148.0 million (US$161.3 million), representing an increase of 35% from RMB850.1 million in the second quarter of 2025 and 15% decrease compared to RMB1,351.3 million in the same period of 2024. The increase was attributed to the accelerating growth of our internet insurance business as well as the strong performance of renewal premiums.
Annualized insurance premiums of internet insurance products were RMB196.2 million (US$27.6 million), representing an increase of 204% from RMB64.5 million in the second quarter of 2025.

"We delivered a stable and resilient quarter amid industry-wide challenges," said Mr. Ning Tang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Through adaptive risk management measures and business diversification — including the growth of our high-potential online insurance business — we have demonstrated our ability to manage risk in a challenging environment."   

"As part of our ongoing transformation, we advanced our agentic AI capabilities to improve process efficiency and unit economics. These innovations are now helping to mitigate the margin pressure associated with the current credit cycle."

"We maintain a healthy and ample cash position and are driving the turnaround of the insurance business with the new internet insurance strategy. Our balance sheet remained robust with total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash of RMB4.3 billion. This provides us with the financial flexibility to invest in our next generation of fintech." Mr. William Hui, Chief Financial Officer commented.

Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Total net revenue in the third quarter of 2025 was RMB1,555.0 million (US$218.4 million), representing an increase of 5% from RMB1,479.1 million in the third quarter of 2024. Particularly, in the third quarter of 2025, revenue from financial services business was RMB1,423.2 million (US$199.9 million), representing an increase of 70% from RMB836.2 million in the same period of 2024. The increase was attributed to persistent demand for our small revolving loan products, as well as a growing repeat borrowing rate among existing borrowers. The financial service revenue accounts for 92% of the total net revenue. Revenue from insurance brokerage business was RMB84.2 million (US$11.8 million), representing a decrease of 2% from RMB85.5 million in the third quarter of 2024. The decrease was attributable to lower overall commission rates from the traditional line. Net revenue from other business was RMB47.5 million (US$6.7 million), compared with the revenue of RMB557.4 million in the third quarter of 2024. The decrease was mainly attributed to our strategic decision to wind down the historical "consumption and lifestyle" segment announced in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Sales and marketing expenses in the third quarter of 2025 were RMB331.8 million (US$46.6 million), compared to RMB335.6 million in the same period of 2024.

Origination, servicing and other operating costs in the third quarter of 2025 were RMB149.9 million (US$21.1 million), compared to RMB205.9 million in the same period of 2024. This decrease was primarily due to 27% decrease in origination and service expense from the financial services and lower commission costs from our insurance brokerage business.

Research and development expenses in the third quarter of 2025 were RMB91.5 million (US$12.9 million), compared to RMB150.8 million in the same period of 2024. The decrease in R&D expenses was due to the one-off system development project from 2024.

General and administrative expenses in the third quarter of 2025 were RMB104.4 million (US$14.7 million), compared to RMB80.1 million in the same period of 2024. The increase was primarily due to increase in personnel related costs to strengthen our risk management and fund the plan for new business initiatives.

Allowance for contract assets, receivables and others in the third quarter of 2025 was RMB229.4 million (US$32.2 million), compared to RMB94.9 million in the same period of 2024. The increase was driven by higher receivables from loan facilitation services and guarantee services, fueled by growing loan volume.  Additionally, due to the increase in self-funded loan balance in the third quarter of 2025, the balance of financing receivables increased from RMB 17.5 million to RMB 1.1 billion.

Provision for contingent liabilities in the third quarter of 2025 was RMB459.8 million (US$64.6 million), compared to RMB272.4 million in the same period of 2024. The increase was attributable to increase in loan volume facilitated under risk-taking model. [1]

Fair value adjustments gain in the third quarter of 2025 was a gain of RMB161.3 million (US$22.7 million) compared to a gain of RMB36.4 million in the same period of 2024. The increase was mainly due to the fair value change in crypto assets, driven by an increase in the price of Ethereum.

Income tax expense in the third quarter of 2025 was RMB56.1 million (US$7.9 million).

Net income in the third quarter of 2025 was RMB317.6 million (US$44.6 million), as compared to RMB355.4 million in the same period in 2024. The decrease was primarily due to substantial upfront provisions — required by accounting principles for our growing loan volume under the "risk-taking model" — coupled with a declining fee rate of loan-facilitation business following the new regulations as well as a decreasing commission rate in our insurance brokerage business. The industry-wide fluctuations in asset quality and our conservative risk assumptions are also attributed to the overall declined profitability.

Adjusted EBITDA[2] (non-GAAP) in the third quarter of 2025 was RMB236.8 million (US$33.3 million), compared to RMB380.9 million in the same period of 2024 and RMB351.4 million in the second quarter of 2025.

Basic and diluted income per ADS in the third quarter of 2025 were RMB3.6472 (US$0.5124) and RMB3.6270 (US$0.5094) respectively, compared to a basic income per ADS of RMB4.0618 and a diluted income per ADS of RMB4.0384 in the same period of 2024.

Net cash used in operating activities in the third quarter of 2025 was RMB5.5 million (US$0.8 million), compared to RMB50.4 million generated from operating activities in the same period of 2024.

Net cash used in investing activities in the third quarter of 2025 was RMB707.6 million (US$99.4 million), compared to RMB1,859.6 million in the same period of 2024.

Net cash provided by financing activities in the third quarter of 2025 was RMB529.7 million (US$74.4 million), compared to RMB22.2 million used in financing activities in the same period of 2024.

As of September 30, 2025, cash and cash equivalents were RMB3,864.9 million (US$542.9 million), compared to RMB4,098.9 million as of June 30, 2025. As of September 30, 2025, the balance of financial investment was RMB498.8 million (US$70.1 million), compared to RMB418.9 million as of June 30, 2025.

Delinquency rates[3]. As of September 30, 2025, the delinquency rates for loans that are past due for 1-30 days, 31-60 days and 61-90 days were 2.7%, 1.7% and 1.4%, respectively, compared to 1.7%, 1.1% and 1.0%, respectively, as of June 30, 2025.

Business Outlook

Based on the Company's preliminary assessment of business and market conditions, the Company projects the total revenue in the fourth quarter of 2025 to be between RMB1.4 billion and RMB1.6 billion, driven by loan growth from domestic market and international markets, and further market penetration into new customer segment.

This is the Company's current and preliminary view, which is subject to changes and uncertainties.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In evaluating the business, the Company considers and uses several non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin as supplemental measures to review and assess operating performance. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide useful information about our core operating results, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by our management in our financial and operational decision-making. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. Other companies, including peer companies in the industry, may calculate these non-GAAP measures differently, which may reduce their usefulness as a comparative measure. The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating our performance. See "Operating Highlights and Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP measures" at the end of this press release.

Alibaba Group Announces September Quarter 2025 Results and Interim Results for the Six Months Ended September 30, 2025 stocknewsapi
BABA
HONG KONG--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE: BABA and HKEX: 9988 (HKD Counter) and 89988 (RMB Counter), “Alibaba” or “Alibaba Group”) today announced its financial results for the quarter ended and the six months ended September 30, 2025.

“We have entered into an investment phase to build long-term strategic value in AI technologies and infrastructure and a consumption platform integrating daily life services and e-commerce. With our significant strategic investments in these areas, our two core businesses of AI + Cloud and consumption continued to deliver strong growth this quarter. Robust AI demand further accelerated our Cloud Intelligence Group business, with revenue up 34% and AI-related product revenue achieving triple-digit year-over-year growth for the ninth consecutive quarter. In our consumption business, quick commerce continued to scale with significant improvement in unit economics and drove rapid growth in monthly active consumers on the Taobao app,” said Eddie Wu, Chief Executive Officer of Alibaba Group.

“Our core businesses continued to deliver solid revenue growth, with AI revenue contributing to an expanding share of our cloud revenues from external customers, and customer management revenue up 10%. We are re-investing our profits and free cash flow for the future while near-term profitability is expected to fluctuate. Over the past four quarters, we have deployed approximately RMB120 billion in capital expenditure toward AI and cloud infrastructure,” said Toby Xu, Chief Financial Officer of Alibaba Group.

BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS

In the quarter ended September 30, 2025:

Revenue was RMB247,795 million (US$34,808 million), an increase of 5% year-over-year. Excluding revenue from the disposed businesses of Sun Art and Intime, revenue on a like-for-like basis would have grown by 15% year-over-year.

Income from operations was RMB5,365 million (US$754 million), a decrease of 85% year-over-year, primarily due to the decrease in adjusted EBITA. Adjusted EBITA, a non-GAAP measurement, decreased 78% year-over-year to RMB9,073 million (US$1,274 million), primarily attributable to the investment in quick commerce, user experiences, and technology, partly offset by double-digit revenue growth in Alibaba China E-commerce Group, the improved operating results supported by continued growth in Cloud business, as well as enhanced operating efficiencies across various businesses.

Net income attributable to ordinary shareholders was RMB20,990 million (US$2,948 million). Net income was RMB20,612 million (US$2,895 million), a decrease of 53% year-over-year, primarily attributable to the decrease in income from operations. Non-GAAP net income in the quarter ended September 30, 2025 was RMB10,352 million (US$1,454 million), a decrease of 72% compared to RMB36,518 million in the same quarter of 2024.

Diluted earnings per ADS was RMB8.75 (US$1.23). Diluted earnings per share was RMB1.09 (US$0.15 or HK$1.19). Non-GAAP diluted earnings per ADS was RMB4.36 (US$0.61), a decrease of 71% year-over-year. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share was RMB0.55 (US$0.08 or HK$0.60), a decrease of 71% year-over-year.

Net cash provided by operating activities was RMB10,099 million (US$1,419 million), a decrease of 68% compared to RMB31,438 million in the same quarter of 2024. Free cash flow, a non-GAAP measurement of liquidity, was an outflow of RMB21,840 million (US$3,068 million), compared to an inflow of RMB13,735 million in the same quarter of 2024. The decrease in free cash flow was mainly attributed to the investment in quick commerce and the increase in our cloud infrastructure expenditure. As of September 30, 2025, our cash and other liquid investments(1) were RMB573,889 million (US$80,614 million).

In the six months ended September 30, 2025:

Revenue was RMB495,447 million (US$69,595 million), an increase of 3% year-over-year. Excluding revenue from the disposed businesses of Sun Art and Intime, revenue on a like-for-like basis would have grown by 12% year-over-year.

Income from operations was RMB40,353 million (US$5,668 million), a decrease of 43% year-over-year, primarily due to the decrease in adjusted EBITA, partly offset by a one-time provision(2) in the same period last year. Adjusted EBITA, a non-GAAP measurement, decreased 44% year-over-year to RMB47,917 million (US$6,731 million), primarily attributable to the investment in quick commerce, user experiences, and technology, partly offset by double-digit revenue growth in Alibaba China E-commerce Group, the improved operating results supported by continued growth in Cloud business, as well as enhanced operating efficiencies across various businesses.

Net income attributable to ordinary shareholders was RMB64,106 million (US$9,005 million). Net income was RMB62,994 million (US$8,849 million), a decrease of 7% year-over-year, primarily attributable to the decrease in income from operations, partly offset by the mark-to-market changes from our equity investments, gain from the disposal of local consumer service business of Trendyol, and the decrease in both the impairment of our investments and net exchange loss. Non-GAAP net income in the six months ended September 30, 2025 was RMB43,862 million (US$6,161 million), a decrease of 43% compared to RMB77,209 million in the same period of 2024.

Diluted earnings per ADS was RMB26.73 (US$3.75). Diluted earnings per share was RMB3.34 (US$0.47 or HK$3.66). Non-GAAP diluted earnings per ADS was RMB19.10 (US$2.68), a decrease of 39% year-over-year. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share was RMB2.39 (US$0.34 or HK$2.62), a decrease of 39% year-over-year.

Net cash provided by operating activities was RMB30,771 million (US$4,322 million), a decrease of 53% compared to RMB65,074 million in the same period of 2024. Free cash flow, a non-GAAP measurement of liquidity, was an outflow of RMB40,655 million (US$5,711 million), compared to an inflow of RMB31,107 million in the same period of 2024. The decrease in free cash flow was mainly attributed to the increase in our cloud infrastructure expenditure and the investment in quick commerce. As of September 30, 2025, our cash and other liquid investments(1) were RMB573,889 million (US$80,614 million).

Reconciliations of GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures presented above are included at the end of this results announcement.

(1) Cash and other liquid investments represent cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and other treasury investments included in equity securities and other investments on the consolidated balance sheets, of which that are unrestricted for withdrawal and use.

BUSINESS AND STRATEGIC UPDATES

Alibaba China E-commerce Group

During the quarter, we executed our plan to reach critical mass scale in quick commerce, improve user experience and enhance operating efficiency. The quick commerce business has substantially improved its unit economics since September, driven by higher fulfillment logistics efficiency, strong customer retention and increasing average order value. As part of our strategy to generate synergies between quick commerce and the rest of Alibaba’s ecosystem, we accelerated the onboarding of Tmall brands to our quick commerce channel to expand product offering and meet consumer needs for on-demand delivery. We had onboarded offline stores from approximately 3,500 Tmall brands to the quick commerce business as of October 31, 2025.

Customer management revenue grew 10% year-over-year to RMB78,927 million (US$11,087 million) during the quarter, primarily driven by the improvement of take rate, which benefited from the increasing penetration of Quanzhantui and the addition of software service fees in September last year. The growing mindshare and increasing scale of our quick commerce business contributed to a rapid year-over-year increase in monthly active consumers on the Taobao app during the quarter, which generated incremental customer management revenue.

We had a successful 11.11 Global Shopping Festival, which delivered double-digit consumer growth year-over-year on the Taobao app, as we implemented user-friendly promotion mechanisms and increased support for merchants that provide high-quality products and customer services.

The number of 88VIP members, our highest spending consumer group, continued to increase by double digits year-over-year, surpassing 56 million. We will continue to focus on improving the retention of 88VIP membership through enhanced value proposition to our most valued customers.

Alibaba International Digital Commerce Group (“AIDC”)

A combination of logistics optimization and investment efficiency enhancement resulted in AIDC’s adjusted EBITA profit of RMB162 million (US$23 million) for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. The unit economics of the AliExpress' Choice business also continued to improve substantially.

This quarter, revenue from AIDC grew 10% year-over-year to RMB34,799 million (US$4,888 million). AIDC's international commerce retail businesses continued to diversify and enrich product offerings by onboarding local merchants and partners, while leveraging the supply chain advantage of the Alibaba ecosystem. AliExpress, in particular, has developed its “AliExpressDirect” model that leverages local inventories in over 30 countries. AliExpress also enhanced the range of our product offerings by launching the “Brand+” program, providing go-to-market solutions to Chinese brands going overseas. In addition, AIDC's international wholesale business further enhanced its AI applications to enhance user experience. During the quarter, our AI-powered B2B procurement engine Accio released its AI Agent version, significantly improving sourcing and procurement efficiency for users.

Cloud Intelligence Group

For the quarter ended September 30, 2025, revenue from Cloud Intelligence Group was RMB39,824 million (US$5,594 million). The year-over-year growth of total revenue, and revenue excluding Alibaba-consolidated subsidiaries, accelerated to 34% and 29% respectively. This momentum was primarily driven by public cloud revenue growth, including the increasing adoption of AI-related products.

AI-related product revenue continued to show strong momentum, delivering another quarter of triple-digit year-over-year growth. We are seeing accelerated adoption of our AI products across a broad range of enterprise customers, with a growing focus on value-added applications including coding assistants. We will continue to invest in anticipation of customer growth and technology innovation, including AI products and services, to increase adoption of AI infrastructure cloud and strengthen our market leadership.

In September at the Apsara Conference, Alibaba Cloud unveiled a major upgrade to our full-stack AI capabilities – spanning from cutting-edge AI foundation models to high-performance AI infrastructure, including servers, high-performance networking, distributed storage, intelligent computing clusters, Platform for AI (PAI), and services for model training and inference. Leveraging our strong AI + Cloud capabilities, Alibaba Cloud continues to contribute actively to open-source community development. As of October 31, 2025, more than 180,000 derivative models had been developed based on the Qwen family on Hugging Face – more than double that of the second player.

Alibaba Cloud continues to lead the market, attracting more customers to adopt our AI products and services. Omdia’s “AI Cloud Market: China – 1H25” reported that Alibaba Cloud ranked first in China’s AI cloud market with the largest share of 35.8%, highlighting our ability to continue leading China's burgeoning AI cloud market through our comprehensive full-stack AI capabilities.

Share Repurchases

During the quarter ended September 30, 2025, we repurchased a total of 17 million ordinary shares (equivalent to approximately 2 million ADSs) for a total of US$253 million. These purchases were made in the U.S. market under our share repurchase program. The remaining amount of Board authorization for our share repurchase program, which is effective through March 2027, was US$19.1 billion as of September 30, 2025.

To advance our “user first” strategy and enhance user experience, during the quarter ended June 30, 2025, we undertook a strategic combination of Taobao and Tmall Group, Ele.me and Fliggy into Alibaba China E-commerce Group. We simplified the financial reporting structure by reclassifying Cainiao, Amap and Digital Media and Entertainment Group (rebranded to Hujing Digital Media and Entertainment Group) into “All others”. The above presentation has been updated to conform with the new reporting structure, as reviewed by our chief operating decision maker.

(2)

Direct sales, logistics and others revenue under Alibaba China E-commerce Group primarily represents direct sales businesses of Tmall Supermarket, Tmall Global and other businesses, where revenue and cost of inventory are recorded on a gross basis within the business group, as well as revenue from logistics services and value-added services.

(3)

Quick commerce revenue represents quick commerce business revenue, including revenue generated through “Taobao Instant Commerce” and the Ele.me app. Quick commerce revenue is net of subsidies that are contra revenue.

(4)

All others include Freshippo, Cainiao, Alibaba Health, Hujing Digital Media and Entertainment Group, Amap, Intelligent Information Platform (which mainly consists of UCWeb and Quark businesses), Lingxi Games, DingTalk and other businesses. The majority of revenue within All others consists of direct sales, where revenue and cost of inventory are recorded on a gross basis, and revenue from logistics services. The decrease was primarily due to the revenue decrease as a result of the disposal of Sun Art and Intime businesses, as well as the decrease in revenue from Cainiao, partly offset by the increase in revenue from Freshippo, Alibaba Health and Amap.

Cost of revenue – Cost of revenue in the quarter ended September 30, 2025 was RMB150,781 million (US$21,180 million), or 60.8% of revenue, compared to RMB144,029 million, or 60.9% of revenue, in the same quarter of 2024. Without the effect of share-based compensation expense, cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue would have increased from 60.6% in the quarter ended September 30, 2024 to 60.7% in the quarter ended September 30, 2025, primarily due to higher logistics cost driven by the growth in our quick commerce business, partly offset by the disposal of Sun Art and Intime businesses, decrease in scale of low margin direct sales businesses, improvement in monetization and operating efficiency.

Product development expenses – Product development expenses in the quarter ended September 30, 2025 were RMB17,095 million (US$2,401 million), or 6.9% of revenue, compared to RMB14,182 million, or 6.0% of revenue, in the same quarter of 2024. Without the effect of share-based compensation expense, product development expenses as a percentage of revenue would have increased from 5.3% in the quarter ended September 30, 2024 to 6.3% in the quarter ended September 30, 2025, primarily attributable to our increased investment in technology development.

Sales and marketing expenses – Sales and marketing expenses in the quarter ended September 30, 2025 were RMB66,496 million (US$9,341 million), or 26.8% of revenue, compared to RMB32,471 million, or 13.7% of revenue, in the same quarter of 2024. Without the effect of share-based compensation expense, sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue would have increased from 13.5% in the quarter ended September 30, 2024 to 26.6% in the quarter ended September 30, 2025, primarily attributable to the investment in user experiences of Alibaba China E-commerce Group.

General and administrative expenses – General and administrative expenses in the quarter ended September 30, 2025 were RMB7,380 million (US$1,037 million), or 3.0% of revenue, compared to RMB9,777 million, or 4.1% of revenue, in the same quarter of 2024. Without the effect of share-based compensation expense, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue would have decreased from 3.6% in the quarter ended September 30, 2024 to 2.6% in the quarter ended September 30, 2025, primarily due to our improved cost control measures.

Share-based compensation expense – Total share-based compensation expense included in the cost and expense items above in the quarter ended September 30, 2025 was RMB3,325 million (US$467 million), compared to RMB4,146 million in the same quarter of 2024.

Share-based compensation expense decreased in the quarter ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same quarter of 2024. The decrease in share-based compensation expense related to Alibaba Group share-based awards was primarily due to the decrease in the number of awards granted as we have increased the proportion of long-term cash incentives granted after considering the macroeconomic environment and the general trends in the talent market.

We expect that our share-based compensation expense will continue to be affected by changes in the fair value of the underlying awards and the quantity of awards we grant in the future.

Amortization of intangible assets – Amortization of intangible assets in the quarter ended September 30, 2025 was RMB826 million (US$116 million), a decrease of 50% from RMB1,649 million in the same quarter of 2024, primarily due to full amortization of certain intangible assets.

Income from operations and operating margin

Income from operations in the quarter ended September 30, 2025 was RMB5,365 million (US$754 million), or 2% of revenue, a decrease of 85% compared to RMB35,246 million, or 15% of revenue, in the same quarter of 2024, primarily due to the decrease in adjusted EBITA.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITA

Adjusted EBITDA decreased 64% year-over-year to RMB17,256 million (US$2,424 million) in the quarter ended September 30, 2025, compared to RMB47,327 million in the same quarter of 2024. Adjusted EBITA decreased 78% year-over-year to RMB9,073 million (US$1,274 million) in the quarter ended September 30, 2025, compared to RMB40,561 million in the same quarter of 2024, primarily attributable to the investment in quick commerce, user experiences, and technology, partly offset by double-digit revenue growth in Alibaba China E-commerce Group, the improved operating results supported by continued growth in Cloud business, as well as enhanced operating efficiencies across various businesses. A reconciliation of net income to adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITA is included at the end of this results announcement.

The year-over-year decreases were mainly attributable to the decrease in income from operations, partly offset by the mark-to-market changes from our equity investments, gain from the disposal of local consumer service business of Trendyol, and the decrease in both the impairment of our investments and net exchange loss, while net income attributable to ordinary shareholders and earnings per share/ADS would further take into account the net loss (income) attributable to noncontrolling interests and (accretion) reversal of accretion of mezzanine equity.

(1)

To advance our “user first” strategy and enhance user experience, during the quarter ended June 30, 2025, we undertook a strategic combination of Taobao and Tmall Group, Ele.me and Fliggy into Alibaba China E-commerce Group. We simplified the financial reporting structure by reclassifying Cainiao, Amap and Digital Media and Entertainment Group (rebranded to Hujing Digital Media and Entertainment Group) into “All others”. The above presentation has been updated to conform with the new reporting structure, as reviewed by our chief operating decision maker.

(2)

Direct sales, logistics and others revenue under Alibaba China E-commerce Group primarily represents direct sales businesses of Tmall Supermarket, Tmall Global and other businesses, where revenue and cost of inventory are recorded on a gross basis within the business group, as well as revenue from logistics services and value-added services.

(3)

Quick commerce revenue represents quick commerce business revenue, including revenue generated through “Taobao Instant Commerce” and the Ele.me app. Quick commerce revenue is net of subsidies that are contra revenue.

(4)

All others include Freshippo, Cainiao, Alibaba Health, Hujing Digital Media and Entertainment Group, Amap, Intelligent Information Platform (which mainly consists of UCWeb and Quark businesses), Lingxi Games, DingTalk and other businesses. The majority of revenue within All others consists of direct sales, where revenue and cost of inventory are recorded on a gross basis, and revenue from logistics services. The decrease was primarily due to the revenue decrease as a result of the disposal of Sun Art and Intime businesses, as well as the decrease in revenue from Cainiao, partly offset by the increase in revenue from Freshippo, Alibaba Health and Amap.

Cost of revenue – Cost of revenue in the six months ended September 30, 2025 was RMB287,210 million (US$40,344 million), or 58.0% of revenue, compared to RMB290,135 million, or 60.5% of revenue, in the same period of 2024. Without the effect of share-based compensation expense, cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue would have decreased from 60.2% in the same period of 2024 to 57.8% in the six months ended September 30, 2025, primarily due to the disposal of Sun Art and Intime businesses, decrease in scale of low margin direct sales businesses, improvement in monetization and operating efficiency, partly offset by higher logistics cost driven by the growth in our quick commerce business.

Product development expenses – Product development expenses in the six months ended September 30, 2025 were RMB32,096 million (US$4,509 million), or 6.5% of revenue, compared to RMB27,555 million, or 5.7% of revenue, in the same period of 2024. Without the effect of share-based compensation expense, product development expenses as a percentage of revenue would have increased from 5.0% in the same period of 2024 to 5.9% in the six months ended September 30, 2025, primarily attributable to our increased investment in technology development.

Sales and marketing expenses – Sales and marketing expenses in the six months ended September 30, 2025 were RMB119,674 million (US$16,811 million), or 24.2% of revenue, compared to RMB65,167 million, or 13.6% of revenue, in the same period of 2024. Without the effect of share-based compensation expense, sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue would have increased from 13.4% in the same period of 2024 to 24.0% in the six months ended September 30, 2025, primarily attributable to the investment in user experiences of Alibaba China E-commerce Group.

General and administrative expenses – General and administrative expenses in the six months ended September 30, 2025 were RMB14,778 million (US$2,076 million), or 3.0% of revenue, compared to RMB23,057 million, or 4.8% of revenue, in the same period of 2024. Without the effect of share-based compensation expense, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue would have decreased from 4.3% in the same period of 2024 to 2.6% in the six months ended September 30, 2025, primarily due to a one-time provision for the shareholder class action lawsuits in the same period last year and our improved cost control measures.

Share-based compensation expense – Total share-based compensation expense included in the cost and expense items above in the six months ended September 30, 2025 was RMB6,870 million (US$965 million), compared to RMB8,277 million in the same period of 2024.

Share-based compensation expense decreased in the six months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period of 2024. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in the number of Alibaba Group share-based awards granted as we have increased the proportion of long-term cash incentives granted after considering the macroeconomic environment and the general trends in the talent market.

We expect that our share-based compensation expense will continue to be affected by changes in the fair value of the underlying awards and the quantity of awards we grant in the future.

Amortization and impairment of intangible assets – Amortization and impairment of intangible assets in the six months ended September 30, 2025 was RMB1,633 million (US$229 million), a decrease of 53% from RMB3,441 million in the same period of 2024, primarily due to full amortization of certain intangible assets.

Income from operations in the six months ended September 30, 2025 was RMB40,353 million (US$5,668 million), or 8% of revenue, a decrease of 43% compared to RMB71,235 million, or 15% of revenue, in the same period of 2024, primarily due to the decrease in adjusted EBITA, partly offset by a one-time provision in the same period last year.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITA

Adjusted EBITDA decreased 36% year-over-year to RMB62,991 million (US$8,848 million) in the six months ended September 30, 2025, compared to RMB98,488 million in the same period of 2024. Adjusted EBITA decreased 44% year-over-year to RMB47,917 million (US$6,731 million) in the six months ended September 30, 2025, compared to RMB85,596 million in the same period of 2024, primarily attributable to the investment in quick commerce, user experiences, and technology, partly offset by double-digit revenue growth in Alibaba China E-commerce Group, the improved operating results supported by continued growth in Cloud business, as well as enhanced operating efficiencies across various businesses. A reconciliation of net income to adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITA is included at the end of this results announcement.

Adjusted EBITA by segment

Adjusted EBITA by segment as well as a reconciliation of income from operations to adjusted EBITA are set forth in the section entitled “Six Months Ended September Segment Results” above.

Interest and investment income, net

Interest and investment income, net in the six months ended September 30, 2025 was RMB37,468 million (US$5,263 million), an increase of 119% compared to RMB17,129 million in the same period of 2024, primarily due to mark-to-market changes from our equity investments, gain from the disposal of local consumer service business of Trendyol, and the decrease in impairment of our investments.

The above-mentioned investment gains and losses were excluded from our non-GAAP net income.

Other (expense) income, net

Other (expense) income, net in the six months ended September 30, 2025 was an income of RMB1,329 million (US$187 million), compared to expense of RMB1,221 million in the same period of 2024, was primarily due to the decrease in net exchange loss in the six months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period last year, arising from the exchange rate fluctuation between Renminbi and U.S. dollar.

Income tax expenses

Income tax expenses in the six months ended September 30, 2025 were RMB14,415 million (US$2,024 million), compared to RMB17,442 million in the same period of 2024.

We record our share of results of all equity method investees one quarter in arrears. The share of net profit of other equity method investees recorded in the six months ended September 30 2025, compared to the share of net losses in the same period last year, was primarily attributable to the overall improvement in the financial performance of our equity method investees. This was partly offset by the decrease in share of profit of Ant Group, which was mainly attributable to investments in new growth initiatives and technologies.

Net income and Non-GAAP net income

Our net income in the six months ended September 30, 2025 was RMB62,994 million (US$8,849 million), compared to RMB67,569 million in the same period of 2024, primarily attributable to the decrease in income from operations, partly offset by the mark-to-market changes from our equity investments, gain from the disposal of local consumer service business of Trendyol and the decrease in both the impairment of our investments and net exchange loss.

Excluding non-cash share-based compensation expense, gains/losses of investments, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, and certain other items, non-GAAP net income in the six months ended September 30, 2025 was RMB43,862 million (US$6,161 million), a decrease of 43% compared to RMB77,209 million in the same period of 2024, primarily attributable to the investment in quick commerce, user experiences, and technology, partly offset by double-digit revenue growth in Alibaba China E-commerce Group, the improved operating results supported by continued growth in Cloud business, as well as enhanced operating efficiencies across various businesses. A reconciliation of net income to non-GAAP net income is included at the end of this results announcement.

Net income attributable to ordinary shareholders

Net income attributable to ordinary shareholders in the six months ended September 30, 2025 was RMB64,106 million (US$9,005 million), compared to RMB68,143 million in the same period of 2024, primarily attributable to the decrease in income from operations, partly offset by the mark-to-market changes from our equity investments, gain from the disposal of local consumer service business of Trendyol and the decrease in both the impairment of our investments and net exchange loss.

Diluted earnings per ADS/share and non-GAAP diluted earnings per ADS/share

Diluted earnings per ADS in the six months ended September 30, 2025 was RMB26.73 (US$3.75), compared to RMB28.00 in the same period of 2024. Excluding non-cash share-based compensation expense, gains/losses of investments, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, and certain other items, non-GAAP diluted earnings per ADS in the six months ended September 30, 2025 was RMB19.10 (US$2.68), a decrease of 39% compared to RMB31.50 in the same period of 2024.

Diluted earnings per share in the six months ended September 30, 2025 was RMB3.34 (US$0.47 or HK$3.66), compared to RMB3.50 in the same period of 2024. Excluding non-cash share-based compensation expense, gains/losses of investments, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, and certain other items, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share in the six months ended September 30, 2025 was RMB2.39 (US$0.34 or HK$2.62), a decrease of 39% compared to RMB3.94 in the same period of 2024.

A reconciliation of diluted earnings per ADS/share to non-GAAP diluted earnings per ADS/share is included at the end of this results announcement. Each ADS represents eight ordinary shares.

Cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and other treasury investments

As of September 30, 2025, cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and other treasury investments included in equity securities and other investments on the consolidated balance sheets, of which that are unrestricted for withdrawal and use, were RMB573,889 million (US$80,614 million), compared to RMB597,132 million as of March 31, 2025. Other treasury investments consist of fixed deposits, certificate of deposits and marketable debt securities with original maturities over one year for treasury purposes. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and other treasury investments of RMB23,243 million during the six months ended September 30, 2025, was primarily due to (i) free cash flow outflow of RMB40,655 million (US$5,711 million), (ii) dividend payment of RMB33,621 million (US$4,723 million), (iii) cash used in repurchase of ordinary shares of RMB7,638 million (US$1,073 million), partly offset by (iv) net proceeds from issuance of convertible unsecured senior notes and payments for capped call transactions of RMB20,994 million (US$2,949 million), (v) net proceeds from bank borrowings of RMB17,804 million (US$2,501 million), (vi) net proceeds from issuance of exchangeable bonds of RMB10,986 million (US$1,543 million) and (vii) proceeds of RMB12,026 million (US$1,689 million) from the disposal of Intime and local consumer service business of Trendyol.

Net cash provided by operating activities and free cash flow

During the six months ended September 30, 2025, net cash provided by operating activities was RMB30,771 million (US$4,322 million), a decrease of 53% compared to RMB65,074 million in the same period of 2024. Free cash flow, a non-GAAP measurement of liquidity, was an outflow of RMB40,655 million (US$5,711 million), compared to an inflow of RMB31,107 million in the same period of 2024. The decrease in free cash flow was mainly attributed to the increase in our cloud infrastructure expenditure and the investment in quick commerce. A reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities to free cash flow is included at the end of this results announcement.

Net cash used in investing activities

During the six months ended September 30, 2025, net cash used in investing activities of RMB51,324 million (US$7,209 million) primarily reflected capital expenditures of RMB70,177 million (US$9,858 million) and net increase in short-term investments and other treasury investments by RMB11,119 million (US$1,562 million), partly offset by net cash inflow of RMB29,710 million (US$4,173 million) for investment and acquisition activities.

Net cash provided by financing activities

During the six months ended September 30, 2025, net cash provided by financing activities of RMB8,171 million (US$1,148 million) primarily reflected cash provided by net proceeds from issuance of convertible unsecured senior notes and payments for capped call transactions of RMB20,994 million (US$2,949 million), net proceeds from bank borrowings of RMB17,804 million (US$2,501 million), and net proceeds from issuance of exchangeable bonds of RMB10,986 million (US$1,543 million), partly offset by dividend payment of RMB33,621 million (US$4,723 million), and cash used in repurchase of ordinary shares of RMB7,638 million (US$1,073 million).

The percentages stated in this results announcement are calculated based on the RMB amounts and there may be minor differences due to rounding.

SAFE HARBOR STATEMENTS

This results announcement contains forward-looking statements. These statements are made under the “safe harbor” provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “future,” “aim,” “estimate,” “intend,” “seek,” “plan,” “believe,” “potential,” “continue,” “ongoing,” “target,” “guidance,” “is/are likely to” and similar statements. In addition, statements that are not historical facts, including statements about Alibaba’s strategies and business and operational plans, Alibaba’s beliefs, expectations and guidance regarding the growth of its business, its operating and financial results, return on investments, strategic investments and dispositions and share repurchases, and the business outlook and quotations from management in this results announcement, are or contain forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement, including but not limited to: Alibaba’s ability to compete, innovate and maintain or grow its business; risks associated with sustained investments in Alibaba’s businesses; risks related to strategic transactions; fluctuations in general economic and business conditions in China and globally; uncertainties arising from competition among countries and geopolitical tensions, including national trade, investment, protectionist or other policies and export control, economic or trade sanctions; changes to our shareholder return initiatives; and assumptions underlying or related to any of the foregoing. Further information regarding these and other risks is included in Alibaba’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and announcements on the website of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. All information provided in this results announcement is as of the date of this results announcement and are based on assumptions that we believe to be reasonable as of this date, and Alibaba does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement, except as required under applicable law.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use the following non-GAAP financial measures: for our consolidated results, adjusted EBITDA (including adjusted EBITDA margin), adjusted EBITA (including adjusted EBITA margin), non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share/ADS and free cash flow. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please refer to the table captioned “Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Measures to the Nearest Comparable U.S. GAAP Measures” in this results announcement.

We believe that adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITA, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share/ADS help identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain income or expenses that we include in income from operations, net income and diluted earnings per share/ADS. We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information about our core operating results, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making. We present three different income measures, namely adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITA and non-GAAP net income in order to provide more information and greater transparency to investors about our operating results.

We consider free cash flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by our business that can be used for strategic corporate transactions, including investing in our new business initiatives, making strategic investments and acquisitions and strengthening our balance sheet.

Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITA, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share/ADS and free cash flow should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to income from operations, net income, diluted earnings per share/ADS, cash flows or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of our operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures presented here do not have standardized meanings prescribed by U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures to our data.

Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before interest and investment income, net, interest expense, other income (expense), net, income tax expenses, share of results of equity method investees, certain non-cash expenses, consisting of share-based compensation expense, amortization and impairment of intangible assets, impairment of goodwill, depreciation and impairment of property and equipment, and operating lease cost relating to land use rights, and others (including provision in relation to matters outside the ordinary course of business), which we do not believe are reflective of our core operating performance during the periods presented.

Adjusted EBITA represents net income before interest and investment income, net, interest expense, other income (expense), net, income tax expenses, share of results of equity method investees, certain non-cash expenses, consisting of share-based compensation expense, amortization and impairment of intangible assets, impairment of goodwill, and others (including provision in relation to matters outside the ordinary course of business), which we do not believe are reflective of our core operating performance during the periods presented.

Non-GAAP net income represents net income before non-cash share-based compensation expense, amortization and impairment of intangible assets, gain or loss on deemed disposals/disposals/revaluation of investments, impairment of goodwill and investments, and others (including provision in relation to matters outside the ordinary course of business), and adjustments for the tax effects.

Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share represents non-GAAP net income attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by the weighted average number of outstanding ordinary shares for computing non-GAAP diluted earnings per share on a diluted basis. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per ADS represents non-GAAP diluted earnings per share after adjusting for the ordinary share-to-ADS ratio.

Free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities as presented in our consolidated cash flow statement less purchases of property and equipment (excluding acquisition of land use rights and construction in progress relating to office campuses) and intangible assets (excluding those acquired through acquisitions), as well as adjustments to exclude from net cash provided by operating activities the buyer protection fund deposits from merchants on our marketplaces. We deduct certain items of cash flows from investing activities in order to provide greater transparency into cash flow from our revenue-generating business operations. We exclude “acquisition of land use rights and construction in progress relating to office campuses” because the office campuses are used by us for corporate and administrative purposes and are not directly related to our revenue-generating business operations. We also exclude buyer protection fund deposits from merchants on our marketplaces because these deposits are restricted for the purpose of compensating buyers for claims against merchants.

The table captioned “Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Measures to the Nearest Comparable U.S. GAAP Measures” in this results announcement has more details on the non-GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to GAAP financial measures and the related reconciliations between these financial measures.

Alibaba shares rise as AI drives 34% cloud sales jump stocknewsapi
BABA
Alibaba delivered better than expected revenue in its fiscal second quarter as sales in its key cloud computing division accelerated.

Here's how the company did in its fiscal second quarter ended Sept. 30 versus LSEG estimates:

Revenue: 247.8 billion Chinese yuan ($34.8 billion) versus 242.65 billion yuan.Revenue rose 5% year-on-year.

Investors are focused on Alibaba's cloud computing division which books its revenue related to artificial intelligence. Over the past few quarters, Alibaba's cloud revenue growth has accelerated.

Alibaba reported a 34% year-on-year rise in cloud computing revenue to 39.8 billion yuan versus expectations of 37.9 billion yuan. That growth rate was faster than the 26% notched in the June quarter.

In September, the company said it plans to increase spending on AI models and infrastructure development, on top of the 380 billion yuan ($53 billion) over three years it announced in February.

On Monday, Alibaba said its Qwen app, the Chinese giant's rival to OpenAI's ChatGPT, surpassed 10 million downloads within the first week of its public launch. The app is powered by Alibaba's Qwen artificial intelligence models.

Meanwhile, the company has been investing heavily in the cut-throat instant commerce market. This a product offering from Alibaba and some of its Chinese e-commerce rivals that promises super-fast delivery on certain items.

Investment in this new segment has weighed on the profitability of Alibaba's overall business even as cloud computing remains strong.

Want $10,000 in Annual Passive Income? This 1 ETF Could Get You There stocknewsapi
SCHD
Investors would need around $300,000 invested in this premier dividend ETF.

It's one thing to work for your income, but the real beauty comes when you can earn money without lifting a finger -- otherwise known as passive income. There are many forms of passive income, but one of the most straightforward forms in the stock market comes via dividends.

Dividends are a way for companies to reward their investors for simply owning their stock. And regardless of the stock's price movement, you can expect your dividend payments to keep flowing (in most cases).

If the idea of earning $10,000 in passive income sounds enticing, there is one dividend exchange-traded fund (ETF) well-equipped to make it happen. It likely won't be overnight, but with a little patience, it's absolutely attainable.

Image source: Getty Images.

A high-quality dividend ETF that has stood the test of time
The Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD 0.55%) is one of the top dividend exchange-traded funds (ETFs) on the market. It has been around since October 2011 and is known for holding high-quality companies. This is largely because of the criteria companies must meet to be included.

A company must have 10 consecutive years of dividend payouts, strong cash flow, and a healthy balance sheet to be eligible. That eliminates many companies that may seem attractive strictly because of a high dividend yield or an unsustainable dividend.

In the past five years, SCHD's average dividend yield has been 3.35%. If we assume this continues (though it will inevitably fluctuate because dividend yields move inversely to stock prices), you would need to have $298,508 invested in SCHD to generate $10,000 in annual passive income.

Data by YCharts.

At the time of this writing, SCHD's price is around $27, meaning you'd need to purchase 11,056 shares if you were starting from scratch.

It all comes down to consistency
In reality, few people have close to $300,000 in cash lying around that they can instantly invest to make the above scenario happen. However, with time, consistency, and the power of compound earnings, it's much easier to accomplish than one may initially believe.

Today's Change

Current Price

$

26.95

Over the past decade, SCHD has averaged 11.2% annual total returns. Past performance doesn't guarantee future performance, but if we assume this continues for the sake of illustration, you could cross the $300,000 mark in 20 years by investing $400 monthly into the ETF. If you upped the monthly contributions to $750, you could hit the mark in 15 years.

In either case, you would have personally invested much less than the actual $300,000. The key is to start early and let time do a lot of the heavy lifting.

Canadians Take on More Credit Amid Lower Interest Rates as Mortgage Churn Rises and Economic Disparities Deepen stocknewsapi
TRU
Key findings from TransUnion report:

Total consumer debt rose to $2.6 trillion, driven by increased mortgage balances amid falling interest rates; mortgage originations jumped 18% YoY as Canadians opted for shorter-term fixed mortgages.Delinquency trends reveal widening financial disparity across regions; early-stage delinquencies declined, but late-stage delinquencies rose, with Ontario, Alberta and Quebec showing the sharpest increases.Credit card market shows signs of slowdown as originations declined further.
TORONTO, Nov. 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In the third quarter of 2025, total Canadian consumer debt grew by 4.1% to reach $2.6 trillion, according to TransUnion’s Q3 2025 Credit Industry Insights Report (CIIR). Total balances grew across all products and across all risk tiers. Mortgage balances rose 4.1% year-over-year (YoY) to $1.89 trillion, while total non-mortgage debt increased 4.3% to $673 billion. This growth was driven by the combination of rising average loan sizes as well as the number of borrowers. The number of credit-active consumers grew by 2.7% YoY, while total credit balances increased at a faster pace of 4.1% over the same period. The average non-mortgage balance per consumer reached $27,100 – up 2.6% YoY – marking a shift back to the more moderate pace of growth seen before the pandemic.

Homeowners Prioritize Affordability with Lower Interest Rates on New Mortgages

Lower interest rates led to a combination of refinancing activity and earlier renewals that drove the continued growth in mortgage originations, which were up 18% YoY. Many borrowers opted for shorter one- or three-year fixed terms, where historically the five-year mortgage term has been the most popular choice. Borrowers are strategically choosing shorter terms to wait out the current high rates, positioning themselves to potentially secure a more favourable rate when they renew in a couple of years. The shorter mortgage terms have driven turnover in the market, creating a spike in origination volumes that may continue until interest rates become steadier.

The average new mortgage loan amount increased 4.1% YoY to $359,623, indicating that affordability remains a challenge across the country, despite some easing in housing prices. The level of the national average for new mortgage amounts is primarily driven by Toronto and Vancouver, which remain Canada’s least affordable markets. Quebec City, Montreal and Saskatoon had the highest rates of average new mortgage amount increase over the last year.

Built-in resiliency measures, such as the federal mortgage stress test, have helped reduce defaults and foreclosures, driving overall delinquency rates lower. This improvement in credit performance has reinforced stability and strength across Canada’s mortgage market.

“In today’s elevated interest rate environment, consumers are potentially tempted to opt for shorter-term mortgages to optimize for renewal at favorably lower rates,” said Matt Fabian, director of financial services research and consulting at TransUnion Canada. “Lenders will need to watch out for shifts in market share and adjust retention strategies in order to maintain a strong customer base as consumers shop around for more affordable rates.”

Geographic Disparity in Credit Performance Rising

Delinquency trends are revealing a significant disparity in the ability to pay bills and loans between those who are financially secure and those experiencing financial hardship.

Early-stage delinquency rates (30 or more days past due) have declined, suggesting that fewer consumers are missing payments or that more are recovering quickly after a missed payment. However, late-stage delinquency (90+ days past due) continued to rise, indicating that those who do fall behind are struggling more severely. This contrast underscores a critical dynamic of this recovery. While overall delinquency rates may appear stable or improving, the financial health of the most vulnerable consumers is worsening and the gap between those managing to stay current and those falling deeper into delinquency is widening.

Overall consumer-level early-stage delinquency (consumers 30+ days past due) has shown signs of modest improvement this year, falling 6 bps to 4.38% in Q3 2025. Meanwhile, the late-stage delinquency rate (90+ days past due) has risen by 4 bps YoY to 1.77%. While later stage delinquency has risen slightly, these levels are in line with levels observed prior to the pandemic. Given the increase in credit activity and debt levels in recent years, a corresponding increase in delinquency is to be expected.

Geographic differences in performance also reflect divergent regional macroeconomic trends. Regional cost of living and wage growth differences have had a significant impact on delinquency variation between provinces. Additional pressure from macro-economic cycles as well as tariffs may also be disproportionately impacting certain goods-producing sectors and regions heavily dependent on U.S. trade, while other areas have experienced more resiliency.

Alberta had the highest delinquency rate in the country and the sharpest increase in delinquency rate, rising 10 bp YoY to 2.31%. This significant rise reversed a generally improving trend in prior years and was driven by a high unemployment rate1 increase, which generally impacts the financial stability of affected households.

Ontario’s consumer delinquency rate rose 6 bp to 1.90%, which may signal mounting financial stress as it has also seen a larger increase in its unemployment rate than other regions, rising from 5.6% in 2023 to 7.8% in 2025 likely driven by manufacturing slowdown and impacts of tariffs on auto, steel and aluminum manufacturing. Quebec’s delinquency rate increased 5 bps from the prior year to 1.26% in Q3 2025, indicating some growing credit stress from the impacts of U.S. tariffs on exports. Despite the delinquency rate increase, Quebec’s households are overall better positioned than Ontario and Alberta with relatively lower delinquency and unemployment rates.

Delinquency rates in British Columbia remained stable at 1.65%, the second lowest delinquency rate across all provinces. However, lumber tariffs and the potential for related unemployment could cause a future rise in delinquencies, especially in lumber producing areas.

        Card Growth Slows Down with Scaled Back Appetite

New credit card originations remained restrained, down 8.6% YoY as lenders maintained a cautious stance. Even so, the YoY pace of decline has slowed compared to previous quarters, signaling the early signs of stabilization amid improving macroeconomic conditions. While total originations were lower, average new card limits climbed 4.8% to over $6,500, pointing to selective lending and a focus on lower risk acquisition strategies. The decline in originations also mirrors the slowing of the country’s new Canadian population, since this segment usually takes on a credit card as their first credit product.

Average card balance per consumer rose 1.9% YoY to $4,652, with below-prime consumers seeing a sharper increase of 2.4%, compared to just 1% among prime and super-prime tiers, signaling that financial pressure is disproportionately impacting higher-risk borrowers. The recent upward trend in household financial activity suggests mounting pressure on consumers, likely driven by rising living costs and evolving spending behaviors, and has led to average card balances rising to pre-pandemic levels.

Overall revolving balances (the portion of that total balance that is carried over from one month to the next and is subject to interest charges) remained flat from prior year. However, looking at specific consumer segments shows a different, yet potentially more accurate, picture. Below prime consumers saw an increase in revolving balances, up 2% YoY, while prime and better consumers saw lower revolving balances, down 4% YoY.

Average monthly credit card spend per consumer was down 3.4% YoY to $1,373, possibly connected to consumers declining optimism around the economy amid rising unemployment and continued trade tension.

Card delinquency rates continue to reflect a divide in consumer payment behavior. Early-stage delinquency held steady year-over-year at 2.51%, remaining more than 20 basis points below pre-pandemic levels. This stability may be partly due to lenders’ more cautious stance, including reduced originations to subprime borrowers, which has helped keep early-stage delinquencies in check. Later-stage delinquency also showed modest movement, rising just 1 basis point year-over-year to 0.91%. However, it remains slightly above pre-pandemic levels, as consumers who fall into late-stage delinquency often face mounting fees and interest, making recovery more difficult. Additionally, the lag between financial distress and charge-offs, typically 9-12 months, means current late-stage delinquencies may reflect economic stress from earlier periods.

Millennials and baby boomers, who had seen increases in card delinquency through 2023, are showing signs of recovery, with millennial consumer-level delinquency down 3 bps YoY to 1.11% while baby boomer delinquency rates improved 1 bp to 0.49%. Gen Z consumers continued to struggle with consumer-level card delinquency as rates rose 8 bps to 1.29%. There was also improvement from subprime cardholders, with delinquency rates improving 12 bps to 10.7% after rising over 100 bps the prior year, potentially pointing to easing strain on this segment. Other risk tiers remained relatively flat compared to the prior year.

“Looking ahead, while rising unemployment and tariff-related pressures continue to pose challenges, early signs of stabilization in core economic indicators—particularly interest rates and inflation—are beginning to offer some relief to consumers. In response, issuers are cautiously re-engaging with the market through targeted acquisition strategies, disciplined credit line management and personalized offers aimed at driving sustainable balance growth while maintaining a prudent approach to risk. ,” Fabian said. “These approaches aim to capture high-value segments while maintaining portfolio resilience, positioning lenders for a more competitive and adaptive credit landscape in the months ahead.”

Consumer Credit Indicator Remains Muted Compared to Prior Year

In Q3 2025, Canada's Consumer Credit Industry Indicator (CII) fell 6 points compared to the same quarter in 2024. This lower indicator value indicates a continuing deterioration in the overall health of the Canadian credit market, reflecting weakening consumer behaviors and worsening credit supply conditions.
