Marqeta delivered a clean beat to close out fiscal 2025, with Q4 revenue of $172.11 million rising 26.8% year-over-year and clearing the $167.15 million consensus estimate by nearly 3%, while the company posted breakeven GAAP EPS of $0.00 against expectations of a $0.02 loss. The standout driver behind the quarter's momentum was Total Processing Volume, which expanded 36% year-over-year to $109.00 billion, reflecting accelerating adoption of Marqeta's card issuing platform across both existing and new customers. Adjusted EBITDA doubled to $30.68 million, lifting the margin to 18% from 9% a year ago, as operating expenses fell 5% despite continued business expansion. The company also filed a shelf registration for employee Class A shares, signaling continued investment in workforce retention alongside its growth strategy. Looking ahead, Marqeta guided Q1 2026 net revenue growth of 17-19% and full-year 2026 net revenue growth of 12-14%, with adjusted EBITDA expanding in the mid-20s percentage range, suggesting management expects the efficiency gains of 2025 to carry forward.
