Did TOST Beat Earnings? Q4 2025 Results
Toast served up a mixed quarter to close out fiscal 2025, delivering a top-line beat alongside a notable earnings miss that sent shares lower despite record operational momentum. The restaurant technology company posted Q4 revenue of $1.63 billion, ahead of the $1.61 billion consensus and up 22.1% year over year, yet earnings per share of $0.16 fell well short of the $0.24 analysts had expected, a gap of 33.33%. The headline driver behind the quarter's divergent story was accelerating investment in growth, as Toast added roughly 8,000 net locations in Q4 alone to finish the full year with a record 30,000 net new locations and approximately 164,000 total, up 22% year over year. Annualized Recurring Revenue crossed $2.05 billion, growing 26%, underscoring the durability of the company's subscription model. Despite the EPS shortfall, Toast guided full-year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA of $775 million to $795 million, signaling confidence that expanding profitability and sustained location growth will continue converting scale into earnings power.
