PowerFleet (AIOT) Stock Skyrockets: Q4 Revenue Jumps 42% While EPS Stumbles

PowerFleet''s Q4 earnings drop a bombshell—revenue surges 42% but EPS trips over Wall Street''s expectations.

The Good, The Bad, and The IoT

While the top-line growth screams ''growth stock darling,'' bottom-line misses whisper ''typical tech hype cycle.'' AIOT''s connected fleet solutions are clearly gaining traction—just not fast enough to please the spreadsheet warriors.

The company’s subscriber base expanded dramatically from 700,000 to 2.8 million, reflecting strong market adoption and retention. Integration synergies of $16 million helped boost profitability.

Record Full-Year Performance

For the full fiscal year 2025, PowerFleet delivered record revenue of $362.5 million, nearly tripling its FY24 performance. Adjusted EBITDA also showed a tenfold increase, rising to $71 million from $7 million in the prior year. These gains were largely attributed to the strategic acquisitions of MiX and Fleet Complete and aggressive customer base expansion.

Despite these positive developments, net debt ROSE slightly to $228.6 million, exceeding guidance by $6.4 million. This reflects the financial outlay required for acquisitions and restructuring efforts.

Future Outlook and Challenges

Looking ahead, PowerFleet set an ambitious FY26 revenue target of approximately $430 million and an EBITDA target of $105 million. However, management warned of a potential slowdown in the first half of FY26 due to macroeconomic headwinds, extended sales cycles, and capital expenditure constraints affecting customer spending.

Analysts remain optimistic with a projected 95.83% upside potential based on the stock’s current price, but GuruFocus indicates caution with a possible downside risk of 55.51%.

Conclusion

Despite these achievements, PowerFleet faces challenges linked to its legacy MiX and Fleet Complete operations, including customer churn and underinvestment in customer success. The company also expects temporary revenue growth slowdowns in early FY26 due to broader economic uncertainty and delayed client investments, though its long-term outlook remains positive.
