Green Dot Corporation (NYSE: GDOT) is witnessing a significant pre-market surge of 18.43% on Tuesday, building on its impressive 18.03% gain from Monday's after-hours trading. This substantial increase comes in the wake of the company's stellar second-quarter 2025 financial results and an upward revision of its full-year guidance, both of which considerably outperformed market expectations.
The financial technology company reported Q2 adjusted earnings per share of $0.40, more than doubling the analyst consensus estimate of $0.18 and marking a 60% increase from the same period last year. Green Dot's quarterly revenue also exceeded expectations, coming in at $504.18 million compared to the consensus estimate of $490.57 million, representing a robust 23.8% year-over-year growth.
Adding to the positive sentiment, Green Dot has raised its outlook for the full year 2025. The company now expects adjusted earnings per share between $1.28 and $1.42, up from the previous guidance of $1.14 to $1.28. Additionally, Green Dot increased its adjusted EBITDA forecast to $160-170 million from $150-160 million. This improved guidance signals management's confidence in the company's growth trajectory and operational efficiency, despite reporting a net loss of $47.025 million for the quarter. As a provider of prepaid debit cards and banking services, Green Dot's strong performance and optimistic outlook may be seen as indicators of positive trends in the broader fintech and consumer financial services sectors.
