Earnings beat, stock plunges. FN reported Q4 2025 GAAP EPS of $3.36 versus the $3.25 consensus estimate, a beat of 3.4%. The electronic components maker delivered its fourth consecutive quarterly beat, yet shares collapsed 10.1% to $489.38 on volume of 545,247 shares—signaling investors focused on the forward outlook rather than the backward result. Net income reached $377.1 million for the quarter.
Revenue climbs, margins compress. Q4 revenue of $1.13 billion rose 15.8% sequentially from Q3’s $978.1 million, marking the strongest quarterly top line of fiscal 2025. Gross profit of $467.6 million translated to a 41.3% gross margin, while operating income of $377.8 million yielded a 33.4% operating margin. EBITDA reached $465.7 million for the quarter. The company closed the period with $319.9 million in cash against just $4.9 million in total debt, maintaining a fortress balance sheet with $2.18 billion in stockholders’ equity.
Guidance disappoints sharply. Management issued Q1 2026 guidance of $2.48 to $2.63 GAAP EPS on revenue of $910 million to $950 million—the midpoint of $930 million represents a 17.9% sequential decline from Q4’s $1.13 billion. The steep sequential drop explains the market’s harsh reaction despite the Q4 beat. Free cash flow turned negative at -$5.4 million in Q4 as capital expenditures of $51.7 million outpaced operating cash flow of $46.3 million, a reversal from the company’s typical cash generation pattern.
