The latest announcement is out from ARKO Corp ( (ARKO) ).
For the fourth quarter and full year ended Dec. 31, 2025, ARKO Corp. swung to quarterly net income of $1.9 million from a $2.3 million loss and grew full-year net income 9.1% to $22.7 million, while quarterly adjusted EBITDA rose 15.6% to $65.7 million and full-year adjusted EBITDA of $248.7 million landed above the midpoint of guidance. The company expanded merchandise and retail fuel margins despite lower fuel gallons and merchandise revenue, and its ongoing store conversion and remodel strategy — including the fas craves format launched in June 2025 — is delivering double-digit sales lifts and expected annualized operating income benefits exceeding $20 million plus over $10 million in projected G&A savings at scale.
On Feb. 13, 2026, ARKO’s subsidiary ARKO Petroleum Corp. completed an IPO that raised roughly $184 million, which the company used to reduce debt and bolster financial flexibility while retaining 75.9% of APC’s economic interests. Management highlighted the creation of two focused growth platforms, an accelerated channel-optimization plan targeting more dealer conversions and fleet fueling sites in 2026, continued investment in higher-margin retail sub-segments and new-to-industry locations, and a $0.03 per-share dividend payable March 20, 2026, underscoring a strategy aimed at reinforcing ARKO’s competitive position and cash generation in a fragmented fuel and convenience market.
