▲(16.31% Upside)
Action:ReiteratedDate:02/17/26
The score is driven primarily by strong financial performance (growth and improving profitability with manageable leverage) and supportive technical momentum (price above key moving averages with positive MACD). The earnings call adds upside via constructive 2026 guidance and capital return (buyback), while valuation is a moderating factor due to a premium P/E and no provided dividend yield.
Positive Factors
Sustained Revenue Growth
Multi-year scaling with consecutive double-digit quarters demonstrates structural demand and effective go-to-market. Durable top-line momentum supports retailer shelf space, funds R&D and marketing, and underpins operating leverage that should sustain growth and margin expansion over the next 2–6 months.
Strong Cash Generation & Balance Sheet
Material operating cash flow and a net cash position provide durable financial flexibility. The ability to fund a $750M buyback without new debt, maintain revolver availability, and invest in capex/technology reduces refinancing and liquidity risk and supports strategic initiatives over the medium term.
Category & International Expansion
Rapid international growth and expansion into new subcategories (including Shark Beauty leadership) broaden addressable market and diversify revenue. Structural category wins and global expansion improve supplier scale, brand reach and reduce reliance on any single product or region over the coming months.
Negative Factors
Tariff-Related Margin Pressure
Persisting multi-country tariffs are an enduring headwind to gross margins and create ongoing cost push dynamics. Even with cost optimization and supply diversification, tariffs limit margin upside, constrain pricing flexibility, and could require sustained mix or sourcing changes over the next several quarters.
Elevated Inventory / Working Capital
Higher inventory ties up cash and elevates working-capital needs, reducing cash conversion resilience. Stock builds to mitigate tariffs risk heighten markdown and obsolescence exposure if demand softens, and make free cash flow volatile even with strong operating results over the medium term.
Distributor-to-Direct Execution Risk
Shifting markets from distributors to direct operations brings structural benefits but carries execution, timing and revenue phasing risk. Rollouts (Spain/Italy planned) require local ops, inventory and retailer re‑negotiation and can depress near-term international sales and margin performance if not executed smoothly.

SharkNinja, Inc. Earnings Call Summary

Earnings Call Date:Feb 11, 2026
(Q4-2025)
|
% Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:May 07, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call presents a strongly positive operational and financial story: record revenue, expanding margins, robust cash generation, international momentum, successful new categories (notably Shark Beauty), and a $750 million buyback authorization. Management also acknowledges tangible near-term headwinds — tariffs pressuring gross margins, short-term disruption from distributor-to-direct transitions in certain markets, elevated inventories, and an expected slowdown in growth rate for 2026 versus 2025. Overall, the upbeat results and strategic progress materially outweigh the manageable challenges, and the company retains clear levers to drive profitability and continued expansion.
Q4-2025 Updates
Positive Updates
Record Revenue and Sustained Top-Line Growth
Q4 net sales increased 17.6% year over year to $2.1 billion; full-year 2025 net sales were $6.4 billion, up nearly 16% year over year. SharkNinja delivered its eleventh consecutive quarter of double-digit top-line growth with domestic FY growth of ~13.5% and international FY growth of 20%.
Strong Profitability Expansion
Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter rose 36% year over year to $395 million (adjusted EBITDA margin 18.8%, up ~250 basis points). Full-year adjusted EBITDA was $1.14 billion, up >19% year over year, and adjusted EPS for the full year reached a record $5.28 (up ~21% year over year). Q4 adjusted EPS increased 38% to $1.93 and GAAP EPS nearly doubled from $0.91 to $1.80.
Gross Margin Improvement
Q4 adjusted gross margin expanded ~40 basis points to 48.2% of net sales (GAAP gross margin up ~90 bps to 47.9%). Full-year adjusted gross margin improved ~30 basis points to 49.4%, reflecting favorable mix and international margin expansion.
Strong Cash Generation and Capital Deployment
2025 cash from operating activities was $634 million; cash and cash equivalents ended the year at over $777 million (up >100% YoY). The company exited 2025 in a net cash position and announced a $750 million inaugural share repurchase authorization while maintaining $739 million of total debt and ~ $490 million available on its $500 million revolver.
International Momentum and Category Expansion
International net sales in Q4 grew 21.4% to $729 million; the UK grew 9.2% in Q4 and 7.3% for the full year. Mexico delivered triple-digit growth and Latin America showed rapid expansion. SharkNinja expanded to 38 subcategories in 2025 (adding propane grill and outdoor fire pit) and plans two additional category entries in 2026.
Breakout Product and Brand Wins
Shark Beauty emerged as a leader in beauty technology — Shark became the #1 skincare facial device brand in the U.S. Holiday successes included products like TrioGlow and FacialProGlow. Ninja Lux Cafe became the best-selling espresso SKU in the U.S. in under one year, and new products such as Ninja Fireside 360 drove new consumer acquisition.
Marketing, DTC, and Digital Traction
Social following across Instagram and TikTok reached 3.9 million, up 119% year over year. The redesigned sharkninja.com shows higher engagement, improved conversion, and increased average order value. Sales & marketing efficiency improved via advanced ROI dashboards and social optimization tools.
Supply Chain and Technology Investments
Supply chain diversification now enables nearly 100% of U.S. volume to be manufactured outside China, improving predictability and risk management. The company completed global Oracle implementation, launched Salesforce in US/Canada, and scaled AI initiatives (including moving contact center AI scoring from <5% to nearly 100%). Plans to hire ~100 software engineers to support AI/product initiatives.
Negative Updates
Tariff-Related Gross Margin Headwinds
Tariffs that became fully manifest in 2025 are expected to persist (guidance assumes minimum rates of ~20% for China/Vietnam and ~19% for several Southeast Asian countries) and create a notable gross margin headwind, particularly in the first half of 2026 despite cost optimization offsets.
Challenging Industry Backdrop
The total U.S. market the company participates in declined low single digits in 2025 (excluding SharkNinja), and the industry experienced mid-single-digit declines in Q4 (excluding SharkNinja), indicating broader macro pressures that the company is outperforming but still contending with.
Near-Term Disruption from Distributor-to-Direct Transitions
Transitions from distributor to direct operations (Nordics, Benelux, Poland completed; Spain and Italy planned for 2026) introduced 'noise' and short-term disruption. Management expects some Q1/Q2 transition impacts and is comping prior Mexico transition effects, causing temporary volatility in international results.
Higher Inventory Levels
Total inventories exited the quarter at $1.0 billion, up 11.4% year over year. Management indicates the increase reflects a healthy position post-tariff stock draw, but higher inventory is a working capital consideration to monitor.
Guidance Shows Deceleration vs. 2025 Pace
2026 guidance targets net sales growth of 10–11% (vs ~16% in 2025) and adjusted EBITDA growth of 12–13% (vs >19% in 2025), reflecting an expected deceleration driven by tariffs and normalizing dynamics despite continued double-digit growth and margin expansion.
Company Guidance
SharkNinja guided to 2026 net sales growth of 10–11% year‑over‑year (vs. FY2025 net sales of $6.4B), adjusted EBITDA of $1.27–$1.28B (up ~12–13% from $1.14B in 2025), adjusted net income per diluted share of $5.90–$6.00 (up ~12–14% from $5.28), net interest expense roughly flat versus 2025, a GAAP effective tax rate of about 22–23%, and capital expenditures of $190–$210M; the outlook assumes current tariff levels persist (minimum rates cited: China 20%, Vietnam 20%, and ~19% for Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia and Cambodia), and management expects adjusted EBITDA to expand faster than the top line.

SharkNinja, Inc. Financial Statement Overview

Summary
Strong multi-year revenue growth and improving profitability into 2024, with leverage manageable and improving (lower debt-to-equity) and strong ROE. Cash flow improved in 2024 and appears very strong in 2025, but cash conversion has been uneven and several 2025 margin/leverage fields are missing, which reduces confidence in the latest run-rate quality.
Income Statement
78
Positive
Revenue has scaled strongly from $2.75B (2020) to $5.53B (2024), with solid acceleration into 2024. Profitability also improved meaningfully in 2024 versus 2023 (net income up to ~$439M from ~$167M), and operating profitability remains healthy (2024 EBIT margin ~11.5%, EBITDA margin ~13.7%). Offsetting this, margins have been volatile over the cycle (notably lower than 2020 levels), and the 2025 annual margin fields are unavailable, limiting visibility into the most recent profitability quality.
Balance Sheet
74
Positive
Leverage appears manageable and improving: debt-to-equity declined from ~0.59 (2023) to ~0.49 (2024) as equity expanded. Returns on equity are strong (about 23% in 2024), indicating good profitability relative to the capital base. The main watch-out is absolute debt has trended up alongside growth (to ~$939M in 2024 and ~$1.02B in 2025), and several 2025 ratio fields are missing, reducing clarity on the latest leverage and return profile.
Cash Flow
71
Positive
Cash generation improved materially in 2024, with operating cash flow rising to ~$447M and free cash flow to ~$295M, and free cash flow growth turning positive versus prior declines. Cash conversion is decent but not consistently strong: in 2024, free cash flow was about two-thirds of net income, and operating cash flow relative to net income is less than 1x (suggesting working-capital or timing headwinds). 2025 shows strong free cash flow (~$634M) and 1.0x free cash flow to net income, but year-over-year comparability is limited because the 2025 free cash flow equals operating cash flow (capex not evident in the provided data).

Positive
Feb 11, 2026

On February 11, 2026, SharkNinja reported fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results showing strong top- and bottom-line momentum, with Q4 net sales up 17.6% to $2.1 billion and full-year revenue up 15.7% to $6.4 billion, driven by double-digit growth across all four product categories and standout gains of more than 45% in Beauty and Home Environment Appliances. Profitability also improved materially, with 2025 net income rising 59.9% to $701.4 million, adjusted EBITDA up 19.4% to $1.14 billion, and margins expanding on cost optimization and scale, supporting the Board’s move on February 11, 2026 to authorize an inaugural, open-ended $750 million share repurchase program expected to begin in fiscal 2026, signaling confidence in cash generation and long-term shareholder returns.

The buyback authorization does not obligate SharkNinja to repurchase a specific amount of stock, and its pace will depend on business conditions, market environment, regulatory requirements, and prevailing share prices. Management emphasized that the program will be funded without new debt, underscoring the strength of the balance sheet and reinforcing SharkNinja’s positioning as a high-growth, profitable consumer technology player with increasing flexibility to return capital to investors.
