Pitney Bowes (PBI) stock soared 12.60% during Wednesday's intraday trading session, marking a significant upward movement for the company's shares.

The sharp increase was primarily driven by the company's release of better-than-expected fourth-quarter 2025 financial results. Pitney Bowes reported adjusted earnings per share of $0.45 for Q4 2025, significantly surpassing the analyst consensus estimate of $0.38. This performance was highlighted by a jump in GAAP earnings per share to $0.17, representing an increase of over 100 percent compared to the prior year period.

Adding to the positive investor sentiment, the company issued its 2026 financial guidance, projecting adjusted earnings per share in the range of $1.40 to $1.60. The company also demonstrated strong capital management through share repurchases and debt reduction during the quarter, with CEO Kurt Wolf's shareholder letter mentioning an increase in the share buyback authorization by $250 million, further bolstering confidence.
