Shares of Upbound Group climbed after the company posted fourth-quarter adjusted earnings and revenue that exceeded Wall Street's expectations.

The stock leapt 9.7% to $22.90 in Thursday afternoon trading. The shares have retreated 21% in the past year.

The owner of Rent-A-Center and Acima reported a fourth-quarter profit of $19.7 million, or 34 cents a share, compared with $31 million, or 55 cents a share, a year earlier.

Adjusted earnings came in at $1.01 a share, beating the 97 cents that analysts expected, according to FactSet.

Consolidated revenue grew 11% to $1.2 billion. Analysts polled by FactSet anticipated $1.17 billion.

The company attributed the top-line gains to its 2025 acquisition of financial health app Brigit and revenue growth from Acima.

Acima revenue increased by 8.6% to $631 million, while Brigit revenue came in at $64.6 million. Rent-A-Center revenue remained flat at $479.9 million, but the brand saw same store sales growth of 0.8%.

Upbound anticipates full-year adjusted earnings of $4.00 to $4.35 a share on revenue in the range of $4.7 billion to $4.95 billion. Wall Street forecast 2026 adjusted earnings of $4.60 a share on revenue of $5.01 billion, according to FactSet.
