Jumia Technologies AG's stock surged 6.28% during pre-market trading on Tuesday, following the release of its fourth-quarter 2025 financial results that showed significant growth across key metrics.
The company reported a 34% year-over-year increase in revenue to $61.4 million, while gross merchandise value (GMV) rose 36% to $279.5 million. Gross profit jumped 43% to $34.2 million, and the operating loss narrowed substantially to $10.6 million from $17.3 million in the same period last year. The results were driven by strong performance in Nigeria, where orders increased 33% and GMV grew 50%, along with an 82% surge in items sold from international sellers.
Jumia also provided an optimistic outlook, projecting GMV growth between 27% and 32% for 2026 and targeting breakeven on an Adjusted EBITDA basis by the fourth quarter of 2026. The company's strategic decision to cease operations in Algeria, which accounted for only 2% of GMV, is expected to enhance operational efficiency and resource allocation in core markets.
