The fast lane through airport security is taking off in the stock market.

Clear Secure, which runs the identity-verification service that has become ubiquitous in airports over the past decade and a half, is set to close Tuesday at its highest level since August 2021. The stock is up more than 50% this year and rose 11% alone on Monday, as travelers encountered hourslong security lines amid a partial government shutdown and scrambled to find work-arounds.

Clear was trading around $55 on Tuesday, continuing the best two-day performance for the biometric identity platform since Feb. 25-26, when the company's stock rose 41% after it gave sales guidance well ahead of Wall Street estimates. Clear recorded $240.8 million in revenue in the fourth quarter of 2025, with the company citing increased demand and a multi-year partnership with American Express.

Clear last year introduced a new scanning system that aims to speed up the checkpoint experience for paying customers. Most of the company's revenue comes from subscriptions to its consumer service, Clear Plus, which costs $209 annually for an individual and $125 for each additional family member.
