SunOpta (STKL) stock surged 7.71% in pre-market trading on Thursday following the release of its impressive second-quarter 2025 financial results and an upward revision of its full-year revenue guidance. The plant-based food and beverage company reported significant growth across key financial metrics, instilling confidence in investors about its future prospects.
The company's Q2 2025 performance showcased robust growth, with revenue increasing 13% year-over-year to $191 million, driven by a 14% volume growth. Gross profit saw an even more substantial rise of 34% to $28.4 million, while adjusted EBITDA grew by 14% to $22.7 million. Notably, SunOpta reversed its fortunes from the previous year, reporting net earnings from continuing operations of $4.4 million, compared to a $4.4 million loss in Q2 2024.
Adding to the positive sentiment, SunOpta raised its fiscal 2025 revenue guidance to $805 million–$815 million, while reaffirming its adjusted EBITDA outlook at $99 million–$103 million. The company also announced a strategic $25 million investment in a new fruit snacks manufacturing line, expected to increase output by 25% in late 2026. This move, coupled with management's optimistic projections for gross margin improvements to 18%-19% in fiscal 2026 and approximately 20% in fiscal 2027, appears to have resonated well with investors, contributing to the stock's significant uptick.
