Stock Track | First Advantage Soars 5.04% in Pre-market on Strong Q4 Earnings Beat and Upbeat 2026 Guidance

Stock Track02-26

First Advantage Corp. (FA) shares surged 5.04% in pre-market trading on Thursday, following the release of its fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 financial results.

The significant price movement was driven by the company reporting better-than-expected quarterly earnings and revenue, alongside the announcement of a new $100 million share repurchase program. First Advantage posted Q4 adjusted earnings per share of $0.30, surpassing the analyst consensus estimate of $0.26 by 14.07%. Quarterly sales reached $420.017 million, beating estimates of $391.885 million by 7.18% and representing a 36.76% increase year-over-year. The company also issued full-year 2026 revenue guidance in the range of $1.625 billion to $1.70 billion, which compares favorably to the FactSet estimate of $1.62 billion.

Management cited strong customer retention of 97% in the fourth quarter, completion of core integration activities for the Sterling acquisition, and strength in targeted verticals like retail, staffing, and healthcare as key drivers of the quarterly performance. The new share repurchase authorization and positive forward outlook further bolstered investor sentiment ahead of the market open.
