Shares of Uniti Group Inc (UNIT) are soaring 5.06% in pre-market trading on Tuesday following the release of its third-quarter 2025 earnings report. The company's results, highlighted by a significant jump in net income and strong growth in its fiber business, have sparked investor optimism despite a revenue miss.
Uniti Group reported a substantial increase in net income for Q3 2025, reaching $1.609 billion, which includes a one-time gain related to its merger with Windstream. The company's earnings per share (EPS) skyrocketed to $4.92, up from just $0.08 in the same quarter last year, significantly outperforming market expectations. While the revenue of $722.6 million fell short of analyst estimates, investors appear to be focusing on the company's strong bottom-line performance and growth prospects.
The telecommunications infrastructure company highlighted impressive growth in its fiber business segments. Consolidated fiber revenue grew by 13% year-over-year, with Kinetic consumer fiber revenue surging 26% and subscriber base expanding by 17%. This robust performance in the high-growth fiber sector seems to be a key driver of investor enthusiasm. Additionally, Uniti Group maintained its full-year 2025 revenue guidance range of $2.215 billion to $2.265 billion, demonstrating confidence in its business outlook despite the Q3 revenue miss. The company's ability to sustain its guidance in the face of challenges appears to be bolstering investor confidence and contributing to the stock's pre-market rally.
