Xero Limited released new U.S. small business data showing a widening gap between strong Wall Street performance and weaker Main Street conditions. Using aggregated, anonymized data from 32,000 Xero subscribers, Xero reported average small business sales growth of 2.4% year over year in 2025, well below its long-term average, with momentum improving through September before slowing sharply in the December quarter amid tariff-related pressures. Payment conditions improved throughout the year, with late payments and time to be paid both falling to their shortest levels in several years, offering some cash-flow relief even as sales growth softened.
