Shares of Abacus Global Management (NASDAQ: ABL) jumped 7.55% in after-hours trading on Thursday following the release of the company's fourth quarter and full-year 2024 financial results, which exceeded analyst expectations, and the announcement of a positive outlook for 2025.
The alternative asset management firm reported total revenue for Q4 2024 of $33.2 million, marking a 40% increase year-over-year and surpassing the analyst consensus estimate of $29.76 million. Despite posting a GAAP net loss of $18.3 million for the quarter, Abacus's adjusted net income more than doubled to $13.4 million, compared to $5.9 million in the prior-year period.
Investors were particularly encouraged by Abacus's 2025 outlook. The company initiated guidance for full-year 2025 adjusted net income to be between $70 million and $78 million, implying growth of 51% to 68% compared to the full year 2024 adjusted net income of $46.5 million. This strong projection, coupled with the company's record full-year revenue growth of 69% in 2024, appears to have fueled the after-hours stock surge.
