Financial technology company Stripe has reported higher pre-tax profits and revenues for the year to the end of December 2025 on the back of securing new orders.<\/p>\n
Profit on ordinary activities before tax at Stripe Payments International Holdings Limited, the parent company for its business in EMEA and APAC, rose to $445.6m from $101.9m the previous year.<\/p>\n
Revenues for the year jumped by 33% to $6.79 billion from $5.12 billion in 2024.<\/p>\n
Stripe – which was founded by John and Patrick Collison – specialises in payment processing but has been rapidly growing into other areas of financial services and digital transactions.<\/p>\n
In its results statement today, the company said that cost of sales increased by 26% to $5.3 billion, driven by increased processing fees in line with volume growth, while administrative expenses were up 21% to $1.2 billion.<\/p>\n
It noted that both metrics grew more slowly than revenue, which it said reflected continued operating efficiency and improving unit economics.<\/p>\n
Last year, businesses running on Stripe generated $1.9 trillion in total volume, up 34% from 2024, and equivalent to roughly 1.6% of global GDP.<\/p>\n
In the Collison brothers’ annual letter to staff, they said that Stripe remained robustly profitable, allowing them to continue investing heavily in product development – with more than 350 product updates last year – as well as acquisitions.<\/p>\n
“All in all, 2025 was a strong year for the internet economy, and we’re delighted to see so many of Stripe’s customers do so well,” they added.<\/p>\n
They said that many more new companies joined Stripe last year than ever before, with 57% based outside the US.<\/p>\n
“This new cohort is by far the highest performing and fastest moving we’ve ever seen, growing around 50% faster than the 2024 cohort,” the Collisons added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Financial technology company Stripe has reported higher pre-tax profits and revenues for the year to the end of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":634034,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[72,61,60],"class_list":["post-634033","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-business","tag-ie","tag-ireland"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/634033","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=634033"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/634033\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/634034"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=634033"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=634033"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=634033"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
