Owlet, Inc. OWLT reported a fourth-quarter fiscal 2025 loss per share that was narrower than the Zacks Consensus Estimate and improved year over year. Quarterly revenues topped the consensus mark and grew year over year.

Although revenue growth remained robust, profitability continued to reflect ongoing investments and external cost pressures, including tariff impacts on product costs. Nevertheless, the company delivered improved operating performance compared with the prior-year period. With more than 110,000 paying Owlet360 subscribers, Owlet believes its recurring revenue model is strengthening long-term growth visibility.

Opendoor Technologies Inc.'s OPEN fourth-quarter 2025 results suggest the early stages of an operating inflection, even as headline numbers remain pressured. Opendoor reported an adjusted EBITDA loss of $43 million, narrower than the $49 million loss in the prior-year period.

Opendoor’s turnaround blueprint is centered on three pillars: scaling acquisitions, improving unit economics and resale velocity, and building operating leverage. Fourth-quarter acquisitions rose 46% sequentially, while homes on the market for more than 120 days declined sharply, supporting faster inventory turns and healthier contribution dynamics. Looking ahead, Opendoor guided to a first-quarter 2026 adjusted EBITDA loss in the low to mid-$30 million range, implying continued sequential improvement.

SoundHound AI, Inc. SOUN reported fourth-quarter 2025 results, wherein earnings came in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate, but revenues surpassed the same.
