Over the past six reported quarters, revenue has moved from US$100.4 million in Q4 2024 to US$124.3 million in Q4 2025. Over the same period, quarterly EPS has ranged from a profit of US$0.30 to a loss of US$0.10, giving investors a mixed read on how much of that top line is flowing through to the bottom line. With the shares at US$8.54, this latest update puts the focus squarely on whether Porch can convert its growing revenue base into more consistent margins.

TTM still shows a US$3.4 million loss
- On a trailing twelve month basis to Q4 2025, Porch Group reported total revenue of US$482.4 million and a net loss of US$3.4 million, so the business is close to breakeven over the year even though Q4 alone showed a US$3.5 million loss.
- Bulls point out that trailing losses have been reduced at about 24.7% per year over the past five years and see this as evidence that earnings can improve from here.
- That historical loss reduction sits alongside the Q4 2025 EPS loss of US$0.03 and the TTM EPS of roughly US$0.03 loss, which together show the company operating around breakeven on a per share basis over the last year.
- Bullish forecasts in the data call for earnings growth of 84.65% per year, so the small TTM loss is being treated as a stepping stone, even though the company is still unprofitable today.
P/S of 1.9x and DCF fair value gap
- With the share price at US$8.54, Porch Group is trading on a P/S of 1.9x, which is below the US Software industry average of 3.7x and the cited peer average of 4.1x, and the supplied DCF fair value of US$21.65 sits well above the current price.
- Supporters of the bullish view lean on this combination of a lower P/S and a DCF fair value above the market price as a key part of the value case.
- The roughly 1.9x P/S against industry at 3.7x means the multiple is about half the sector level, which bulls read as the market applying a discount despite the company generating US$482.4 million of TTM revenue.
- The DCF fair value of US$21.65, compared with the current US$8.54 price, points to a large gap to that modelled value, which bulls argue leaves room if the earnings path lines up with the forecasts in the datasets you have.
Q4 swing back to loss after earlier profits
- Across FY 2025, Porch Group moved from quarterly EPS profits of US$0.08 in Q1 and US$0.03 in Q2 to losses of US$0.10 in Q3 and US$0.03 in Q4, with quarterly net income ranging from a US$8.4 million profit in Q1 to a US$10.9 million loss in Q3 and a US$3.5 million loss in Q4.
- Bears focus on this flip back into losses and argue that relying on very low loss ratios and housing tied transaction volumes could keep earnings choppy.
- The FY 2025 pattern, where TTM net income went from a US$55.8 million profit at Q2 2025 to a US$3.4 million loss by Q4 2025, is the kind of volatility critics highlight when they question how smooth future profitability will be.
- Those cautious views sit next to trailing revenue growth of 9.1% per year, which is below the cited 10.4% market rate, so bears see both slower revenue growth and variable profits when they stress test the story.
