Grid Dynamics Holdings, Inc. reported fourth‑quarter 2025 revenue of $106.2 million, a record for the company and slightly above the midpoint of its guidance range of $105.0 million to $107.0 million. The company’s non‑GAAP earnings per share were $0.10, beating the consensus estimate of $0.09 and marking a 16.7 percent decline from the $0.12 EPS reported in the prior year’s fourth quarter. The quarter’s revenue growth of 5.9 percent year‑over‑year was driven by strong performance in the Finance and Technology, Media & Telecom (TMT) verticals, while the Retail segment experienced a 6.9 percent decline.
The company’s gross margin fell to 34.5 percent from 37.5 percent in the same quarter a year earlier, and GAAP gross margin slipped to 34.0 percent from 36.9 percent. Management attributed the compression to higher cost of sales in key delivery locations and foreign‑exchange headwinds, while noting that pricing power and operational efficiencies have helped offset some of those headwinds. Full‑year 2025 revenue reached $411.8 million, a record and a 17.5 percent increase from the $363.5 million reported in 2024.
AI services accounted for 25 percent of Q4 revenue and grew 30 percent year‑over‑year, contributing more than $90 million in revenue for the full year. CEO Leonard Livschitz said, "I am delighted to share that Grid Dynamics closed 2025 with record revenues. Our top three customers are leaders in the AI space: two are global technology companies, and one is the largest payment technology company. AI represented 25 percent of our fourth quarter revenues. For 2025, our AI revenue exceeded $90 million, representing 30 percent year‑over‑year growth." Livschitz also highlighted the company’s commitment to innovation and strategic execution.
Management guidance for the first quarter of 2026 projects revenue of $103 million to $104 million, below analyst estimates of $106.6 million. The lower guidance signals caution about near‑term demand, while the margin compression and the decline in retail revenue suggest that the company faces headwinds that may temper growth momentum. CTO Eugene Steinberg noted, "The most exciting areas are AI‑powered customer experiences and enterprise platforms. Clients see quick ROI, allowing us to expand accounts rapidly."
Top five customers contributed 39.7 percent of total revenue in Q4 2025, indicating a concentration risk but also a strong relationship with high‑profile clients. The company’s focus on AI and its expanding AI revenue base position it to capture continued demand, but the guidance miss and margin pressure highlight the need for disciplined cost management and a balanced portfolio of high‑margin services.
