Dole ( (DOLE) ) has provided an update.
On February 25, 2026, Dole reported its fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results, highlighting revenue growth and solid operating performance despite profit pressure from higher fruit costs and one-off items. Fourth-quarter revenue rose 9.2% to $2.4 billion with net income of $6 million, while full-year revenue increased 8.2% to $9.2 billion, net income fell to $82 million, and Adjusted EBITDA edged up to $395.4 million, slightly above guidance and market expectations.
The Group’s 2025 results were driven by strong growth in its two Diversified Fresh Produce segments, which offset weakness in Fresh Fruit, and were shaped by portfolio moves including the sale of the Fresh Vegetables business and an agreement to sell Ecuador port assets for about $75 million. Dole cut net debt to $606.5 million, secured board approval for up to $100 million of share repurchases, and, alongside its transition to U.S. Domestic Issuer filings, underscored ongoing balance-sheet strengthening and efforts to enhance index inclusion and shareholder returns.
The most recent analyst rating on (DOLE) stock is a Hold with a $17.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Dole stock, see the DOLE Stock Forecast page.
