Investment Highlights
Why It Matters
Which of these 2 stories sounds closer for this stock?
1. Generates cash flow
The stock generated 4% or more of the share price (called cash flow yield), and shows moderate 10-15% or more growth.
2. Riding a trend
Think Tesla during the pandemic of 2020 when EVs were riding a cultural high, or Nvidia in the current AI boom, or even Figma. These companies don’t have enough yield, or, enough growth, or both - however - they are riding a trend. They have momentum. These can be more volatile - they don’t have the floor of strong cash flow

Why The Stock Moved
Qualitative Assessment
AI Generated Analysis | Feedback
Here are the key points explaining the approximate -21.8% movement in IDT (symbol: IDT) stock from August 31, 2025, to December 4, 2025:
1. Missed Q4 Fiscal Year 2025 Earnings Per Share and Conservative FY26 Guidance.
IDT reported its fourth-quarter fiscal year 2025 earnings on September 29, 2025, where its earnings per share (EPS) of $0.76 fell short of the forecasted $0.91, representing a -16.48% surprise. Additionally, the company's full-year guidance for fiscal year 2026 projected Adjusted EBITDA growth of only 8.6%, suggesting a slowdown in business momentum. The GAAP EPS also experienced a significant decline of 53.8% due to the absence of a prior-year tax benefit.
2. Slowing Growth and Emerging Headwinds in Key Segments.
The company faced challenges in its fastest-growing segments, National Retail Solutions (NRS) and BOSS Money. NRS experienced an 8% year-over-year decline in advertising revenue, attributed to bad debt risk exposure with a large programmatic partner. Concurrently, the BOSS Money remittance business encountered increased regulatory pressure.
