Vipshop Posting Strong Profit as Apparel Sales Supporting Growth

Vipshop Holdings [NYSE: VIPS] reported stronger-than-expected fourth-quarter earnings, sending its stock up nearly 6.5% in premarket trading today.

The Chinese online discount retailer posted revenue of $4.55 billion (33.2 billion Chinese yuan), surpassing Wall Street's estimate of $4.42 billion despite a 4.2% decline from the previous year.

The company’s adjusted earnings per ADS are at $0.78, beating analyst expectations of $0.72.

Total orders for the quarter are down to 217.5 million from 234.3 million in the same period last year, while the number of active customers has declined to 45.7 million from 48.5 million.

Gross margin is at 23%, down from 23.7% a year ago, while gross profit dropped 7.4% to $1.04 billion (7.6 billion Chinese yuan).

However, total gross merchandise value (GMV) is relatively stable at $9.12 billion (66.2 billion Chinese yuan) compared to $9.15 billion (66.4 billion yuan) a year prior.

Vipshop is repurchasing $43.3 million of ADS shares under its ongoing $1 billion buyback program, set to run through February 2027.

CEO Eric Shen highlighted strong performance in the apparel segment, with seasonal discounting helping total GMV exceed 200 billion Chinese yuan in 2024.

For the first quarter of 2025, Vipshop expects revenue between $3.62 billion (26.3 billion yuan) and $3.8 billion (27.6 billion Chinese yuan), representing a year-over-year decline of up to 5%.

Shares are up nearly 15% in the past six months, supported by China’s economic stimulus measures.

TXNM Energy Projects Strong 2025 Growth With $7.8 Billion Investment

TXNM Energy [NYSE: TXNM] reported its 2024 financial results today, announcing GAAP earnings of $2.67 per diluted share and ongoing earnings of $2.74 per share, aligning with prior projections.

The company also introduced a 2025 earnings guidance range of $2.74 to $2.84 per share, citing robust expansion in Texas and a mid-year rate adjustment for PNM customers.

Chairman and CEO Pat Vincent-Collawn emphasized the company’s commitment to grid enhancements, particularly in Texas, while balancing rate changes in New Mexico to minimize customer impact.

TXNM Energy revised its long-term earnings growth target to 7%-9% and expanding its five-year capital investment plan to $7.8 billion, a 26% increase over the previous plan.

This adjustment includes substantial investments in Texas transmission infrastructure following the ERCOT Permian Basin Reliability Study.

Segment-wise, PNM earnings improved due to market gains and new rates, while TNMP saw revenue growth through regulatory adjustments despite mild summer conditions.

Meanwhile, corporate expenses increased due to higher interest rates and the sale of NMRD.

With a 12% projected increase in its regulated rate base, TXNM Energy anticipates sustained financial strength and operational growth through 2029.

Metals Powering the Future (Sponsored)

AI Is Booming—But What’s Powering It Could Be Even Bigger

Investing in AI is huge—but what if you could get ahead by investing in the materials powering it all?

That’s where one Canadian mining company comes in. Their high-grade polymetallic discovery in Quebec is already drawing comparisons to Russia’s Norilsk Mine—one of the world’s most valuable metal deposits.

While everyone’s chasing AI investments, those who invest in the resources fueling the revolution could be positioned for even bigger gains.
