Publix Super Markets reported fiscal 2025 sales of $62.7 billion, a 5 percent increase from $59.7 billion in 2024. Comparable store sales for the fiscal year ended Dec. 27, 2025, increased 3.5 percent.
“Our greatest asset is our associates,” said Publix CEO Kevin Murphy. “I’m proud of their dedication to continuous improvement and commitment to delivering exceptional customer service.”
For the fourth quarter, sales were $16 billion, a 2.8 percent increase from $15.5 billion in 2024. Comparable store sales for the three months ended Dec. 27, 2025, increased 0.7 percent.
The company noted the Q4 2025 sales comparison was affected by Hurricane Milton, which hit Florida in October 2024 and boosted the prior year’s results. Publix estimated the increase in Q4 2025 sales was 1.3 percent lower due to the hurricane’s impact on 2024 figures. Excluding the hurricane effect, Q4 2025 sales would have increased 4.1 percent.
Net earnings for Q4 2025 and Q4 2024 were $1.2 billion. Earnings per share for Q4 2025 decreased to $0.36 per share, down from $0.37 per share in 2024.
Full-year net earnings rose 2.1% to $4.7 billion, compared to $4.6 billion in 2024. Earnings per share for fiscal 2025 increased to $1.46 per share, up from $1.41 per share in 2024.
Excluding the impact of net unrealized gains on equity securities, net earnings for fiscal 2025 would have been $4.2 billion, compared to $4 billion in 2024, an increase of 3.9 percent. Earnings per share on an adjusted basis would have been $1.30 per share, compared to $1.23 per share in 2024.
