Jumia Technologies AG (JMIA) seen Nearing Full-Year Profitability amid Ongoing GMV Growth

Jumia Technologies AG is projected to reach EBITDA break-even by Q4 2026 and full-year profitability in 2027, according to Cantor Fitzgerald. Despite Q4 2025 revenue slightly missing expectations, the company saw significant GMV growth of 36% year-over-year and narrowed its adjusted EBITDA loss. Jumia plans to focus on refining its market footprint, optimizing costs, and leveraging operations, with anticipated GMV growth of 27-32% for Q1 and full-year 2026.
