LPLA Fundamental Analysis

Revenue and profitability have been volatile on a quarterly basis. Q4 2025 revenue was $4.93 billion, showing strong year-over-year growth of 40.43% compared to Q4 2024. However, net income swung from a loss of $29.5 million in Q3 2025 to a profit of $300.7 million in Q4 2025, with the net margin recovering to 6.1% from negative territory.

Financial health appears mixed. The company maintains a strong current ratio of 2.42, indicating good short-term liquidity. However, the debt-to-equity ratio is elevated at 1.36, suggesting a leveraged balance sheet. Cash flow from operations was positive at $661.9 million in Q4 2025, but trailing twelve-month free cash flow is negative at -$1.10 billion, largely impacted by significant working capital changes and acquisitions.

Operational efficiency metrics show a return on equity (ROE) of 16.15% and a return on assets (ROA) of 5.43%, which are reasonable. The quarterly asset turnover has fluctuated, reaching 0.267 in Q4 2025, indicating the company generates about $0.27 in revenue for every dollar of assets.
