Klaviyo Inc. (NYSE:KVYO) is one of the Stocks to Watch Right Now.

Klaviyo extended its winning streak to a fourth consecutive day on Thursday, jumping 8.45 percent to finish at $21.18 apiece after unveiling a $500 million share repurchase program in a bid to boost shareholder value.

In a statement earlier in the week, Klaviyo Inc. (NYSE:KVYO) said that the buyback would involve its Series A common stocks, of which some $100 million will be acquired through an accelerated share repurchase transaction.

“This new authorization and accelerated share repurchase underscores the confidence our board of directors and management team have in the durability of our strategy, the scale of the opportunity ahead, and our belief that Klaviyo represents an attractive long-term investment. Our strong balance sheet and consistent cash generation give us the flexibility to invest in AI-driven innovation and platform expansion while also returning capital when we believe it creates long-term shareholder value,” Klaviyo Inc. (NYSE:KVYO) co-CEO Andrew Bialecki said.

The initiative followed the company’s stellar earnings performance in the fourth quarter of 2025, having swung to a net income of $7.03 million from a $26.97 million net loss in the same period a year earlier. Revenues jumped by 30 percent to $350.19 million from $270.16 million year-on-year.

In the full-year period, Klaviyo Inc. (NYSE:KVYO) remained at a net loss of $31.77 million, although 31 percent lower than the $46.14 million year-on-year.

Revenues, on the other hand, jumped by 32 percent to $1.2 billion from $937 million.
