 Frontdoor shares surge nearly 5% as Q2 earnings beat expectations

MEMPHIS - On Tuesday, Frontdoor , Inc. (NASDAQ:FTDR) reported second-quarter 2025 results that exceeded analyst expectations, driven by strong revenue growth and margin expansion.

The company’s gross profit margin increased 130 basis points to a second-quarter record of 58%, while adjusted EBITDA rose 26% to $199 million. Net income grew 21% to $111 million compared to the prior-year period.
