Publix saw both its revenue and net earnings rise in the second quarter of 2025, boosted in part by higher investment income.
The Florida-based grocery chain reported sales of $15.7 billion for the quarter ended June 29, up from $15.4 billion in the same period last year. Comparable store sales increased 0.1%. Net earnings rose to $1.3 billion, or $0.39 per share, compared to $1.1 billion, or $0.33 per share, in the year-ago quarter.
Publix attributed part of the earnings growth to a rise in investment income. The company’s stock price, which is available only to current employees and board members, increased from $15.10 to $15.95 per share, effective August 1.
CEO Kevin Murphy said he was proud of the efforts by Publix associates to deliver quality service and value to customers, adding that their commitment continues to drive the company’s success.
Publix operates over 1,400 stores across the southeastern United States.
