Backblaze, Inc. reported Q4 2025 results, beating revenue and EPS estimates, but top-line growth is decelerating and core operating leverage is weakening. Despite improved operating losses, BLZE faces gross margin headwinds in 2026 and must offset a declining computer backup segment with larger deals. Capital allocation is less shareholder-friendly, with high stock-based compensation (18.1% of revenue) and dilution, especially compared to peers like DigitalOcean.
