Hydrofarm announced its third-quarter 2025 results, which also included a CEO transition. The company is scheduled to report its Q4 and full-year 2025 results on March 4, 2026.

The demand for Hydrofarm's products depends on the growth of the controlled environment agriculture and cannabis industries. The COVID-19 pandemic may have positively impacted demand in 2020 and 2021, leading to a negative growth rate impact in 2022 and 2023 due to agricultural oversupply. External factors and industry-wide trends play a significant role in demand.
