Navient posts Q3 2025 net loss of $86 million on $168 million loan loss provision
Navient reported a GAAP net loss of $86 million, or $0.87 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, compared with a net loss of $2 million a year earlier. The loss reflects a $168 million provision for loan losses, most of it in Consumer Lending, which the company attributes to elevated delinquencies and its macroeconomic outlook. The board-level share repurchase authorization was expanded with a new $100 million program, which matters to shareholders because it signals capital returned alongside weaker earnings.
