Hyperion DeFi Announces $20 Million Stock Buyback and Raises Full-Year Guidance

Hyperion DeFi, a NASDAQ-listed company based in the United States, has announced a stock buyback plan of up to $20 million and revised its full-year guidance for 2026. The announcement was made on September 8, 2026, marking a significant step for the company, which claims to be the first publicly listed decentralized finance (DeFi) company in the U.S. built on the Hyperliquid platform.

The company has increased its adjusted gross profit guidance for the year from a previous estimate of $5 million to a new range of $7 million to $8 million. Hyperion DeFi also expects its adjusted net operating cash flow to turn positive in the third quarter of 2026, ahead of earlier projections that anticipated this milestone by the end of the year. Additionally, the company forecasts that its core operating income will achieve breakeven during the same period, with adjusted gross profit from its core DeFi business expected to surpass operating expenses for the first time after excluding equity incentives.

The adjusted gross profit guidance for the third quarter is set between $2 million and $2.5 million, while operating expenses, excluding equity incentives, are projected to be between $2 million and $2.25 million. CEO Hyunsu Jung noted that the DeFi business has seen recent acceleration and emphasized that HYPD common stock is currently trading at a discount of approximately 20% to 30% relative to net assets. The stock repurchase plan will be executed over a maximum of 12 months and may involve various methods such as open market purchases and private negotiations.
