Financial Analysis

As a privately held 'decacorn' (valued at US$42 billion in its August 2025 employee share sale, before 2026 investor markdowns), Canva has been profitable for years, which is unusual for a venture-backed company of its size; it was reported in August 2026 as profitable for nine straight years. Revenue reached US$3.5 billion in 2025 and ARR about US$4 billion by year end, mostly from recurring subscriptions acquired through its free tier rather than paid marketing. In the June 2026 quarter revenue rose 25.2% to US$921.9 million and cash stood at US$1.47 billion, but rising AI serving costs led Canva to cut its 2026 growth forecast to about 20%. Canva does not publish net income or audited accounts, and it has not set an IPO date. Canva is one of the most highly valued private software startups in the world, achieving a peak private market valuation exceeding $26 billion.
