On the 24th, shares of CLEAR Secure Inc. (NYSE: YOU) closed at $56.64 on the New York Stock Exchange, up 5.95%, lifting its market capitalization to roughly $5.6 billion (about KRW 7.6 trillion).

In its February 25 release of fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results, CLEAR Secure reported that rising CLEAR+ membership and an expanded TSA PreCheck enrollment business drove both revenue growth and margin improvement. According to a recent filing, in February 2026 the company renewed a multi-year agreement with American Express to provide CLEAR+ membership credits, further fueling partnership-based subscription growth.

CLEAR Secure is a paid, membership-based identity-verification company that uses biometric authentication to offer dedicated CLEAR+ security lanes at U.S. airport checkpoints. Designated by the U.S. Transportation Security Administration as an official TSA PreCheck enrollment provider, the company continues to grow its identity-verification platform by adding enrollment centers at airports and retail locations.
