contents We present a systematic analysis of the Higgs signal strengths at 125 GeV and 95 GeV in a non-supersymmetric $U(1)_X$ model with vector-like fermions ($U(1)_X$VLFM). This model extends the SM by introducing an additional $U(1)_X$ gauge symmetry, three right-handed neutrinos, two singlet Higgs fields ($ϕ$ and $S$), and one generation of vector-like quarks and leptons. The scalar fields mix with each other in the neutral CP-even sector, leading to two Higgs-like states around 95 GeV and 125 GeV. A $χ^2$ analysis is performed by combining the Higgs signal strength measurements at 125 GeV from ATLAS and CMS, including the $γγ$, $WW^*$, $ZZ^*$, $b\bar{b}$, and $τ\barτ$ channels, with the 95 GeV excesses observed in the diphoton and $b\bar{b}$ final states reported by CMS and LEP. Our results indicate that the $U(1)_X$VLFM can successfully reproduce the observed signal strengths of the 125 GeV Higgs while simultaneously explaining the 95 GeV excess. The parameters $g_X$, $g_{YX}$, $v_S$, $v_P$, and the new Yukawa couplings play a crucial role in achieving this consistency.
