NYSE:BILL Revenue & Expenses Breakdown as at May 2026
NYSE:BILL Revenue & Expenses Breakdown as at May 2026

Revenue climbs to US$414.7 million while losses stay relatively small

  • Q2 2026 revenue came in at US$414.7 million, compared with US$395.7 million in Q1 2026 and US$383.3 million in Q4 2025, while net income loss narrowed from US$11.6 million in Q3 2025 to US$2.6 million this quarter.
  • Bulls point out that analysts are expecting around 13.2% annual revenue growth over the next few years and forecast earnings to reach US$94.8 million. However, the trailing 12 month net income is still a loss of US$24.2 million, which means the bullish case leans heavily on future margin improvement rather than what is currently in the income statement.
    • Supporters of the bullish view also highlight that over the past five years losses have been reduced at an average rate of 34% per year, but the latest trailing EPS is still a loss of US$0.24, so profitability has not yet followed that improvement all the way through.
    • The bullish narrative expects profit margins to move from around 1.6% to 4.5% in about three years. By contrast, the recent quarterly pattern shows four of the last five quarters posting losses, which is a more cautious backdrop than the forward story suggests.

Bulls arguing that BILL is on the verge of a profitability inflection will want to line these forecasts up against the detailed narrative before deciding how much weight to put on them.🐂 BILL Holdings Bull Case

Valuation signals: 2.4x P/S and a large DCF gap

  • The stock is trading on a P/S of 2.4x against peer and US software averages of 3.9x and 3.7x. A stated DCF fair value of about US$127.66 compares with a current share price of US$37.66, which is a large gap between price and that fair value estimate.
  • Consensus narrative suggests that AI driven products and embedded finance partnerships can support revenue growth of 13.2% per year and lift profit margins to 4.5%. At the same time, the current trailing 12 month net income loss of US$24.2 million and the implied P/E needed to reach future earnings targets show that a lot has to go right for the DCF and analyst assumptions to play out.
    • The same consensus view uses an analyst price target of US$53.86, which sits between the current share price of US$37.66 and the DCF fair value of US$127.66. This illustrates how different valuation methods can point to very different outcomes from the same set of earnings expectations.
    • At the current price level, the relative discount on P/S compared with peers lines up with the fact that the business is still loss making on a trailing basis, even though forecasts point to higher earnings and margins over the next few years.

Losses narrowing, but bears still see execution risk

  • On a quarterly view, basic EPS moved from a loss of US$0.11 in Q3 2025 to a loss of about US$0.03 in both Q1 and Q2 2026. Trailing 12 month EPS of US$0.24 profit in early 2026 has shifted back to a loss of US$0.24 by Q2 2026, so profitability has been moving around rather than settling into steady positive territory.
  • Bears argue that competition, higher regulatory costs and pressure on small business spending could limit how far margins can improve. The swing from trailing 12 month net income of US$81.9 million in Q2 2025 to a loss of US$24.2 million by Q2 2026 gives that cautious view some support, even though quarterly losses in 2026 are relatively modest at around US$2.6 million.
    • Critics also point to the reliance on transaction based and ad valorem revenue, which ties part of the earnings outlook to customer volumes and fee levels, while the last four reported quarters include three periods of losses and only one profit, so the earnings base for that revenue mix is still fragile.
    • At the same time, the business is expected to move toward profitability within about three years according to external forecasts, so the key question for the bearish case is whether the recent move back into trailing losses signals a more persistent challenge or just a bump in a longer margin rebuilding process.

If you are weighing these risks, it is worth seeing how the more cautious analysts frame the path from a US$24.2 million trailing loss to positive earnings and what they view as realistic along the way.🐻 BILL Holdings Bear Case
