NYSE:SEG Earnings & Revenue History as at May 2026
NYSE:SEG Earnings & Revenue History as at May 2026

Losses widen to US$44.1 million on smaller Q1 revenue base

  • Net income excluding extra items was a loss of US$44.1 million in Q1 2026 on revenue of US$12.7 million, compared with a trailing 12 month loss of US$129.0 million on revenue of US$129.4 million, so the quarter reflects a much thinner revenue base than the recent annual run rate.
  • Bears focusing on ongoing losses see support here, as the company stayed unprofitable in Q1 with basic EPS of a US$3.47 loss and trailing 12 month EPS of a US$10.13 loss, even though multi year data shows losses shrinking by about 15.2% per year over the past five years.
    • Critics highlight that analysts in the data do not expect profitability within the next three years, which lines up with the current trailing loss of US$129.0 million and the pattern of quarterly net losses shown across 2024 and 2025.
    • At the same time, the multi year improvement in losses sits in tension with the most recent quarters, where Q1 2026 and late 2025 still show losses in the US$30 million to US$40 million range and no clear shift into positive earnings.

Five year loss reduction meets modest 0.8% revenue growth

  • Over the last 12 months, revenue growth of about 0.8% per year sits alongside a trailing 12 month net loss of US$129.0 million and basic EPS of a US$10.13 loss, so top line progress has been modest relative to the size of the losses.
  • The consensus narrative that investors will focus on the path to profitability is echoed in the data, but it also reflects a clear trade off between slow revenue growth and improving losses.
    • On the supportive side, losses have been reduced by about 15.2% per year over the past five years, which matches the movement in trailing net loss from US$153.2 million in the period ending Q4 2024 to US$128.9 million in the period ending Q1 2026.
    • On the challenging side, revenue only moved from US$78.1 million to US$129.4 million over those same trailing snapshots, and the latest single quarter revenue of US$12.7 million is well below several 2025 quarters that were in the US$40 million to US$46 million range.

P/S of 2.2x and a US$30.00 target create valuation tension

  • SEG trades on a P/S of 2.2x, compared with a peer average of 9.3x and a US real estate industry average of 2.6x. The current share price of US$22.24 sits below the cited analyst price target of US$30.00, even though the company is expected to stay unprofitable for at least the next three years.
  • Bears point out that continued losses can justify a low P/S, while bulls argue the gap to peers and the analyst target could be meaningful if revenue and margins improve.
    • Supporters of the cautious view point to the trailing 12 month net loss of US$129.0 million and the indication that analysts do not forecast a return to profit in the next three years, which means traditional P/E based valuation is not usable yet.
    • Supporters of the more optimistic angle note that if the multi year 15.2% annual reduction in losses continues and revenue trends toward the analysts’ long term assumptions, a P/S of 2.2x versus 9.3x for peers could be seen as a discount that narrows over time.
