With the headline numbers on the table, the next step is to compare these results with the dominant narratives around Spectral Capital to see which stories the data supports and which it starts to challenge.

Losses Deepen To US$9.4 Million On Higher Scale

• Q1 2026 shows a net loss of US$9.4 million on US$328.5 million of revenue, compared with a net profit of US$3.0 million on US$18.7 million of revenue in Q4 2025, so the company is now generating much larger sales while still reporting losses.
• Critics highlight that trailing 12 month losses have grown at roughly 62.3% annually over five years, and the numbers here line up with that bearish concern:
  • On a trailing 12 month basis, the company reported a loss of US$7.8 million alongside US$350.4 million of revenue, so recent scale has not yet translated into positive net income.
  • Basic EPS over the last four reported quarters ranges from a profit of US$0.04 in Q4 2025 to a loss of about US$0.11 in Q1 2026, which shows that profitability is not yet steady.

Trailing EPS Swings Around, Now At Loss Of US$0.10

• Over the trailing 12 months to Q1 2026, basic EPS stands at a loss of about US$0.10 per share, compared with a small profit of roughly US$0.01 on the trailing 12 months to Q4 2025, so the latest period shifts the rolling figure back into loss making territory.
• Bears argue that the absence of positive net profit margins across the trailing 12 months is a key warning sign, and the reported EPS pattern supports that cautious view:
  • Three of the last four reported quarters, Q1 2025, Q2 2025 and Q3 2025, all show basic EPS losses before the brief return to profit in Q4 2025.
  • With Q1 2026 EPS at a loss of about US$0.11, even after that profitable Q4 2025, the trailing 12 month figure is still in loss making territory, which aligns with the view that earnings quality remains weak.

Low 0.5x P/S Multiple Versus IT Peers

• The stock trades on a P/S of about 0.5x, which is below both the reported US IT industry average of 2.3x and a peer average of 12.1x, so the market is valuing each dollar of Spectral Capital’s sales at a discount to those groups.
• What stands out is how this low sales multiple sits next to the bearish points about losses and dilution, creating a clear trade off for investors:
  • Trailing 12 month net income is a loss of about US$7.8 million while revenue is US$350.4 million, so the stock’s low P/S comes alongside a business that is still loss making.
  • Shareholders also faced substantial dilution over the past year according to the analysis, so anyone focused on the low multiple needs to weigh it against the effect of a larger share count on per share figures.
