Direct Digital Q2 Revenue Misses, EBITDA Loss Widens, Covenant Breach
DRCT sits 23% above its 52-week low of $2.17.
Summary
Direct Digital Holdings reported Q2 revenue of $7.83M, down 23% year-over-year and missing the $8.84M consensus. Adjusted EBITDA loss widened to -$2.33M versus the -$980.5K expected, and operating loss came in at -$2.93M against a -$1.75M estimate. The company also disclosed it was not in compliance with certain financial covenants as of June 30, 2026. This follows a Q1 2026 10-Q that showed a significantly increased net loss and a going concern warning, plus recent loan waivers and a highly dilutive $50M equity facility. The covenant breach adds fresh distress to an already fragile balance sheet. No guidance was provided, leaving the path forward uncertain.
