Analysis · MRDN · Technology
A sharp turnaround defined Meridian Holdings' Q2 2026, as net income reached $2.17 million compared with a $3.58 million loss a year ago, propelled by 16% revenue growth to $50.2 million.

The filing also shows an extension of $15 million in promissory notes to November 2026, easing near-term liquidity pressure but highlighting ongoing cash management challenges.
