Revenue Growth
Total revenue increased by 15% year-over-year to $5.53 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, driven by increases in Corporate Quotestream and Interactive Content and Data APIs.
-
Increased Net Loss
Net loss widened to $620,612 for Q1 2026, compared to $499,811 in Q1 2025. This was primarily due to a 42% increase in software development expenses (due to lower capitalization) and approximately $230,000 in one-time data licensing costs.

Improved Operating Cash Flow
Net cash provided by operating activities significantly improved to $384,672 in Q1 2026, up from $125,768 in Q1 2025, boosting the company's cash position to $521,684.

Liquidity Outlook Addressed
Management stated that cash on hand and cash generated from operations are expected to be sufficient to fund current operations for at least the next 12 months through March 2027, directly addressing prior going concern warnings.
auto_awesomeAnalysis
QuoteMedia Inc. reported a significant 15% year-over-year revenue increase and a substantial improvement in operating cash flow, which is critical for a company that previously disclosed a going concern warning. Management now believes current cash and operations will fund the company for at least the next 12 months. However, the net loss widened due to increased software development expensing and one-time costs, and a material weakness in internal controls persists, alongside growing related party payables.
