Quest Resource (QRHC) Q2 2026: Revenue Growth but a Wider Net Loss

Quest Resource reported Q2 2026 revenue of $64.1 million, up 7.6% from $59.5 million a year earlier. That top-line growth did not translate into profit: net loss widened to $12.2 million from $2.0 million, and diluted loss per share was $0.57 versus $0.09.

Quarter and first half

Metric	Q2 2025	Q2 2026
Revenue	$59.5 million	$64.1 million
Net loss	$2.0 million	$12.2 million
Diluted loss per share	$0.09	$0.57

For the first six months, revenue declined 1.7% to $125.8 million from $128.0 million, partly reflecting a divestiture. First-half net loss widened to $14.5 million from $12.4 million. The quarter therefore combines a return to revenue growth with materially weaker bottom-line results.

Why the loss comparison matters

The quarterly revenue increase and the first-half revenue decline describe different baselines, so neither should be used alone. The divestiture affects comparability, while the much larger quarterly loss shows that top-line growth did not cover the period costs and other charges recorded in the filing. A durable improvement would require organic growth after adjusting for the disposed business, a narrower operating loss and operating cash flow that confirms the accounting result.

What to verify next

The next report should be checked for the source of the larger loss, the durability of organic revenue growth after the divestiture comparison, and whether operating cash flow and leverage improve. A single quarter’s revenue increase is not sufficient evidence of a turnaround while losses remain elevated.
