Executive Summary

Quest Resource reported Q1 2026 revenue of $61.7M (down 9.8% YoY) and GAAP EPS of -$0.11, missing the consensus estimate of -$0.03 by 267%. The net loss narrowed to $2.3M from $10.4M a year ago, but Adjusted EBITDA remained modest at $1.8M. Revenue decline and EPS miss signal ongoing macro headwinds despite sequential improvements.
