ROC Rank One Computing Corp
Price Chart
Executive Summary
ROC reported Q1 2026 revenue of $2.5M, down 20% YoY from $3.2M, and a net loss of $3.0M ($0.18/share) vs. a $0.7M loss ($0.05/share) a year ago, driven by a 69% decline in government R&D contract revenue due to lingering effects of the late-2025 federal shutdown. Product revenue was flat at $2.3M, but ROC Watch (+77%) and ROC ABIS (+255%) showed strong growth. The company ended the quarter with $16.6M cash and no debt after its February IPO, but provided no formal guidance, and the revenue miss vs. the $6.2M consensus is significant.
Key Financial Metrics
Actionable Insight
The 60% revenue miss vs consensus and lack of formal guidance create significant downside risk. Monitor the Q2 2026 earnings call for signs of government contract recovery and whether product revenue growth (ROC Watch +77%, ROC ABIS +255%) can offset the R&D revenue decline. The strong cash position post-IPO provides a buffer, but the widening operating loss trajectory warrants caution.
