Explore Community Narratives ASX:EQR Revenue & Expenses Breakdown as at Mar 2026 ## TTM loss narrows to A$22.6m on A$75.4m sales - On a trailing twelve month basis, EQ Resources booked A$75.4 million of revenue and a net loss of A$22.6 million, compared with A$56.2 million of revenue and a A$43.6 million loss in the earliest TTM snapshot provided. - What stands out for a bullish view is that loss and revenue trends move in the same direction in these snapshots, which heavily supports the idea that higher sales can help chip away at losses, even though the company remains unprofitable and past five year losses grew about 48.5% per year. - Across the three trailing periods, revenue steps up from A$56.2 million to A$66.3 million to A$75.4 million, while the net loss narrows from A$43.6 million to A$39.3 million to A$22.6 million. - At the same time, trailing EPS loss per share tightens from A$0.0221 to A$0.0170 to A$0.0067, which supports the bullish argument that scale is starting to matter but still sits alongside a track record of increasing losses over the longer five year span. EQ Resources’ recent earnings trend has fans arguing that rising sales are finally starting to bite into losses, while others point to the five year loss record and want more proof that this improvement can stick before they commit to a view on the stock. **📊 Read the what the Community is saying about EQ Resources.** ## H1 2026 loss shrinks to A$7.0m versus H1 2025 - In the latest H1 2026 half year, EQ Resources recorded A$44.0 million of revenue and a net loss of A$7.0 million, compared with A$34.8 million of revenue and a A$23.7 million loss in H1 2025. - Skeptics who focus on the company’s history of losses growing at about 48.5% per year over five years may see one half year as too short to matter, yet the combination of higher revenue and a smaller loss in H1 2026 directly challenges the idea that operating performance is stuck in reverse. - Between H1 2025 and H1 2026, basic EPS loss per share narrows from A$0.0118 to A$0.0017, which is a sizeable move when you line it up against the still negative trailing twelve month EPS of A$0.0067. - The A$7.0 million loss in H1 2026 also sits well below the A$15.6 million loss in H2 2025 and the A$23.7 million loss in H1 2025, so anyone leaning on the bearish long term loss trend has to reconcile it with these more recent halves showing smaller losses on larger revenue. ## Valuation gap versus DCF and mixed P/S signals - With the share price at A$0.365 against a stated DCF fair value of about A$0.97, the stock trades roughly 62.6% below that DCF marker, while the P/S ratio of 23.6x sits below the Australian Metals & Mining industry average of 75.7x but above the peer average of 14.3x. - For a bullish angle, the wide gap to the DCF fair value and the faster forecast growth in earnings of roughly 83% per year and revenue of about 59.3% per year set up an argument that the current price is not reflecting the growth profile, although the valuation signal is not one sided because bears can point to the higher P/S versus peers and the short cash runway of under one year. - Bulls highlight that expected revenue and earnings growth outpace a lot of mature miners, which they argue makes a DCF based value of A$0.97 more relevant than headline multiples that look richer than peer P/S levels. - Critics instead zero in on the cash runway being under twelve months and the fact that shareholders were substantially diluted over the past year, which they view as key reasons why a discount to DCF and a richer P/S multiple might persist.
