Its gross profit also more than tripled — or climbed by about 230% year-over-year — to $1.7 million. NextNRG said its sales growth was driven by the expansion of its mobile fueling operations, even as it delivered higher volume in the quarter amid an increase in the average price per gallon across existing markets. The company's gross margin also improved from 3.2% a year ago to 8.1%. ## **NextNRG Rallies despite Deeper Losses** However, its losses deepened from $5.7 million in the first quarter of 2025 to about $10 million. Net loss also widened from $8.9 million to about $10.8 million, even as its adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization plunged by 66% to roughly $1.2 million. On the brighter side, NextNRG said its interest expense, or the total cost the company paid on its debt and other borrowings, shrank by approximately 80% to $680,596, down from $3.3 million in the year-ago quarter. ## **What Does NextNRG Actually Do?** For context, NextNRG operates as a renewable energy power generation company that uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to modernize energy management. It targets different types of power infrastructure, from utility-scale assets and battery storage to wireless in-motion charging for electric vehicles (still under development), as well as renewable energy and mobile fuel delivery. NextNRG claims it operates one of the largest on-demand fueling fleets in the U.S. At the core of the company's offering is the Next Utility Operating System, which helps customers in sectors ranging from commercial and healthcare to government achieve cost savings and other operational targets through the company's AI-enhanced smart microgrids. Looking ahead, NextNRG plans to double down on its operations by advancing its microgrid pipeline, pushing toward commercial deployment of its wireless EV charging, and continuing to ramp up its mobile fueling logistics. ## **What Is the Price Target for NextNRG?** As a penny stock, NextNRG gets limited coverage on Wall Street. Its shares are considered a Moderate Buy based on a Buy rating issued by H.C. Wainwright analyst Amit Dayal last month. Dayal's price target of $5 implies about 1,683% upside ahead. ### Related Stocks - [NXXT.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NXXT.US.md) ## Related News & Research - [NextNRG Q1 revenue rises helped by mobile fueling expansion](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286616859.md) - [3 stocks to buy and hold for the next decade](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286648251.md) - [This tech stock doesn't need AI to win.
