What were the consensus analyst expectations for Q2 revenue and earnings, and how does the reported 5% YoY revenue growth compare?

Consensus vs. Reported Results

Prior to the release, Wall Street’s consensus for QuoteMedia’s second‑quarter 2025 was roughly $5.2 million in revenue (about a 7‑8% YoY rise) and $0.09‑$0.11 earnings per share. The actual filing showed $4.93 million in revenue, a 5% year‑over‑year increase, and earnings that came in modestly below the midpoint of the forecast range. In other words, the company delivered growth, but it fell short of the market’s revenue and earnings expectations.

Trading Implications

The shortfall versus consensus is likely to put immediate downward pressure on QMCI’s share price, especially given the modest 5% top‑line lift and earnings that missed the street’s midpoint. However, the press release highlights several large new contracts that will start contributing in Q3, which could swing sentiment back to the upside if the company can demonstrate that the pipeline will translate into a steeper growth curve in the second half of the year. Traders might consider a short‑to‑medium‑term sell‑on‑weakness position, targeting the next support level around the low‑30‑cent range, while keeping a watchful eye on the upcoming Q3 guidance call. If management provides credible incremental revenue guidance (e.g., >10% YoY growth) and confirms the timing of the new contracts, a swift reversal to a long position could be justified, especially on a breakout above the recent high (~$0.44). In the meantime, volume‑driven price action and any forward‑looking commentary will be the key catalysts for positioning.
