Koss stock (ISIN US5006921085) was trading at USD 3.95 on Nasdaq at 3:49 p.m. ET on October 5, 2026, up 2.33 percent from the prior close. The latest reported quarter delivered GAAP earnings of USD 0.05 per share and net income of USD 0.5 million, giving the headphone maker a clear earnings catalyst.

Fourth-quarter profit returns

According to Zacks on September 2, 2026, Koss reported fourth-quarter fiscal 2026 EPS of USD 0.05, compared with a loss of USD 0.02 per share in the year-earlier quarter. Net sales reached USD 3.3 million, up 5.8 percent from USD 3.1 million, while net income reversed a prior-year loss of USD 0.2 million.

The profitability change was visible in gross profit as well. Koss generated USD 2.0 million in fourth-quarter gross profit, up 79.1 percent year over year, and operating income was USD 0.3 million versus an operating loss of USD 0.4 million in the comparable quarter.

Direct sales carry the growth

Direct-to-consumer sales increased 36.2 percent year over year in the quarter, with the Porta Pro wired and wireless headphone family leading demand. Sales through Koss.com rose 45.6 percent, making the company owned channel an important counterweight to weaker European distributor replenishment.

Tariff refunds also shaped the result. Koss received USD 1.0 million in refunds for previously paid import duties on products from China, and full-year gross margin rose to 41.9 percent from 37.8 percent in fiscal 2025.

Annual sales move higher

For fiscal 2026, Koss reported sales of USD 13.0 million, up 3.1 percent from USD 12.6 million. The annual net loss narrowed to USD 0.4 million from USD 0.9 million, while gross profit increased to USD 5.5 million from USD 4.8 million.

For investors, the key distinction is between recurring demand and one-time support. Direct sales provide a measurable growth channel, while the USD 1.0 million tariff refund helped fiscal 2026 profitability but does not represent ordinary headphone revenue.
