Marchex stock (ISIN US56624R1086) closed at USD 1.28 on Nasdaq on October 5, 2026, down 0.78 percent from the prior close. The key operating marker is the company’s post-acquisition revenue outlook: management expects USD 16.0-16.5 million for the third quarter of 2026, according to the Yahoo Finance transcript dated August 12, 2026.
Archenia changes the revenue base
Marchex completed its acquisition of Archenia on July 1, 2026. Because the transaction closed after the second quarter began, Archenia contributed no revenue to the reported Q2 period, while the Q3 outlook includes a full quarter of the acquired business, according to Yahoo Finance.
The same outlook calls for adjusted EBITDA of USD 2.3-2.5 million in Q3 2026. That range gives investors a concrete test for whether the acquisition can add scale while the company maintains tighter cost control.
Q2 growth stayed modest
Marchex reported Q2 2026 revenue of USD 11 million, compared with USD 10.6 million in Q1. The sequential increase was USD 0.4 million, or 3.8 percent, based on the figures in the earnings call.
The quarter also brought a USD 0.01 loss per share against consensus of USD 0.02 earnings per share, while revenue came in below the USD 11.2 million estimate, according to MarketBeat reporting on the Q2 results.
Execution now matters most
Cash stood at USD 8.2 million at the end of Q2 2026, down from USD 9.0 million at the end of Q1, according to Yahoo Finance. The reduction reflected transaction expenses and organizational realignment, making the conversion of Archenia’s pipeline into recurring revenue important for the next report.
Marchex also announced on September 22, 2026, that it had engaged PondelWilkinson to expand institutional investor outreach after the Archenia acquisition. The company described the combined platform as connecting conversation analytics with customer acquisition and measurable business outcomes, according to GlobeNewswire.
