Research Solutions stock was trading at USD 2.13 on Nasdaq on September 28, 2026, up 0.95 percent, with a market capitalization of USD 71.2 million. The company’s fiscal 2026 results showed lower revenue but stronger recurring sales and annual profitability.
Profit improves as revenue softens
According to PR Newswire on September 9, 2026, Research Solutions reported fiscal 2026 revenue of USD 48.3 million, down 1.50 percent from USD 49.1 million in fiscal 2025. Net income increased to USD 2.8 million from USD 1.3 million, while adjusted EBITDA rose to USD 5.8 million from USD 5.3 million.
The earnings mix provides the more constructive comparison. Platform subscription revenue increased 9.80 percent to USD 20.8 million, but transaction revenue declined 8.70 percent to USD 27.5 million. Gross margin reached 51.90 percent, up from 49.30 percent in fiscal 2025, as higher-margin platform activity represented 43 percent of total revenue versus 39 percent a year earlier.
ARR growth offsets transaction pressure
Annual recurring revenue rose 7.80 percent to USD 22.5 million in fiscal 2026, including B2B ARR growth of 14.10 percent to USD 16.2 million. The company also reported USD 0.8 million of AI-related ARR, giving the subscription business a measurable growth contribution while legacy transaction activity remained weaker.
Cash flow adds a counterweight to the softer top line. Research Solutions generated USD 5.3 million in operating cash flow in fiscal 2026, down from USD 7.0 million, and ended June 30, 2026, with USD 12.6 million in cash and no debt, according to PR Newswire.
