AI Insight: EQ Financial Trends

• Equity surged to $59M in Q1 2026 from $29M in Q4 2025, likely reflecting equity financing.

⚠ Net losses ranged $4M–$9M per quarter; profitability inflection point not yet evident despite capital infusion.
AI Insight: EQ Ratio Trends

• Operating margin improved from -90.2% in Q4 2025 to stabilizing around -37.6% in Q3 2025, suggesting operational efficiency gains.
• Net profit margin deteriorated sharply in Q4 2024 (-131.9%) but has recovered to -34.8% by Q3 2025, indicating partial margin stabilization.
