AI Insight: LIVE Ratio Trends
LIVE Ventures collapsed into loss-making territory in Q1 2026, reversing a year of volatile but net-positive profitability recovery.
• Operating margin swung from +3.2% in Q4 2025 to -1.9% in Q1 2026, first negative quarter since Q3 2024.
• ROIC turned deeply negative at -8.6% in Q1 2026 versus +14.5% in Q4 2025, erasing six quarters of stabilization.
• TTM metrics show marginal profitability (OpMargin 3.0%, NPM 0.9%) masking Q1 2026 deterioration—seasonality or operational disruption unclear.
⚠ Q1 2026 loss reversal follows Q2 2025 peak (OpMargin 7.1%, ROIC 34.0%)—sustainability of turnaround now in question.
