AI Insight: SSTK Financial Trends

Revenue has collapsed to $199M in Q1 2026 — lowest in the dataset — while operating income turned deeply negative at -$31M, signaling accelerating fundamental deterioration.

• Revenue fell from a peak of $267M in Q2 2025 to $199M in Q1 2026, a 25% decline in three quarters.

• Operating income swung from $35M in Q2 2025 to -$31M in Q1 2026, a $66M deterioration in two quarters.

• Net income deepened to -$48M in Q1 2026, the worst quarterly loss in the dataset, after -$16M in Q4 2025.

• Equity eroded from $594M in Q3 2025 to $532M in Q1 2026, while total debt held steady near $274–275M.

⚠ Operating cash flow held at $17M in Q1 2026 despite deep losses — monitor whether this divergence from net income persists.

⚠ Total debt jumped from $30M in Q2 2024 to ~$275M and has not materially declined — leverage risk remains elevated.

⚠ Two consecutive quarters of operating losses (-$2M Q4 2025, -$31M Q1 2026) raise questions about structural cost alignment with falling revenue.

AI Insight: SSTK Ratio Trends

Q1 2026 operating margin collapsed to -15.5% and ROIC turned deeply negative at -15.4%, signaling a severe deterioration following the Getty Images merger integration.

• Operating margin swung from +13.0% in Q2 2025 to -15.5% in Q1 2026 — a 28.5pp reversal in three quarters.

• ROIC turned negative at -15.4% in Q1 2026, down from a peak of 16.1% in Q2 2025.

• D/E ratio ticked back up to 0.52 in Q1 2026 after trending down to 0.46 in Q3 2025, modest but worth noting.

⚠ ROE collapsed to -35.8% in Q1 2026 from +20.1% in Q2 2025 — watch whether merger costs normalize or persist.

⚠ TTM operating margin of 3.6% masks the sharp Q1 2026 deterioration; trend direction into Q2 2026 is critical.

⚠ D/E rising back toward 0.52 after improvement warrants monitoring if losses continue to erode equity.
