Usio Reports Q1 Revenue of $25.47M, Beating Expectations

Reports Q1 revenue $25.47M, consensus $23.2M. Louis Hoch, president and CEO of Usio, said, "It was a record start to the new year, affirming our belief that the momentum coming out of our record 2025 would provide a strong tailwind for continued growth and profitability. All of our key performance metrics were at record levels in the first quarter, with revenues up 16%, the fastest rate of revenue growth in nine quarters. Total processing volume and transactions also set new records, which is an impressive encore to the prior quarter where we set many of the previous all-time records. The strength of our business is broad based, with better than 20% growth in ACH and credit card, and nearly the same in Output Solutions, which was up 19%. This strong growth, coupled with our fiscal discipline, led to a significant year-over-year improvement in the bottom line as well as positive operating cash flow, and a further improvement in our balance sheet and liquidity. The implementation of our Usio One strategy, our growing reputation in the payments industry, and the innovative technologies integrated into our diversified businesses are increasingly taking hold, providing us with confidence in our expectation of achieving another year of profitable, double-digit growth in fiscal 2026."

US Stocks Drop on Iranian Energy Attacks and Inflation Data

Reports of fresh attacks on Iranian energy infrastructure, compounded by hotter than expected wholesale inflation data, erased two consecutive sessions of seemingly improving sentiment and weighed heavily on equities on Wednesday, as Dow Industrials and S&P 500 both saw their worst levels of the year at intraday lows.   Basic Materials and Consumer names - both Cyclical and Defensive - were some of the worst performing sectors in the benchmark index, and while Energy was higher amid ongoing volatility in Oil prices, investors fret that higher prices at the pump will transfer into reduced demand for the consumption-oriented economy.  The Vix also spiked back above the 25 level and Treasury yields rose.The Fed decision saw rates remain unchanged as widely expected and Fed Chair Powell sought to tamp down concerns that higher rates might be needed as a result of oil-driven price pressure, with the CME FedWatch tool now pricing in a coinflip on whether 2026 will bring any Fed rate cuts at all.In the opening hour of the evening session, equity futures remained under pressure - S&P 500 e-minis and Nasdaq 100 contracts are both trading down about 0.2%.  In energy, WTI Crude Oil resumed trading higher, rising above $98 per barrel.  Gold and Silver are both down sharply, trading just above $4,820 and $75 per ounce respectively as fresh strength in U.S. Dollar pressured precious metals.Check out this evening's top movers from around Wall Street, compiled by The Fly.HIGHER AFTER EARNINGS -SUNation Energyup 9.7%EquipmentShare.comup 8.0%DLocal Limitedup 6.9%Five Belowup 6.6%ALSO HIGHER -Rocket Labup 3.1% after announcing $190M contract for  hypersonic test flightsDOWN AFTER EARNINGS -Heartflowdown 7.7%Microndown 4.3%Red Cat Holdingsdown 3.5%Usiodown 2.5%ALSO LOWER -Guardian Pharmacy Servicesdown 6.9% after equity offering
