SurgePays Posts $16.20 Million in Second-Quarter Revenue, Up 40.7% Year Over Year
Key Facts
SurgePays reported revenue of $16.20 million in the second quarter of 2026, up 40.7% from the same period a year earlier, according to the company's earnings statement published on August 14. The company recorded net income available to common shareholders of $1.29 million for the quarter and earnings per share of $0.05. The results point to business growth and a return to profitability that quarter, based on the figures reported by the company. First-half data also showed revenue continuing to grow at a faster pace than in the quarter alone. The available statement did not identify any financial impact from another agreement on the quarterly results.
For the first half of 2026, revenue totaled $32.19 million, up 45.7% year over year, according to SurgePays' statement. Over the same period, general and administrative expenses fell 9.3%. The figures pair sales growth with a decline in one operating expense item, while the statement provided no further detail on the reasons for the change in expenses. The first-half period differs from the second quarter alone, covering six months of performance rather than quarterly results. The reported figures show year-over-year revenue growth of 40.7% in the second quarter and 45.7% in the first half.
As part of its expansion in telecommunications services, the company said on October 15 that its GrowthLine platform was open to partner brands and that six companies had signed letters of intent or definitive agreements to join it as of that date. SurgePays said the platform supports more than 200,000 subscribers across its platforms. GrowthLine allows a partner to launch a fully supported wireless brand within 30 days, according to the company's statement. This provides context for the company's strategy of adding brands and services to its existing infrastructure, but does not on its own establish the revenue the partnerships will generate. The company also described its SurgePays POS platform as processing sales and payments for wireless companies at retail locations.
SurgePays says its network includes more than 9,000 local stores, where point-of-sale systems enable wireless service activation and prepaid payments. The company also says its platforms support more than 200,000 wireless subscribers, while its LinkUp Mobile brand surpassed 100,000 subscriber lines in February 2026. The company's partnership with a network operator dates to its announcement on November 21, 2024, of a multiyear agreement with AT&T to provide fourth- and fifth-generation services to its wireless customers. These elements place the company's model within a mix of wireless brands, a distribution network and point-of-sale services. They provide background on the infrastructure SurgePays is seeking to expand through partnerships.
On the stock's performance, EL7 data showed SURG shares closing at $0.154 in the November 2, 2026, session. That price is from the session before the news date of November 3 and does not describe the stock's movement after the announcement. In an October statement, the company said SurgePays POS transactions were on track to exceed $10 million per month by the end of 2026. That remains a forward-looking figure disclosed by the company, while the latest financial results cited here cover the second quarter and first half of the year. The available evidence did not include documented details on the terms of the Etime agreement or its effect on revenue or earnings.
