Detailed narrative

Fiscal 2026 Performance Overview

AtlasClear Holdings achieved an 85% increase in revenue to $20.1 million for fiscal 2026, with total revenue plus interest income reaching $21.9 million. The company reported a GAAP net income of $2 million, primarily due to non-cash fair value gains, while the operating loss was $9.8 million as a result of investments in growth. Cash and cash equivalents more than doubled to $15.4 million, and stockholders' equity improved significantly to $21.1 million from a deficit of $6.8 million.

Revenue Diversification and Stock Locate Business

The composition of revenue shifted, with approximately 54% of total revenue now coming from sources other than commissions, up from 45% in fiscal 2025. This was largely driven by the rapid expansion of the stock locate business, which saw revenue grow to $6.8 million from approximately $300,000 a year earlier. Management expects this business to continue growing, especially with the onboarding of new correspondents, and has invested in talent and proprietary technology to support this expansion.

Correspondent Clearing Expansion

AtlasClear signed 6 new correspondent broker-dealers during or shortly after fiscal 2026, with 3 already fully integrated and incrementing business. These new firms did not contribute meaningfully to FY26 revenue, but existing correspondent revenue grew 67% to $1.4 million. The company anticipates significant growth from these new relationships as they onboard, supporting stock loan, securities lending, and interest income, and expects the remaining 3 to be integrated before year-end.

Strategic Acquisitions and Digital Assets

The company is evaluating further strategic opportunities, including the acquisition of ARC Financial (holding company of Dawson James) and an institutional digital asset transaction, both subject to nonbinding letters of intent and closing conditions. The acquisition of Commercial Bancorp of Wyoming is still pursued, with regulatory applications withdrawn for refiling to incorporate a more robust business plan, including digital assets, as part of building an integrated trading, clearing, settlement, and banking platform.

Capital Management and Shareholder Value

AtlasClear ended the year with $15.4 million in cash and $14.4 million in net capital, without using dilutive at-the-market programs or equity lines. Management believes the company is undervalued, trading at under 2x trailing revenue and book value compared to peers at 6x and 4x, respectively. The company is focused on executing quarter after quarter to close this valuation gap and is actively planning to address the NYSE $0.25 share price threshold by July next year.
