Recon Technology, Ltd. (NASDAQ: RCON) reported first‑half fiscal 2026 results on March 13 2026, showing revenue of RMB 85.0 million—an increase of 102.2 % year‑over‑year from RMB 42.0 million in the same period of 2024.
Revenue growth was driven by strong performance in overseas oilfield projects and a rebound in domestic production. The company’s gross profit rose to RMB 28.5 million, lifting the gross margin to 33.5 % from 31.7 % in the prior year, a gain largely attributable to a higher mix of higher‑margin services and improved pricing power.
Net loss narrowed to RMB 7.2 million, or a loss per share of RMB 0.61, compared with a net loss of RMB 20.7 million (RMB 2.29 per share) in the same period last year. The reduction in loss reflects both revenue growth and better cost management, though the company remains in the red for the period.
Management highlighted the progress made during the first half of fiscal 2026, stating, "We are encouraged by the significant progress the Company has made during the first half of fiscal year 2026. For the six months ended December 31 2025, Recon's core business remained stable and achieved substantial growth, primarily driven by the successful execution of overseas oilfield projects and the recovery of domestic oilfield production activities."
The company also reiterated its commitment to diversifying revenue streams, noting that its plastic chemical recycling project—launched in 2023—continues to progress on schedule and is slated for completion in July 2026, following earlier milestones that had targeted November 2025.
While the press release did not provide a detailed segment‑level breakdown, the overall performance suggests that the core oilfield services segment remains the primary growth engine, with automation and software offerings expected to contribute incremental upside as the company expands its product line.
Management acknowledged ongoing regulatory and competitive pressures but emphasized that the company’s strategic focus on circular economy initiatives and automation product development positions it to capture new market opportunities and mitigate headwinds in the traditional oilfield services market.
