Oblong (OBLG) reported its fiscal 2025 Q2 earnings on August 14, 2025. The results showed a revenue decline and continued net losses, though the company improved its performance year-over-year. Oblong’s earnings reflected progress in narrowing losses, though the company still faces significant financial challenges.

Oblong’s total revenue declined by 3.1% to $592,000 in 2025 Q2, down from $611,000 in the same period last year. Within the Managed Services segment, revenue stood at $497,000, including $481,000 from Network services and $11,000 from Video collaboration services. Additional services within the segment totaled $5,000. The Collaboration Products segment generated $93,000 in revenue, primarily from Visual collaboration product offerings.

Earnings/Net Income

Oblong improved its financial performance in Q2 2025, reducing its net loss to $605,000 from $983,000 in Q2 2024, a 38.5% reduction. On a per-share basis, the loss narrowed to $0.38 from $1.38, marking a 72.5% improvement. This positive trend reflects the company’s ongoing efforts to streamline operations and improve efficiency.

Price Action

Oblong’s stock experienced mixed price movements following the earnings report. The stock dropped 4.90% during the latest trading day but rose 8.21% during the most recent full trading week. However, the stock fell 15.95% month-to-date, indicating ongoing volatility in investor sentiment.

Post Earnings Price Action Review

A strategy of buying Oblong shares after a revenue increase quarter-over-quarter and holding for 30 days proved unsuccessful. Over the past three years, this strategy resulted in a return of -95.63%, significantly underperforming the benchmark by 142.10%. The strategy’s Sharpe ratio of -0.38 indicates high risk with poor returns, while the maximum drawdown of 0% suggests that holdings were liquidated at some point.
