Sidus Space 2025 Q2 Earnings Worsening Net Loss Despite Revenue Growth

Sidus Space reported its fiscal 2025 Q2 earnings on August 14, 2025, revealing a 35.9% year-over-year revenue increase to $1.26 million. The company narrowed its per-share loss but experienced a wider net loss. This earnings report highlights both progress and persistent challenges for the firm.

Sidus Space reported total revenue of $1.26 million for the quarter, marking a significant 35.9% year-over-year increase from $927,570 in the same period of 2024. The revenue was split between two key segments: core operations, which generated $691,070, and revenue from related parties, contributing $569,953 to the total. This dual-stream model reflects the company’s diverse revenue generation strategies.

The company’s earnings per share (EPS) improved from a loss of $0.99 to $0.31, representing a 68.7% reduction in per-share losses. However, the net loss expanded to $5.63 million in 2025 Q2, a 36.0% increase from the $4.14 million loss in the prior year. This widening net loss, despite improved EPS, signals ongoing financial challenges. The company has posted losses for five consecutive years during the same fiscal quarter, underscoring the need for sustainable profitability strategies.

Despite a modest 1.77% gain in stock price on the latest trading day and a 0.88% rise over the past week, the stock has dropped 34.66% month-to-date. Investors appear to be cautious, reacting to broader market conditions and the company’s earnings performance.

Post-earnings trading strategies have not yielded positive results for Sidus Space shareholders over the past three years. Holding shares after a revenue beat and for 30 days yielded no returns, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 0.00% and a -46.48% excess return compared to a 46.48% benchmark. The strategy’s maximum drawdown and volatility were both 0.00%, indicating an unprofitable, risk-averse approach that failed to capitalize on the earnings beat.

CEO Carol M. Craig described Q2 as a pivotal quarter for Sidus Space, highlighting key achievements such as the deployment of LizzieSat-3 with autonomous GNC software and the advancement of the Orlaith AI ecosystem. The company is transitioning toward recurring revenue through data-as-a-service and plans to scale its satellite constellation while leveraging U.S. defense and allied spending trends. Craig also emphasized the firm’s vertically integrated model, agility in multi-domain applications, and lean operations as key drivers of innovation and scalability.

Looking ahead, the company expects to transition from development to revenue generation in the second half of 2025. Strategic priorities include completing the commissioning of LizzieSat-3, expanding LizzieSat-enabled commercial services, and securing orders for Fortis VPX systems. The company also secured $6.7 million in net proceeds from a public offering in July 2025 to fund satellite builds and growth initiatives. The leadership remains focused on R&D, infrastructure development, and multi-domain product commercialization to support long-term growth.
