Arq (ARQ): Q3 net income $2.5M on higher AC product sales volumes
Q3 net income $2.5M vs $0.9M loss y/y; nine-month net income $0.6M vs $3.3M loss; AC product volumes drove revenue gains.
What this filing says
Arq reported net income of $2.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, against a net loss of $0.9 million a year earlier, and $0.6 million for the nine months against a $3.3 million loss. Revenue growth came mainly from higher sales of its AC products to power-generation customers, partly offset by severance costs tied to executive departures. For a shareholder, the quarter shows a return to profit, though the excerpt gives only part of the financial picture.
