Star Equity Holdings Reports 2026 Second Quarter Results
OLD GREENWICH, Conn., Aug. 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Star Equity Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: STRR and STRRP) ("Star" or the "Company"), a diversified holding company, announced today financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.
2026 Second Quarter Summary
- Revenue of $54.9 million increased 54.6% from the second quarter of 2025.
- Gross profit of $22.8 million increased 22.3% from the second quarter of 2025.
- Net loss attributable to common shareholders was $2.5 million, or $0.66 per diluted share, compared to net loss attributable to common shareholders of $0.7 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2025. Adjusted net loss per diluted share (non-GAAP measure)* was $0.15 compared to adjusted net income per diluted share of $0.20 in the second quarter of 2025. Pro forma adjusted net income per diluted share was $1.46 in the second quarter of 2025.
- Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP measure)* increased to $2.2 million versus adjusted EBITDA of $1.3 million in the second quarter of 2025; pro forma adjusted EBITDA was $8.5 million in the second quarter of 2025, including a $5.5 million realized gain in the Investments division.
- Total cash including restricted cash was $8.9 million at June 30, 2026.
Jeff Eberwein, CEO of Star, noted, "In the second quarter, Business Services delivered modest revenue growth, with gross profit down slightly year-over-year, while Energy Services posted strong year-over-year gains in revenue, gross profit, and adjusted EBITDA, reflecting activity increases and new client wins in the geothermal and mining industries. Building Solutions remained below our expectations due to market softness and contract timing including revenue from one large project largely constructed in Q2 that will now be recognized mainly in Q3. While residential and commercial construction markets remained challenging in the second quarter, we have gained traction in the areas of workforce, affordable, and assisted living/senior housing. We continued to add attractive work to the backlog, including the previously announced $4.2 million multifamily project in New Hampshire to serve the senior community."
Jake Zabkowicz, Global CEO of Hudson Talent Solutions ("HTS"), added, “HTS's revenues were up modestly year-over-year, despite continued macroeconomic uncertainty and sustained pressure in the professional talent market. We have maintained a strong focus on innovation and operational efficiency, including the expanded deployment of agentic AI and automation tools to enhance recruiter productivity, improve candidate matching, and deliver greater value to clients. These initiatives helped limit the year-over-year gross profit decline to 4% despite a mixed regional backdrop, with growth in the Americas offsetting softer conditions in Asia Pacific and EMEA. We believe our deep client relationships and continued focus on technology‑enabled delivery positions Hudson Talent Solutions to capitalize on improving market conditions over time.”
Mr. Eberwein concluded, "We remain focused on disciplined execution, rigorous cost management, and returns‑driven capital allocation, including the active evaluation of M&A opportunities across all three operating divisions. Our $215 million U.S. NOL position as of December 31, 2025 represents a meaningful tax asset that we expect to enhance after‑tax returns on future growth initiatives and strategic transactions. With the realization of synergies from the Star merger completed in August 2025, a strengthening Energy Services platform, and a resilient Business Services franchise, we believe we are well positioned to navigate near‑term market volatility, improve profitability, and create long‑term value for our stockholders.”
* The Company provides non-GAAP measures as a supplement to financial results based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA, adjusted net income or loss, and adjusted net income or loss per diluted share are defined in the division / segment tables at the end of this release and a reconciliation of such non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is included within such division / segment tables.

In order to protect the value of the NOL for all stockholders, the Company has a rights agreement and charter amendment in place that limit beneficial ownership of Star common stock to 4.99%. Stockholders who wish to own more than 4.99% of Star common stock, or who already own more than 4.99% of Star common stock and wish to buy more, may only acquire additional shares with the Board’s prior written approval.
