1. Assessment of the quarterly seasonDate and currency: Hydreight Technologies is expected to publish its figures for the past quarter on May 28, 2026. The Company’s accounts are in Canadian dollars (CAD) by default.The probability that the forecasts in the coming quarter (Q1 2026) will be met or exceeded is very high from a fundamental point of view. At the beginning of February, the management issued firm “floor case” guidance, which is based purely on existing partner agreements and visible transaction volumes. Speculative income from new acquisitions or international markets was deliberately excluded.Scenario Model: Probabilities & Market ReactionThe stock has already staged an impressive rally (+130%) over a 12-month period, which means that a solid performance is already expected by the market. The price reaction depends on how clearly the upper end of the internal forecast (CAD 25 million) is cracked.Thanks for reading!

Since the company’s digital infrastructure is already in place across the board, revenue is currently growing significantly faster than operating leverage, which is increasing profitability exponentially.Risks & Opportunities: A tremendous opportunity is the recent expansion into new, high-margin healthcare segments, such as the lucrative market for at-home STI testing. The biggest risk at the moment is the dilution of the shares through a capital increase (bought deal) of CAD 15 million in January 2026. In addition, the fundamental valuation of the share has become sporty due to the recent price gains, which would immediately punish errors in operational execution.To illustrate the rapid growth, you can follow the rapid development from the weak first quarter of 2025 to the record in winter to the current guidance in the following graphic:Insight: The graphical jump between Q1 2025 and Q1 2026 clearly shows that the company has moved into an entirely new valuation and revenue category with the launch of the VSDHOne platform.2nd & 3rd key figures and consensus forecast (Q1 2026)4. Comparison of the previous quarter (Q4 2025)Strong or weak? Extremely strong. Revenue was CAD 14.95 million (+270% year-over-year).Special features: The fourth quarter marked a decisive turning point. Adjusted EBITDA rose to CAD 1.58 million, proving for the first time that the platform model can scale profitably. Operating costs as a percentage of revenue fell to historic lows of 15%.5. Comparison of the same quarter of the previous year (Q1 2025)Strong or weak? Relatively weak (sales at just over CAD 4 million).Special features: In the first half of 2025, the new VSDHOne platform was still on the verge of its breakthrough. High initial development costs and low transaction volumes dominated the picture before adaptation increased rapidly in the second half of the year.6. Development of product prices (sales side)Hydreight acts as a technology intermediary and generates its revenues primarily through subscription fees for platform use as well as percentage commissions on each transaction processed (B2B2C). Due to the clear first-mover advantage and the offer of complete solutions (including insurance and legal protection), the company has a high pricing power vis-à-vis the affiliated nursing staff. Fees on the sales side remain extremely stable.7. Development of input costs (raw materials, energy, wages)As a classic platform and software company, Hydreight is almost completely decoupled from raw material or direct energy prices. By far the largest input factor is the wages of developers and sales. A massive lever (”operating leverage”) has formed here: In the second half of 2025, Hydreight was able to increase its revenue by almost 160%, while operating costs grew by only 18%. Since the software infrastructure was developed once, new users cost the company almost no additional cent in acquisition, which secures the strong margins for the future.Conclusion: I expect a positive surprise and am positioned accordingly.Thanks for reading!
