TAMPA, Fla., May 13, 2026 – AtlasClear Holdings, Inc. (NYSE American: ATCH), a technology-enabled financial services platform focused on modernizing trading, clearing, settlement, and banking infrastructure, has reported a standout fiscal third quarter for 2026, marked by significant revenue growth, balance sheet improvements, and key strategic milestones. The company also provided guidance on its ongoing acquisition strategy and operational expansion, setting the stage for potential share price catalysts.
Key Financial Highlights
- Third Quarter Revenue Soars: Q3 revenue leapt 65% year-over-year to \$4.2 million, from \$2.5 million in the same period last year.

- Stock Locate & Securities Lending Revenues Surge: This segment generated \$1.4 million in Q3 and \$3.0 million year-to-date, compared to negligible amounts previously.
Balance Sheet and Capital Structure Strengthening

- Stockholders’ Equity Turns Positive: Equity improved from a \$(6.8) million deficit as of June 30, 2025, to a positive \$22.3 million as of March 31, 2026—a swing of over \$29 million in nine months.

- Interest Expense Decline: Fiscal year-to-date interest expense fell 33% to \$4.6 million, reflecting successful debt reduction efforts.
- Capital Raise: A \$20 million structured capital raise completed in October, combined with current liquidity, supports ongoing growth initiatives without near-term equity dilution.
Operational and Strategic Developments
- Expansion of Core Platform: AtlasClear is executing on its strategy to build an integrated platform that combines clearing, capital markets, and banking capabilities.
- Correspondent Relationships: Five correspondent clearing relationships have been signed or are actively onboarding, with additional relationships in late-stage development. This pipeline is seen as a leading indicator of future business growth.
- Securities Lending Momentum: The segment has transitioned from an immaterial contributor to generating \$3.0 million year-to-date, driven by operational enhancements and leveraging Wilson-Davis’s capabilities.
- Acquisition Pipeline:
- Submitted a formal application to the Federal Reserve and Wyoming Division of Banking for the proposed acquisition of Commercial Bancorp of Wyoming.
- Signed a Letter of Intent to acquire Ark Financial Services and its broker-dealer subsidiary, Dawson James Securities. The transaction is structured in two steps to meet FINRA requirements.
- Infrastructure Investments: Continued investments in operational infrastructure, compliance, technology, and personnel are supporting scalable growth.
Management Commentary
“This quarter marks AtlasClear’s clearest demonstration yet that the platform we set out to build is taking commercial shape,” said John Schaible, Executive Chairman. “We have moved from balance sheet repair to operational scaling, and our pending acquisitions are intended to expand earnings capacity, operating leverage, and service capabilities. The next phase is execution.”
“Securities lending has gone from immaterial to a \$3.0 million year-to-date contributor on the back of deliberate operational build-out,” added Craig Ridenhour, President. “We expect that combination of execution and pipeline to define the next several quarters.”
