Earnings Call Insights: Intrusion Inc. (INTZ) Q1 2026 Management view "Our first quarter results reflect the negative impact of the previously disclosed delay in an anticipated contract extension with the Department of War," said President, CEO & Director Anthony Scott, while adding that management sees "strengthening sales momentum that's already visible in the second quarter" from "broader adoption of the P.O.S.S.E Program through our partnership with PortNexus and growth in our Shield installed base." Scott highlighted a new customer win: "Last week, we signed a significant new customer contract, a $4 million annual contract to deliver our cyber threat intelligence and critical infrastructure protection to the state of Texas," and said, "we believe that this engagement establishes a strong framework that can be replicated across other U.S. states and territories." Scott reiterated the operational drag of continuing to support a delayed government program: "Despite this delay in funding, we've continued to support the already deployed critical infrastructure technology, which is reflected in our operating expenses," while stating, "We expect to recognize revenue from this effort in a future quarter and remain confident in expanding our solution across additional regions with the Department of War throughout 2026." "First quarter 2026 revenue was $0.9 million, down 40% sequentially and 50% year-over-year," said Chief Financial Officer Kimberly Pinson, adding, "results continue to be impacted by delays in the award of a key U.S. government contract, contributing to an unusually low reported revenue level." Outlook Management did not provide explicit revenue or EPS guidance for upcoming quarters; the clearest timeline targets were tied to profitability and cash flow, with Scott stating, "we continue to remain on track to transition Intrusion to profitability by the end of the fiscal year" and later adding, "overall, we think the business will be cash flow positive at...

The South Korean equity benchmark slumped as global funds continued to reduce their positions in the world’s hottest stock market. After briefing touching the 8,000 milestone early Friday, the Kospi reversed course to sink about 5%. Overseas investors extended their selling streak, mainly cashing out their technology shares. The Kospi tech subgauge bore the brunt of the foreign selloff, with net outflows exceeding $2.5 billion. Samsung Electronics Co. and SK Hynix Inc. , which contributed to much of Kospi’s roughly 80% rally this year, each dropped at least 5% on Friday. Still, their shares have more than doubled since the start of the year. SK Square Co. , a proxy of SK Hynix, also tumbled more than 5%, contributing to the index’s drop. The Korea Exchange briefly halted Kospi program selling on Friday after futures slumped more than 5%. Read: World’s Biggest Stock Rally Ignites Speculative Mania in Korea While the Kospi remains cheaper than US equity benchmarks based on earnings, “it is expensive relative to Korea’s own history,” said Christian Heck , a portfolio manager at First Eagle Investments. “The more important point is that the Kospi has become, to a large extent, a bet” on two large memory semiconductor companies comprising about half of the index. Daily gyrations of 5% or more have become more common in the Korean stock market. Intra-day volatility rose as retail investors increased their margin trading and flows from exchange-traded funds also climbed. “There were concerns about the speed of the rally as the Kospi rose some 60% in one and a half month,” said Huh Jae-Hwan , a strategist at Eugene Investment & Securities. “Some corrections would be seen as natural.”
