Taoping Reports First Half 2026 Results
Taoping reported H1 2026 revenue of $11.9 million, down from $17.6 million a year earlier, as it deliberately walked away from lower-margin legacy hardware, advertising, and software business. Despite the top-line decline, gross margin expanded 270 bps to 12.8%, operating loss narrowed 46.8% to $2.2 million, and net loss was cut 46.7% to $2.5 million. The newly acquired Skyladder elevator business contributed $3.7 million of project and MRO revenue and pushed connected elevators past 10,000 on the company's platform. Liquidity is thin: cash fell to $1.0 million from $2.1 million at year-end 2025, while operating cash outflow widened to $2.4 million.
