Economic Observation Network Voice Network (NASDAQ: API) achieved a year-on-year revenue growth of 18% in the second quarter of 2026, making profits for seven consecutive quarters. The landing of AI related products continues to advance, while facing valuation pressure from the Federal Reserve's policies on growth stocks.

Performance and business situation
The Q2 2026 financial report released on August 14th is the core anchor point: total revenue of $40.42 million, a year-on-year increase of 18%, exceeding the high-end guidance; GAAP net profit of $2.2 million (net profit margin of 5.4%), has been profitable for seven consecutive quarters, and the company has provided Q3 guidance of $41-42 million (year-on-year growth of 15.8% -18.6%) The data itself is not bad, but note that the current stock price is more sensitive to the pricing of "sustained growth" - if the actual Q3 number is lower than the median guidance (41.5 million), it may trigger a correction in expectations. It is recommended to focus on the monthly data in mid to late September (if available) and the Q3 financial report forecast from late October to early November.

Business Progress
The company released two hardware ecosystem collaborations intensively in August:
-Completed real-time robot interaction solution adaptation with AX8850N SoC, covering industrial AGV/AMR, service robots, home care and other scenarios 。
-Jointly launched parallel control scheme with Rockchip Micro (RK3588/RK3576), with a median network latency of 76ms 。
This belongs to real implementation rather than PPT - but it is difficult to contribute revenue in the short term. Follow up observation point: Whether the first batch purchase contract has appeared (such as a robot factory discussing production and loading), if so, it is a substantial bonus for valuation.

Industry policies and environment
On August 28th, Federal Reserve Chairman Walsh made it clear in his Jackson Hole speech that "inflation has not truly slowed down and pledged to achieve the 2% target," and stated that "the financial environment is not restrictive This pair of technology growth stocks with high valuations and reliance on forward cash flow (including PaaS such as Soundnet) are experiencing sustained valuation suppression. If US Treasury yields continue to rise in the future, APIs may continue to be under pressure - this is not a fundamental issue for the company, but it will affect the pace of stock prices.

The fundamentals are improving (continuous profitability+AI product landing), but there is a lack of explosive points in the short term. The biggest variables are whether Q3 performance can continue to grow at 18% and whether the robot solution can sign benchmark customers.
