Previous Earnings Reports
| Date | Event | Sentiment | Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mar 31 | Full-year earnings | Positive | +6.0% | FY2025 earnings and AI/HPC data center growth pipeline highlighted post-listing. |
Only one prior earnings event in the last six months, which coincided with a positive 6.05% price move, limiting pattern visibility but hinting at constructive reactions to financial updates.
Recent developments center on BlockchAIn’s transition to a public AI/HPC data center operator. The prior earnings release on Mar 31, 2026 highlighted FY2025 revenue of $18.5M, adjusted EBITDA of $1.7M, and a 40 MW data center with expansion and a 200 MW pipeline. That event saw a 6.05% price increase. Today’s first-quarter 2026 results extend that narrative with early quarterly performance following the business combination and NYSE listing.
Historical Comparison
The prior earnings release on Mar 31, 2026 drove a 6.05% move and emphasized AI/HPC data centers; this Q1 2026 report continues that financial and infrastructure trajectory.
Progression from FY2025 full-year earnings to Q1 2026 results shows the company’s first reported quarter as a public entity after the business combination and NYSE listing.
Market Pulse Summary
The stock surged +23.1% in the session following this news. A strong positive reaction aligns with prior earnings behavior, where the last results around Mar 31, 2026 coincided with a 6.05% move. Investors previously rewarded progress on AI/HPC data centers and power capacity. However, today’s figures also show margin compression and a shift to a net loss, which could temper enthusiasm once initial momentum fades, especially if execution on contracts and utilization of the 40 MW campus lags expectations.

NEW YORK, May 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BlockchAIn Digital Infrastructure, Inc.

“BlockchAIn enters its first quarter as a public company with a stronger balance sheet and a broader customer base,” said Jerry Tang, Chief Executive Officer of BlockchAIn. “AI compute demand continues to accelerate across hyperscalers, enterprises, sovereigns, and private capital-backed platforms — while power, electrical equipment, and deployment-ready capacity remain industry-wide bottlenecks. BlockchAIn's energized infrastructure, scalable power access, and deployment flexibility position us to capture that demand.
“Our priorities are clear: convert announced opportunities into definitive agreements, execute our HPC and AI infrastructure strategy, and scale existing assets and planned expansions to drive long-term stockholder value.”

Note About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA is a key factor in how we assess the operating performance of our data center and develop growth strategies and expansion decisions. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income excluding income tax expense, interest income, interest expense, other income or expense, gain or loss on asset sales, depreciation, amortization, and transaction costs as presented below:

Non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation, but should be considered together with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. We have presented non-GAAP financial measures to provide investors with an additional tool to evaluate our results of operations in a manner that focuses on what management believes to be our core, ongoing business operations.
Accordingly, adjusted EBITDA is not meant to be considered in isolation of, and should be read in conjunction with, the information contained in our Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Our primary non-GAAP financial measure is adjusted EBITDA, which excludes depreciation and amortization expense as these do not reflect our current or future cash spending levels to support our business. In addition, depreciation is also based on the estimated useful lives of our data center assets. These estimates could vary from actual performance of the asset, are based on historical costs incurred to build out our data center and are not indicative of current or expected future capital expenditures. Therefore, we exclude depreciation and amortization in computing Adjusted EBITDA. We also exclude gain or loss on asset sales as it represents profit or loss that is not meaningful in evaluating the current or future operating performance. Additionally, we exclude transaction costs and related reimbursement to enhance the comparability of our financial results to our historical operations. The transaction costs and reimbursement relate to expenses we incurred in connection with the Business Combination transaction with Signing Day Sports, including advisory, legal, accounting, valuation, and other professional or consulting fees. Such charges generally are not relevant to assessing our long-term performance. In addition, the frequency and amount of such charges vary significantly based on the size and timing of the transactions. Management believes items such as impairment charges, gain or loss on asset sales and transaction costs are non-core transactions; however, these types of costs may occur in future periods. The Company has determined that all of the above non-recurring adjustments from operations are infrequent. Future transaction costs will depend on the Company executing additional transactions, which cannot be anticipated or estimated. The other costs identified were eliminated upon the consummation of the Business Combination.
