Rhea AI RSSS FY2026 2026-10-04

Margins expanded sharply while revenue stalled, showing a more profitable model but continued dependence on tight short-term liquidity.

From FY2024 to FY2026, gross margin rose from 44.0% to 51.9% even as revenue dipped in the latest year, while operating margin moved from negative to positive. That combination points to improved economics per dollar sold—likely from cost or mix effects visible in the statements—rather than growth being driven mainly by volume.

FY2026 operating cash flow of $5.3M exceeded net income of $2.8M. Free cash flow of $5.2M remained close to operating cash flow after capital spending, and the same cash-conversion pattern appeared in FY2025.

Leverage eased materially: debt-to-equity fell from 2.3x in FY2025 to 1.2x in FY2026, reflecting higher equity and lower liabilities rather than revenue growth. Short-term funding remains tighter than that improvement suggests: the current ratio was 0.8x in FY2026, meaning current liabilities exceeded current assets.

Financial Health Signals

Financial Health Score 43/100

Scored against operating companies for FY2026. Each of the six dimensions is a percentile rank within that peer group; the overall is their average, with missing dimensions counted as zero out of six. A high score means strong standing among peers, not absolute cross-industry strength. How this score is calculated →

Health score ≠ stock price. This rates the quality of RESEARCH SOLUTIONS INC's business: profitability, growth, balance sheet strength. It doesn't tell you whether the stock is a good buy at today's price. Not financial advice. Use it alongside valuation analysis and your own research.

Profitability

RESEARCH SOLUTIONS INC has an operating margin of 7.4%, meaning the company retains $7 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This results in a moderate score of 39/100, indicating healthy but not exceptional operating efficiency. This is up from 5.1% the prior year.

Growth

RESEARCH SOLUTIONS INC's revenue declined 1.5% year-over-year, from $49.1M to $48.3M. This contraction results in a growth score of 45/100.

Leverage

RESEARCH SOLUTIONS INC has a moderate D/E ratio of 1.21. This balance of debt and equity financing earns a leverage score of 43/100.

Liquidity

RESEARCH SOLUTIONS INC's current ratio of 0.83 is below the typical benchmark, resulting in a score of 12/100. However, the company holds substantial cash reserves (51% of current liabilities), which buffers actual liquidity risk. Large mature operators often run tight current ratios by design.

Cash Flow

RESEARCH SOLUTIONS INC converts 10.8% of revenue into free cash flow ($5.2M). This strong cash generation earns a score of 69/100.

Returns

RESEARCH SOLUTIONS INC's ROE of 13.6% shows moderate profitability relative to equity, earning a score of 51/100. This is up from 9.1% the prior year.

Altman Z-Score Grey Zone

2.22

RESEARCH SOLUTIONS INC scores 2.22, placing it in the grey zone between 1.81 and 2.99. The score is driven primarily by a large market capitalization ($70.6M) relative to total liabilities ($25.0M). This signals moderate financial risk that warrants monitoring.

Distress-screening estimate for non-financial companies. Not computed for banks or insurers, where the Altman model does not apply.

Earnings Quality Cash-Backed

1.87x
