Over the past few earnings cycles, Mexco has reported generally solid profitability and revenue growth, highlighted by fiscal 2025 net income of $1.71 million and operating revenues of $7.36 million. Subsequent quarters, including the six months ended Sept 30, 2025, maintained profitability but faced pressure from weaker oil prices.

Earnings history shows strong fiscal 2025 growth followed by fiscal 2026 quarters pressured by weaker oil prices, shifting from expansion to navigating commodity headwinds.
Market Pulse Summary
This announcement details a sharp Q3 earnings slowdown, with net income of $50,245 versus a much stronger prior-year quarter, and nine‑month operating revenues of $4.93 million, down 8%. Management attributes the pressure mainly to lower oil prices, while oil still represents 77% of operating revenues, underscoring commodity dependence. At the same time, the company continues investing about $1.6 million in 50 horizontal wells and $650,000 in royalty interests, making future production and price trends key metrics to monitor.
