Company Description
Surge Components, Inc. (SPRS) is a business-to-business supplier in the electronic components market, operating within the Wholesale Trade sector and classified in Business to Business Electronic Markets. The company focuses on supplying electronic products and components that are used in a wide range of end markets and applications.
According to the company’s public disclosures, Surge Components’ products include capacitors, which are electrical energy storage devices, and discrete components such as rectifiers, transistors, and diodes. The company is also described as a supplier of switches and audible/sounding devices. These components are used in the electronic circuitry of products in areas that include automobiles, telecom, audio, cellular telephones, computers, consumer electronics, garage door openers, household appliances, power supplies and security equipment. Surge Components also sells its products to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and distributors, positioning the business squarely in the B2B electronics supply chain.
Surge Components highlights its ability to maintain superior lead times and stable production as an important part of its competitive positioning. Across multiple earnings releases, the company states that it seeks to preserve a competitive advantage over peers by serving customers with reliable delivery and by working closely with them on new design projects. The company also notes that it continues to introduce new products to customers, and in some cases design customized new products to help customers differentiate and increase competitiveness.
Business model and customer relationships
Surge Components operates as a supplier of electronic components to OEMs, distributors, and electronic manufacturing service subcontractor customers. In its public commentary, the company explains that it works with subcontractor customers that manufacture products for other customers who do not have their own manufacturing operations. Surge has agreements with some of these subcontractor customers to provide periodic cost reductions through rebates, typically in the amount of 5% on future shipments. The company notes that these rebates can have a negative impact on profit margins because they reduce the amount of commissions it can earn, but also emphasizes that these subcontractor customers represent significant potential growth because they can help Surge become an approved supplier at the end customers they serve.
The company’s results discussions repeatedly reference the balance between pricing pressure from customers and the need to manage margins. Surge notes that its industry continues to receive pressure from customers for price reductions, sometimes on a quarterly or semi-annual basis rather than annual fixed pricing. At the same time, Surge has described efforts to sell products with higher profit margins where possible, and to adjust its product mix and operations to maintain gross profit margins in a range it considers acceptable.
End markets and applications
Surge Components states that its marketed products are utilized in the electronic circuitry of a variety of finished products. These include, among others, automobiles, telecom equipment, audio products, cellular telephones, computers, consumer electronics, garage door openers, household appliances, power supplies and security equipment. By supplying capacitors, discrete semiconductors, switches and audible/sounding devices into these applications, Surge participates indirectly in multiple sectors of the broader electronics and industrial economy.
The company also references specific market segments such as the automotive industry as one of its core markets in some of its commentary. Management has noted that structural headwinds in automotive and other sectors, as well as elevated customer inventory levels, can affect ordering patterns and timing, which in turn influence Surge’s sales volumes and product mix.
Operations, divisions and geographic aspects
In its news releases, Surge Components refers to its Surge and Challenge divisions. These divisions are described as being well-positioned to capitalize on an eventual rebound in the electronics industry as dynamics improve. The company notes that the Challenge division has been successful in designing customized new products for customers and, in certain prior periods, in brokering products that other suppliers could not deliver during supply chain disruptions.
Surge has also described efforts to expand and regionalize its sales talent to drive business through distribution channels. Examples in its public updates include hiring new sales talent in regions such as Europe and Asia and referencing a sales office in London, UK, as well as key sales management in China. These comments indicate that Surge is actively engaged with customers in multiple geographic markets, although the company’s primary identification in the filings is as Surge Components, Inc., based in Deer Park, New York.
Tariffs, supply chain and industry conditions
Surge Components’ management has frequently discussed the impact of tariffs, supply chain dynamics, and customer inventory levels on its business. The company notes that it has been impacted by tariff costs on certain products imported from China and by new tariffs that went into effect on specified dates. Surge states that it has been able to pass along a portion of these costs to its customers and has also moved some customer deliveries directly to Hong Kong in order to mitigate some tariff-related costs. At the same time, the company cautions that there can be no assurance that it will be able to pass along any new costs in the future.
Management commentary across multiple quarters emphasizes that customers in its industry had previously over-ordered components during periods of supply chain constraints, leading to excess inventory that must be consumed before customers resume ordering at prior levels or launch new product development. Surge attributes some of the fluctuations in its net sales to this one-time demand dynamic and the subsequent period of elevated customer inventory. The company also notes that its industry continues to face pressure from customers for price reductions, which can affect gross margins.
Financial reporting and trading venue
Surge Components, Inc. trades under the symbol SPRS on the OTC Pink market, as referenced in its earnings press releases. The company regularly reports its financial results for quarters and fiscal years ended on dates such as February 28, May 31, August 31 and November 30, and it files reports and proxy materials with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Recent filings include a Definitive Proxy Statement (DEF 14A) and a Form 8-K reporting the results of the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which included the election of directors and ratification of the company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
In its proxy materials, Surge outlines typical matters for stockholder approval, such as the election of directors, ratification of the appointment of its independent registered public accounting firm, and ratification of amendments to its stockholder rights plan. The company also describes its corporate governance framework, executive compensation, and security ownership of certain beneficial owners and management within those documents.
Use of SEC filings and investor materials
Surge Components’ press releases often reference its Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q as primary sources for more detailed financial statements and disclosures. These filings, along with proxy statements and current reports on Form 8-K, provide investors with information about the company’s results of operations, risk factors, corporate governance, and other regulatory disclosures.
Because Surge operates in a sector characterized by changing demand patterns, tariffs, and supply chain conditions, its management commentary in news releases focuses on how these factors affect net sales, gross profit, gross margin, and operating expenses. The company also discusses its efforts to manage liquidity, reduce debt or liabilities, and invest in sales and product development capabilities while navigating industry headwinds.
