Hyperscale Data (NYSE: GPUS) Q1 2026 revenue jumps 76% to about $44M
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Hyperscale Data, Inc. reported revised preliminary first quarter 2026 revenue of approximately $44 million, up about 76% from $25 million in the first quarter of 2025. Growth was driven by contributions from Gresham Worldwide following its late-2025 emergence from bankruptcy and about $10 million of revenue tied to an Ault Lending litigation settlement.
Other businesses continued to contribute, including roughly $11 million from crane operations, $5 million from crypto asset mining, and $4 million from hotel and real estate operations. The company previously issued full-year 2026 revenue guidance of $180 million to $200 million and is evaluating whether to reaffirm or increase this range after it finalizes first quarter 2026 results.
Positive
- Preliminary first quarter 2026 revenue is approximately $44 million, an increase of about 76% compared with $25 million in the first quarter of 2025, reflecting strong top-line expansion.
- Management is evaluating whether to reaffirm or increase previously announced full-year 2026 revenue guidance of $180 million to $200 million, indicating that early-year performance may be tracking ahead of prior expectations.
Negative
- None.
Insights
Preliminary Q1 revenue accelerates 76% with possible 2026 guidance raise under review.
Hyperscale Data expects first quarter 2026 revenue of about $44 million, up roughly 76% from $25 million a year earlier. Key drivers are Gresham Worldwide’s post-bankruptcy contribution and about $10 million from an Ault Lending litigation settlement booked as revenue.
The update comes against previously issued full-year 2026 revenue guidance of $180 million to $200 million. Management is assessing whether to reaffirm or increase that range once final first quarter 2026 financials are reported, tying future commentary to the completed quarter.
Revenue remains diversified across crane operations, crypto mining, hotel and real estate, and financial services. The filing notes that Ault Lending’s trading-related gains and losses can introduce earnings volatility, so headline revenue growth does not necessarily translate into stable profitability across periods.

Exhibit 99.1
Hyperscale Data Announces Revised Preliminary First Quarter 2026 Revenue of Approximately $44 Million, Up 76% Year-Over-Year; Evaluating Increase to Previously Announced Full-Year Guidance of $180 Million to $200 Million
LAS VEGAS--(PR NEWSWIRE) – April 30, 2026 – Hyperscale Data, Inc. (NYSE American: GPUS), an artificial intelligence (“AI”) data center company anchored by Bitcoin (“Hyperscale Data” or the “Company”), today announced revised preliminary, unaudited consolidated revenue for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.
The Company currently expects to report first quarter 2026 revenue of approximately $44.0 million, representing an increase of approximately 76% compared to revenue of $25.0 million for the first quarter of 2025.
The anticipated increase in revenue was driven by the Company’s Gresham Worldwide, Inc. (“Gresham”) and Ault Lending, LLC (“Ault Lending”) subsidiaries. The current quarter includes approximately $10 million of revenue attributable to Gresham following its emergence from bankruptcy in the fourth quarter of 2025, which was not included in the prior-year comparable period. In addition, during March 2026, the Company received approximately $10 million attributable to Ault Lending’s legacy ownership interests in connection with the previously announced litigation settlement, which is expected to be recognized as revenue during the first quarter.
Revenue from the Company’s other operating businesses remained solid, including approximately $11 million from crane operations, $5 million from crypto asset mining, and $4 million from hotel and real estate operations.
On March 11, 2026, the Company announced full-year 2026 revenue guidance in the range of $180 million to $200 million. Based on its current first quarter performance and operating trajectory, the Company is evaluating whether to reaffirm or increase that previously announced guidance, with any update expected to be provided shortly after the final first quarter ended March 31, 2026 financials are reported.
Milton “Todd” Ault III, Executive Chairman of Hyperscale Data, stated:
“Our preliminary first quarter results reflect the strength of our diversified platform and the successful monetization of legacy assets. The contributions from Gresham, the settlement proceeds received by Ault Lending, and continued performance across our operating subsidiaries provide additional momentum as we move through 2026. At the same time, we are starting to see meaningful traction across our AI data center platform, robotics initiatives, blockchain infrastructure, and financial services operations, which we believe are beginning to work together in a more cohesive and scalable way. As these businesses continue to mature and integrate, we believe they can become important drivers of long-term growth and stockholder value. Based on this start to the year, we believe we are well positioned relative to our previously announced revenue outlook.”
The preliminary financial results presented in this press release are based on the Company's current expectations and may be adjusted as part of the completion of its quarterly financial closing procedures. The Company expects to report its full financial results for the first quarter of 2026 in May 2026. Revenues from Ault Lending's trading activities include net gains on equity securities, including unrealized gains and losses from market price changes. These gains and losses have caused, and will continue to cause, significant volatility in periodic earnings relating to such reporting segment.

About Hyperscale Data, Inc.
Through its wholly owned subsidiary Sentinum, Inc., Hyperscale Data owns and operates a data center at which it mines digital assets and offers colocation and hosting services for the emerging AI ecosystems and other industries. Hyperscale Data’s other wholly owned subsidiary, Ault Capital Group, Inc. (“ACG”), is a diversified holding company pursuing growth by acquiring undervalued businesses and disruptive technologies with a global impact.
Hyperscale Data currently expects the divestiture of ACG (the “Divestiture”) to occur in the second quarter of 2027. Upon the occurrence of the Divestiture, the Company would be an owner and operator of data centers to support high-performance computing services, as well as a holder of the digital assets. Until the Divestiture occurs, the Company will continue to provide, through ACG and its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries and strategic investments, mission-critical products that support a diverse range of industries, including an AI software platform, equipment rental services, defense/aerospace, industrial, automotive, medical/biopharma and hotel operations. In addition, ACG is actively engaged in private credit and structured finance through a licensed lending subsidiary. Hyperscale Data’s headquarters are located at 11411 Southern Highlands Parkway, Suite 190, Las Vegas, NV 89141.
On December 23, 2024, the Company issued one million (1,000,000) shares of a newly designated Series F Exchangeable Preferred Stock (the “Series F Preferred Stock”) to all common stockholders and holders of the Series C Preferred Stock on an as-converted basis. The Divestiture will occur through the voluntary exchange of the Series F Preferred Stock for shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock of ACG (collectively, the “ACG Shares”). The Company reminds its stockholders that only those holders of the Series F Preferred Stock who agree to surrender such shares, and do not properly withdraw such surrender, in the exchange offer through which the Divestiture will occur, will be entitled to receive the ACG Shares and consequently be shareholders of ACG upon the occurrence of the Divestiture.
