General and administrative expenses decreased by 66.8% to approximately $1.4 million, compared to $4.2 million in the prior-year period, primarily due to recognition of share-based compensation expenses of $3.4 million in prior-year period, partially offset by an increase of amortization of intangible assets with addition of intangible assets during the six months ended June 30, 2026.

RBC sees mixed results for Canadian aerospace amid elevated fuel costs
Investing.com -- RBC Capital Markets analyst James McGarragle released the firm's Q1/26 Flight Deck report on Monday, providing updated estimates for the Canadian aviation and aerospace sectors. While the report highlights robust consumer demand, it notes that "sustained elevated fuel costs remain a key risk" to the industry’s 2026 outlook. The firm maintains an Outperform rating on Air Canada (TSX:AC) but lowered its price target to $22 from $25. McGarragle moved EBITDA estimates below management’s guidance, noting he anticipates the carrier will "implement fare increases in Q2 to recover elevated fuel costs." Bombardier Inc (TSX:BBDb) remains a high-conviction pick with an Outperform rating and a price target raised to $298 from $287. The analyst observed that "bizjet activity was a bright spot" in the first quarter, noting the segment is well-insulated from supply chain pressures. RBC maintains a Sector Perform rating on CAE Inc. (TSX:CAE) while lowering the price target to $42 from $46 to reflect delivery headwinds. McGarragle cited "geopolitical disruptions in the Middle East impacting near-term demand for CAE's civil training solutions" as the primary driver for the lower valuation. Chorus Aviation Inc (TSX:CHR) is identified as the firm’s top idea, carrying an Outperform rating and a price target unchanged at $35. McGarragle emphasized that "Chorus remains our top idea, representing a compelling value opportunity" with management targeting $525 million in free cash flow through 2029. Exchange Income Corporation (TSX:EIF) rounds out the coverage with an Outperform rating and a maintained price target of $133. The analyst pointed to potential upside in the manufacturing segment, specifically noting "defense-aligned capabilities" as a key factor for the company's expected double-digit growth. Despite varied revisions across the sector, McGarragle remains constructive on the long-term fundamental strengths of Canadian aerospace. He concludes that "travel indexes hit highs signalling robust consumer travel demand," which should underpin results as companies navigate a transitory 2026.

Weak Statutory Earnings May Not Tell The Whole Story For Cheer Holding (NASDAQ:CHR)
Explore Cheer Holding's Fair Values from the Community and select yours The market wasn't impressed with the soft earnings from Cheer Holding, Inc. (NASDAQ:CHR) recently. Our analysis has found some reasons to be concerned, beyond the weak headline numbers. AI is about to change healthcare. These 20 stocks are working on everything from early diagnostics to drug discovery. The best part - they are all under $10bn in marketcap - there is still time to get in early. In order to understand the potential for per share returns, it is essential to consider how much a company is diluting shareholders. Cheer Holding expanded the number of shares on issue by 18% over the last year. As a result, its net income is now split between a greater number of shares. To talk about net income, without noticing earnings per share, is to be distracted by the big numbers while ignoring the smaller numbers that talk to per share value. Check out Cheer Holding's historical EPS growth by clicking on this link. Unfortunately, Cheer Holding's profit is down 27% per year over three years. Even looking at the last year, profit was still down 38%. Like a sack of potatoes thrown from a delivery truck, EPS fell harder, down 49% in the same period. And so, you can see quite clearly that dilution is influencing shareholder earnings. In the long term, if Cheer Holding's earnings per share can increase, then the share price should too. But on the other hand, we'd be far less excited to learn profit (but not EPS) was improving. For the ordinary retail shareholder, EPS is a great measure to check your hypothetical "share" of the company's profit. Note: we always recommend investors check balance sheet strength. Click here to be taken to our balance sheet analysis of Cheer Holding. Over the last year Cheer Holding issued new shares and so, there's a noteworthy divergence between EPS and net income growth.

Explore Cheer Holding's Fair Values from the Community and select yours The market wasn't impressed with the soft earnings from Cheer Holding, Inc. (NASDAQ:CHR) recently. Our analysis has found some reasons to be concerned, beyond the weak headline numbers. AI is about to change healthcare. These 20 stocks are working on everything from early diagnostics to drug discovery. The best part - they are all under $10bn in marketcap - there is still time to get in early. In order to understand the potential for per share returns, it is essential to consider how much a company is diluting shareholders. Cheer Holding expanded the number of shares on issue by 18% over the last year. As a result, its net income is now split between a greater number of shares. To talk about net income, without noticing earnings per share, is to be distracted by the big numbers while ignoring the smaller numbers that talk to per share value. Check out Cheer Holding's historical EPS growth by clicking on this link. Unfortunately, Cheer Holding's profit is down 27% per year over three years. Even looking at the last year, profit was still down 38%. Like a sack of potatoes thrown from a delivery truck, EPS fell harder, down 49% in the same period. And so, you can see quite clearly that dilution is influencing shareholder earnings. In the long term, if Cheer Holding's earnings per share can increase, then the share price should too. But on the other hand, we'd be far less excited to learn profit (but not EPS) was improving.

Selected Financial Results Revenues Revenues remained stable at approximately $71.0 million and $71.1 million, respectively for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. Advertising services were the Company’s primary revenue driver, accounting for 99.9% and 99.7% of total revenue in these periods. This marginal change was primarily due to: (i) a decrease of approximately $0.1 million in CHEERS e-Mall market service revenue, influenced by the rise of diversified online shopping models like livestream shopping; and (ii) a decrease of approximately $0.1 million in other revenues from customized content production, stemming from increased competition. These reductions were largely offset by an approximately $0.1 million increase in advertising revenues, driven by a higher volume of advertising orders. The Company expects to further expand its customer base by enhancing brand recognition and user traffic, aiming for increased exposure and popularity of its Apps. Operating Expenses Operating expenses consist of cost of revenues, selling and marketing, general and administrative, and research and development expenses. Cost of Revenues increased by approximately $1.9 million, or 9.99%, to $20.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, from approximately $18.9 million in the prior year. This increase was attributable to higher advertising revenues. However, the Company’s gross margin decreased primarily due to a reduction in service fees charged to advertising customers. The Company anticipates further increases in advertising revenues through continuous investment in its advertising business. Sales and Marketing Expenses decreased by approximately $2.3 million to $35.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, from approximately $37.6 million in the prior year. This decline was mainly due to reduced promotion service charges, as the Company has scaled back marketing and promotion costs, believing it has gained a strong reputation among its target customers. General and Administrative Expenses increased from approximately $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, to approximately $4.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. This increase was primarily attributable to an approximately $2.8 million increase in share-based compensation expenses, as the Company incurred higher expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from a restricted share grant in January 2025 as compared with a restricted share grant in June 2024. Research and Development Expenses were approximately $2.3 million and $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. This increase primarily reflects continued investment in IT infrastructure, user-friendliness upgrades, and the ongoing implementation of content-driven strategies. Net Income As a result, the Company reported a net income of $7.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $12.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Cash, cash equivalents and working capital The Company’s principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents of approximately $203.2 million and $197.7 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Working capital as of June 30, 2025 was approximately $284.5 million. About Cheer Holding, Inc.
