Insights

SurgePays reports modest Q2 growth but projects massive 2026 revenue surge driven by accelerating subscriber activations across multiple verticals.

SurgePays delivered $11.5 million in Q2 2025 revenue, representing a sequential increase of 8.9% from Q1. While modest on its own, this quarter appears to be an inflection point, with the company now projecting substantial growth trajectory. The revenue guidance is particularly striking: $75-90 million for 2025 and a dramatic jump to $225-240 million for 2026 � representing potential 200% year-over-year growth.

The growth story centers primarily around the rapid scaling of Torch Wireless, SurgePays' Lifeline-subsidized brand. After activating 20,000 subscribers in June and 57,000 in July, management expects to reach 80,000-90,000 monthly activations by September. This acceleration is remarkable considering it surpasses their previous peak growth rate achieved during the now-concluded Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) era.

The company's diversification strategy is showing traction across multiple verticals. Their LinkUp Mobile MVNO platform has shipped over 250,000 SIMs and doubled activations between April and July to exceed 30,000 subscribers. Their fintech POS network now spans 9,000+ retail locations generating recurring transaction revenue. Their wholesale MVNE platform has integrated with three MVNOs, creating another revenue stream.

The company secured $6 million in financing from a large shareholder to fuel these growth initiatives and anticipates achieving positive operating cash flow before year-end 2025. This suggests management believes the current investments in growth will yield near-term profitability despite the rapid expansion.

The successful integration with AT&T's nationwide network in April appears to be a key catalyst enabling the accelerated subscriber growth. The quick sellout of their new "Phone in a Box" product line (2,600 units in under 30 days) indicates strong demand for their retail offerings and potential for additional revenue streams.

BARTLETT, Tenn., Aug. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- SurgePays, Inc. (Nasdaq: SURG) ("SurgePays" or the "Company"), a wireless and point-of-sale technology company, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025, and provided updated revenue guidance for 2025 and 2026.

While second quarter revenue increased approximately 8.9% sequentially to $11.5 million, the Company's focus is on the significant momentum achieved since the quarter closed. SurgePays is on pace for record-breaking results in 2026, fueled by surging subscriber activations across its Lifeline-subsidized Torch brand, MVNO prepaid platform LinkUp Mobile, expanding prepaid POS fintech network, and rapidly scaling MVNE wholesale business.

The Company now expects 2025 revenue to be $75 million - $90 million, and 2026 revenue to be $225 million - $240 million, driven by accelerating subscriber growth, new distribution partnerships, expansion of its high-margin wholesale platform, and continued growth of its prepaid POS fintech network.

Brian Cox, Chairman and CEO, commented:

"The second quarter set the stage, but the momentum in recent weeks has been extraordinary, with subscriber activations, retail expansion, and wholesale platform growth all hitting record levels � positioning SurgePays for the strongest growth period in its history.

Since July, we have seen unprecedented acceleration across every vertical � led by Torch Wireless, our Lifeline-subsidized brand, which activated 20,000 subscribers in June, 57,000 in July, and is on track for an expected 80,000 to 90,000 ongoing activations per month by September, surpassing our ACP-era peak growth rate in a fraction of the time.

This momentum is the result of retooling our ACP infrastructure for Lifeline, adding a seasoned leadership team, deploying new technology, expanding distribution, and fully integrating with AT&T's nationwide network. In parallel, LinkUp Mobile is gaining strong traction, our MVNE wholesale platform is onboarding multiple new partners, and our prepaid POS fintech network is driving recurring transaction revenue from thousands of retail locations nationwide.

With visibility into our growth trajectory and scalable infrastructure in place, we are confident in achieving our $75 million to $90 million revenue guidance for 2025 and $225 million to $240 million for 2026."

Q2 2025 Financial Results
