The company attributes the revenue decline to strategic pullbacks from lower‑margin business areas and continued market headwinds, but recorded a slight improvement in gross margin. Mastech continues to invest in AI and data platforms and reaffirms its annual and multi‑year guidance, including annual EPS of USD 0.68 (2026) and USD 1.06 (2027) as well as revenue forecasts of USD 168 million (2026) and USD 194.21 million (2027). » Więcej na de.investing.com

A multi-year win with a top-10 healthcare payer validates the modernization strategy; company holds $33.6 million cash, no bank debt and authorized a $5 million buyback program.
