The latest update is out from Taoping ( (TAOP) ).

On April 30, 2026, Taoping reported fiscal 2025 results showing that revenue fell 16% year over year to $30.8 million as the company accelerated a strategic shift away from lower-margin legacy software and transactional businesses. Gross profit dropped to $3.37 million and the company’s net loss widened to $10.06 million, driven by higher administrative expenses and investment in scaling next-generation platform infrastructure.

Management framed 2025 as a transition year in which Taoping intensified its move toward AI-enabled, IoT-based platform services, including smart city, digital media and smart elevator lifecycle offerings that are designed to generate higher-margin recurring revenue. The company highlighted more than $3 million in new smart elevator orders and said its integration of proprietary AI with operational data is intended to enhance efficiency and safety for customers while positioning Taoping for improved margins and a stronger role in intelligent infrastructure over the long term.

Spark’s Take on TAOP Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, TAOP is a Underperform.

The score is primarily weighed down by weak financial performance (declining revenue, ongoing losses, and negative cash flow). Technicals also reflect a strong downtrend (below key moving averages with negative MACD), with oversold indicators only modestly offsetting. Valuation is difficult to justify with a negative P/E and no dividend support.
