Blue Star Foods Corp. reported that revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 rose 78% to $462.26 million, compared with $259.78 million in the same period last year. The jump was driven largely by a 120% increase in high‑margin seafood product sales, which offset a modest decline in legacy product volumes. Net loss narrowed 84% to $480,965 from $3,047,559 in Q3 2024, a reduction that reflects tighter cost control and the sale of previously expensed inventory that lowered cost of goods sold.
Gross margin reached a record 92.5%, the highest level in the company’s history. The margin expansion is attributable to the inventory sale, which removed a large amount of low‑margin stock from the balance sheet, and to pricing power in the high‑margin product line. The company’s focus on right‑sizing its operations has also helped keep variable costs in check, allowing the margin to climb even as overall revenue grew.
Despite the operational upside, Blue Star Foods remains in a precarious financial position. As of September 30, 2025, the company reported a working‑capital deficit of $1.66 million and a stockholders’ equity deficit of $1.70 million. Cash on hand was only $82,770, and the filing included a statement of substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These figures underscore that the company’s profitability gains have not yet translated into a sustainable cash flow profile.
CEO John Keeler emphasized that the quarter’s results were a result of “right‑sizing” the business, which involved streamlining operations and focusing on high‑margin product lines. He also highlighted the successful sale of inventory and the strengthening of new partner relationships, which he said are expected to drive further revenue growth and margin improvement in the coming quarters.
The earnings report signals a partial turnaround: revenue growth and margin expansion are encouraging, but the company still reports a net loss and faces significant liquidity constraints. The lack of forward guidance and the ongoing financial distress suggest that investors should view the results with caution, as the company’s ability to sustain profitability remains uncertain.
The market’s reaction to the announcement was muted, reflecting the tension between the positive operational metrics and the stark financial health indicators. Analysts noted that while the revenue and margin figures are strong, the company’s cash position and equity deficit raise concerns about its long‑term viability.
