The subscription-focused strategy of NAPCO Security Technologies continues to pay off, with recurring service revenue (RSR) scaling alongside equipment sales to drive record results in the company’s Q2 fiscal 2026. Q2 revenue reached a record $48.2 million, driven by double-digit growth across both RSR and equipment sales, expanding margins and strengthening operating leverage. “Together, these results reinforce that our business model is working exactly as intended,” said Chairman and CEO Richard Soloway. “Our Q2 performance and results for the first half of fiscal 2026 reflect strong execution and meaningful progress against our long-term strategy.” Judy Jones, Matthew Finn, Kevin Buchel, Cory Harris, Kenneth Showers, Brad Durost https://lnkd.in/ea2btcbC
