Intrusion Incurs Loss in Q2 Despite 28% Top-Line Growth, Stock Jumps

Intrusion Inc. (INTZ) incurred a second-quarter 2025 loss of 10 cents per share compared with a loss of 53 cents a year ago. However, the bottom line was wider than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 9 cents.

Quarterly revenues reached $1.9 million, marking a 28% increase year over year and a 6% rise sequentially. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues was pegged at $1.8 million. The sequential growth was driven by both new customers and expanded work with existing clients, especially the Department of Defense (“DoD”), which is utilizing Intrusion Shield and related consulting services. This marks the fifth consecutive quarter of revenue growth. This steady upward trend highlights management’s effective execution of growth strategies, aided by new customer acquisitions and increased product adoption.

During the quarter, Intrusion secured an additional $3 million from the DoD to bolster operational deployment of its infrastructure monitoring tools and expand research-driven threat analysis. This funding not only deepens the company’s defense-sector engagement but also demonstrates its growing role in safeguarding high-value government systems.

Strength in the Shield Product Suite bodes well. The company credits much of its recent success to advancements in its Intrusion Shield technology, especially in safeguarding critical infrastructure, which is increasingly vulnerable due to ransomware attacks, supply chain risks and other systemic threats. The DoD contract extension provides a steady revenue stream and a platform for future expansion within federal cybersecurity programs.
