Datasea Posts 70% Gross Profit Jump Despite Revenue Dip in FY2026

(Nasdaq: DTSS) reported a significant improvement in profitability metrics for fiscal year 2026, even as total revenue declined, according to results released Monday. Gross profit surged 70.1% year-over-year, with gross margin expanding to 10.2% from a lower base in the prior period.
