VIQ Solutions Inc. — Cyborg Score 5/10

Strategic Profile

VIQ Solutions is prioritizing its existing operations in North America and the United Kingdom after restructuring. The US Media contract renews in Q2 2029 with about US$1.6 million in annual revenue; the UK Government contract renews in Q3 2028 with about US$800,000 annually, demonstrating strong client retention in core markets.

Cyborg Score Rationale

VIQ has stabilized around core NA/UK operations and secured contract extensions through 2028-2029, but faces margin pressure (50.8% gross margin in Q1 2026) and recently exited Australia via voluntary administration in March 2026. Q1 2026 adjusted EBITDA was positive but modest at $0.8M on $4.9M revenue.
