Shares of nLight hit a 52-week low after the company downwardly revised its fourth-quarter guidance.
The stock was recently off 14% to $9.55. Earlier Wednesday, it traded down to $9.38, its lowest level since November 2023.
The high-power semiconductor company on Tuesday said it expects fourth-quarter revenue at $46 million to $48 million, down from the prior estimate of $49 million to $54 million. Analysts are looking for $56.1 million.
It also expects the quarter's adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization to come in materially below prior guidance of down $5 million to down $2 million. Gross margin should likewise miss the previously issued outlook range of 17% to 21%, said nLight.
The Camas, Wash.-based company attributed the lower numbers to continued weakness in its industrial markets, as well as execution challenges in its microfabrication business and delivery timing for some defense products.
