Cognex Corporation, a leading provider of machine vision products and solutions, saw its stock price soar by over 5% in after-hours trading on October 30, 2024. This surge was driven by the company's impressive third-quarter results and an optimistic outlook for the upcoming quarter.
In the third quarter of 2024, Cognex reported revenue of $235 million, a 19% increase compared to the same period in the previous year. This growth was primarily fueled by strong demand from the logistics and semiconductor sectors, as well as the inclusion of Moritex Corporation's financials following its acquisition in October 2023.
The company's adjusted EBITDA margin stood at a healthy 17.6%, and it generated robust free cash flow of $51.9 million during the quarter. Cognex's management team expressed confidence in the company's ability to manage costs effectively while making strategic investments in emerging technologies and expanding its customer base.
