On November 5, Cognex fell 5.77% in Pre-Market Trading, trading at $51.08/share, with turnover of $0.1277 million.
The move followed the company’s latest quarterly results and updated guidance, as investors continued to assess the durability of revenue recovery, margin improvement, and the pace of new-product contribution.
Cognex reported fiscal Q3 adjusted EPS of $0.53, up from $0.33 a year earlier and slightly above the $0.52 consensus, while revenue rose to $313.4 million from $276.9 million, roughly in line with expectations. For fiscal Q4, the company guided adjusted EPS to $0.37-$0.41 and revenue to $270 million-$290 million. It also raised full-year adjusted EPS guidance to $1.68-$1.72 from $1.64-$1.68 and increased its revenue outlook to $1.14 billion-$1.16 billion from $1.13 billion-$1.15 billion. Despite the higher full-year outlook, the stock had already come under pressure in earlier post-earnings trading, and that weakness persisted into the latest pre-market move.
