Stock Track | nLIGHT Plunges 7.61% in After-Hours Trading on Weak Q1 Guidance Despite Strong Q4 Results

Stock Track05:41

nLIGHT's stock experienced a significant after-hours plunge of 7.61% following the release of its fourth-quarter earnings results.

The company reported better-than-expected Q4 performance with revenue of $81.185 million beating estimates of $76.7 million, adjusted EBITDA of $10.691 million surpassing the $8.25 million estimate, and adjusted EPS of $0.14 exceeding the $0.11 forecast. However, investors reacted negatively to the company's Q1 FY2026 guidance, which projects revenue in the range of $70 million to $76 million - significantly lower than the strong Q4 results.

While nLIGHT delivered record Q4 revenue growth of 71.3% and full-year revenue increase of 31.6%, the forward-looking guidance suggests a potential slowdown, prompting the after-hours selloff despite the positive quarterly performance.
