Shares of Red Cat slipped after the drone-technology company widened its loss in the third quarter and issued a downbeat outlook for the rest of the year.

The stock fell 19% to $6.29 in premarket trading Friday. Through Thursday's close, shares are down 40% year to date, though they are up 93% over the past 52 weeks.

The Puerto Rico-based company, which serves both government and commercial robotic operations, late Thursday guided for fourth-quarter revenue of $20 million to $23 million, compared with analyst expectations for $46.5 million, according to FactSet.

For the year, revenue is expected to come in between $34.5 million and $37.5 million. Analysts were looking for $64.8 million.

Chief Executive Jeff Thompson said the company is benefiting from the expansion of its contract with the U.S. Army as it expands its drone-manufacturing facilities to meet demand.

For its three months ended Sept. 30, Red Cat posted a loss of $16 million, compared with a loss of $12.4 million a year earlier. A quarterly loss of 16 cents a share was steeper than the 9-cent loss that analysts expected.

Total operating expenses more than doubled to $18.2 million from $8 million.

Revenue surged more than seven-fold to $9.65 million and topped the $8.5 million that Wall Street modeled.
