Mixed Impact 3 of 5 earnings Written later

nLIGHT reported third quarter 2026 revenue of $73.8 million, up 10.5% from a year earlier, with gross margin of 33.1% versus 31.1%, while its GAAP net loss widened to $7.2 million from $6.9 million. For the fourth quarter, it guided to revenue of $84 million to $90 million, but that range excludes about $15 million of product revenue now expected to ship in the first half of 2027 because of supply chain constraints.
