On October 20, 2026, Alpha Teknova agreed to sell 8,000,000 common shares at $5.00 each, for expected gross proceeds of $40 million, and granted underwriters an option to buy 1,200,000 more shares. The company also disclosed preliminary third-quarter 2026 estimates showing revenue of $12.5 million to $12.7 million, an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $1.0 million to $1.2 million, and $16.6 million in cash and short-term investments, while noting the figures are unaudited and may change materially. The new shares will increase the number of shares outstanding for existing holders.
