nLIGHT shares came under pressure after the company issued cautious guidance for early 2026, signaling only moderate growth ahead. Investors appeared disappointed that the outlook did not point to a stronger acceleration in the core business.
The company now expects first‑quarter 2026 revenue between $70 million and $76 million, with gross margins of 27% to 32%. It is targeting adjusted EBITDA of $5 million to $10 million, suggesting limited near‑term profitability despite solid Laser Products sales.
