NN Raises 2026 Guidance, Highlights Diversified Growth Drivers

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

NN ( (NNBR) ) just unveiled an announcement.

On May 11, 2026, NN, Inc. posted an updated investor presentation to its website ahead of participation in the ROTH virtual roadshow, outlining raised full-year 2026 guidance for net sales of $450–$470 million and adjusted EBITDA of $52–$62 million, driven by strong first-quarter performance and cost improvements. The company highlighted accelerating growth in electric grid and data center, defense and electronics, and a turnaround in medical, positioning these segments to offset softness in global auto markets and support record 2026 results and earlier achievement of long-term financial targets.

Management reported broad-based sales growth across key customers, strong new business wins concentrated in strategic markets, and a solid pipeline expanding wallet share and customer count, particularly in data centers. NN expects 2026 to deliver record performance in sales, EBITDA, adjusted EPS, and new wins, with continued diversification away from legacy auto exposure toward higher-growth grid, data center, defense, medical, and industrial end markets, reinforcing its cost-leadership and growth narrative for stakeholders.

The most recent analyst rating on (NNBR) stock is a Hold with a $3.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on NN stock, see the NNBR Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on NNBR Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, NNBR is a Neutral.

NNBR scores mid-range primarily because improved forward outlook and strong Q1 operational momentum (raised 2026 guidance, EBITDA growth, new-business wins) partially offset weak financial fundamentals (persistent net losses, thin margins, elevated leverage, and negative TTM free cash flow). Technicals are supportive but look overbought, and valuation is difficult to support given negative earnings and no dividend yield.
