Sono-Tek Corporation Reports Strong Q1 FY 2026 Results

Sono-Tek Corporation ( (SOTK) ) has released its Q1 earnings. Here is a breakdown of the information Sono-Tek Corporation presented to its investors.

Sono-Tek Corporation is a global leader in the design and manufacture of ultrasonic coating systems, serving industries such as microelectronics, alternative energy, and medical devices with innovative thin film application technologies.

In its first quarter of fiscal year 2026, Sono-Tek reported a strong financial performance, marking its fifth consecutive quarter with revenues exceeding $5 million. The company achieved a gross margin expansion to 52% and a significant increase in operating income, driven by a high average selling price order in the advanced solar market.

Key financial metrics for the quarter include net sales of $5.13 million, a 2% increase from the previous year, and a 103% rise in operating income to $483,000. The company’s net income also grew by 47% to $485,000. The growth was primarily fueled by shipments to the alternative/clean energy market, particularly in the U.S. and Canada, where sales increased by 15% year-over-year.

Despite the positive start to the fiscal year, Sono-Tek maintains a cautious full-year outlook due to potential impacts from recent policy shifts in clean energy incentives and tariffs. However, the company remains optimistic about continued revenue growth and profitability in the first half of the fiscal year, supported by a strong backlog and demand in key markets such as medical devices.

Looking ahead, Sono-Tek is focused on executing its growth strategies, leveraging its strong balance sheet and market position to navigate potential demand shifts. The company aims to maintain its trajectory of revenue growth and profitability, while adapting to evolving market conditions.
