Velan Inc. SV ( (TSE:VLN) ) has provided an announcement.

Velan Inc. reported a solid third quarter for fiscal 2026, with sales holding steady at $71.7 million and gross margins near 38%, while turning around last year’s heavy loss into a net profit of $3.0 million from continuing operations and maintaining a net cash position of $20.2 million with about $86 million in available liquidity. Strong bookings of $77.9 million lifted the order backlog to $296.8 million, aided by a major nuclear contract in Canada, and management said the proposed transfer of the Velan family’s majority stake to Birch Hill Equity Partners should support faster execution of its growth strategy, even as higher work-in-process inventory temporarily increases working capital needs.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:VLN) stock is a Hold with a C$19.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Velan Inc. SV stock, see the TSE:VLN Stock Forecast page.
