His new package sets an annual base salary of $650,000 and an annual performance‑based bonus opportunity of up to 100% of base salary, tying a significant portion of his cash compensation to meeting committee‑defined objectives.

In addition, Jeldi will receive an annual stock option grant equal to 2–3% of Velo3D’s outstanding common shares at the time of each grant, with vesting linked to ambitious enterprise valuation milestones of $1 billion, $3 billion, $5 billion, and $10 billion. This structure further aligns the CEO’s long‑term incentives with substantial company value creation, signaling the board’s emphasis on aggressive growth and shareholder returns.

Spark’s Take on VELO Stock

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

The score is held down primarily by very weak financial performance (sharp revenue decline, negative margins, and negative operating/free cash flow). Technicals are mixed but somewhat improved versus longer-term averages, while corporate events provide a moderate offset via new financing and a sizable defense-related contract. Valuation remains challenging to interpret due to losses and no dividend.
