Clearfield reports Q4 EPS 13 vs. (1c) last year

Reports Q4 revenue $41.1M, consensus $49.55M. “We continue to execute on our Better Broadband and Beyond strategy by focusing on our three core pillars: protecting our core Community Broadband business, leveraging our market position into new applications, and utilizing our core competencies to expand into adjacent markets,” said CEO Cheri Beranek. “As part of this strategy, we made the decision to divest our European Nestor Cables business. We made this technology acquisition in 2022 to establish North American cable manufacturing capabilities. Our goals of streamlining the manufacturing of cable and termination of cable assemblies in the same plant for ease of delivery and reduced cost have been met. We also are fully BABA and Made in America compliant.The European part of this business didn’t meet our expectations and to improve the overall performance of the Company, we made the decision to divest and focus our efforts on higher-return opportunities in our North American markets. To that end, we are investing in sales development and expanding our distribution channels while introducing new products that we believe will begin to contribute to sales growth in fiscal 2026.”
