nLIGHT reported a non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.15 on revenue of $82.6 million for Q2, beating consensus estimates. The stock fell about 15% after hours after management disclosed supply delays in China of roughly $17 million and issued a much weaker Q3 outlook (revenue $63–73 million, adjusted EBITDA $1–7 million, gross margin 24–30%). The company continues to highlight strong growth in its aerospace and defense segment and expects the JLWS contract to drive increased revenue going forward. » Mais em de.investing.com
