Q2 2026 earnings: revenue growth, weaker profitability • 2026-08-25

Base target: $2 / p=50% prob

Biggest risk

The print was mixed rather than a clean beat: margins, operating income, net income, and EBITDA all declined year over year, while cash fell materially from year-end. No reliable analyst target changes, estimate revisions, or consensus surprise data were available.

Invalidation

Break below $1 or thesis failure.

What would change my mind?

The Q2 release supports a cautious improvement case: revenue returned to growth, LiDAR was described as a material growth driver, Blickfeld reached profitable EBITDA, and management expects delayed projects to resume in H2 2026. [#SEC-6K-2026-08-25]

Commentary

The primary company release is moderately constructive on revenue, LiDAR, Blickfeld integration, and H2 demand, but the earnings quality is mixed because profitability and margins weakened. The $1.80 anchor is from August 24; a reliable post-release price reaction, analyst revisions, and consensus surprise comparison were unavailable. Social and options coverage were also unavailable.
