Welcome to Alpha and Omega's Fiscal 2026 Q4 Earnings Call. I will begin with a high-level overview of our results and then jump into segment details. We delivered fiscal Q4 revenue results above the midpoint of our guidance. Total June quarter revenue was $170.4 million, down 3.5% year-over-year and up 4% sequentially. Non-GAAP gross margin was 23.7%. Non-GAAP EPS was a loss of $0.13 per share. As anticipated, strength in Advanced Computing -- particularly AI and server applications -- and in the Communications segment offset softness in the traditional PC market, driven by higher memory costs, and in Gaming within the Consumer segment. Advanced Computing continues to be the strongest part of our business and provides clear evidence that our long-term strategy is delivering results. As our portfolio expands into higher performance applications, we are increasing content per platform, broadening customer adoption and strengthening our competitive position in AI infrastructure. To support this opportunity, we continue expanding our medium-voltage manufacturing capacity while increasing targeted R&D investments. With that, let me now cover our Q2 segment results and provide more details. Starting with Computing. June quarter revenue was down 8.6% year-over-year and up 5.6% sequentially and represented about 49.8% of total revenue. The segment results came in at the high end of our guidance for a low- to mid-single-digit sequential increase, driven by strength in Advanced Computing, which increased 35% sequentially and represented a record high 31% of the Computing segment in the June quarter. The strength in Advanced Computing was driven by AI, server, workstation, and cloud applications, while declines in PCs, tablets, and graphic cards offset and impacted the overall segment results. Demand for our medium-voltage MOSFET portfolio continues to expand across AI and cloud infrastructure with growing engagement from power supply providers, module makers, leading ODMs, cloud service providers, and hyperscale customers. Customer engagement and design activity continue to expand in these areas, and we expect these products to contribute more meaningfully during the second half of 2026 and into 2027. Looking ahead to the September quarter, we expect Advanced Computing revenue to grow by more than 40% sequentially, driven by continued strength across AI servers, graphics cards, and other high-performance computing platforms. Our AI and server business alone is expected to increase more than 60% sequentially and represent the majority of our Advanced Computing business. This growth is expected to more than offset the well-publicized weakness in traditional PC applications caused by memory chip constraints, resulting in flattish sequential growth for the overall Computing segment. More importantly, Advanced Computing is expected to exceed 40% of Computing segment revenue and approach 20% of total company revenue, another important step in shifting our product mix towards higher-value applications with richer product content and stronger profitability. Turning to the Consumer segment. June quarter revenue was down 21.3% year-over-year and up 8% sequentially and represented 12.3% of total revenue. The sequential results were better than our expectations for a relatively flattish quarter, with broad-based quarter-on-quarter growth across Gaming, Wearables, and Home Appliances. The year-over-year decline primarily reflects lower Gaming revenue as the current console product cycle nears maturity. For the September quarter, we expect Consumer segment revenue to decline approximately 25% sequentially, primarily reflecting lower revenue in Home Appliances, Wearables, and Gaming. Next, let's discuss the Communications segment. June quarter revenue was up 22.3% year-over-year and down 2.3% sequentially and represented 19.3% of total revenue. The results were in line with our expectations for a slight sequential decline, as seasonally lower battery PCM shipments ahead of new smartphone model transitions were largely offset by strong growth in DC-DC modules and networking applications. For the September quarter, we are ramping new products with our Tier 1 U.S. smartphone customer, and we continue to benefit from our strong position in premium smartphone platforms, where our differentiated battery protection solutions and support for higher charging currents are increasing BOM content and driving greater value per device. Outside of the premium tier, market conditions remain more challenging, as elevated memory pricing and supply constraints are pushing some OEMs toward lower performance components in certain platforms. We remain disciplined in managing our product mix, prioritizing higher performance sockets and premium smartphone platforms, where our technology and content opportunities are greatest. As a result, we expect Communications segment revenue to increase approximately 10% sequentially. Now let's talk about our last segment, Power Supply and Industrial, which accounted for 17.6% of total revenue and was up 1.4% year-over-year and up 5.2% sequentially. Overall, the results were in line with expectations for mid-single digit sequential growth, driven by sequential and year-over-year growth in E-Mobility as well as DC fans tied to AI server demand. This was partially offset by sequential and year-over-year declines in Quick Chargers and AC-DC power supplies. Looking ahead to the September quarter, we see stronger demand for Power Tools and continued momentum in DC fans supporting AI server rack applications. We also expect Quick Chargers and AC-DC power supplies to increase sequentially. While demand trends continue to vary across end markets, we remain encouraged by the expanding tangential opportunities in AI infrastructure and the improving demand environment across several industrial applications. Altogether, we expect Power Supply and Industrial revenue to increase nearly 30% sequentially. In closing, we are encouraged by the continued progress of our strategic transformation even as conditions remain uneven across several end markets. Advanced Computing is now a clear and growing contributor to both revenue and earnings, reinforcing the long-term direction of the business. That mix shift, combined with an improving pricing environment, is expected to support higher gross margins in the second half of calendar 2026, demonstrating the benefits of the strategic investments we have made over the past several years. Despite ongoing pressure on the broader PC and smartphone markets from elevated memory pricing and supply constraints, we believe our Computing and Communications businesses are outperforming their respective end markets, supported by our expanding Advanced Computing portfolio, total solution strategy, and disciplined focus on premium smartphone platforms with our Tier 1 U.S. customer. We are expanding manufacturing capacity in key product areas, increasing targeted R&D investments for next-generation AI infrastructure, and building a growing pipeline of new products across AI-related workloads. We believe this combination, a broader product portfolio, increasing content per platform, and continued investment in technology, positions AOS to deliver stronger, more profitable, and more sustainable long-term growth. I also want to address a recent event that is affecting our near-term outlook. A couple of days ago, Shanghai experienced Typhoon Dolphin and flooding that impacted portions of our packaging operations. We expect a slight impact to the September quarter. Our teams are moving quickly to restore effective capacity, minimize customer disruption and position us to recover as much of the delayed business as possible in the coming quarters. With that, I will now turn the call over to Yifan, for a discussion of our fiscal fourth quarter financial results and our outlook for the next quarter. Yifan? Yifan Liang: Thank you, Stephen. Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for joining us. Revenue for the June quarter was $170.4 million, up 4% sequentially and down 3.5% year-over-year. In terms of product mix, DMOS revenue was $113.2 million, down 1.6% sequentially and up 5.6% over last year. Power IC revenue was $55.5 million, up 18.2% from the prior quarter and down 19.3% from a year ago. Assembly service and other revenue was $1.7 million, as compared to $1.9 million last quarter and $0.5 million for the same quarter last year. Non-GAAP gross margin was 23.7%, compared to 21.7% last quarter and 24.4% a year ago. The quarter-over-quarter increase was mainly impacted by better mix and higher utilization. Non-GAAP operating expenses were $45.3 million, compared to $44.3 million for the prior quarter and $40.9 million last year. The quarter-over-quarter increase was mainly due to higher R&D expenses. Non-GAAP quarterly EPS was $0.13 loss, compared to $0.28 loss per share last quarter and $0.02 earnings per share a year ago. Moving on to cash flow. Operating cash flow was negative $10 million compared to negative $8.3 million in the prior quarter and negative $2.8 million last year. EBITDA, excluding equity method investment income and loss was $10.1 million for the quarter, compared to $5.9 million last quarter and $10.5 million for the same quarter a year ago. Now let me turn to our balance sheet. We completed June quarter with a cash balance of $180.8 million compared to $190.3 million at the end of last quarter. During the quarter, we received the last $15 million installment payment and completed $150 million sale of our joint venture equity. Net trade receivables increased by $4.5 million sequentially. Days Sales Outstanding were 23 days for the quarter compared to 20 days for the prior quarter. Net inventory increased by $2.3 million quarter-over-quarter. Average days in inventory were 138 days for the quarter compared to 139 days for the prior quarter. CapEx for the quarter was $14.9 million compared to $12.1 million for the prior quarter. We expect CapEx for the September quarter to range from $15 million to $17 million. With that, now I would like to discuss September quarter guidance. We expect revenue to be approximately $176 million, plus or minus $10 million. GAAP gross margin to be 23.8%, plus or minus 1%. We anticipate non-GAAP gross margin to be 24.5%, plus or minus 1%. GAAP operating expenses to be $52.5 million, plus or minus $1 million. Non-GAAP operating expenses are expected to be $46.5 million, plus or minus $1 million. Interest income to be $0.6 million higher than interest expense, and income tax expense to be in the range of $1.1 million to $1.3 million. With that, we will now open the call for questions. Operator, please start the Q&A session. Operator: [Operator Instructions] Your first question is from the line of Tore Svanberg from Stifel. Tore Svanberg: First question, could you talk a little bit about some of the parameters around your gross margin? You are guiding it up sequentially. What's sort of the contribution there between utilization and pricing? And where is utilization right now? Yifan Liang: Sure. Yes, for the June quarter, yes, our margin improved from March quarter by 200 basis points. A little bit bigger portion was because of the product mix, and then a smaller portion was because of the utilization and operation expenses. For the September quarter, we guided another 70, 80 basis points up. So primarily, it was considering the product -- better product mix. So we also factor in some of the impact from this typhoon impact on our back-end factory. So the net-net, we guided 24.5%. Tore Svanberg: Okay. Very good. And maybe as a follow-up to Stephen, and maybe adding your comments about pricing, you said you expect pricing to be higher in second half of '26. I'm just curious if there's sort of a lag time on when that impacts the P&L. And then with Advanced Computing now being 20% of revenue or approaching that for the September quarter, how should we think about that segment into fiscal '27? I'm pretty sure you're now prioritizing that market as opposed to these other areas that are seeing weakness from high memory costs. Stephen Chang: Sure. Let me address that part of that, which is the mix portion. And we are happy to see the margin expand in this past quarter also going forward. And we do see that mix is becoming more beneficial, especially as we're seeing more successes, particularly in the Advanced Computing area, specifically in the AI and server applications. The products that we sell into these applications are high-performance products are -- especially our high-performance MOSFETs and medium-voltage, where there's less competition, it is performance-driven, and we're able to command better pricing and better margin because these applications are very performance-critical. So that is becoming a larger proportion, not only of our Computing segment, but the overall part of the company. So as we continue to put more resources into here and as we're following and taking part in this AI expansion in the industry, we see that as helpful and accretive to our margin. Operator: Your next question comes from the line of Tyler Burmeister from Lake Street Capital Markets. Tyler Burmeister: Maybe first, another on the Advanced Computing, obviously, very strong. It looks like faster than we were expecting. You highlighted continued customer traction. I guess I was wondering if you could maybe give some color on how much of the growth both in the June quarter and the September outlook is kind of customer traction, new program wins versus just ramps of previous sockets? Stephen Chang: I would say it's a little bit of both. The benefit -- one of the great things about going into this market now is that we are serving a more diversified customer base. So we are seeing going into programs that go into hyperscalers, that go into power supplies for data centers. It is being spread into more customers as well as various programs within those customers. So I would say it's a little bit of both as these products are ramping. Tyler Burmeister: Okay. I appreciate that color. And then maybe looking out to the future in 800 volt, I wonder if you could just give us any view on the timing of that? Do you think that could be a material revenue contributor in 2027? Is that more of a socket design win in '27 lead to more meaningful revenue in the '28 time frame? Any color there would be appreciated. Stephen Chang: Sure. And I think we're a little too early to forecast that at the moment. We do see that, yes, 800 volt is right around the corner. We are promoting our solutions for that. I wouldn't be surprised that if next year, we see some business come for those applications. But this won't be like a 0, 1, and 1 and 0 for the standard solutions, and these will be phased in alongside with the other programs. Right now, we are still serving -- everyone is still serving the standard 48-volt platforms. And those will still coexist for a while as well, too. So -- and we're also ready for this when 800-volt comes with our new solution. So I think it will be a transition time, but we will benefit from either packs. Tyler Burmeister: Understood. I appreciate that. And then maybe kind of a couple of housekeeping ones. The R&D investments, obviously proving to be successful here. You guided for them to step up in September. I'm wondering if that $46.5 million OpEx guide for Q1, is that the level we should think about going forward? Or is there the chance that could continue to take modest steps up as we continue to make investments? Yifan Liang: Yes. We have already been gearing up our hirings and investment in R&D area, primarily in the AI and total solution for PC and smartphone and in those areas. So yes, we guided about $1 million for the September quarter. I would say December going forward, we still have to fill positions we need to fill. So I would say probably some modest growth there. Tyler Burmeister: Appreciate that. And then last quick one for me. Are you able to quantify what the impact to the flooding is in your September guidance for us? Yifan Liang: Sure. I mean -- as we said, yes, it has some impact. Right now, this thing occurred only a couple of days ago. So our team are moving quickly to restore the capacities and then minimizing the impact to our customers. So our initial assessment right now is in the range of a few million dollars and some impact on our margins, also kind of reflected in our September quarter guidance. Operator: Your next question is from the line of Craig Ellis from B. Riley Securities. Craig Ellis: I wanted to follow-up on just the Compute segment activity. Beyond the Advanced Compute 31% mix in fiscal 4Q, can you help us understand what the other subsegments of the business did, notebook, gaming cards, et cetera? Stephen Chang: Sure. Let's talk about standard PCs first. Standard PCs, June quarter in general, did grow modestly from the March quarter. But we expect there, right, to be an adjustment happening in the September quarter, as our end customers are having difficulty in dealing with the memory shortage as well as the CPU shortage. So we see this September quarter as an adjustment period for the PC business. But then at the same time, again, the Advanced Computing helps to cover for that. The other subsegment that I can comment on is on the graphics portion. Graphics this year, they aren't releasing any major platforms this year. The last release was last year, where we benefited quite well. We expect the next platform release to be sometime next year, and that will be something that we also will prioritize in terms of growth for the next year. So in this calendar year, mainly the story is about PCs and dealing with the memory shortage. But then in the meantime, with our fueling the growth of our AI and server business. Craig Ellis: That's helpful, Stephen. And then broadening the aperture a bit to include the Communications business and thinking about that with Compute. Given some of the things that you said on the call about the impacts from pricing and part availability to build intensity in the fiscal first quarter, can you talk about typical fiscal 2Q seasonality in those end markets? And what are customers telling you to expect this year as we look beyond fiscal 1Q into 2Q? Stephen Chang: Sure. In the Communications segment, we're mainly talking about smartphone battery and protection business. And here, this segment is also not immune to the memory shortages. In general, we have always been focusing mainly on the premium part of the market. And that part of the market certainly is faring better than the low- to mid-end part of the market. Over here, we're selling our high-performance MOSFETs. And in the latest generation, we are seeing charging currents continue to increase. So that will offset some of the pressures that may come from the memory impact. But overall, we are still preparing for a growth season for our battery PCM business. And in terms of looking out further, I think the premium phones should do better. They're not immune to it. But at the same time, there's a little more ability to -- for consumers to bear some of the price increases there. So that's where we see the battery business. Craig Ellis: Okay. And then I wasn't clear what you were indicating about the PC business beyond the fiscal first quarter and into the second quarter, what are your customers indicating about build intensity there, Stephen? Stephen Chang: Yes. We mainly see September as the main correction. We're not right now -- December quarter is still a little fuzzy to see exactly, but we're not -- right now, we're not expecting a correction at that point. And -- but we have to just see what the memory situation is like. Craig Ellis: Okay. And then just a clarification on operating expense. So we knew that we were going to increase R&D expense this year for new product work in Advanced Compute. It seems like that's having a positive impact. Can you help us understand the longer-term thinking about how you're weighing increased R&D intensity in the business? Is this something that we should expect would persist in calendar '27? Or do you exit '26 with the product programs in the right place, so R&D expense would grow to a more normalized level beyond this year? Stephen Chang: Yes. For us, we are in this investment mode where we are investing in the R&D. Most of that spend -- increase in spending, we expect it to be done in this calendar year in terms of the additional investments to build up the teams and build up the technology capabilities to address these additional growth opportunities. So most of that expansion we expect to happen this year. I would expect next year will be more just kind of standard organic type of growth as opposed to a stepped-up growth this year. Operator: [Operator Instructions] Your next question comes from the line of Patrick Muth from David Williams (sic) [ Needham ]. Patrick Muth: This is Patrick Muth on for David Williams over at Needham. Just a couple of questions. So as AI becomes a bigger share of revenue, should we expect gross margins to improve mainly because of this mix shift? Or is there a ceiling to how much AI volume can offset any weakness elsewhere? And then maybe also provide more color on the magnitude of the gross margin improvement from the mix shift in the second half of the calendar year. Stephen Chang: Sure. This is an area that we've been excited to take part and to see our products being adopted into these high-performance applications. We are still in that ramping mode in terms of several of these products were released either late last calendar year or beginning of this calendar year. So the ramp that we saw was really starting just from this March quarter onwards. And we are continuing to design in our solutions and to win business. And so in general, we expect to see this segment continue to grow in the coming quarters and as we win more projects and as we open up into more customers. Yes, I'll stop there. Operator: We have reached the end of the Q&A session. I will now turn the call back to Steven Pelayo, for closing remarks. Steven C. Pelayo: Okay. Great. Before we conclude, I'd like to just highlight a few upcoming investor events. The management team will be participating in the 7th Annual Needham Virtual Semiconductor and SemiCap 1x1 Conference on August 20; also at the Jefferies Semi, IT Hardware & Communications Technology Summit on August 26 in Chicago, Illinois; and the Benchmark 2026 Tech, Media and Telecom Conference on September 10 in New York, New York.

Tap here. The 200 basis point improvement in the June quarter was primarily driven by a better product mix, with a smaller contribution from higher utilization. September quarter guidance assumes an additional 70-80 basis point increase, factoring in the typhoon's impact on back-end factory operations. Management noted that high-performance medium-voltage MOSFETs face less competition and command better pricing because they are performance-critical for AI applications. The shift toward these high-value applications is expected to be accretive to overall corporate margins as they become a larger portion of the revenue mix. Management believes it is too early to forecast specific 800-volt revenue but expects some business to materialize in 2027. Standard 48-volt platforms are expected to coexist with 800-volt solutions for a transition period rather than a sudden replacement. The current step-up in R&D spending is intended to build technology capabilities for AI opportunities and is expected to be largely completed within this calendar year. Spending in 2027 is expected to return to a more normalized, organic growth rate following the current investment phase.

Advanced computing revenue surged 35% sequentially, reaching a record 31% of the computing segment, driven by AI, server, and cloud applications. AI and server business is expected to grow over 60% sequentially in the September quarter, with advanced computing approaching 20% of total company revenue. Gross margin improved 200 basis points sequentially to 23.7%, with further improvement expected in the September quarter due to better product mix and pricing. Communications segment grew 22.3% year-over-year, supported by strong premium smartphone demand and increased content per device. Power supply and industrial segment grew 5.2% sequentially, with continued momentum in DC fans for AI server racks and improving demand in e-mobility and power tools. Total revenue declined 3.5% year-over-year, with weakness in traditional PC and gaming markets due to memory chip constraints. Consumer segment revenue is expected to decline approximately 25% sequentially in the September quarter, reflecting softness in home appliances, wearables, and gaming. Non-GAAP EPS was a loss of $0.13 per share, and operating cash flow remained negative at $10 million. The company faces near-term disruption from Typhoon Dolphin and flooding in Shanghai, impacting packaging operations and expected to reduce September quarter revenue by approximately $2 million. Elevated memory pricing and supply constraints are pushing some OEMs toward lower-performance components, pressuring the communications segment outside the premium tier. Q: Could you talk about the parameters around your gross margin guidance, including the contribution between utilization and pricing, and where utilization currently stands?A: Stephen Chang (CEO) explained that the June quarter margin improved by 200 basis points sequentially, with the larger portion driven by product mix and a smaller portion from utilization and operational expenses. For the September quarter, the company guided another 70-80 basis points improvement, primarily due to a better product mix, while also factoring in some impact from the Typhoon Dolphin flooding on the backend factory, resulting in a 24.5% non-GAAP gross margin guidance. Q: With advanced computing now approaching 20% of total revenue, how should we think about the segment's trajectory into fiscal '27, and is there a lag time on when improved pricing impacts the P&L?A: Stephen Chang (CEO) noted that the mix shift is becoming more beneficial, especially with successes in advanced computing, specifically AI and server applications. The products sold into these applications are high-performance medium-voltage MOSFETs where there is less competition and performance is critical, allowing the company to command better pricing and margins. As this segment becomes a larger proportion of the business, it is accretive to overall margins. Q: How much of the advanced computing growth in the June quarter and September outlook is from customer traction and new program wins versus ramps of previous sockets?A: Stephen Chang (CEO) stated that it is a little bit of both. The company is benefiting from serving a more diversified customer base, including hyperscalers and power supply providers for data centers. The growth is spread across more customers as well as various programs within those customers as these products ramp. Q: What is the timing for 800-volt solutions, and could they be a material revenue contributor in 2027 or more of a 2028 timeframe?A: Stephen Chang (CEO) indicated it is too early to forecast, but 800-volt is right around the corner. The company is promoting its solutions and wouldn't be surprised to see some business next year, though it will be phased in alongside existing 48-volt platforms. AOS is ready for the transition and will benefit from either path. Q: Is the $46.5 million OpEx guide for September the level to think about going forward, or could it continue to step up with investments?A: Stephen Chang (CEO) confirmed the company is gearing up hiring and investment in R&D, primarily in AI and power solutions for data centers and smartphones. The September quarter guide includes about a $1 million increase, and there are still a few positions to fill, so modest growth is expected going into the December quarter. Q: Can you quantify the impact of the Shanghai flooding on September guidance?A: Stephen Chang (CEO) stated the initial assessment is an impact in the range of $2 million, with some effect on margins. The team is moving quickly to restore capacity and minimize customer disruption, and this has been reflected in the September quarter guidance. Q: Beyond advanced computing, how did the other sub-segments of the computing business perform, such as notebooks and gaming cards?A: Stephen Chang (CEO) noted that standard PCs grew modestly in the June quarter from March, but an adjustment is expected in September as end customers deal with memory and CPU shortages. For graphics, no major platforms are being released this year; the last release was last year where the company benefited well. The next platform release is expected sometime next year, which will be prioritized for growth. Q: Given the impacts from pricing and part availability, what is typical fiscal 2Q seasonality for the communications and computing end markets, and what are customers indicating beyond fiscal 1Q?A: Stephen Chang (CEO) explained that the communications segment, mainly smartphone battery protection, is not as exposed to memory shortages. The company focuses on the premium market, which is faring better, and increasing charging currents are offsetting some pressures. For PCs, September is seen as the main correction, and the December quarter is still unclear, but no further correction is currently expected. Q: Should we expect R&D expense growth to persist into calendar '27, or will it normalize after this year's investment cycle?A: Stephen Chang (CEO) confirmed the company is in an investment mode, with most of the additional R&D spending expected to be completed this calendar year to build up teams and technology capabilities. Next year is expected to see more standard organic growth rather than the stepped-up growth seen this year. Q: As AI becomes a bigger share of revenue, should gross margins improve mainly due to mix shift, and is there a ceiling to how much AI volume can offset weakness elsewhere?A: Stephen Chang (CEO) expressed excitement about the company's products being adopted into high-performance applications. The company is still in a ramping mode, with several products released late last calendar year or early this year. The ramp started from the March quarter, and as the company wins more projects and opens up to more customers, the segment is expected to continue growing in the coming quarters.

All information provided in this press release is as of today’s date, unless otherwise stated, and AOS undertakes no duty to update such information, except as required under applicable law. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures To supplement our unaudited consolidated financial statements presented on a basis consistent with U.S. GAAP, we disclose certain non-GAAP financial measures for our historical performance, including non-GAAP gross profit, gross margin, operating expenses, operating income (loss), net income (loss), diluted earnings per share ("EPS") and EBITDAS. These supplemental measures exclude, among other items, share-based compensation expenses, legal and professional fees related to government investigation, amortization of purchased intangible, impairment of long-lived assets, income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments and equity method investment income (loss) from equity investee. We also disclose certain non-GAAP financial measures in our financial guidance for the next quarter, including non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP operating expenses. We believe that these historical and forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain items and expenses that are not indicative of our core operating results or do not reflect our normal business operations. In addition, our management uses non-GAAP measures to compare our performance relative to forecasts and to benchmark our performance externally against competitors. Our use of non-GAAP financial measures has certain limitations in that such non-GAAP financial measures may not be directly comparable to those reported by other companies. For example, the terms used in this press release, such as non-GAAP net income (loss) or non-GAAP operating expenses, do not have a standardized meaning. Other companies may use the same or similarly named measures, but exclude different items, which may not provide investors with a comparable view of our performance in relation to other companies. In addition, we included the amount of income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments in the non-GAAP net income (loss) reconciliation table for all periods presented as management believes that such non-GAAP presentation provides useful information to investors, even though the amounts are not significant. We seek to compensate for the limitation of our non-GAAP presentation by providing a detailed reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures both in the text in this press release and in the tables attached hereto. Investors are encouraged to review the related U.S. GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures.

Chang said customers are dealing with memory and CPU shortages, making the September quarter an adjustment period for the PC business. The company was not expecting another correction in the December quarter, though Chang said visibility remains unclear because of the memory market. Chang also said AI-related products carry stronger pricing and margins because they are high-performance, performance-critical products with less competition. The company is expanding medium-voltage manufacturing capacity and increasing research and development investment for next-generation AI infrastructure. The consumer segment accounted for 12.3% of revenue and rose 8% sequentially, though it was down 21.3% from the prior-year period. Broad-based quarterly growth in gaming, wearables and home appliances exceeded the company’s expectations for a relatively flat quarter. However, the year-over-year decline reflected lower gaming revenue as the current console cycle approaches maturity. For the September quarter, Alpha and Omega expects consumer revenue to decline about 25% sequentially, primarily due to lower sales in home appliances, wearables and gaming. Communications revenue accounted for 19.3% of total revenue, rising 22.3% year over year and declining 2.3% sequentially. Seasonally lower battery protection circuit module shipments ahead of smartphone model transitions were largely offset by growth in DC/DC modules and networking applications. The company expects communications revenue to increase approximately 10% sequentially in the September quarter as new products ramp with a Tier 1 U.S. smartphone customer. Chang said the company is prioritizing premium smartphone platforms, where battery-protection solutions supporting higher charging currents can increase content per device. He noted that lower-end smartphone markets remain more challenging amid elevated memory pricing and supply constraints. Power supply and industrial revenue, which represented 17.6% of total revenue, increased 5.2% sequentially and 1.4% year over year. Growth in e-mobility and DC fans tied to AI server demand was partly offset by declines in quick chargers and AC/DC power supplies. The company expects the segment to increase nearly 30% sequentially in the September quarter, supported by demand for power tools, DC fans for AI server racks, quick chargers and AC/DC power supplies. CFO Yifan Liang said the 200-basis-point sequential improvement in June-quarter non-GAAP gross margin was driven primarily by product mix, with utilization and operating factors providing a smaller contribution. The company expects non-GAAP gross margin of 24.5%, plus or minus 1 percentage point, in the September quarter, reflecting further mix improvement as well as an allowance for weather-related manufacturing disruption. Non-GAAP operating expenses were $45.3 million in the June quarter, up from $44.3 million in the March quarter, mainly because of higher R&D spending. The company expects non-GAAP operating expenses of $46.5 million, plus or minus $1 million, for the September quarter. Liang said additional hiring and investment are focused on AI and total-solution opportunities in PCs and smartphones, with some modest expense growth still possible after September. Chang said most of the planned step-up in R&D investment is expected to occur during calendar 2026, followed by more normal organic growth next year. Operating cash flow was negative $10 million, compared with negative $8.3 million in the prior quarter. The company ended the June quarter with $180.8 million in cash, down from $190.3 million at the end of the March quarter. During the quarter, it received the final $15 million installment payment related to, and completed, the $150 million sale of its joint-venture equity. For the September quarter, Alpha and Omega forecast revenue of approximately $176 million, plus or minus $10 million. It projected GAAP gross margin of 23.8%, plus or minus 1 percentage point, and non-GAAP gross margin of 24.5%, plus or minus 1 percentage point. Capital expenditures are expected to range from $15 million to $17 million. The outlook incorporates an estimated impact of a few million dollars in revenue and some margin pressure from Typhoon Dolphin and flooding in Shanghai that affected portions of the company’s packaging operations. Chang said the company expects a slight impact during the September quarter and is working to restore capacity, minimize customer disruption and recover delayed business in subsequent quarters.

Operator

I will now hand the call over to Steven Pelayo, investor relations. Please go ahead.

Steven Pelayo

Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome to Alpha and Omega Semiconductor's conference call to discuss fiscal 2026 fourth quarter financial results. I am Steven Pelayo, investor relations representative for AOS. With me today are Stephen Chang, our CEO, and Yifan Liang, our CFO. This call is being recorded and broadcast live over the web. A replay will be available for seven days following the call via the link in the investor relations section of our website. Our call will proceed as follows today. Stephen will begin business updates, including strategic highlights and a detailed segment report. After that, Yifan will review the financial results and provide guidance for the September quarter. Finally, we will have a Q&A session. The earnings release was distributed over the wire today, August 12, 2026, after the market closed. The release is also posted on the company's website.

Steven Pelayo

Our earnings release and this presentation include non-GAAP financial measures. We use non-GAAP measures because we believe they provide useful information about our operating performance that should be considered by investors in conjunction with the GAAP measures. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to comparable GAAP measures is included in the earnings release. We remind you that during this conference call, we will make certain forward-looking statements, including discussions of the business outlook and financial projections. These forward-looking statements are based on management's current expectations and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially. For a more detailed description of these risks and uncertainties, please refer to our recent and subsequent filings with the SEC. We assume no obligation to update the information provided in today's call. Now, I will turn the call over to our CEO, Stephen Chang. Stephen?

Stephen Chang

Thank you, Steven. Welcome to Alpha and Omega's fiscal 2026 Q4 earnings call. I will begin with a high-level overview of our results and then jump into segment details. We delivered fiscal Q4 revenue results above the midpoint of our guidance. Total June quarter revenue was $170.4 million, down 3.5% year-over-year and up 4% sequentially. Non-GAAP gross margin was 23.7%. Non-GAAP EPS was a loss of $0.13 per share. As anticipated, strength in advanced computing, particularly AI and server applications and in the communication segment, offset softness in the traditional PC market, driven by higher memory costs and in gaming within the consumer segment. Advanced computing continues to be the strongest part of our business and provides clear evidence that our long-term strategy is delivering results.

Stephen Chang

As our portfolio expands into higher performance applications, we are increasing content per platform, broadening customer adoption, and strengthening our competitive position in AI infrastructure. To support this opportunity, we continue expanding our medium-voltage manufacturing capacity while increasing targeted R&D investments. With that, let me now cover our Q2 segment results and provide more details. Starting with computing. June quarter revenue was down 8.6% year-over-year and up 5.6% sequentially and represented about 49.8% of total revenue. The segment results came in at the high end of our guidance for a low to mid-single digit sequential increase, driven by strength in advanced computing, which increased 35% sequentially and represented a record high 31% of the computing segment in the June quarter.

Stephen Chang

The strength in advanced computing was driven by AI, server, workstation, and cloud applications, while declines in PCs, tablets, and graphics cards offset and impacted the overall segment results. Demand for our medium-voltage MOSFET portfolio continues to expand across AI and cloud infrastructure, with growing engagement from power supply providers, module makers, leading ODMs, cloud service providers, and hyperscale customers. Customer engagement and design activity continue to expand in these areas, and we expect these products to contribute more meaningfully during the second half of 2026 and into 2027. Looking ahead to the September quarter, we expect advanced computing revenue to grow by more than 40% sequentially, driven by continued strength across AI servers, graphics cards, and other high-performance computing platforms. Our AI and server business alone is expected to increase more than 60% sequentially and represent the majority of our advanced computing business.

Stephen Chang

This growth is expected to more than offset the well-publicized weakness in traditional PC applications caused by memory chip constraints, resulting in flattish sequential growth for the overall computing segment. More importantly, advanced computing is expected to exceed 40% of computing segment revenue and approach 20% of total company revenue. Another important step in shifting our product mix towards higher value applications with richer product content and stronger profitability. Turning to the consumer segment, June quarter revenue was down 21.3% year-over-year and up 8% sequentially, and represented 12.3% of total revenue. The sequential results were better than our expectations for a relatively flattish quarter, with broad-based quarter-on-quarter growth across gaming, wearables, and home appliances. The year-over-year decline primarily reflects lower gaming revenue as the current console product cycle nears maturity.

Stephen Chang

For the September quarter, we expect consumer segment revenue to decline approximately 25% sequentially, primarily reflecting lower revenue in home appliances, wearables, and gaming. Next, let's discuss the communication segment. June quarter revenue was up 22.3% year-over-year and down 2.3% sequentially and represented 19.3% of total revenue. The results were in line with our expectations for a slight sequential decline as seasonally lower battery PCM shipments ahead of new smartphone model transitions were largely offset by strong growth in DC/DC modules and networking applications. For the September quarter, we are ramping new products with our Tier 1 U.S. smartphone customer, and we continue to benefit from our strong position in premium smartphone platforms, where our differentiated battery protection solutions and support for higher charging currents are increasing BOM content and driving greater value per device.

Stephen Chang

Outside of the premium tier, market conditions remain more challenging as elevated memory pricing and supply constraints are pushing some OEMs toward lower performance components in certain platforms. We remain disciplined in managing our product mix, prioritizing higher performance sockets and premium smartphone platforms where our technology and content opportunities are greatest. As a result, we expect communication segment revenue to increase approximately 10% sequentially. Now let's talk about our last segment, power supply and industrial, which accounted for 17.6% of total revenue and was up 1.4% year-over-year and up 5.2% sequentially. Overall, the results were in line with expectations for mid-single-digit sequential growth, driven by sequential and year-over-year growth in e-mobility, as well as DC fans tied to AI server demand. This was partially offset by sequential and year-over-year declines in quick chargers and AC/DC power supplies.

Stephen Chang

Looking ahead to the September quarter, we see stronger demand for power tools and continued momentum in DC fans supporting AI server rack applications. We also expect quick chargers and AC/DC power supplies to increase sequentially. While demand trends continue to vary across end markets, we remain encouraged by the expanding tangential opportunities in AI infrastructure and the improving demand environment across several industrial applications. Altogether, we expect power supply and industrial revenue to increase nearly 30% sequentially. In closing, we are encouraged by the continued progress of our strategic transformation, even as conditions remain uneven across several end markets. Advanced computing is now a clear and growing contributor to both revenue and earnings, reinforcing the long-term direction of the business.

Stephen Chang

That mix shift, combined with an improving pricing environment, is expected to support higher gross margins in the second half of calendar 2026, demonstrating the benefits of the strategic investments we have made over the past several years. Despite ongoing pressure on the broader PC and smartphone markets from elevated memory pricing and supply constraints, we believe our computing and communications businesses are outperforming their respective end markets, supported by our expanding advanced computing portfolio, total solution strategy, and disciplined focus on premium smartphone platforms with our Tier 1 U.S. customer. We are expanding manufacturing capacity in key product areas, increasing targeted R&D investments for next-generation AI infrastructure, and building a growing pipeline of new products across AI-related workloads. We believe this combination, a broader product portfolio, increasing content per platform, and continued investment in technology, positions AOS to deliver stronger, more profitable, and more sustainable long-term growth.

Stephen Chang

I also want to address a recent event that is affecting our near-term outlook. A couple days ago, Shanghai experienced Typhoon Dolphin and flooding that impacted portions of our packaging operations. We expect a slight impact to the September quarter. Our teams are moving quickly to restore affected capacity, minimize customer disruption, and position us to recover as much of the delayed business as possible in the coming quarters. With that, I will now turn the call over to Yifan for a discussion of our fiscal fourth quarter financial results and our outlook for the next quarter. Yifan?

Yifan Liang

Thank you, Stephen. Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for joining us. Revenue for the June quarter was $170.4 million, up 4% sequentially and down 3.5% year-over-year. In terms of product mix, DMOS revenue was $113.2 million, down 1.6% sequentially and up 5.6% over last year. Power IC revenue was $55.5 million, up 18.2% from the prior quarter and down 19.3% from a year ago. Assembly service and other revenue was $1.7 million as compared to $1.9 million last quarter and $0.5 million for the same quarter last year. Non-GAAP gross margin was 23.7%, compared to 21.7% last quarter and 24.4% a year ago. The quarter-over-quarter increase was mainly impacted by better mix and higher utilization. Non-GAAP operating expenses were $45.3 million, compared to $44.3 million for the prior quarter and $40.9 million last year. The quarter-over-quarter increase was mainly due to higher R&D expenses.

Yifan Liang

Non-GAAP quarterly EPS was $0.13 loss, compared to $0.28 loss per share last quarter and $0.02 earnings per share a year ago. Moving on to cash flow. Operating cash flow was -$10 million compared to -$8.3 million in the prior quarter, and -$2.8 million last year. EBITDA excluding equity method investment income and loss was $10.1 million for the quarter, compared to $5.9 million last quarter and $10.5 million for the same quarter a year ago. Now let me turn to our balance sheet. We completed June quarter with a cash balance of $180.8 million, compared to $190.3 million at the end of last quarter. During the quarter, we received the last $15 million installment payment and completed $150 million sale of our joint venture equity. Net trade receivables increased by $4.5 million sequentially.

Yifan Liang

Day sales outstanding were 23 days for the quarter, compared to 20 days for the prior quarter. Net inventory increased by $2.3 million quarter-over-quarter. Average days in inventory were 138 days for the quarter, compared to 139 days for the prior quarter. CapEx for the quarter was $14.9 million compared to $12.1 million for the prior quarter. We expect CapEx for the September quarter to range from $15 million-$17 million. With that, now I would like to discuss September quarter guidance. We expect revenue to be approximately $176 million ±$10 million. GAAP gross margin to be 23.8% ±1%. We anticipate the non-GAAP gross margin to be 24.5% ±1%. GAAP operating expenses to be $52.5 million ±$1 million. Non-GAAP operating expenses are expected to be $46.5 million ±$1 million.

Yifan Liang

Interest income to be $0.6 million higher than interest expense, and income tax expense to be in the range of $1.1 million-$1.3 million. With that, we will now open the call for questions. Operator, please start the Q&A session.

Operator

Thank you. We will now begin the question and answer session. If you would like to ask a question, please press star one to raise your hand. To withdraw your question, press star one again. We ask that you pick up your handset when asking a question to allow for optimal sound quality. If you are muted locally, please remember to unmute your device. Please stand by while we compile the Q&A roster. Your first question is from the line of Tore Svanberg from Stifel. Your line is now open. Please go ahead.

Tore Svanberg

Yes, thank you. For my first question, could you talk a little bit about some of the parameters around your gross margin? You are guiding it up sequentially. What is sort of the contribution there between utilization and pricing, and where is utilization right now? Thank you.

Yifan Liang

Sure. Yes, for the June quarter, our margin improved from March quarter by 200 basis points. A little bit bigger portion was because of the product mix, and then to a smaller portion was because of the utilization and the operation expenses. For the September quarter, we guided another 70, 80 basis point up. Primarily it was considering the better product mix. We also factor in some of the impact from this Typhoon Dolphin impact on our back-end factory. The net, and we guided 24.5%.

Tore Svanberg

Okay, very good. Maybe as a follow-up to Stephen and maybe adding your comment about pricing, you said you expect pricing to be higher in second half of 2026. I am just curious, if there is sort of a lag time on when that impacts the P&L, and then with advanced computing now being 20% of revenue or approaching that for the September quarter, how should we think about that segment into fiscal 2027? I am pretty sure you are now prioritizing that market as opposed to these other areas that are seeing weakness from high memory costs. Thank you.

Stephen Chang

Sure. Let me address that part of that, which is the mix portion, and we are happy to see the margin expand in this past quarter, also going forward. We do see that a big mix is becoming more beneficial, especially as we're seeing more successes, particularly in the advanced computing area, specifically in the AI and server applications. The products that we sell into these applications are high-performance products, especially our high-performance MOSFETs and medium voltage, where there's less competition, it is performance driven, and we're able to command better pricing and better margin because these applications are very performance critical. That is becoming a larger proportion, not only of our computing segment, but the overall part of the company.

Stephen Chang

As we continue to put more resources into here, and as we're following and taking part in this AI expansion in the industry, we see that as helpful and accretive to our margin.

Tore Svanberg

Thank you.

Operator

Your next question comes from the line of Tyler Burmeister from Lake Street Capital Markets. Your line is now open. Please go ahead.

Tyler Burmeister

Hey, guys. Thanks for letting me take a few questions here. Maybe first, another on the advanced computing, obviously very strong. Looks like faster than we were expecting. You highlighted continued customer traction. I was wondering if you could maybe give some color on how much of the growth, both in the June quarter and the September outlook, is customer traction, new program wins, versus just ramps of previous sockets.

Stephen Chang

I would say it's a little bit of both. One of the great things about going into this market now is that we are serving a more diversified customer base. We are seeing, going into programs that go into hyperscalers, that go into power supplies for data centers, it is being spread into more customers as well as various programs within those customers. I would say it's a little bit of both as these products are ramping.

Tyler Burmeister

Okay. I appreciate that color. Then maybe looking out to the future in 800 V, I wonder if you could just give us any view on the timing of that. Do you think that could be a material revenue contributor in 2027? Is that more of a socket win, design win in 2027 lead to more meaningful revenue in a 2028 timeframe? Any color there would be appreciated.

Stephen Chang

Sure. I think we're a little too early to forecast that at the moment. We do see that, yes, 800 V is right around the corner. We are promoting our solutions for that. I wouldn't be surprised at that if next year we see some business come for those applications. This won't be like a zero one and one and zero for the standard solutions, and these will be phased in alongside with the other programs. Right now we are still serving, everyone's still serving the standard 48 V platforms. Those will still coexist for a while as well, too. We're also ready for this, when 800 V comes with our new solution. I think it'll be a transition time, but we will benefit from either path.

Tyler Burmeister

Understood. Appreciate that. And then maybe a couple housekeeping ones. The R&D investments, obviously proving to be successful here. Guided for them to step up in September. I am wondering if that $46.5 million OpEx guide for Q1, is that the level we should think about going forward, or is there the chance that that could continue to take modest steps up as we continue to make investments?

Yifan Liang

Yeah. We have been already been gearing up our hirings and investment in R&D area. Primarily in the AI and total solution for PC and smartphone and in those areas. Yes, we guided about a million dollars up for the September quarter. I would say, yeah, December going forward, we still have a few positions we need to fill, so I would say probably some modest growth there.

Tyler Burmeister

Appreciate that. And then last quick one from me. Are you able to quantify what the impact to the Shanghai flooding is in your September guidance for us?

Yifan Liang

Sure. As we said, it has some impact. Right now, this thing occurred only a couple of days ago, so our team are moving quickly to restore the capacities and minimizing the impact to our customers. Our initial assessment right now is in the range of a few million dollars, and some impact on our margins. We also reflected in our September quarter guidance.

Tyler Burmeister

Perfect. I appreciate that. All right, guys, that's all from me. Thanks.

Stephen Chang

Thank you.

Operator

Your next question is from the line of Craig Ellis from B. Riley Securities. Your line is now open. Please go ahead.

Craig Ellis

Yeah. Thanks for taking the question, guys. Wanted to follow up on just the compute segment activity. Beyond the advanced compute's 31% mix in fiscal 4Q, can you help us understand what the other sub-segments of the business did? Notebooks, gaming cards, et cetera.

Stephen Chang

Sure. Let's talk about standard PCs first. Standard PCs June quarter, in general, did grow modestly from the March quarter. We expect there to be an adjustment happening in the September quarter as our end customers are having difficulty in dealing with the memory shortage as well as the CPU shortage. We see this September quarter as an adjustment period for the PC business. At the same time, again, advanced computing helps to cover for that. The other sub-segment I can comment on is on the graphics portion. Graphics this year, they are not releasing any major platforms this year. The last release was last year, where we benefited quite well. We expect the next platform release to be sometime next year, and that will be something that we also will prioritize in terms of growth for next year.

Stephen Chang

In this calendar year, mainly the story is about PCs and dealing with the memory shortage, but then in the meantime, with our fielding the growth of our AI and server business.

Craig Ellis

That is helpful, Stephen. Thank you. Broadening the aperture a bit to include the communications business and thinking about that with compute, given some of the things that you have said on the call about the impacts from pricing and part availability to build intensity in the fiscal first quarter, can you talk about typical fiscal 2Q seasonality in those end markets? What are customers telling you to expect this year as we look beyond fiscal 1Q into 2Q?

Stephen Chang

Sure. In the communications segment, we are mainly talking about smartphone battery protection business. In here, this segment is also not immune to the memory shortages. In general, we have always been focusing mainly on the premium part of the market, and that part of the market certainly is faring better than the low to mid-end part of the market. Over here, we are selling our high-performance MOSFETs, and in the latest generation, we are seeing charging currents continue to increase.

Stephen Chang

That will offset some of the pressures that may come from the memory impact. Overall, we are still preparing for a growth season for our battery PCM business, and in terms of looking out further, I think the premium phones should do better. They are not immune to it, but at the same time, there is a little more ability for consumers to bear some of the price increases there.

Stephen Chang

That's where we see the battery business.

Craig Ellis

Okay, then I wasn't clear what you were indicating about the PC business beyond the fiscal first quarter and into the second quarter. What are your customers indicating about build intensity there, Stephen?

Stephen Chang

Yeah. We mainly see September as the main correction. December quarter is still a little fuzzy to see exactly, but right now we're not expecting a correction at that point. We have to just see what the memory situation is like.

Craig Ellis

Okay. Then just a clarification on operating expense. We knew that we were going to increase R&D expense this year for new product work in advanced compute. It seems like that's having a positive impact. Can you help us understand the longer-term thinking about how you're weighing increased R&D intensity in the business? Is this something that we should expect would persist in calendar 2027, or do you exit 2026 with the product programs in the right place so R&D expense would grow to more normalized levels beyond this year? Thank you.

Stephen Chang

Yeah. For us, we are in this investment mode where we are investing in the R&D. Most of that spend, increase in spending, we expect it to be done in this calendar year in terms of the additional investments to build up the teams and build up the technology capabilities to address these additional growth opportunities. So most of that expansion we expect to happen this year. I would expect next year will be more just kind of standard, organic type of growth as opposed to a stepped-up growth this year.

Craig Ellis

Got it. Thank you, Stephen.

Stephen Chang

Sure.

Operator

As a reminder, if you have any follow-up questions, please press star one to add yourself to the queue. Your next question comes from the line of Patrick Muth from David Williams. Your line is now open. Please go ahead.

Patrick Muth

Hi. Thank you for taking my question. This is Patrick Muth on for David Williams over at Needham. Just a couple questions. As AI becomes a bigger share of revenue, should we expect gross margins to improve mainly because of this mix shift, or is there a ceiling to how much AI volume can offset any weakness elsewhere? Then maybe also provide more color on the magnitude of the gross margin improvement from the mix shift in the second half of the calendar year. Thank you.

Stephen Chang

Sure. This is an area that we've been excited to take part and to see our products being adopted into these high-performance applications. We are still in that ramping mode in terms of several of these products were released in either late last calendar year or beginning of this calendar year. The ramp that we saw, it was really starting just from this March quarter onwards. We are continuing to design in our solutions and to win business. In general, we expect to see this segment continue to grow in the coming quarters, and as we win more projects and as we open up into more customers. Yes, I'll stop there.

Operator

We have reached the end of the Q&A session. I will now turn the call back to Steven Pelayo for closing remarks.

Steven Pelayo

Okay, great. Before we conclude, I'd like to just highlight a few upcoming investor events. The management team will be participating in the 7th Annual Needham Virtual Semiconductor & SemiCap 1x1 Conference on August 20. Also be at the Jefferies Semi, IT Hardware & Communications Technology Summit August 26th in Chicago, Illinois, and The Benchmark Company 2026 Tech, Media, and Telecom Conference on September 10th in New York, New York. If you wish to request a meeting, please contact your institutional sales representative at the sponsoring bank. This concludes our earnings call today. Thank you for your interest in AOS, and we look forward to speaking with you again next quarter. Take care.

Stephen Chang

Thank you.

Yifan Liang

Thank you.

nLight (LASR) Q2 Earnings and Revenues Surpass Estimates

Zacks
nLight (LASR) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.15 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.14 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.06 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items. This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +7.14%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this laser maker would post earnings of $0.08 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.2, delivering a surprise of +150%. Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates four times. nLight, which belongs to the Zacks Electronics - Semiconductors industry, posted revenues of $82.59 million for the quarter ended June 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 5.19%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $61.74 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates four times over the last four quarters. The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call. nLight shares have added about 100.6% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 12.8%. While nLight has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock? There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately. Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions. Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for nLight was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here. It w…Read full document
