Optex Systems Holdings, Inc. price-consensus-eps-surprise-chart | Optex Systems Holdings, Inc. Quote The company attributed the softer first-half revenue performance to the federal government shutdown and delayed approval of the fiscal 2026 appropriations bill, which postponed several contract awards into the second half of the fiscal year. Management indicated that these delays affected order timing rather than underlying demand. Even with lower sales, Optex improved profitability at the gross margin level. The company said that the margin expansion reflected the completion of legacy loss-making contracts, improved pricing on newer programs and operational efficiencies across both operating segments. The quarterly cost of sales fell to $6.2 million from $7.4 million a year ago, helping offset the decline in revenues. General and administrative expenses rose sharply during the quarter to $1.7 million from $1.1 million in the year-ago period. Optex said that the increase was driven primarily by leadership transition costs, higher stock compensation expense, increased research and development spending and investments tied to Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification compliance and internal systems upgrades. CEO Chad George said that the company remains positioned to deliver one of its strongest revenue years while continuing to improve gross margins through operational efficiencies and disciplined cost management. He added that increased investment in research and development is intended to supp...

Shares of Optex Systems Holdings (NASDAQ:OPXS) moved higher in pre-market trading on Tuesday after the defense optics manufacturer reported second-quarter fiscal 2026 earnings that came in ahead of analyst forecasts. The stock gained 4.6% following the release of the results. Adjusted earnings per share reached $0.19, surpassing market expectations, while quarterly revenue totaled $9.6 million. Revenue missed analyst estimates and declined 10.3% from the $10.7 million reported in the same quarter last year. Optex reported a notable improvement in profitability, with gross margin rising to 35.2% from 31.3% a year earlier. The company said the margin expansion was driven by the completion of older low-margin contracts, stronger pricing on newer programs and continued operational efficiency improvements. For the full fiscal 2026 year, Optex expects revenue to range between $43 million and $45 million. The midpoint of the guidance, $44 million, would represent growth compared with fiscal 2025 revenue of $41.3 million. The company also forecast full-year adjusted EBITDA between $7.5 million and $8.5 million, versus $8.0 million recorded in fiscal 2025. “Optex remains on track to deliver one of the strongest revenue years in the Company’s history, while continuing to improve gross margins through operational efficiencies and disciplined cost management,” said Chad George, CEO of Optex Systems Holdings, Inc. Net income for the quarter came in at $1.3 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, compared with $1.6 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, in the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA declined to $2.0 million from $2.4 million a year earlier, while revenue for the first six months of the fiscal year totaled $18.8 million, broadly unchanged from the previous year. The company said first-half revenue was negatively impacted by the federal government shutdown and delays tied to approval of the fiscal 2026 appropriations bill, which pushed several contract awards into the second half of the year. New orders for the first six months increased 3.8% year-on-year to $16.3 million, while working capital rose to $22.6 million. Optex ended the quarter with $4.2 million in cash and no outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility. Optex Systems Holdings stock price

Shares of Optex Systems Holdings, Inc. OPXS have declined 2.9% since the company reported results for the quarter ended Dec. 28, 2025, underperforming the S&P 500 index, which fell 1.6% over the same period. Over the past month, however, the stock has edged down 0.9%, outperforming the broader market’s 1.9% decline. For the fiscal first quarter of 2026, Optex Systems reported net income of 3 cents per share compared with 12 cents per share in the prior-year quarter. Revenues rose 11.6% year over year to $9.1 million from $8.2 million. The increase was driven primarily by higher production levels and deliveries at the Optex Richardson segment, partially offset by lower sales at the Applied Optics Center. Despite the revenue growth, profitability weakened. Gross profit slipped 1.5% to $2.1 million, and gross margin contracted to 22.9% from 26% a year earlier. Operating income declined sharply to $0.1 million from $0.9 million, while net income fell 71.3% to $0.2 million. Adjusted EBITDA decreased 36% to $0.7 million from $1.1 million. Optex Systems Holdings, Inc. price-consensus-eps-surprise-chart | Optex Systems Holdings, Inc. Quote Optex Richardson posted a 55.9% increase in revenue, or $1.9 million, reflecting increased periscope production, XM30 display periscope assemblies and higher demand for muzzle reference systems and binoculars. In contrast, the Applied Optics Center saw revenue decline 20.1%, or $1 million, due primarily to lower customer demand for laser filters and optical assemblies. Order activity improved during the quarter. The company booked $7.9 million in new orders, up 31.7% from $6 million in the year-ago period. Of the total, $3.8 million was attributable to Optex Richardson and $4.1 million to the Applied Optics Center. Subsequent to quarter-end, the Applied Optics Center received a $2.2 million order for laser interface filters, with deliveries scheduled to begin in the third fiscal quarter of 2026 and extend into the second quarter of fiscal 2027. Management cited a combination of legacy contract dynamics and input cost pressures as key factors affecting margins. Gross margin compression was attributed in part to shipments under long-term loss contracts and increased cost of sales at the Applied Optics Center related to contract loss reserves tied to higher gold usage and pricing. The consolidated gross margin declined from 26% to 22...

Q1 revenue rose to $9.1 million (up 11.6% YoY) but profitability was pressured—gross margin fell to 22.9%, operating income was $0.1 million and adjusted EBITDA $0.7 million, with management saying this quarter is the lowest-profit period of the year. Optex-Richardson drove growth (revenue +55.9%, orders +46.2%) on periscope and the XM30 program while AOC revenue declined 20.1%; new orders were $7.9 million (up 31.7% YoY), backlog was $37.9 million, and the company announced a post-quarter $2.2 million optical assembly award. The board approved a new stock buyback program authorizing up to $10 million, and management plans roughly $2.4 million of fiscal-2026 capital investments to expand capacity and new-product development while forecasting net income and positive operating cash flow over the next nine months. Interested in Optex Systems Holdings Inc.? Here are five stocks we like better. Optex Systems (NASDAQ:OPXS) reported first-quarter fiscal 2026 results marked by higher revenue and order growth, alongside margin pressure tied to legacy programs and higher costs. Management also disclosed a new stock repurchase authorization and outlined continued capital spending plans aimed at expanding capacity and supporting new product development. For the three-month period ended Dec. 28, 2025, Optex Systems posted revenue of $9.1 million, up 11.6% year over year. Gross profit was $2.1 million, and gross margin declined to 22.9%. → Once Upon A Farm: Buy the $1B Growth Story? Chief Financial Officer Karen Hawkins said margin performance varied by segment. Optex-Richardson margins improved as legacy programs continued to phase out and higher-margin contracts ramped up, while Applied Optics Center (AOC) margins were pressured by higher material costs on the Day Window program. General and administrative expenses increased to $1.9 million, which Hawkins attributed primarily to higher labor costs, stock compensation, and professional services. She said about $0.3 million of the increase was related to leadership transition and temporary overlap of senior roles, and management does not expect those elevated transition-related costs to continue beyond the first quarter. → Verizon: Your Total Return Leader for 2026 Might Be Hiding in Plain Sight Operating income was $0.1 million compared with $0.9 million in the prior-year period.

Net income applicable to common shareholders grew 36.6% year over year, reaching $5.1 million, up from $3.8 million in fiscal 2024. Optex Systems Holdings, Inc. price-consensus-eps-surprise-chart | Optex Systems Holdings, Inc. Quote The company's adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP metric, increased 40.1% to $8 million from $5.7 million in the prior year. This improvement was primarily attributed to higher revenues and gross profits. Operating cash flow was strong at $6.9 million, driven by higher net income and non-cash adjustments. Optex Systems' order intake during the year was slightly down at $36.2 million, a 0.5% decline compared to $36.4 million in the previous fiscal period. Management cited delays in the award of key defense contracts — specifically the ARC III Abrams replenishment and BNVG Night Vision Goggle programs — as contributing factors. These delays, alongside the U.S. federal government shutdown from Oct. 1 to Nov. 12, 2025, and subsequent continuing resolution (CR) through Jan. 30, 2026, caused a slowdown in new contract awards. The company's working capital improved significantly to $21.1 million as of the fiscal year-end, up from $15.1 million the previous year. Cash and cash equivalents grew to $6.4 million, while the company cleared its outstanding balance on a $3 million revolving credit line, showing a stronger liquidity position.
