Shares of laser company nLIGHT (NASDAQLASR) fell 17.1% in the afternoon session after the company reported underwhelming preliminary fourth quarter results, with sales expected to fall below the previous guidance range. Precisely, LASR expects Q4 2024 revenues of $46 million to $48 million (vs. previous estimates of $49 million to $54 million). The company blamed the weakness on "continued weakness in our industrial markets, execution challenges in our microfabrication business, and the timing of the delivery of a limited number of defense products." Consequently, profit indicators, including gross margin and adjusted EBITDA, are also expected to fall significantly below previous estimates. Overall, the results aren't encouraging and indicate challenging times ahead.
