Q3 FY2026 EarningsQ3 FY26 delivered a strong bottom-line beat despite revenue landing in-line with consensus. Revenue of $43.9M (-0.14% vs. consensus) was offset by a significant GAAP EPS of $0.22, exceeding the $0.1867 expected by 17.84%. Operating income (EBIT) beat expectations by 33.87% due to a $1.7M reduction in incentive compensation accruals, which successfully mitigated a 2.81pct gross margin miss caused by inventory write-downs. However, a 34% QoQ decline in order backlog to $21.0M signals a potential softening in near-term demand.
