NEW YORK, March 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

Why: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, announces that it is investigating potential securities claims on behalf of shareholders of Elauwit Connection, Inc. (NASDAQ: ELWT) resulting from allegations that Elauwit may have issued materially misleading business information to the investing public.

So What: If you purchased Elauwit securities you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement. The Rosen Law Firm is preparing a class action seeking recovery of investor losses.

What to do next: To join the prospective class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=55125 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.

What is this about: On February 27, 2026, during market hours, Elauwit filed a Current Report with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 8-K announcing non-reliance on “previously issued interim financial statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, filed on December 10, 2025.” The report stated that the “an error specific to network construction project revenue recognition during the first nine months of 2025,” and the “restatement originates from work done by a third-party national accounting firm hired by the Company to assist in its accounting work prior to and immediately following its initial public offering; it did not involve any intentional misconduct with respect to the Company, its management or employees.”

On this news, Elauwit’s stock price fell $0.52 per share, or 6.8%, to close at $7.12 per share on March 2, 2026.

Why Rosen Law: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm achieved, at that time, the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

Key Takeaways Elon Musk's SpaceX could be set to make its market debut soon, with some reports suggesting its prospectus could file any day now.Tesla investors could reportedly get preferential access to shares of SpaceX, which is backed by Tesla and could be set to merge with the company next year. There are a number of reasons why Tesla shareholders should care about SpaceX's highly anticipated initial public offering, which could be right around the corner.

For starters, their fortunes could be increasingly tied through Tesla's (TSLA) existing investments in the space startup. Tesla's $2 billion investment in xAI was converted to SpaceX shares, the company disclosed earlier this month, in the wake of SpaceX's acquisition of xAI.

Joint plans for a new chip factory have also deepened ties between Tesla and SpaceX, adding fuel to speculation they could be on the path toward a merger, after a series of recent consolidating moves by CEO Elon Musk. This year's merger between SpaceX and xAI came just months after xAI merged with X last year.

Why This Matters to Investors Elon Musk's Tesla and SpaceX are becoming increasingly tied together through investments and shared resources.

Wedbush analysts led by Dan Ives said they believe Tesla could join with SpaceX as soon as next year, viewing their chip factory plans and Tesla's investments as laying the groundwork for a merger.

"Musk wants to own and control more of the AI ecosystem and step by step the holy grail could be combining SpaceX and Tesla in some way to give the connected tissue between both disruptive tech stalwarts," they wrote in Friday note.

In the near term, SpaceX's prospectus filing—which The Information reported could drop any day now—could reveal preferential access to the shares for Tesla shareholders. SpaceX and Tesla did not respond to an Investopedia request for comment in time for publication.

SpaceX, which is seen making its trading debut as soon as this June, is now expected to raise up to $75 billion, up from $50 billion previously. That could give it a $1.75 trillion valuation, according to Wedbush. (Tesla had a market capitalization of $1.35 trillion as of Friday afternoon.)

Space X logged about $8 billion in profits on $15 billion to $16 billion of revenue ​last year, Reuters reported, with its satellite-based internet system Starlink accounting for over half of its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA).

SAN FRANCISCO, March 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- National shareholder rights law firm Hagens Berman reminds investors in Corcept Therapeutics Incorporated (NASDAQ: CORT) that the deadline to move for Lead Plaintiff in the pending securities class action is April 21, 2026.

The firm urges Corcept investors who suffered significant losses to contact the firm now to discuss their rights.

The lawsuit, Allegheny County Employees' Retirement System v. Corcept Therapeutics Inc., et al., No. 26-cv-01525, was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The action seeks to recover losses for all persons and entities who purchased or otherwise acquired Corcept common stock between October 31, 2024, and December 30, 2025 (the "Class Period").

Investors in Corcept (CORT) are encouraged to visit the Hagens Berman’s CORT Case Page to review the allegations: www.hbsslaw.com/cases/corcept  

“The heart of the Corcept case is a classic ‘information gap’ between what the company told the public and what the FDA was reportedly telling the company behind closed doors,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the firm’s investigation.

Summary of the Allegations: The “Relacorilant” Disclosure Failure

The filed complaint in Allegheny County v. Corcept alleges that throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the company's lead drug candidate, relacorilant, by failing to disclose:

Concealed FDA Concerns: That during pre-submission meetings in 2024 and early 2025, the FDA warned Corcept on several occasions that its clinical data lacked sufficient evidence of effectiveness to support a New Drug Application (NDA).Misleading Narrative: That defendants continued to tout Phase 3 results, despite knowing the FDA viewed the data as fundamentally flawed.The CRL Bombshell: On December 31, 2025, Corcept revealed it had received a Complete Response Letter (CRL) from the FDA. The agency concluded it could not arrive at a favorable benefit-risk assessment for relacorilant due to an "insufficient" evidentiary record.50% Market Crash: Following this disclosure, Corcept’s stock price plummeted from $70.20 on December 30, 2025, to close at $34.80.06 on December 31, 2025—erasing nearly $2.5 billion in market capitalization in a single day. View our latest video summary of the allegations: youtube.com/watch?v=vMk3jcOV3Ng

Critical Deadline: April 21, 2026

If you purchased Corcept common stock during the Class Period, you have until April 21, 2026, to ask the Court to appoint you as Lead Plaintiff.

CNBC's MacKenzie Sigalos reports on Elon Musk considering reserving up to 30% of SpaceX's IPO for individual investors — a sharp break from the traditional Wall Street playbook as the company eyes a reported $75 billion raise at a $1.75 trillion valuation.

SummaryCompaniesCheniere Energy Corpus Christi Train 5 operating at full capacityTrain 5 to add 1.5 ​million metric tons of LNG per yearCorpus Christi feedgas intake ‌hit nearly 2.5 bcf on FridayHOUSTON, March 27 (Reuters) - Cheniere Energy’s (LNG.N), opens new tab Train 5 at its Corpus Christi liquefied natural gas expansion project is now operating ​at full capacity, the company said on Friday.

Train 5 ​is part of a seven‑train development expected to add 10 ⁠million metric tons per year of export capacity to the ​Corpus Christi LNG plant in Texas. The new unit will increase ​output by just under 1.5 million tons a year, according to company documents.

The Reuters Power Up newsletter provides everything you need to know about the global energy industry. Sign up here.

LNG trains are processing units that chill natural gas into a super-cooled liquid for ​export. Global LNG supply is currently hamstrung following Iran's attacks on ​facilities in Qatar, one of the world's largest producers of the fuel.

Cheniere said ‌contractor ⁠Bechtel handed over operations of Train 5 on Friday.

Feedgas flows to Corpus Christi reached near‑record levels on Friday, with the facility pulling in almost 2.5 billion cubic feet of gas, according to LSEG ​data.

CEO Jack Fusco ​told the CERAWeek ⁠energy conference on Wednesday that Cheniere plans to send more cargoes to Asia, which is facing shortages after ​the attacks that shut QatarEnergy’s LNG facilities.

QatarEnergy accounts for ​about ⁠20% of global LNG supply and has warned it could lose around 17% of its output for up to five years after its ⁠sites were ​struck by an Iranian missile.

Cheniere, the ​largest U.S. LNG exporter, said it is working to speed completion of the remaining ​two trains in the Corpus Christi expansion.

Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA | TSLA Price Prediction) stock is down 3% in Friday afternoon trading, with shares sliding from an opening price of $372.11 to around $361. The move extends a rough stretch for TSLA shares, which have now declined 20% year to date even as it holds onto a 32% gain over the past year.

Today’s pressure comes down to a familiar tension. Bulls are pointing to SpaceX IPO speculation and Cybercab momentum as reasons to stay patient. Bears, on the other hand, are pointing to the delivery numbers. Right now, the bears appear to be winning.

Delivery Fears Take Center Stage The immediate catalyst for Tesla stock is next week’s Q1 2026 delivery report, and expectations are low. RBC Capital projects Q1 2026 deliveries of 367,000 units, slightly below the Visible Alpha consensus of 370,000 units. That would mark another soft quarter following a year in which full-year 2025 deliveries fell 9% year over year, the first full-year decline in the Tesla’s history.

Analysts have already trimmed their full-year outlook in response. The 2026 delivery consensus for Tesla has been cut to 1.69 million units, down from 1.75 million, reflecting cautious demand sentiment. The most recent quarter reinforced those concerns: Tesla’s Q4 2025 deliveries came in at 418,227 units, down 16% year over year, and automotive revenue declining 11% year over year to $16.75 billion.

Prediction markets reflect the same skepticism. On Polymarket, the 350,000 to 375,000 delivery bracket carries a 62.5% implied probability, while the under-350,000 bracket sits at 29.5%. Combined, those two bearish brackets account for more than 90% of the market’s probability weight.

Macro and Regulatory Headwinds Add Pressure Tesla’s decline reflects broader market pressure. The NASDAQ 100 has dropped more than 10% from its record high. High-valuation growth stocks like Tesla tend to feel that macro drag most acutely, and with a price-to-earnings ratio of 333.5x, Tesla carries one of the steepest valuations in the market.

There’s also a regulatory headwind weighing on the robotaxi story. California’s Public Utilities Commission has stated that Tesla’s current ride-hailing service is not classified as an autonomous vehicle service in California, since its technology is considered SAE Level 2 and requires a safety driver.

That ruling chips away at the narrative that Tesla is already operating a true robotaxi network. Investors who are curious how Tesla’s EV peers have fared over a longer horizon can see how Lucid, NIO, and Rivian have performed over five years for added context.

SpaceX Buzz and Cybercab Hope Keep Bulls Engaged That said, the bull case is far from silent. SpaceX is reportedly preparing for an IPO at a valuation of approximately $1.75 trillion, and any formal announcement would likely lift sentiment across Elon Musk-linked assets. Morningstar notes the “Musk Effect” could produce stock swings of 20% to 30% in response to Musk-driven news, well above Tesla’s typical 10% to 15% range.

On the product side, Tesla’s Cybercab ambitions are gaining real-world credibility. Tesla ranked 17th on Fortune’s 2026 most innovative companies list, recognized specifically for product innovation ahead of the Cybercab launch. Cybercab volume production is scheduled to begin in H1 2026.

Moreover, Lemonade (NYSE:LMND) has partnered with Tesla for autonomous car insurance. This is a signal that the broader market is treating Tesla’s self-driving ambitions as increasingly credible.

Granted, the robotaxi expansion timeline remains ambitious. Robotaxi driverless testing commenced in Austin in December 2025, with safety monitor removal beginning in January 2026, and expansion to Dallas, Houston, Phoenix, Miami, Orlando, Tampa, and Las Vegas is planned for H1 2026. Whether those plans translate into delivery-level revenue in 2026 remains a central question for Tesla’s investors.

What to Watch The Q1 2026 delivery report, due by March 31, will be the next major inflection point. Polymarket’s daily direction market for March 27 assigns a 97.7% probability to Tesla finishing the day lower, suggesting traders see little chance of a late-session reversal.

For now, watch whether TSLA can hold the $360 level into the close. Plus, investors will want to see whether next week’s delivery print comes in above or below the 370,000-unit consensus estimate.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- National shareholder rights law firm Hagens Berman is alerting investors to an expanded securities class action filed against Kyndryl Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: KD). The new litigation expands the potential class of affected investors and introduces new allegations regarding the company’s free cash flow reporting.

REPORT YOUR KD INVESTMENT LOSSES TO HBSS.

The newly filed action, Westchester Putnam Counties Heavy & Highway Laborers Local 60 Benefit Funds v. Kyndryl Holdings, Inc., et al. (S.D.N.Y.), seeks to represent all persons and entities who purchased or otherwise acquired Kyndryl securities between August 1, 2024, and February 6, 2026, inclusive (the “Expanded Class Period”).  

Kyndryl (KD) investors are encouraged to visit our updated case page to review the expanded allegations: www.hbsslaw.com/cases/kd, or view our latest video summary of the allegations: youtu.be/yBLSIN6NeQ0

“The litigation alleges that Kyndryl’s much-touted free cash flow—a key indicator of the company’s growth—was a mirage built on undisclosed and unsustainable cash management practices,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the firm’s investigation of the alleged claims in the pending litigation. “We are investigating whether the company used these practices to mask its true financial health, leading to the massive 55% value destruction when the CFO and General Counsel abruptly departed and the SEC's investigation became public.”

Kyndryl Holdings, Inc. (KD) Securities Class Action: Expanded Allegations

While the initial complaint focused primarily on the failure to timely file financial reports and deficient internal controls, the expanded complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Kyndryl and its executives failed to disclose:

Manipulated Cash Flow Metrics: That Kyndryl’s reported free cash flow was artificially inflated by undisclosed and unsustainable cash management practices, rather than genuine operational strength.The August 2025 First Reveal: The complaint notes that the truth began to emerge on August 4, 2025, when Kyndryl missed revenue and cash flow estimates, causing a 21% stock drop. Despite this, management allegedly continued to reassure investors about the "durability" of its financial condition.SEC Investigation & Executive Exodus: On February 9, 2026, before the market opened, Kyndryl disclosed a voluntary document request from the SEC’s Enforcement Division regarding its cash management practices. Simultaneously, the company announced the immediate departure of its CFO and General Counsel.Total Market Fallout: Following the February 9 announcement, Kyndryl’s stock plummeted 55%, falling from $23.49 to $10.59 per share. Lead Plaintiff Deadline: April 13, 2026

Despite the filing of the new expanded complaint, the April 13, 2026, deadline for investors to move for Lead Plaintiff remains unchanged.

The company will launch pilots in Canada, Australia and New Zealand in the coming weeks and in “many more markets” later this year, it said in a Thursday (March 26) update to an earlier blog post about the ads program.

“Guided by our ads principles, the early results are encouraging,” OpenAI said in the update. “We’re seeing no impact on consumer trust metrics, low dismissal rates of ads, and ongoing improvements in the relevance of ads as we learn from feedback. These positive signals support moving into the next phase of our pilot.”

OpenAI’s ad principles include having ChatGPT’s answers remain independent and unbiased, conversations remain private and people retain control over their experience with ChatGPT, according to the update.

Reuters reported Thursday that within six weeks of the pilot’s launch in the U.S., OpenAI’s advertising business surpassed $100 million in annualized revenue. The report, which cited an OpenAI spokesperson, said the company now has more than 600 advertisers.

OpenAI announced Jan. 16 that it planned to begin testing ads in the U.S. for its Free and Go tiers within weeks. It added that the company’s Plus, Pro, Business and Enterprise subscription plans would not include ads.

The firm said it was testing ads “so more people can benefit from our tools with fewer usage limits or without having to pay.” It added that as it began testing ad formats, it looked forward to “getting people’s feedback and ensuring that ads can support broad access to AI and keep the trust that makes ChatGPT valuable.”

OpenAI said on Feb. 9 that it had begun testing ads in ChatGPT for logged-in adult users on the chatbot’s Free and Go subscription plans. Within days, Target, Adobe, Williams-Sonoma and Albertsons said they were participating in the pilot ad program.

It was reported Monday (March 23) that OpenAI was preparing to show ads to all U.S. users of ChatGPT’s Free and Go versions and that the company hired former Meta advertising executive David Dugan to oversee its ad sales.

Nancy Tengler of Laffer Tengler Investments breaks down the 5 stocks she believes can lead the next wave of market outperformance—and how investors can spot similar opportunities.

Meta shares fell nearly 5% Friday and more than $20 billion were wiped from Mark Zuckerberg’s net worth as investors feared a “Big Tobacco”-like legal reckoning following two back-to-back courtroom losses for the tech giant.

The Facebook and Instagram owner – which has seen its stock drop nearly 13% this week – shed roughly $119 billion in market cap on Thursday after two verdicts found it liable for failing to protect children, potentially teeing up thousands of similar challenges.

Meta was locked out of the top seven US firms by market cap for the first time since 2023 following the stock drop, according to Dow Jones Market Data.

A decline in Meta’s stock wiped $21 billion off Mark Zuckerberg’s net worth. Nathan Posner/Shutterstock Zuckerberg, who owns a roughly 13% stake in Meta, saw his net worth plummet to $182.5 billion Friday – down $21 billion from the previous day and making him the biggest loser on the Forbes Real-Time Billionaires list.

A landmark verdict Tuesday in New Mexico found Meta failed to protect kids from sexual predators, ordering it to pay $375 million in civil penalties. 

Then a California jury on Wednesday found Meta and Google’s YouTube purposely designed addictive app features meant to hook kids that harmed a now-20-year-old woman, demanding $4.2 million in damages.

Meta has vowed to appeal both cases — a stance that Google shares — but it’s not just the millions in penalties that has sent Meta’s stock nosediving.

Investors are fearful that the trouble is just beginning, as the landmark decisions could encourage a flood of lawsuits similar to the firestorm that bombarded cigarette makers a generation ago.

Social media companies have long been absolved from major legal challenges by blaming potentially harmful content, including sexual and violent posts, on the users who create it.

Families of the victims in a California case that accused Meta of harming young users. Andy Johnstone for CA Post But the verdicts suggest a “new era in internet litigation,” Jess Miers, an assistant professor of law at the University of Akron, previously told The Post.

Meta and Google face thousands of pending lawsuits across federal and state courts that similarly accuse the social media firms of profiting from intentional design choices that get kids hooked to apps and leave them vulnerable to sexual predators.

Meta, Google, Snap and TikTok will face another high-profile case this June in a California federal court as school districts around the country argue that their addictive apps have disrupted education and weighed on local resources.

Shares in Meta continued declines on Friday. Snap and TikTok were also defendants in the California case from this week, but they settled with defendants before the trial started.

In that suit, a 20-year-old woman, known by her first name Kaley, claimed she became dangerously obsessed with Instagram and YouTube at a young age because they were deliberately designed to be addictive to children, with features like infinite scroll and autoplay.

Demand for bitcoin as a corporate treasury asset is once again concentrated in Michael Saylor's Strategy as the company steps up its bitcoin buying pace.

The craze of public companies that once sought to mimic Strategy by stocking up on bitcoin as a company treasury asset were the essence of the crypto market last summer. But today, as bitcoin's price struggles for a sixth consecutive month, corporate treasury bitcoin buying has almost completely disappeared for all but Strategy itself, according to crypto data provider CryptoQuant. At the same time, Strategy is buying bitcoin at its fastest pace in almost a year.

Purchases by bitcoin treasuries have declined 99% from their August 2025 high, according to CryptoQuant. Over the past 30 days, bitcoin accumulators excluding Strategy bought 1,000 BTC. Meanwhile, Strategy has purchased about 45,000 BTC in the same period – that's the company's highest 30-day purchase since April 2025.

The share of purchases from all other bitcoin treasury companies has declined to 2%, from 95% in October.

Strategy's stock is trading more than 71% off its 52-week high, while bitcoin has tumbled 48% from its October peak.

Strategy's stock is trading about 71% off it's 52-week high

Strategy's long-term accumulation may support bitcoin demand and price, however, its leveraged funding strategy makes the concentration of demand fragile, so disruptions in funding could impact bitcoin's price support (as well as Strategy shares).

Saylor, the co-founder and executive chairman of the company, downplayed the concentration risk, saying overall liquidity and decentralization limit the impact of any single holder.

"Bitcoins got $50 billion a day of liquidity, and we don't control the price of the liquidity, and we hold three and a half percent of the asset," he told CNBC. "It's a very decentralized, very diffused asset. … The market is much bigger than anybody in it and that's actually what makes it such a compelling capital asset."

Strategy holds about 65% of the bitcoin held by public companies, according to Bitcoin Treasuries. That's a broader designation of companies whose primary purpose isn't necessarily to acquire, hold and sometimes leverage bitcoin.

It's followed by, XXI and Metaplanet, which account for 4.3% and 3.5% of total public company bitcoin holdings, respectively. Crypto exchanges Coinbase and Bullish, as well as miners Mara Holdings and Riot Platforms, are also in the top of corporate bitcoin holders.

To be sure, bitcoin ETFs, retail investors and bitcoin miners are all still major sources of bitcoin demand. ETFs collectively have seen $56 billion in inflows since their listings in 2024, and they're currently on pace for their first month of net inflows since October.

JetBlue Airways (NASDAQ:JBLU) is reportedly exploring potential merger partners, a move that comes amid broader consolidation trends in the US airline industry, according to analysts at UBS, who believe increased M&A activity could support a healthier industry over the long term.

JetBlue, which maintained a strong balance sheet and double-digit EBIT margin before the COVID-19 pandemic, has faced challenges in recent years, including rising fuel costs, competitive pressures, and engine issues. The airline recorded free cash flow losses of over $1 billion in 2025 and UBS models a similar cash burn for 2026, up from prior estimates of around $500 million.

Despite these challenges, JetBlue has made progress with its JetForward plan, though its core operations continue to struggle, according to UBS. Its EBIT margin fell from 10.1% in 2019 to -3.7% in 2025, and the company ended last year with approximately $9 billion in debt and lease obligations, including $7 billion in net debt. UBS noted that merging with a financially stronger partner could help JetBlue preserve its market presence in key regions, such as Fort Lauderdale and Latin American routes, while providing additional liquidity for investment.

Potential partners under consideration reportedly include United Airlines Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:UAL, XETRA:UAL1), Alaska Air Group (NYSE:ALK), and Southwest Airlines Co (NYSE:LUV). UBS highlighted that route overlaps between JetBlue and these carriers are limited, approximately 3% to 3.5% for ALK and LUV, and around 9.5% for UAL, reducing potential regulatory concerns.

For UAL, a merger would provide access to key airports including JFK, Boston, and Florida, though it may delay the carrier’s goal of reaching an investment-grade rating. ALK could achieve coast-to-coast reach by combining its West Coast strength with JetBlue’s East Coast presence, though the airline is still integrating its acquisition of Hawaiian Airlines. LUV would similarly gain East Coast access, but its ongoing business transformation may complicate merger timing.

UBS concluded that while each potential deal presents strategic opportunities, any merger would require careful evaluation of JetBlue’s current leverage and operational challenges.

Key Takeaways LASR's A&D revenue jumped 60% in 2025, with double-digit growth expected in 2026. nLIGHT faces $25M$30M headwind from exiting cutting and welding, pressuring near-term results.LASR margins remain sensitive to mix, utilization, and milestone-driven development revenue timing. nLIGHT (LASR - Free Report) is entering 2026 with a defense-led growth story that is gaining credibility. Aerospace and defense (A&D) momentum improved through 2025 as late-stage programs progressed and the business mix continued shifting toward higher-value offerings.

At the same time, the 2026 setup is not just about demand. Revenue timing, product mix and factory utilization will likely decide how smooth the earnings path looks from quarter to quarter.

LASR’s Near-Term Setup Starts With Defense MomentumDefense demand is the core driver behind LASR’s improved visibility. A&D revenues climbed 60% year over year in 2025 to $175 million, supported by stronger shipments and program execution. Management is targeting total growth in 2026 with double-digit A&D expansion. Funded backlog is expected to support that plan and reinforce a multi-year shift toward higher-value defense products as programs mature.

That mix shift matters because it can lift the quality of revenues over time. LASR also broadened its defense footprint beyond directed energy as laser sensing moved from design wins to production, helping diversify exposure and reduce reliance on one-off development milestones. LASR’s funded backlog of about $162 million as of Dec. 31, 2025, provides a baseline for 2026. However, nLIGHT has indicated that additional “go-get” beyond the existing backlog is needed to achieve total 2026 growth, which widens outcomes if prototype awards slip.

The key issue is timing. Development revenues are milestone-driven, and funding and testing risk can shift deliveries across quarters. That can swing reported revenues, mix and cash generation even when program demand is intact. This is where dispersion shows up for investors. If milestone schedules reset or customer testing takes longer than expected, quarterly cadence can look uneven, even as longer-cycle defense programs remain on track.

For the first quarter of 2026, nLIGHT expects revenues between $70 million and $76 million. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter 2026 revenues is pegged at $70.6 million, indicating 36.6% growth from the figure reported in the year-ago quarter. The consensus mark for earnings is currently pegged at 8 cents per share, up couple of cents over the past 30 days. LASR reported a loss of 4 cents per share in the year-ago quarter.

LASR’s Industrial Exit Creates a Measurable HeadwindLASR is deliberately absorbing a near-term headwind by exiting cutting and welding. Management expects a 2026 revenue impact of about $25 million to $30 million, with only modest contribution in the first half of 2026 and near-zero in the second half. The strategic logic is straightforward: the business was shrinking, and the company is prioritizing areas aligned with defense and advanced laser platforms. Still, removing revenues that carried a positive margin can pressure near-term comparisons. That pressure can show up in headline margin optics before the benefits of a cleaner portfolio and scaled defense production become more visible in the income statement.

Microfabrication is another swing factor in 2026. Management has described limited visibility, reduced China contribution and variable ordering patterns, with the potential for flat-to-down performance versus 2025. If microfabrication softens while the industrial wind-down accelerates, LASR’s growth burden leans more heavily on aerospace and defense. That raises the bar for defense execution to keep total company growth on track.

The competitive backdrop also remains active. Peers like IPG Photonics (IPGP - Free Report) and Coherent (COHR - Free Report) operate in overlapping laser markets, underscoring why consistency in end-market demand and program timing matters for LASR’s quarterly narrative. nLIGHT is also facing stiff competition in the optical components and laser end-market from the likes of Lumentum Holdings (LITE - Free Report) .

nLIGHT shares have jumped 66.5% on a year-to-date (YTD) basis, outperforming the broader Zacks Computer & Technology sector’s decline of 8.6%. LASR shares have outperformed peers, including IPG Photonics and Coherent, shares of which have returned 65.1% and 34.1%, respectively, over the same time frame. nLIGHT shares have underperformed Lumentum, shares of which have jumped 94.1% YTD.

LASR’s Margin Sensitivity is the Real Earnings DebateMargins are the main debate because they are sensitive to mix and utilization. In the fourth quarter of 2025, product gross margin stepped down sequentially to 37.3% as mix became less favorable, factory utilization declined and inventory charges increased due to the cutting and welding exit.

 The near-term guideposts reinforce that sensitivity. For the first quarter of 2026, management guided to mid-to-high-20% overall gross margin and positive adjusted EBITDA, reflecting how consolidated results can shift with production volumes and fixed-cost absorption.

Development revenue adds another layer of volatility. As milestones reset, development margin can move sharply, and a heavier weighting to development work can dilute consolidated profitability if product ramps do not land on schedule.

NEW YORK, March 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of common stock of Alight, Inc. (NYSE: ALIT) between November 12, 2024 and February 18, 2026, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important May 15, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Alight common stock during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Alight class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=54542 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than May 15, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved, at that time, the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose facts concerning the true state of Alight’s growth potential and financial stability; notably, that Alight was not truly equipped to execute on its claimed potential and could not maintain its promised dividend as a result. Rather, Alight would require significantly higher compensation and incentive expenses to achieve the projections put forth by management. Throughout the class period, defendants announced disappointing results, reduced projections, and multiple goodwill impairments all while remaining confident in their ability to execute, drive growth, and continue to provide a dividend to their shareholders. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the Alight class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=54542 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.
