Blaize Slashes 2026 Revenue Outlook on Slower Orders, Higher Memory Costs
BZAI is trading near its 52-week low of $0.739 (12% above the low).
Summary
Blaize cut its full-year 2026 revenue guidance to $40M-$43M, down from prior outlook, citing slower order conversion and materially higher memory costs. Q2 gross margin collapsed to 8% as revenue mix shifted toward lower-margin third-party server hardware. The company also posted a Q2 net loss of $28.81M, far worse than the $19.61M consensus. This follows the 10-Q filed today disclosing a going concern warning, a new securities class action, and loss of its primary contract manufacturer. The guidance cut and margin deterioration confirm the operational stress flagged in that filing. Watch for execution on the $20M server agreement expected in H2 2026 and any updates on the class action.
At the time of this announcement, BZAI was trading at $0.82 on NASDAQ in the Technology sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $166.5M. The 52-week trading range was $0.74 to $6.76.
