Analysis · CPSH · Manufacturing
CPS Technologies turned in a mixed quarter: revenue rose 2% to $8.3M, topping the lone analyst estimate, but gross margins compressed to 14.8% from 16.5% a year ago, and the company posted a small operating loss. The real story, however, is the balance sheet — the $9.6M capital raise completed in June has fortified cash to $15.4M, funding a planned facility move and growth initiatives. With the stock trading near $4.60, well below the $8.00 offering price from two months ago, the market is clearly discounting the company's outlook despite management's optimistic tone on demand and new defense programs.
