Analysis · NNBR · Technology
The headline is the third 2026 guidance raise: net sales are now seen at $480M-$500M and adjusted EBITDA at $64M-$68M, after Q3 delivered 26.2% net sales growth and a 49.7% jump in adjusted EBITDA. Just as important, the balance-sheet cleanup is finished — preferred stock is fully retired, and preferred stock plus net debt fell $122M, or 47%, from year-end 2025. Years of capital constraints had sidelined data center, defense and medical programs; management now says it can fund them. The caveat is that GAAP profitability remains negative, with a $4.6M net loss and $3.3M operating loss, so the story hinges on adjusted metrics and on converting the $130M of trailing-12-month new business awards into revenue.
