Analysis · UTMD · Industrial Applications And Services
Utah Medical Products reported Q2 2026 revenue of $8.53 million, down 14.3% year-over-year, driven by the loss of its two largest customers which accounted for $1.07 million of the decline. New biopharma OEM sales, intended to offset these losses, reached only $211,000 in the first half—far slower than planned. Management now expects full-year 2026 sales to decline 10-13%, a sharp reversal from prior guidance of flat revenues. Litigation costs are also running higher than expected, now projected at less than $1.6 million for the year versus the prior estimate of below 2025's $1.355 million. The company maintains a fortress balance sheet with $87.5 million in cash and no debt, and share repurchases were minimal at $206,000 in the first half. The revenue miss and guidance cut signal deeper-than-expected customer concentration risk and a slower new product ramp, raising questions about the growth trajectory.
