Vistance Networks Q2 EBITDA Misses by 61%, Guides Below Expectations
VISN sits 16% above its 52-week low of $9.47.
Summary
Vistance Networks reported a sharp Q2 miss, with adjusted EBITDA of $35.8M falling 61% short of the $90.7M consensus and down 32% year-over-year. Sales slipped 1.4% to $319.6M, pressured by EMEA and Canada weakness, while adjusted EPS of $0.12 badly missed the $0.28 estimate. The company guided full-year adjusted EBITDA to $200M-$225M, well below the $363M annualized run rate implied by consensus, signaling sustained margin pressure from memory chip costs and stranded divestiture expenses. A $5.00/share special distribution tied to the RUCKUS sale close provides a one-time return, but the core business is deteriorating faster than expected. This follows the $1.846B RUCKUS sale and debt payoff that transformed the balance sheet, yet operational challenges are now front and center. The stock, which closed at $12.35, faces significant downside risk as estimates reset.
