Revenue beat, EPS missed estimates

Yahoo Finance reports that fiscal Q3 2026 revenue was USD 215.3 million and net income was negative USD 5.7 million. Diluted EPS came in at negative USD 0.14 against a consensus estimate of negative USD 0.06, a USD 0.08 miss for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.

The revenue figure was 0.3 percent above the prior-year quarter, according to MarketBeat. The contrast matters for the stock: sales held up, but the quarterly loss remains the sharper measure of near-term earnings pressure.

Analysts see limited upside

MarketBeat lists a Reduce consensus based on five analysts, with a USD 27.00 average target, a USD 24.00 low and a USD 32.00 high. The average target stands 19.6 percent above the October 7 closing price, while the share price sits 16.4 percent below that target.

As Futu News reported on October 6, 2026, BMO Capital kept a Hold rating but reduced its target from USD 30.00 to USD 25.00. That target is below the broader consensus and highlights the split between individual analyst views and the published average.
