nLIGHT (LASR) Q2 Revenue Jumps 22%
nLIGHT (NASDAQ:LASR), a laser technology specialist focused on industrial and defense applications, reported financial results for Q2 2025 on August 7, 2025. The release revealed GAAP revenue of $61.7 million, up 22.2% from the same period in 2024, and topping the consensus GAAP estimate of $55.2 million. Non-GAAP earnings per share (EPS) rose to $0.06, not only reversing a year-ago non-GAAP loss of $(0.10) per share in Q2 2024 but surpassing the projected non-GAAP -$0.09. This marked a return to non-GAAP profitability, propelled by record revenues in the Aerospace Defense segment, though the company continued to show a GAAP net loss. All major profit and margin metrics improved, and management raised full-year 2025 growth guidance for Aerospace Defense to at least 40% year-over-year, up from the prior outlook of at least 25%. The quarter demonstrated execution and momentum in core defense programs, but also highlighted that commercial segments remain under pressure.
