Reason

Needham analyst James Ricchiuti lowered the firm's price target on nLight to $14 from $16 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The firm is cutting its estimates for Q4 and 2025 following nLight's Q4 pre-announcement ahead of the 27th Annual Needham Growth Conference last week, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Most surprising was the Defense miss, though this appears to be a short-term headwind, Needham added.

Strong Buy

Reason

Stifel lowered the firm's price target on nLight to $14 from $17 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares after the company provided preliminary Q4 expectations with a weaker-than-expected revenue range of $46M-$48M that was below the low end of the company's prior $49M-$54M guidance range. The firm updated its model to reflect the short-term challenges, but believes the story over the next 18-or-so months "remains promising," the analyst tells investors.
