Lightpath Technologies Inc (LPTH) Cotización

Being taken out to the woodshed for mediocre earnings report plus a very expensive acquisition. $20 mil cash + 2 mil shares (+ up to $23 mil in earnout in 2026-2027).

They had to do a private placement in order to raise cash at $2.15 per share in amount of $32 mil.

Somehow they say this acquisition is going to be accretive.

All it does is lengthen out the period for price appreciation.

LPTH, new 52=week high

At some point this company will need to raise cash in order to fund potential new business.

$LPTH News - LightPath Technologies Awarded Phase 2 Funding in U.S. Defense Department Partnership to Qualify Additional Germanium Substitutes
Strategic Defense Partnership Follows Successful Phase 1 Qualification of Additional LightPath Proprietary BlackDiamond™ Material Variants

ORLANDO, Fla., Oct. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- LightPath Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: LPTH) ("LightPath," the "Company," or "we"), a leading global, vertically integrated provider of thermal imaging cores, custom optical assemblies, photonics and infrared solutions for the industrial, commercial, defense, telecommunications, and medical industries, today announced the U.S. Department of Defense ("DoD") via the Defense Logistics Agency, Strategic Materials ("DLA") has awarded Phase 2 funding to support the qualification of additional LightPath Black Diamond ("BD") chalcogenide glasses as substitute to germanium.
Qualification is a process in which suppliers demonstrate that their materials meet the required specifications and performance standards (MRL, Material Readiness Level) set by the DLA for use in defense applications. DLA qualification funding is made in two phases. The first phase of $250,000, which commenced in July 2023, was earmarked explicitly for 3 of LightPath's proprietary Black Diamond glasses, licensed exclusively from the US Naval Research Laboratories (NRL) as a substitute for Germanium. In this phase, LightPath completed qualification of new materials, which are now designed into several programs of record, and have completely replaced Germanium in those programs.

Our Lockheed Martin Project – this is the biggest opportunity LightPath ever had and is completely transformative to us. We are designing a system for a new Lockheed Martin missile. Currently in development, might have a decision on production as early as sep 2025. If Lockheed wins this project, our revenue from this is going to be between $50M to $100M a year!!
Our three pillars of growth: our growth now is driven by three areas, which are independent of each other. Defense business, camera sales, and automotive. Each one of those three pillars bring multiple opportunities that have the potential to be tens of millions of dollars of annual revenue (like the Lockheed Martin one)
Our transformation over the last few years. LightPath was a company making components at dollars a piece, and now makes cameras that sell for as much as $30K a piece. Huge transformation
Automotive: US NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration part of DoT) set a new rule that by 2029 ALL new cars must have emergency braking systems that can operate in total darkness. This means Thermal imaging will be used. LightPath has already been qualified by one car manufacturer to supply those, and is working with others

Nice, this one dropped off the radar for a bit...

Nice News = NEWS
LightPath Announces Initial $4.7m Order from Lockheed Martin
ORLANDO, FL / ACCESSWIRE / December 11, 2023 / LightPath Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:LPTH), ("LightPath" or the "Company"), a leading vertically integrated global manufacturer and integrator of proprietary optical and infrared technologies, announced that the Company has received a phase I order to develop an advanced infrared camera system for a key Army program (or the "Program"). The Company has received the phase one order from Lockheed Martin Missiles & Fire Control of $4.7 million as part of the Program announced in September.

The initial phase one order is for development and initial prototypes of an advanced thermal camera system to be delivered over the next 12 to 24 months. Positive results of the phase one development will result in a phase two order valued at approximately $3 million. The decision to move the Program to production is expected in 2026, at which point an initial production of 10,000 systems will commence. A fully in-production program would likely have average selling prices of between $5,000 and $10,000 per system, for LightPath's contribution, and significant follow-on orders after the initial 10,000 systems.

LightPath's President and CEO, Sam Rubin commented, "Winning this program of record is a major milestone in the successful implementation of our strategy. Over the last three years LightPath has been pivoting from a pure components manufacturer to leveraging its key technologies and capabilities to becoming an imaging solutions provider. Winning a major program of record, in which we will provide a complete imaging solution, is where we have been aiming and aspiring. Production of these systems will be done in our newly expanded Orlando manufacturing facility.

"Our business is currently driven by three independent pillars of growth: camera solutions, defense, and new applications such as automotive. In each of those pillars of growth we have multiple opportunities that are potentially in the order of tens of millions of dollars per year. Today one of those opportunities is moving forward and we look forward to announcing more such programs in the near future."

Mr. Rubin concluded: "I would like to congratulate the entire LightPath team on this successful implementation of our strategy and on this very important step achieved."

About LightPath Technologies:

China is clamping down in Germanium exports. LightPath has been moving away from Germanium toward chalcogenide glass that is lighter and more malleable so it can mold lenses for higher quantity commercial applications.

We have movement higher by 33% this morning. Will see if it holds and if there is any news such as upgrade.

Sucky earnings on China mess killed this stock today.

Stealth move higher. need some more volume though.

Hold on!

Nice to hear LPTH looks to be a great company can this stock go to $10 or higher someday sure has a low O/S

Good job on the analyst talking it up lots of people missed out on the price increase so all it does is screw up the chart and prolong the actual increase that should have occurred later in the year just like every Reddit pump and dump

An Internet Stock Analyst (Chris Rowe - True Market Insiders) has been talking this stock up. He is claiming this is a $10.00 stock

They use their trading algorithms or they just buy the stock with funds from their account? Why yesterday, no news still.

A couple of times per year some trading firms use their trading algorithms to play with the stock. You can look it up it up in history. The company is an overlooked company which has a new group of management leading it. Should be a $5 stock.

Why is this increasing, no news today

The Wainwright coverage at $5.50 gave folks the perfect cover to sell their shares.

LightPath initiated with a Buy at H.C. Wainwright; tgt $5.50
3:45 PM ET, 02/23/2021 - Briefing.com

. H.C. Wainwright initiates LPTH with a Buy and price target of $5.50. Analyst Scott Buck said, "The company, headquartered in Orlando, Florida, designs, develops, and manufacturers optical and infrared lenses and optical assemblies for use in a wide variety of industries including medical, defense, and telecommunication fields. While the global market for optical equipment is highly competitive and highly fragmented, LightPath's optical design engineering expertise, low-cost structure and global footprint position the business to benefit from increasing capacity and industry tailwinds driving both revenue growth and margin expansion."

The answer is apparently NO.

Someone is accumulating here. Stock has challenged 4.70 multiple times only to fall back. Will the 4th time be the charm?

Markets are ridiculously frothy right now. These rabid buyers are looking for any reason to chase a stock higher. So that news this morning was the excuse. In a normal market, that news (while a slight positive) would have been a non event to the stock price.

High volume again today on news that they opened a European sales office. There has to be something else going on behind the scenes though. Similar pop happened last month and didn't hold. I think they stock needs to hold $4.80 by EOD to keep going higher.

Smells like an upgrade today.

GREAT Q
26% growth in revs. Positive EBITDA
North from here. If you held, well done.

Loaded All I can on the 2.25 Dip Then some more @ 2.30 Nice close @ 2.36 $$$ See ya @ 3.75 - 4.00 promise!!!

The company reported on the high end of their estimated revenue guidance, $9.1 million for the quarter. Was amazed that even a possible "$400K revenue shortfall" could tank a stock almost 60% but it happened. Added more down at $2.20ish and think it can make a move up to $3.50 by the end of the month.

OK, looks like we're turning the corner here. Finally. Time to bounce bigly. Let's go $LPTH

Apparently not.

$1.83 is the 200 day MA . Earnings report and conference call is 9/10. We all saw what the prelim numbers were. $9.1 was the one analyst estimate. Company said $8.7 to $9.1MM . Obviously sold off on that perceived shortfall.

Is there no bottom for this turd? $LPTH

Is there no bottom for this turd? $LPTH

Yea that would be a good idea.. Ive moved on to other plays myself.

There was never really any dead cat bounce other than 10-15 cents up...and when it didn't occur by mid-morning the day following the huge drop I decided that it wasn't worth dropping more coin at that time. May just wait until they actually release the 10-Q after the real earnings release.

This one has just kind of stunned me. Wake up call that not every bottom always plays out.

Still hanging in with the sub 2's....they had all that momo and I guess some fund didn't think it was enough.

Nope, it wasnt.. And i got stopped out with a 5% loss. Its lost support level today. $2.54 is next support level. This is why its extremely important to place a 5% trailing stop when you take a position in any stock that it allows you do to do.. Must meed daily average volume requirement of 450k I believe. Its called protection... gotta have it.

Guess it wasn't the bottom.
