MicroVision, Inc. (MVIS) shares dropped Wednesday after the company delivered a mixed bag of third-quarter results following Tuesday's market close.
The Numbers Game
MicroVision posted a loss of 5 cents per share, which actually beat analyst expectations of a 7-cent loss. The catch? Revenue came in at $241,000, falling short of the $250,000 consensus estimate. That's the kind of mixed report that keeps investors guessing.
Big Moves Beyond Earnings
The company packed plenty of news into its earnings release. It brought on 30-year industry veteran Glen DeVos as CEO and launched its next-generation solid-state lidar sensor MOVIA S, targeting short-range automotive, industrial and defense applications. MicroVision also unveiled a "Tri-Lidar Architecture" solution as an alternative to single-sensor systems and signed an agreement to acquire German FMCW lidar developer Scantinel Photonics for a lidar-on-chip solution.
Financial Position
On the balance sheet front, MicroVision closed the quarter with $99.5 million in cash and cash equivalents. The company also has access to an additional $76.2 million in committed capital, including $46.2 million under an at-the-market facility and $30 million from a convertible note facility.
MVIS Price Action: MicroVision shares were down 11.8% at 94 cents on Wednesday, according to data from MarketDash Pro.
