Investment view
nLIGHT’s sales expansion has not yet translated into bottom-line profitability. Annual revenue grew +31.6%, while the trailing net margin was -4.0%; these measures cover different reporting periods. Growth alone cannot demonstrate that expansion can be funded sustainably. The next results should be assessed for progress in losses and cash requirements, rather than another headline revenue figure.

nLIGHT, (LASR) valuation & price targets
The available valuation estimates are shown below; missing values are left unavailable. Analyst targets and DCF use different assumptions; the gap alone does not establish which is more reliable.
The DCF is a model estimate, while the analyst target is a consensus forecast. These are different measures, not guaranteed fair values.

Analyst price target range
FMP reports a low analyst target of $75.00 and a high target of $100.00. These are external price expectations, not outcome probabilities.
- Earnings or cash-flow growth falling below expectations.
- A lower valuation multiple as growth expectations or discount rates change.
- Business and regulatory risks to verify in the latest company filings.
- Consensus price target: $90.00.
- Return calculated from the same dated quote as the other cards.
- Annual EPS consensus: 0.50 for the period ending 2026-12-31 (provider reporting units).
- Earnings and cash-flow delivery exceeding the reference expectations.
- Sustained profitability while funding investment needs.
- A valuation multiple consistent with stronger expected growth.
The risk and upside checks are general valuation conditions, not the documented reasoning of individual analysts or a model deriving these targets. Rating percentages are not scenario probabilities.

How to read these signals
These fixed reference bands are separate from the fundamental score and are not sector rankings or buy/sell recommendations. Bar lengths identify the reference band (85%, 55% or 50%, and 20% or 15%); they are not probabilities or additional model scores.
Debt/equity: low 0–0.5, moderate above 0.5–1.5, high above 1.5; negative equity requires review. Current ratio: strong at 2 or above, adequate at 1–2, low below 1. FCF yield: high at 5% or above, positive above zero. Gross margin: high at 40% or above, mid-range at 20–40%. Net margin: high at 20% or above. ROE and ROIC: high at 15% or above; ROA at 5% or above; otherwise positive or non-positive. Revenue growth: growing at 10% or above, modest at 0–10%, declining below zero. DCF compares the provider estimate with the dated quote. Other figures are shown without a strength judgement. These bands may be unsuitable for some industries.

Price trend · exponential moving averages
The readings are mixed: shorter and longer horizons do not show uniform price positioning. This is not by itself a reversal signal. The close is 22.3% from its 200-session EMA. An EMA weights recent prices more heavily, but remains backward-looking.
+4.2% · close above EMA
-6.0% · close below EMA
-22.3% · close below EMA
Blue line: daily close; dashed amber line: EMA. Source: FMP daily EMA endpoint. The latest daily observation may still be provisional during the session. Each percentage compares that session’s close with its EMA, not the separate quote above. Exponential averages give greater weight to recent prices; they are lagging indicators, not price forecasts. Method and source →
LASR: additional technical context
Additional technical indicators
These indicators complement the fundamental assessment; they do not change the screener’s fundamental score.
The 50-session SMA averages the daily closes equally. On 2026-11-06, it stood at USD 38.48; the same-session close was 1.2% below it. This describes price positioning, not intrinsic value or a future return.
Indicator documentation →The 50-session WMA assigns greater linear weight to recent closes. On 2026-11-06, it stood at USD 37.44; the same-session close was 1.5% above it. This describes price positioning, not intrinsic value or a future return.
Indicator documentation →The 50-session DEMA combines exponential averages to reduce lag. On 2026-11-06, it stood at USD 32.94; the same-session close was 15.4% above it. This describes price positioning, not intrinsic value or a future return.
Indicator documentation →The 50-session TEMA combines multiple exponential averages to reduce lag further. On 2026-11-06, it stood at USD 32.79; the same-session close was 16.0% above it. This describes price positioning, not intrinsic value or a future return.
Indicator documentation →The 14-session RSI was 51.7 on 2026-11-06, between the conventional lower and upper thresholds. RSI compares the strength of recent price gains and losses on a zero-to-one-hundred scale; the usual reference levels are 30 and 70. An extreme reading can persist and is not by itself a reversal signal.
Indicator documentation →The 20-session standard deviation of daily prices was USD 2.22 on 2026-11-06. It describes dispersion of prices around their rolling average in price units. It is neither an annualised return-volatility percentage nor a forecast of the next price move.
Indicator documentation →Williams %R was -14.0 over 14 sessions on 2026-11-06. The oscillator locates the close within the recent high-to-low range: readings nearer zero are closer to the upper end and readings nearer minus one hundred to the lower end. This positioning does not establish that a reversal will follow.
Indicator documentation →The 14-session ADX was 24.0 on 2026-11-06. It measures the strength of a trend, not whether prices are rising or falling. Direction cannot be established from ADX alone; this reading is not a buy or sell instruction.
Indicator documentation →Source: FMP daily technical-indicator endpoints, with the observation date stated in each explanation. The latest session may be provisional. Different look-back windows measure different features of prices.

Sources, calculations and methodology
Alert Invest calculates the displayed valuation gaps from a dated Financial Modeling Prep quote and provider estimates. The fundamental score uses the saved screener API scores for financial health, profitability and growth, plus revisions when available, with equal weight; company research retains its own reporting period. This is a dated snapshot, not a live quote service. Missing metrics remain unavailable and do not receive a score. No AI-generated quotation or investment recommendation is added.

Data sources & dates
Financial data: Financial Modeling Prep

TTM figures cover trailing twelve months; reporting windows may differ. Scoring methodology.
The Alert Invest fundamental profile
The fundamental score equally averages financial health, profitability and growth, plus revisions when available, on a 0–10 scale to one decimal place. Component scores come directly from the same stock-detail API as the screener, with the same rounding rule. All three operating components must be available. Missing revisions are excluded rather than scored as zero.
What the radar includes
Revisions is a fourth axis for earnings-expectation context. When available, it has the same weight as each operating component in the fundamental total. Valuation is assessed separately through multiples, the provider DCF estimate and analyst targets; it is not included in this score. The separate Alert Invest trading score is also a different measure.
Value and growth research
A high fundamental score does not establish that a stock is undervalued. Compare business profitability, financial resilience and growth with the price paid; the valuation section keeps those questions separate. Published investor principles and disclosed holdings provide research leads, not extra score points or evidence of endorsement.
Source: the Alert Invest screener stock-detail API. Its component scores are supplied by the app; this page does not reconstruct missing underlying ratios. Scores reflect the saved API observation and can change when the screener refreshes. The score is a research aid, not a recommendation or a forecast of returns.
Annual revenue is labelled by statement end date. TTM metrics are provided by FMP; retrieval time is not the accounting-period end. Valuation estimates are not guarantees.
