Veeco Instruments reported third-quarter adjusted earnings of $0.36 per share on revenue of $209.384 million, both missing analyst estimates, and the stock fell 2.69% to close at $35.95. While the company's fourth-quarter guidance ranges bracketed consensus for adjusted EPS and sales, it cut its FY2026 adjusted EPS outlook to $1.32-$1.52 from $1.36-$1.61 and reduced its FY2026 GAAP EPS forecast to $0.72-$0.92, with the new midpoint below the $0.90 consensus. The company did lift its FY2026 sales outlook to $790M-$820M from $780M-$810M. The Q3 miss and lowered full-year profit guidance weighed on shares, signaling a bearish direction.
