Third-Quarter Results Show Robust Revenue and Earnings Expansion
NVE Corporation (Nasdaq: NVEC) reported solid financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2026, highlighting strong growth in both revenue and earnings.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2025, total revenue increased 23% year-over-year to $6.22 million, up from $5.06 million in the prior-year period. The improvement was driven by a 16% increase in product sales, complemented by a sharp 335% rise in contract research and development revenue.
Net income for the quarter rose 11% to $3.38 million, or $0.70 per diluted share, compared with $3.05 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, in the same quarter last year. Management attributed the performance to broad-based growth across revenue streams and continued operational discipline.
Daniel A. Baker, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of NVE, said the company was pleased with the quarter’s results, noting that revenue and earnings growth reflected strength across both core product lines and research activities.
Nine-Month Performance Reflects Stable Revenue Base
For the first nine months of fiscal 2026, NVE reported total revenue of $18.7 million, representing a modest increase of 0.4% from $18.6 million in the prior-year period. Product sales increased 0.8% during the period, partially offset by an 8% decline in contract research and development revenue.
Net income for the nine-month period declined 8% to $10.3 million, or $2.12 per diluted share, compared with $11.2 million, or $2.31 per diluted share, for the first nine months of fiscal 2025. The year-to-date comparison reflects variability in contract research activity and the timing of revenue recognition.
Quarterly Dividend Declared
Alongside its earnings announcement, NVE declared a quarterly cash dividend of $1.00 per share of common stock. The dividend will be payable on February 27, 2026, to shareholders of record as of February 2, 2026. The dividend underscores the company’s strong balance sheet and continued commitment to returning capital to shareholders.
