Key Tronic Corporation (ISIN US4931441095) was last at USD 2.18 on Nasdaq at 4:00 p.m. ET on October 5, 2026, down 3.54 percent from the prior session. The move came as investors assessed a fiscal 2026 report showing lower sales, a wider loss and continued pressure on cash generation.

Fiscal sales fell 17.4 percent

According to StockTitan, Key Tronic reported fiscal 2026 net sales of USD 386.7 million for the year ended June 27, 2026, down 17.4 percent from USD 467.9 million in fiscal 2025. The company attributed the decline to weaker demand from existing customers and end-of-life programs, while new and significantly ramped programs contributed USD 38 million.

The earnings quality also deteriorated. Fiscal 2026 net loss reached USD 47.8 million, or USD 4.41 per diluted share, compared with a USD 8.3 million loss, or USD 0.77 per share, in fiscal 2025, while gross margin contracted to 6.2 percent from 7.8 percent.

Cash flow remains a key test

Operating cash flow totaled USD 4.4 million in fiscal 2026, compared with USD 18.9 million in fiscal 2025. The contrast with the wider net loss matters because Key Tronic is managing manufacturing changes while funding production capacity in the United States and Vietnam.

Key Tronic describes itself as an electronics design and manufacturing services provider. Its investor-relations page highlights 3,298 employees, USD 4.4 million in cash from operations and a USD 117.3 million working-capital figure tied to its latest published materials.

Annual meeting is scheduled

According to the SEC filing dated September 23, 2026, shareholders will meet on October 29, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time. The agenda includes seven director elections, advisory votes on executive compensation and ratification of Baker Tilly US, LLP as auditor.

Key Tronic stock stays near yearly low
