Nova (ISIN IL0010845571) was trading at EUR 281.95 at Lang & Schwarz on October 20, 2026, at 10:03 a.m. CEST. On October 15, 2026, Nova announced that it expects to publish third-quarter results before the Nasdaq open on November 5, 2026.
Three events reset the setup
The recent timeline combines operating growth with a more cautious analyst tone. On August 6, 2026, Nova reported second-quarter revenue of USD 254.96 million, up 15.90 percent year over year, while non-GAAP earnings per share reached USD 2.51, according to Benzinga.
On October 8, 2026, Citi downgraded Nova from Buy to Neutral and cut its price target from USD 550 to USD 415, as reported by Markets Insider. On October 15, 2026, Nova set November 5, 2026, as the reporting date for the third quarter through its investor release.
What does the guidance imply for revenue?
Nova's third-quarter revenue guidance spans USD 277 million to USD 287 million, versus USD 254.96 million in the second quarter. The midpoint of USD 282 million would be USD 27.04 million above the second-quarter result, a comparison that places execution ahead of the next report.
The margin picture adds a second test. Second-quarter GAAP gross margin was 57 percent and GAAP operating margin was 30 percent, while management's third-quarter outlook called for a 57 percent GAAP gross margin and a 59 percent non-GAAP gross margin, according to Benzinga. That keeps the November report centered on whether higher sales can preserve profitability.
November brings the next test
Nova will release its third-quarter results on November 5, 2026, before the Nasdaq market opens, with a conference call scheduled for 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time. The company said the call replay will remain available through November 12, 2026, in the Nova release.
Price stays below the analyst target
For investors, the next evidence will be the combination of revenue delivery, margin control and the target reset from Citi. Nova's Nasdaq listing gives the November release a clear catalyst, while the current euro quotation provides the market reference for investors in Germany.
Nova was trading at EUR 281.95 at Lang & Schwarz on October 20, 2026, at 10:03 a.m. CEST. The further course of trading is shown by the continuously updated real-time quote of Nova stock.
