Optical Cable (ISIN US6838272085) was trading at EUR 15.15 at Lang & Schwarz on October 5, 2026 at 10:20 p.m. CEST, down 6.48 percent from the prior close of EUR 16.20. On September 9, 2026, PR Newswire reported that Optical Cable had delivered stronger third-quarter fiscal 2026 results.
Revenue growth reaches 22.00 percent
For the third quarter of fiscal 2026 ended July 31, 2026, consolidated net sales increased 22.00 percent year over year to USD 24.30 million from USD 19.90 million, according to PR Newswire.
The earnings mix improved as well. Net income reached USD 1.90 million, or USD 0.21 per diluted share, compared with USD 0.30 million and USD 0.04 per share in the prior-year quarter.
Margin and backlog strengthen
Gross profit increased 43.90 percent to USD 9.10 million in the third quarter, while gross margin expanded to 37.40 percent from 31.70 percent a year earlier, PR Newswire said on September 9, 2026.
The sales order backlog or forward load stood at USD 13.50 million on July 31, 2026, up from USD 7.30 million on October 31, 2025. That comparison gives the quarterly margin improvement a second operating indicator, although the higher share price valuation leaves less room for execution setbacks.
