Dragonfly Energy Issues Weak Q1 Sales Guidance
Dragonfly posted a fourth-quarter adjusted EPS loss of $4.57, missing analyst estimates of a loss of 60 cents, although revenue of $13.06 million slightly topped consensus expectations of $12.94 million.
The company said it expects first-quarter 2026 sales of about $9.5 million, well below the analyst estimate of $15.03 million. The company also forecast an adjusted EBITDA loss of roughly $4.6 million for the quarter.
Weak RV Market And Slow Trucking Ramp Weigh On Q1 Outlook
For the fourth-quarter, direct-to-consumer sales fell 18% to $4.7 million, reflecting weaker macro conditions and reduced focus on that channel. Gross margin narrowed to 18.2% from 20.8%, while adjusted EBITDA came in at negative $3.8 million.
Management said first-quarter results are expected to reflect softer-than-anticipated RV market conditions, especially in January, and a slower-than-expected ramp in trucking.
Dragonfly also announced cost-cutting measures expected to generate about $8.9 million in annualized savings as it works toward profitability.
