- Velo3D stock is building positive momentum. Why are VELO shares climbing?
What To Expect In Tuesday’s Report
Analysts are looking for a quarterly loss of 56 cents per share on revenue of about $8.68 million. Velo3D, which supplies advanced additive manufacturing technology to aerospace and defense customers, has been showing signs of renewed momentum.
In the third quarter, the company generated $13.6 million in revenue and reiterated its full‑year 2025 revenue outlook of $50 million to $60 million. Management also reaffirmed its goal of reaching positive EBITDA in the first half of 2026.
Recent Business Highlights
The third quarter brought solid progress across the business. Rapid Production Services (RPS) continued to gain traction, with backlog rising 22% from the previous quarter to $21.1 million as of Sept. 30, 2025.
In the third-quarter report, CEO Arun Jeldi emphasized that disciplined cost controls and targeted investments are helping improve margins and keep the company on track for positive EBITDA in early 2026, while continuing to scale its technology for long‑term growth. Velo3D also noted that it expects gross margins to improve sequentially, with fourth‑quarter margins projected to exceed 30%.
The company also completed its uplisting to the Nasdaq Capital Market during the third quarter and raised roughly $17.5 million in gross proceeds through a public offering, strengthening its balance sheet as it moves into the next phase of growth.
VELO Technical Analysis Shows Mixed Momentum
