Previous Earnings Reports
| Date | Event | Sentiment | Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nov 05 | Q1 2026 earnings | Negative | +5.1% | Revenue and margins declined, losses widened, but guidance was reaffirmed. |
| Aug 13 | FY25 results | Neutral | -2.0% | Mixed Q4 and full-year performance with modest growth and small net income. |
| Apr 30 | Q3 2025 earnings | Positive | -12.9% | Double-digit revenue growth and improved EBITDA but lower backlog. |
| Feb 05 | Q2 2025 earnings | Positive | +8.0% | Strong revenue growth, net income, higher margins, and raised guidance. |

Earnings releases have produced mixed reactions, with notable selloffs even on strong quarters and occasional rallies despite weaker results, indicating inconsistent alignment between fundamentals and near-term price moves.
Over the last year, Accuray’s earnings reports have shown a transition from growth and improving profitability to revenue declines and larger losses. Positive quarters such as Q2 2025 and parts of fiscal 2025 featured revenue growth, net income, and raised guidance, while more recent results, including Q1 2026, highlighted falling product revenue, lower margins, and wider net losses. Today’s fiscal Q2 2026 update continues that pressure, with higher restructuring charges and reduced profitability compared with prior-year periods.
Historical Comparison
In the past 5 earnings releases, ARAY’s average move was 0.23%, with both rallies and sharp selloffs. Today’s -6.2% reaction to weaker Q2 2026 results and lowered profitability guidance sits at the more negative end of its recent earnings responses.
Earnings have progressed from strong FY2025 growth and raised guidance to FY2026 quarters marked by declining product revenue, lower margins, larger losses, and restructuring actions under a new CEO.
Regulatory & Risk Context
The company has an active S-3 shelf registration filed on 2025-07-28 that remains effective through 2028-07-28. The filing is marked as not yet effective for use and shows no recorded usage to date in the provided data.
Market Pulse Summary
The stock is dropping -13.8% following this news. A negative reaction despite detailed guidance fits a history where earnings have sometimes led to sizable selloffs, particularly when margins compress or losses widen. The latest quarter showed lower revenue, weaker gross margin, and a $13.8M net loss with $6.1M in restructuring charges. With an active transformation plan and updated targets of $440–$450M revenue and $22–$25M adjusted EBITDA, execution risk has previously contributed to post-earnings pressure.

"Over the past 90 days, I've met extensively with Accuray teams and customers across all major regions. Their insights have directly informed the decisive actions we've already taken — from reorganizing our commercial structure to refining our near‑term product and service investment priorities. We moved quickly and with discipline across the four pillars we outlined publicly: commercial simplification, global functional alignment, elevation of service and product development, and cost‑structure and footprint optimization," said CEO Steve La Neve.
"While this transformation is in its early stages, the pace of execution, the alignment across the organization, and the level of accountability give me confidence that we are on the right trajectory. Our objectives remain clear: accelerate top‑line growth, enhance our competitive position, expand profitability, and deliver sustainable long‑term value for all of our stakeholders, building a stronger Accuray, and the momentum we are seeing reinforces the impact of the steps taken to date," added La Neve.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Accuray reports its financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in
Accuray has supplemented its GAAP net income (loss) with a non-GAAP measure of adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, and (gain) loss from change in fair value of warrant liability ("adjusted EBITDA"). The calculation of adjusted EBITDA also excludes certain non-recurring, irregular and one-time items. Management believes that this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful supplemental information to management and investors regarding the performance of the company and facilitates a meaningful comparison of results for current periods with previous operating results. A reconciliation of GAAP net loss (the most directly comparable GAAP measure) to non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is provided in the schedules below.
There are limitations in using these non-GAAP financial measures because they are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP financial measures. Investors and potential investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures only in conjunction with the company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
