Bolt shares preliminary 2025 results and updates 2026 guidance via Reg FD.

Bolt Projects Holdings, Inc. has provided investors with preliminary expected results for Q4 and full year 2025 and has updated its full year fiscal 2026 guidance. This type of disclosure gives an early look at management’s current view of recent performance and its outlook before final audited numbers are available.

The information is furnished under Item 7.01 (Regulation FD), which means it is intended to ensure broad, simultaneous access to the same information, but it is not treated as “filed” for certain liability provisions. Investors focusing on this event would need to review Exhibit 99.1, which contains the press release dated December 29, 2025, to understand the specific revenue, earnings, or guidance figures and how they compare with prior expectations.

The impact on valuation depends on the actual numbers and guidance changes described in the press release, including any commentary on business trends for fiscal 2026. Subsequent periodic reports, such as the company’s annual and quarterly financial statements, will provide the final audited figures and further context for how these preliminary results translate into longer-term performance.
