CPS Technologies Q3 2026 profit rises to $347K
CPS expects approximately $10 million in 2027 Attleboro capital expenditures, with up to $3.2 million potentially reimbursable through the lease allowance.
Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.
CPS Technologies Corp. (CPSH) reported third-quarter 2026 net income of $346,757, compared with $207,964 a year earlier, on product sales of $8.90 million versus $8.80 million. Gross profit was $1.86 million, or 21% of sales, compared with $1.50 million, or 17%; CPS attributed the margin improvement to sales mix and price improvements. SG&A rose to $1.50 million from $1.23 million, reflecting Attleboro lease expense, marketing and one-time legal costs.
For the first nine months of 2026, net income was $90,324 versus $407,759, and CPS recorded an operating loss of $423,415 versus operating income of $542,659. Product sales were $24.24 million versus $24.39 million. CPS cited higher gold and other material costs for lower gross margin and lease, business-development and legal costs, a CFO search and foreign-exchange costs for higher SG&A.
At September 26, cash and cash equivalents were $2.79 million and marketable securities were $15.61 million. Operating activities used $2.63 million, versus providing $446,915 in the prior-year period, while inventories rose to $10.32 million from $5.60 million. CPS expects about $10 million in 2027 Attleboro build-out costs, with up to $3.2 million potentially reimbursable under the lease, and expects existing cash and operations to fund the remainder of 2026.
How this balance works
Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.
It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.
Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

CPS TECHNOLOGIES CORP.
Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(1) Nature of Business
CPS Technologies Corporation (the “Company” or “CPS”) provides advanced material solutions to the electronics, power generation, automotive, defense and other industries. The Company’s primary advanced material solution is metal-matrix composites (“MMC”) which are a combination of metal and ceramic.
CPS also assembles housings and packages for hybrid circuits. These housings and packages may include components made of metal-matrix composites or they may include components made of more traditional materials such as aluminum, copper, tungsten, etc.
Using its proprietary MMC technology, the Company also produces light-weight armor, particularly for extreme environments and heavy threat levels.
The Company also engages in research and development, in some cases government funded and in others internally funded, focused on developing new products in response to customer requirements. These products expand our offerings in existing markets and enable penetration into new markets.
The Company sells into several end markets including the wireless communications infrastructure market, high-performance microprocessor market, motor controller, and other microelectronics and defense markets.
(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
As permitted by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable to quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, these notes are condensed and do not contain all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes included in the 2025 Annual Report.
The accompanying financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements of CPS reflect all normal recurring adjustments which are necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for such periods.
The Company’s balance sheet at December 27, 2025 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for complete financial statements.
For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 27, 2025 and in CPS’s other SEC reports, which are accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and the Company’s website at www.cpstechnologysolutions.com.
The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
(3) Future Application of Accounting Standards
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) ("ASU 2024-03"). The standard requires certain details for expenses presented on the face of the Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) as well as selling expenses to be presented in the notes to the financial statements on an interim and annual basis. The provisions of the standard are effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The amendment can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this standard.
(4) Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Condensed Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(5) Restricted Cash
In connection with the lease for its new manufacturing and office facility, the Company maintains $
(6) Marketable Securities
Investments consist of U.S. Treasury Bills and US Government Bonds with maturities up to one year. Since it is not currently managements intention to hold these debt securities until the maturity dates, these have been classified as available-for-sale (“AFS”) and are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded as a component of other comprehensive income (loss).
(7) Fair value of Marketable Securities
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”) states that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. The three-tiered fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes which inputs should be used in measuring fair value, is comprised of: (Level I) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level II) inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly and (Level III) unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data. The fair value hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available in determining fair value. CPS’s marketable securities consist solely of US Treasury Bills and US Government bonds with a maturity of 12 months or less and which fall under Level II of the fair value hierarchy. The value of these US Treasury Bills and US Government bonds as of September 26, 2026 was $

(8) Net Income Per Common and Common Equivalent Share
Basic net income per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares plus additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potential dilutive common shares had been issued for granted stock options and stock purchase rights. Common stock equivalents are excluded from the diluted calculations when a net loss is incurred as they would be anti-dilutive.
The following table presents the calculation of both basic and diluted EPS:

Operating Leases
The Company leases its manufacturing and office under two operating leases expiring in February 2028 (the “Norton facility lease”) and March 2039 (the “Attleboro facility lease”). The Company also has certain equipment leases that are generally short term in nature. The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases with terms of 12 months or less.
Operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future lease payments over the lease term using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate at lease commencement. Lease liabilities are classified between current and noncurrent portions on the condensed balance sheets. Renewal options are included in the lease term when the Company is reasonably certain to exercise such options. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain material residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants.
The Norton lease facility covers approximately

Finance Leases
The Company does not have any finance leases.
(10) Share-Based Payments
The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of the award. That cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). The Company provides an estimate of forfeitures at initial grant date. Reductions in compensation expense associated with the forfeited options are estimated at the date of grant, and this estimated forfeiture rate is adjusted periodically based on actual forfeiture experience. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of the stock options granted.
During the quarter ended September 26, 2026, no stock options were granted to employees or to outside directors under the Company’s 2020 Equity Incentive Plan Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). For the nine months ended September 26, 2026 a total of

The Company views its operations and manages its business as one segment. The Company produces and sells advanced material solutions, primarily metal matrix composites, to assemblers of high density electronics and other specialty components and subassemblies. The Company also assembles housings and packages for hybrid circuits, selling to the same customers mentioned above. These customers represent a single market or segment with similar stringent and well-defined requirements. The Company’s customers, in turn, sell the components and subassemblies which incorporate the products into many different end markets, however, these end markets are two to three levels removed from the Company. The Company also sells armor strike faces to armor manufacturers, using the same manufacturing process used in its other product solutions. The Company makes operating decisions and assesses financial performance only for the Company as a whole and does not make operating decisions or assess financial performance by the end markets which ultimately use the products. Our chief operating decision maker (CODM) is Brian Mackey, our President and CEO. The Company's CODM regularly reviews financial information presented and does not evaluate the Company's operating segment using asset or liability information. Instead, the CODM uses revenue, gross margin, and net income or loss to allocate operating and capital resources and assess performance by comparing actual results to historical results and previously forecasted financial information.
The following table presents segment information for the Company's single reporting segment:

(15) Income Taxes
A valuation allowance against deferred tax assets is required to be established or maintained when it is "more likely than not" that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. Management has determined that a valuation allowance is not needed as it expects that the deferred tax asset will be fully utilized.
For the three and nine months ended September 26, 2026 the deferred tax asset decreased by $
On July 4, 2025, the President signed into law the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (Public Law 119-21), which includes significant modifications to the Internal Revenue Code. The legislation permanently extends and modifies key provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 and introduces new deductions and credits applicable to both individuals and businesses.
Key provisions relevant to the Company include:
Restoration of Immediate Expensing for Domestic Research and Experimental (“R&E”) Expenditures: Effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2024, domestic R&E expenditures may be immediately expensed under new Section 174A, reversing the prior capitalization and amortization requirement. This change may materially impact the Company’s deferred tax assets and current tax expense depending on the volume of qualifying expenditures.
As of September 26, 2026, the Company had $
Enhancement of Section 179 Expensing: The maximum Section 179 deduction is increased to $2.5 million, with a phase-out threshold beginning at $4 million. This expansion is expected to accelerate tax deductions for qualifying property and benefit capital investment strategies.
Permanent Reinstatement of 100% Bonus Depreciation: For qualified property acquired and placed in service after January 19, 2025, the Company may elect full expensing under Section 168(k), which is expected to accelerate tax deductions and reduce taxable income in applicable periods.
Modifications to FDII (now FDDEI): The deduction under Section 250 for foreign-derived intangible income is reduced to 33.34%, and eligibility criteria are narrowed. These changes may impact export-related tax incentives and deferred tax projections tied to U.S.-held IP.
The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these provisions on its financial statements and tax positions. While the changes are not expected to materially affect prior period results, they may influence future effective tax rates, deferred tax balances, and cash tax obligations. The Company incorporated these changes into its tax planning and provision calculations for fiscal year 2025 and beyond. However, the full effect of these provisions will depend on the Company's future capital expenditures, R&E activities, financing arrangements, and international operations.

There are a number of factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those forecasted or projected in such forward-looking statements. This includes the impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the war in Iran and other conflicts and potential conflicts, including economic conflicts, throughout the world, which are discussed in Item 3 of this report. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements which may be made
Critical Accounting Policies
The critical accounting policies utilized by the Company in preparation of the accompanying financial statements are set forth in Part II, Item 7 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 27, 2025, under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”. There have been no material changes to these policies since December 27, 2025.
Overview
The Company’s products contribute to the electrification of the green economy. The products we provide include baseplates for motor controllers used in high-speed electric trains, subway cars, wind turbines, hybrid and electric vehicles and the transmission of High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC). We provide hermetic packages used in radar, satellite and avionics applications. We provide lids and heat spreaders used with high performance integrated circuits in internet switches and routers. We provide armor for naval and other military applications.
We provide baseplates and housings used in modules built with Wide Band Gap Semiconductors like SiC and GaN. CPS also assembles housings and packages for hybrid circuits. These housings and packages may include MMC components; they may include components made of more traditional materials such as aluminum, copper-tungsten, and others.
CPS’s products are custom rather than catalog items. They are made to customers’ designs and are used as components in systems built and sold by our customers. At any point in time our product mix will consist of some products with on-going production demand, and some products which are in the prototyping or evaluation stages at our customers. The Company seeks to have a portfolio of products which include products in every stage of the technology adoption lifecycle at our customers. CPS’s growth is dependent upon the level of demand for those products already in production, as well as its success in achieving new "design wins" for future products.
As a manufacturer of highly technical and custom products, the Company incurs fixed costs needed to support the business, but which do not vary significantly with changes in sales volume. These costs include the fixed costs of applications such as engineering, tooling design and fabrication, process engineering, and others. Accordingly, particularly given our size, changes in sales volume generally result in even greater changes in financial performance on a percentage basis as fixed costs are spread over a larger or smaller base. Sales volume is therefore a key financial metric used by management.
The Company believes the underlying demand for MMCs is growing as the electronics and other industries seek higher performance, higher reliability, and reduced costs. CPS believes that the Company is well positioned to offer our solutions to current and new customers as these demands grow.
Results of Operations for the Third Fiscal Quarter of 2026 (Q3 2026) Compared to the Third Fiscal Quarter of 2025 (Q3 2025); (all $ in 000’s)
Revenues totaled $8,900 in Q3 2026 compared with $8,804 generated in Q3 2025, an increase of 1%. The increase was primarily driven by higher demand for components used in the semiconductor capital equipment and defense supply chains. This growth was partially offset by lower order volumes from certain customers that use baseplates in power electronics, following significant growth in demand from those customers in 2025.
Gross profit in Q3 2026 totaled $1,856 or 21% of sales. This compares with a gross profit in Q3 2025 of $1,503 or 17% of sales. The gross profit percentage improvement came from a combination of sales mix and price improvements.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses totaled $1,499 in Q3 2026 compared with SG&A expenses of $1,226 in Q3 2025. The increase was primarily due to the operating lease expense associated with the new Attleboro facility, marketing expenses and one-time legal costs.
The Company reported operating income of $358 in Q3 2026, compared to $276 in Q3 2025, primarily reflecting improved gross margins discussed above. Other income, consisting primarily of interest income, increased to $163 during Q3 2026 from $45 during Q3 2025, reflecting higher interest earned on the proceeds from two recent capital issues. After an income tax charge of $174, net income was $347 for Q3 2026, compared with $208 in Q3 2025.
Results of Operations for the First Nine Months of 2026 Compared to the First Nine Months of 2025 (all $ in 000s)
Total revenue was $24,239 in the first nine months of 2026, a $149 decline compared with total revenue of $24,388 in the same period for 2025. This decline happened in Q1 2026 which saw a reduction in demand from one major customer which is recovering as the year progresses.
Gross profit in the first nine months of 2026 totaled $3,692 or 15% of sales, compared with $4,070, or 17% of sales, for the first nine months of 2025. The decrease in gross margin percentage was partly attributable to higher gold prices, which increased 40% compared with 2025. Higher gold costs without a corresponding markup caused the gross profit percentage to decline. We also saw increases in other material costs that were partially offset by improved labor and overhead costs compared with the prior year.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $4,116 during the first nine months of 2026, up $589 compared with SG&A expenses of $3,527 in the first nine months of 2025. These increases were primarily attributable to operating lease expense associated with the new lease in Attleboro in Q3, the business development and legal costs during Q2 and Q3, as well as the new CFO search and higher foreign exchange costs in Q1.
The higher material and SG&A costs resulted in an operating loss of ($423) in 2026 compared with an operating profit of $543 in 2025.
During the first nine months of 2026, the Company had net other income of $456 from interest income compared with net other income of $115 during the same period in 2025. The increase in net other income was primarily attributable to higher interest income earned on the investment proceeds from the capital raises completed in the fourth quarter of 2025 and May 2026.
In the first nine months of 2026 the Company had net income of $90 compared with net income of $408 in the same period last year.
CPS does not rely on raw materials from Ukraine, Russia, Israel or Gaza. As a result, we do not believe that the Russian invasion of Ukraine or the conflict in Israel and Gaza will have a direct impact on our results. Nevertheless, there could be an indirect impact regarding supply chain and inflationary issues as a result of these conflicts.
Inflation has impacted our costs. Thus far, we have been able to pass along these increases to our customers, but there is no guarantee that we will be able to continue this in the future. In addition, there is often a lag between when the costs increase and when we can adjust customer prices. Some of our larger customers will have pricing agreements, typically for one year, and we must wait for those agreements to end before making any pricing adjustments. Further, several of our larger customers buy from our major competitor in Japan. The impact of the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates can create situations where our pricing to foreign customers can be more or less competitive as compared to our Japanese competitor.
We are beginning to see an impact of tariffs on our cost structure. While many of our raw materials are sourced domestically, we are seeing instances where the domestic supplier is able to raise prices due to the impact of tariffs on prices charged by their foreign competitors. While the overall impact of these cost increases is relatively small, they are still enough to impact our margins. Given that our major competitor is from outside the U.S., our ability to pass on these cost increases to our foreign customers is somewhat limited.
These factors combine to create a higher degree of uncertainty regarding future financial performance.
Liquidity and Capital Resources (all $ in 000’s unless noted)
The Company’s liquid assets at September 26, 2026 consist of cash and cash equivalents of $3,301 and marketable debt securities with a fair value of $15,613. This compares to cash and cash equivalents at December 27, 2025 of $4,466 and $8,769 marketable debt securities. The increase in liquidity came from a capital raise on May 29, 2026 involving the issuance of 1,200,000 shares of common stock for net proceeds of $8,958.
Accounts receivable at September 26, 2026 totaled $4,703 compared with $5,235 at December 27, 2025. Days sales outstanding (DSO) decreased from 61 days at the end of 2025 to 48 days at the end of Q3 2026. The decrease in DSO was primarily due to the timing and mix of sales and related customer collections during the period. The accounts receivable balances at September 26, 2026 and December 27, 2025 are both net of an allowance for credit losses of $10.
Inventories totaled $10,320 at September 26, 2026 compared with inventory totaling $5,598 at December 27, 2025. The inventory turnover in the most recent four quarters ending Q3 2026 was 3.7 times (based on a 5 quarter end average) compared with 5.4 times averaged during the four quarters of 2025. Finished goods inventory increased primarily due to the planned build of inventory for products supported by long-term customer orders. The additional inventory is intended to maintain continuity of customer supply during the Company’s planned facility relocation and associated production transition.
The Company expects it will continue to be able to fund its operations for the remainder of 2026 from operations and existing cash balances. In addition, the Company anticipates approximately $10 million in capital expenditures during 2027 related to the build-out of its Attleboro facility, a portion of which is expected to be reimbursable through the $3.2 million tenant improvement allowance provided under the lease. The Company expects to fund these expenditures through existing cash balances, proceeds from the liquidation or maturity of marketable securities, and cash generated from operations.
The Company continues to sell to a limited number of customers and the loss of any one of these customers could cause the Company to require additional external financing. Failure to generate sufficient revenues, raise additional capital or reduce certain discretionary spending could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to achieve its business objectives.
Management believes that existing cash balances will be sufficient to fund our cash requirements for the foreseeable future. However, there is no assurance that we will be able to generate sufficient revenues or reduce certain discretionary spending in the event that planned operational goals are not met such that we will be able to meet our obligations as they become due.
Contractual Obligations (all $ in 000’s unless otherwise noted)
The Company has a line of credit (LOC) in the amount of $3.0 million with Rockland Trust Company. The LOC is secured by the accounts receivable and other assets of the Company and has an interest rate of the National Prime Rate as published by the Wall Street Journal (6.75% on 9/26/2026). On September 26, 2026, the Company had $0 of borrowings under this LOC and its borrowing base at the time would have permitted an additional $3.0 million to have been borrowed.
In March 2020, the Company acquired a scanning acoustic microscope for a price of $208 thousand. The full amount was financed through a 5 year note payable with a financing company. This note was paid in full in the first quarter of 2025.
The Company currently leases its manufacturing facility in Norton, Massachusetts, under an operating lease expiring in February 2028. During Q3 2026, the Company entered into a lease for an approximately 80,000 square-foot manufacturing facility in Attleboro, Massachusetts, with a lease term extending through March 2039. The Company expects to incur approximately $10 million in costs during 2027 to prepare the new facility for occupancy, of which up to $3.2 million may be reimbursed by the landlord under the terms of the lease. The Company anticipates relocating its operations toward the end of 2027, with base rent payments under the new lease beginning in December 2027.
CPS also has a few other leases for equipment which are minor in nature and are generally short-term in duration. None of these have been capitalized. (Note 9, Leases)

ITEM 3 |
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
The Company is not significantly exposed to the direct impact of interest rate changes or foreign currency fluctuations. Nevertheless, one of the Company’s major competitors is located in Japan. The relative strength of the US dollar versus the Japanese yen can have a negative impact on the Company’s ability to raise prices when necessary to offset increasing costs. The Company has not used derivative financial instruments.
Although CPS has not been directly impacted by the war in Ukraine, potential supply chain disruptions and its impact on energy costs are areas where we could be impacted in the future.
Inflation and the impact of tariffs on our costs is an area where we have seen some affect on our business. We have seen price increases in commodity raw materials, such as aluminum, as well as increases in other costs of doing business. As we receive new orders we have been able to pass on most of these costs to our customers. Fortunately, raw materials make up a smaller portion of our overall costs. While they provide a headwind to our profitability, they are a relatively small factor in that total equation. As inflation continues or new tariffs are put in place, our ability to continue to absorb higher costs by raising customer prices cannot be guaranteed.
