CVD Equipment Q3 revenue falls to $1.58M; net loss $1.49M
Cash and equivalents were $23.451 million at September 30, 2026; the chairman said the company had no outstanding debt.
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.
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
CVD Equipment Corporation (CVV) reported third-quarter 2026 revenue of $1.583 million, compared with $5.681 million a year earlier, and a net loss of $1.491 million versus net income of $384,000. Gross profit was $146,000, compared with $1.818 million. Continuing operations recorded a $2.106 million loss, versus income of $118,000 in the 2025 quarter. For the first nine months of 2026, net income was $9.411 million versus a $317,000 loss, while continuing operations recorded a $5.203 million loss versus $1.387 million.
Cash and equivalents were $23.451 million at September 30, 2026. Chairman Lawrence J. Waldman said the company had no outstanding debt following the sale of the SDC business; discontinued operations contributed $14.614 million for the first nine months. CVD Equipment recorded $762,000 in restructuring charges and said it took additional workforce and cost-structure actions. The Board continues to evaluate strategic alternatives, while CBRE has been engaged to market the Central Islip and Saugerties properties. The company says it is focused on completing its equipment backlog and warranty obligations and supporting its spare-parts, quartz, and services businesses.
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.

CVD Equipment Provides Strategic Update and Reports Third Quarter 2026 Results
CENTRAL ISLIP, N.Y. (Business Wire) – November 5, 2026 – CVD Equipment Corporation (NASDAQ: CVV) (the “Company”) today provided an update on its go-forward business strategy and reported its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026.
Strategic Update
| ● | As previously announced, the Company will no longer pursue new system orders for its CVD Equipment business and continues to evaluate strategic alternatives. |
| ● | The Company has further reduced its workforce to a level aligned with completing the remaining equipment backlog, satisfying warranty obligations, and supporting its ongoing spare parts, quartz, and services business. The Company continues to make progress toward achieving these objectives. |
| ● | CBRE, Inc., a commercial real estate services firm, has been engaged to market the Company’s owned real estate properties in Central Islip and Saugerties, New York, for sale. |
Financial Update
| ● | The Company ended the quarter with approximately $23.5 million of cash and cash equivalents and no outstanding debt. |
| ● | Reflecting the $14.1 million net gain on the sale of SDC in the second quarter of 2026, the Company reported net income of $9.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026. |
Lawrence J. Waldman, CVD’s Chairman of the Board, commented: “With a strengthened balance sheet resulting from our sale of the SDC business and no outstanding debt, the Board continues to evaluate strategic alternatives and pursue the disciplined monetization of the Company’s assets. The engagement of CBRE to market our Central Islip and Saugerties properties represents another important step in that process.”
|

Warren Cheesman, Acting Chief Executive Officer of CVD Equipment Corporation, stated, “During the quarter, we took further actions to align our workforce and cost structure with the Company’s current operating requirements. We remain focused on completing the existing equipment backlog, satisfying warranty obligations, and supporting our ongoing spare parts, quartz, and services business.”
Third Quarter 2026 Performance
Balance Sheet
| ● | Cash increased to $23.5 million from $8.7 million at December 31, 2025, reflecting proceeds from the SDC divestiture. |
| ● | Stockholders’ equity increased to $34.6 million at September 30, 2026 from $24.7 million at December 31, 2025. |
Operations (excluding the discontinued operations of SDC)
| ● | Bookings were $0.7 million, compared with $1.0 million in the third quarter of 2025, due to lower system orders. |
| ● | Revenue was $1.6 million, a decrease of 72.1% from the prior-year quarter, primarily reflecting lower system revenue from reduced bookings. |
| ● | Gross margin was 9.2% versus 32.0% in the prior-year quarter, principally due to lower system revenue and the resulting impact of fixed manufacturing costs on a reduced revenue base, partially offset by an increase in non-system revenue. |
| ● | Backlog was $3.0 million at September 30, 2026, as compared to $3.9 million at June 30, 2026. |
| ● | Restructuring charges were $0.8 million and consisted primarily of severance costs, asset impairments and legal and board-related costs associated with the Company’s decision to discontinue the pursuit of new system orders and reduce its workforce. |
Net (Loss) Income
| ● | Net loss from continuing operations was $2.1 million, or ($0.30) per basic and diluted share, compared with net income from continuing operations of $0.1 million, or $0.02 per basic and diluted share, in the prior-year quarter. The net loss in the current quarter includes the restructuring charge of $0.8 million. |
|
enabling tomorrow’s technologies™ |
| ● | Net income from discontinued operations was $0.6 million, or $0.09 per basic and diluted share, primarily due to a change in the estimate of income taxes payable related to the gain on the sale of SDC. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, income from discontinued operations was $14.6 million, including a $14.1 million net gain on the SDC divestiture. |
Investor Conference Calls
The Company is not holding an investor call this quarter and expects to hold investor calls in connection with significant corporate developments, as appropriate.
