SemiLEDs returns to profit on higher Q3 2026 revenue
SemiLEDs Corporation filed an amended current report to correct a clerical error where the box for a change in certifying accountant was inadvertently checked; no such event occurred and there is no disclosure under that item.
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
SemiLEDs Corporation filed an amended current report to correct a clerical error where the box for a change in certifying accountant was inadvertently checked; no such event occurred and there is no disclosure under that item.
For the third quarter of fiscal 2026 ended May 31, 2026, revenue was $9.1 million, up from $1.1 million in the second quarter. GAAP net income attributable to stockholders was $1.5 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $603 thousand, or $(0.07) per diluted share, in the prior quarter. GAAP gross margin improved to 27% from 1%, and operating margin moved to 16% from negative 79%.
Cash and cash equivalents were $6.0 million at May 31, 2026, compared with $4.0 million at the end of the second quarter. Total shareholders’ equity increased to $3.1 million from $1.5 million. Management attributes higher third-quarter revenue mainly to increased buy-sell purchase orders of equipment and anticipates more such orders in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026.
Positive
- Revenue rose to $9.1 million from $1.1 million quarter-over-quarter, driving a swing from a net loss to $1.5 million of net income and a positive 16% operating margin.
- Cash and cash equivalents increased to $6.0 million from $4.0 million, and shareholders’ equity roughly doubled to $3.1 million, strengthening the balance sheet.
Negative
- None.
Filing Explained
The amendment leaves the third-quarter results unchanged, but states that the attached press release is furnished under Item 2.02 and is not deemed filed for Exchange Act Section 18 purposes or incorporated by reference unless expressly specified.

Financial Results
Hsinchu, Taiwan (July 14, 2026)— SemiLEDs Corporation (NASDAQ: LEDS), “SemiLEDs” or the “Company,” a developer and manufacturer of LED chips and LED components, today announced its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2026, ended May 31, 2026.
Revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 was $9.1 million, compared to $1.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2026. GAAP net income attributable to SemiLEDs stockholders for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 was $1.5 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $603 thousand, or $(0.07) per diluted share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2026.
GAAP gross margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 was 27%, compared to 1% for the second quarter of fiscal 2026. Operating margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 was 16%, compared with negative 79% for the second quarter of fiscal 2026. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents were $6.0 million at May 31, 2026, compared to $4.0 million at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2026.
Our revenue was higher in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2026, due to the increase of buy-sell purchase orders of equipment. We anticipate more buy-sell purchase orders in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026.
