Prosper Stars & Stripes Christopher E. Hillary | “nLIGHT (LASR) was the second-largest contributor in our long book in the quarter. The company is one of the leading providers of high-power lasers for mission-critical directed energy (DE) and optical” | BULL | Q1 2026 May 29, 2026 | View Pitch |
Meridian Contrarian Fund ArrowMark Partners | “nLIGHT, Inc. is a leading provider of high-power lasers serving the medical, industrial, and increasingly, defense markets. We initially invested in nLight as they transitioned the company to focus on laser defense applications that shield our troops from drones and enemy missiles. This represented new high-value customers to offset commoditized applications in industrial markets overrun by Chinese-manufactured low-cost lasers. During the quarter, investors re-rated the stock higher in recognition of the growing size of nLight's addressable markets and its leadership position within them. We remain investors after trimming part of the position on strength as part of our disciplined risk management process. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9} BSD Analysis: LASR's pivot to defense lasers expands TAM and improves margin quality. Program wins and DoD funding visibility are catalysts; industrial commoditization risk is receding. Balance sheet is solid; operating leverage should emerge with scale.” | BULL | Q3 2025 Sep 30, 2025 | View Pitch |
