Wolfspeed Shares Plunge Following Disastrous Earnings Report
Yahoo Finance ·
Shares of silicon carbide power module manufacturer Wolfspeed (WOLF) tumbled 15.2% by 11:40 a.m. ET Thursday following a severe earnings miss released the previous night. Ahead of the fiscal Q4 2026 report, Wall Street analysts had already anticipated weak results, projecting a loss of $0.52 per share on $223.6 million in revenue. However, the actual figures proved significantly worse. Wolfspeed reported a loss of $2.26 per share—four times greater than expected—while revenue reached only $149.6 million. Top-line revenue plummeted 24% year over year, accompanied by a negative gross profit margin that worsened to 25%. This meant the company lost $1.25 on every $1 of sales before accounting for operating expenses. Under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the net loss widened further to $2.81 per share, overshadowing any minor year-over-year improvements.
