Velo3D shares jump on Q1 results, margin improvement, and reaffirmed 2026 outlook

Velo3D, Inc. (VELO) is up 49.4% today. Here is some analysis on what might have caused this price movement.

Analysis: The move appears tied to Velo3D’s first-quarter 2026 earnings update released after the prior close, which showed sharply higher revenue year over year and a meaningful improvement in profitability metrics. Investors also appeared to react to management reaffirming full-year revenue guidance and reiterating a goal of positive EBITDA in the second half of 2026.

Details:

Velo3D reported Q1 2026 revenue of $13.8 million, up from $9.3 million in Q1 2025.

The company posted a Q1 2026 gross margin of 17.2%, improving from 7.5% in the year-ago quarter, alongside a substantially narrower GAAP net loss.

Velo3D reaffirmed its 2026 revenue outlook of $60 million to $70 million and maintained its expectation to turn EBITDA positive in the second half of 2026.

The company also highlighted recent developments including a $9.8 million, five-year IDIQ contract supporting a Defense Logistics Agency additive manufacturing pilot program and the closing of a $50 million registered direct offering in April 2026.
