NasdaqCM:ALMU Revenue & Expenses Breakdown as at May 2026
NasdaqCM:ALMU Revenue & Expenses Breakdown as at May 2026

Losses Stay Steady Around US$1.8 Million

  • Q3 2026 net loss was US$1.8 million, very similar to Q2 2026 at US$1.853 million and Q1 2026 at US$1.493 million, while trailing 12 month losses came to US$6.004 million.
  • Analysts' consensus view expects revenue to grow rapidly and earnings to improve, yet the trailing figures still show multi year losses rising by about 18.3% per year, which means:
    • The forecast shift from a current loss of US$6.004 million over the last 12 months to positive earnings within three years asks you to look past these repeated quarterly losses.
    • With trailing 12 month revenue at US$5.196 million, the consensus expectation of much faster growth highlights a gap between what the business earns today and what is assumed in models.

TTM Revenue Of US$5.2 Million Versus Rich P/B Of 12.2x

  • Over the last 12 months, Aeluma generated US$5.196 million of revenue and reported a loss of US$6.004 million, while the stock trades on a P/B of 12.2x compared with 5.5x for peers and 6.2x for the US Semiconductor industry.
  • What stands out for bullish investors is that forecasts of about 69.2% annual revenue growth and 89.51% annual earnings growth are being weighed against this higher multiple, which means:
    • Bulls argue that expected profitability within three years and strong growth can justify paying above peer and industry P/B levels, even with current losses.
    • Critics point out that, at the current US$26.65 share price, the assumed upside to the analyst target of US$27.50 is modest, so a lot of the growth story already appears reflected in the valuation.

Bulls watching these Q3 numbers often focus on the high growth forecasts and premium valuation, and if you want to see how that optimistic case is built from the ground up, it is worth reading the detailed bull thesis for Aeluma 🐂 Aeluma Bull Case

EPS Swings And Volatile Share Price

  • Basic EPS moved from a profit of US$0.12 in Q3 2025 to losses between roughly US$0.05 and US$0.24 per share across the subsequent quarters, with trailing 12 month EPS at US$0.35 in losses and the share price at US$26.65 after a highly volatile three month stretch.
  • Skeptics focus on this volatility and the growing loss history, arguing that these swings challenge the bullish growth story, because:
    • Losses have expanded by about 18.3% per year over the past five years, which contrasts with the expectation of a sharp earnings improvement toward US$9.0 million by around 2028.
    • Shareholder dilution over the past year means any future earnings recovery will be spread over a larger share count, which matters when comparing the current price to those future EPS assumptions.
