KVH Falls On Q4 Warning

KVH Industries (KVHI) shares are trading lower after the company warned that Q4 revenues will fall short of Street expectations.

For Q3, the company posted revenue of $27.8 million and non-GAAP profits of 11 cents a share; the Street has been expecting $28 million and 6 cents.

For Q4, KVH sees revenue of $26.5 million to $28.5 million, and profits of 2-6 cents a share; the Street has been projecting $30 million and 13 cents. The company, which makes both mobile communications and defense electronics products, said Q4 “will be more challenging that we had anticipated a few months ago,” noting that sales of fiber optic gyros, which are used in remote weapon systems, will be lower than expected.

KVHI is off $1.41, or 8.8%, to $14.56.
