Eltek Q1 Net Loss $2.9M; Revenue $10.4M

AI Summary

Eltek Ltd. reported a net loss of $2.9 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, on revenues of $10.4 million for the first quarter of 2026. This compares to a net income of $1.0 million and revenues of $12.8 million in the first quarter of 2025. The company attributed the adverse results to the sharp depreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Israeli shekel, which increased operating expenses by approximately $1.3 million, as well as a challenging security environment, temporary logistical constraints, and late phasing of its order backlog. Despite the poor quarterly performance, the CEO noted significant growth in the order backlog and anticipated gradual improvement in logistical challenges.
