Summary · why it matters

Wolfspeed shares tumbled 15.2% through 11:40 a.m. ET Thursday after the silicon carbide power module-maker badly missed fiscal Q4 2026 earnings expectations. Analysts had expected a loss of $0.52 per share on sales of $223.6 million, but Wolfspeed reported a loss of $2.26 per share on revenue of just $149.6 million. Revenue plunged 24% year over year, and gross profit margin turned negative at 25%, meaning the company lost $1.25 for every dollar of sales before operating costs. The GAAP net loss was even worse at $2.81 per share. Management guided to about $150 million in revenue for fiscal Q1 2027, nearly flat with Q4, suggesting the AI-driven data center growth that more than doubled year-over-year in fiscal 2026 has stalled.
