Optical Cable Corporation (US6826951044) closed at USD 14.82 on Nasdaq on September 20, 2026, down 0.67 percent from USD 14.92. The move leaves the fiber-optic cable maker well above its 52-week low of USD 4.02 but below its high of USD 27.98.

Revenue reached USD 73.04 million

The latest annual figures shown by Reuters on September 22, 2026, put fiscal 2025 revenue at USD 73.038 million, up from USD 66.674 million in fiscal 2024. That is an increase of USD 6.364 million, or 9.5 percent, while gross profit rose to USD 22.573 million from USD 18.178 million.

The earnings picture remains uneven. Net income was a loss of USD 1.455 million in fiscal 2025, compared with a loss of USD 4.210 million in fiscal 2024, so the loss narrowed by USD 2.755 million. The comparison gives investors a measurable improvement in profitability, but it still leaves the company below break-even on a full-year basis.

Small-cap valuation remains exposed

The same September 20 market snapshot lists market capitalization at USD 131.04 million and trading volume at 174,225 shares. With fiscal 2025 revenue of USD 73.038 million, the reported equity value is about 1.8 times annual revenue, a simple market comparison rather than a valuation recommendation.

The share price also sits in the lower half of its 52-week range. At USD 14.82, it is USD 13.16 below the 52-week high and USD 10.80 above the low, while the daily loss of 0.67 percent shows a modest pullback in the dated quote.

Stock stays below its yearly high

For investors, the central contrast is between improving historical revenue and continuing annual net losses. The fiscal 2025 revenue increase of 9.5 percent and the USD 2.755 million reduction in the net loss provide operating progress, while the USD 131.04 million market capitalization keeps the stock sensitive to changes in earnings expectations.

Optical Cable Corporation stock stood at USD 14.82 on Nasdaq as of September 20, 2026, with a 52-week range of USD 4.02 to USD 27.98.
