Syntec Optics (Nasdaq: OPTX) Doubles Production for Commercial Satellite Laser Optics to Meet Surging Space Demand

$OPTXPress releaseOct 26, 2026, 8:03 AM ETRead the release

Syntec Optics announced nearly a 2x year-over-year increase in commercial satellite laser optics production volume shipping in 2026 versus 2025, and is releasing on-hand reserve inventory alongside scheduled orders. The company cites surging satellite-communication demand, including new U.S. regulatory approvals enabling direct-to-phone satellite connectivity. CFO Dean Rudy said adjusted EBITDA has expanded to double digits, allowing organic growth to be funded from operating cash flow, and the $14 million in cash on the balance sheet remains unused with existing facility capacity supporting further top-line growth.
