Standing thesis

The standing, falsifiable read: what has to stay true, and what would break it.

Turnaround

Intact: The reason to own it still holds.

The bull case

Lensar aims to grow recurring revenue by selling more systems. Revenue guidance is $12.6 million for Q2 2026. The company secured a credit line for capital needs. The stock price has risen 9% in the last month.

The bear case

Lensar is still losing money and revenue fell from $16M to $13.4M. The CFO recently left and earnings have missed estimates. The merger with Alcon was terminated, showing challenges. Revenue growth may not recover as hoped.

What's priced in

The market expects about 18% revenue growth next year. Our fair value is near $17.50, reflecting cautious optimism. The stock trades at a discount to peers with high risk.
