PLAB ACTIVE INVESTIGATION: Lost Money on Photronics, Inc.? Contact Levi & Korsinsky Now Ready to Announce with Confidence?
New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - June 1, 2026) - Levi & Korsinsky notifies investors that it has commenced an investigation into Photronics, Inc. ("Photronics, Inc.") (NASDAQ: PLAB) concerning potential violations of the federal securities laws.
On February 27, 2026, President & CFO Eric Rivera guided investors to expect fiscal Q2 non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.49 to $0.55 and operating margins of 22% to 24%. Rivera acknowledged that the Company operates with only 1-to-3 weeks of backlog visibility. The guidance did not quantify known cost headwinds, including accelerated depreciation tied to end-of-life tool purchases and rising capital expenditures. CEO George Macricostas told investors the Company was "optimistic" that "high-end strength will continue" to offset seasonal effects from Chinese New Year.
When Q2 results arrived on May 28, 2026, non-GAAP diluted EPS was $0.42 -- well below the low end of the projected range. Revenue of $209.9 million landed beneath the Company's prior quarterly expectations for $212 to $220 million. PLAB shares fell approximately 30% in a single session.

UPDATE: On March 5, the SEC issued an Exemptive Order (Release No. 34-104931) providing significant relief for FPIs in "qualifying jurisdictions," including Canada . Because the SEC now recognizes Canada’s reporting standards as "substantially similar," most Canadian directors and officers are exempt from the Section 16(a) filings described below.
