EMCORE Corporation (EMKR) posted a wider loss than expected last night and traders are punishing the stock, sending it plunging down 25% through support of the 200 day moving average.  While revenues were about inline with analyst estimates at $50 million, the EPS number was deeper in the red than what analysts expected.  EMKR posted a loss of .12/share vs the estimate for a loss of .04.  With revenues stagnating and the EPS losses increasing again, this is a company that isn’t going to hit profitability quite as quick as traders had believed when the stock soared earlier in the year.

Looking ahead to next quarter the company is expecting revenues in the range of $51 – $55 million which is about what analysts expect ($54 million).
