NAPCO Security Techs (NASDAQ:NSSC) stock is taking a beating on Monday following the release of preliminary results for its fiscal Q4 earnings report.

The company starts that off with a preliminary revenue estimate of $44.7 million for the quarter. For the record, that would have it missing Wall Street’s revenue estimate of $48.09 million for the period. That’s despite NAPCO Security Techs noting that it would be a quarterly revenue record for it.

In addition to that, the company is expecting net income for the quarter to range from $10 million to $11 million. It also points out that it has $67 million of cash and cash equivalents, investments, and marketable securities on record with no debt.

NSSC Restated Results
