    Earnings call transcript: Research Frontiers Q2 2026 shares fall as supply woes linger

    Research Frontiers' shares fell significantly after its Q2 2026 earnings call, where the company revealed that royalty revenue declined sharply due to prolonged supply disruption at Gauzy, its principal SPD film manufacturer, which is undergoing financial restructuring. Despite the operational setback, management assured investors that customer demand and major automotive and aircraft programs remain intact, with Gauzy expected to resume normal production by late September 2026. Research Frontiers is exploring contingency plans for film production and aims to regain Nasdaq compliance through improved business performance rather than a reverse stock split.
