Release – NN, Inc. Announces Major Breakthrough in its Medical Business

Posted on July 6, 2026July 6, 2026 by [email protected]

NN to manufacture critical components for a leading robotic-assisted surgery platform

CHARLOTTE, N.C., July 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NN, Inc. (NASDAQ: NNBR) (“NN” or the “Company”), a global diversified industrial company that engineers, co-develops and manufactures precision components and assemblies with six sigma quality, today provided an update on developments in its Medical Products business, one of the Company’s key targeted growth markets. The components of the Medical Products growth program are:

Specialized quality control systems in the plants that make medical products
Dedicated, specialized CNC machining equipment
Dedicated special purpose floor space
Medical industry experts on staff
Attendance at top medical device shows
State-of-the-art stainless steel machined products
Global footprint in North America, China, South America, Europe

NN has achieved awards to support major OEMs in Ultrasound, Interventional Cardiology, Sports Medicine & Extremity Solutions, and Robotic-Assisted Surgery. Robotic-Assisted Surgery is a new breakthrough area of success and the focus of this press release. NN has now become qualified and has received initial POs tied to a leading robotic-assisted surgery platform. This momentum complements NN’s legacy medical work in surgical instruments, orthopedic tools/components, electrosurgical products, suture-related products, and precision medical components.

A recent and most difficult step to entering the Robot-Assisted Surgery market was passing a critical full-facility audit at NN’s Kentwood, Michigan plant. Successfully passing this audit was made possible by completing a multi-year investment program and installing a new quality system. With this new medical certification now steady-state, a large and well-known new customer has released its first purchase orders to NN, with immediate delivery and ramp-up requirements. This also provides NN with references and an avenue to quote and win additional programs.

With this new customer, the new medical certification, and new medical products, NN’s medical new business pipeline has increased in size by ~$25 million and is now approximately $75 million overall. This is now a meaningful component of NN’s total corporate new business pipeline of >$750 million which includes all products for all markets.

Robotic-assisted surgery is the fastest-growing method of surgical care, expanding at double-digit annual rates in the United States. The underlying growth of this key market reflects a strong secular growth opportunity for precision component suppliers like NN that possess the critical engineering capability, quality systems, and global manufacturing footprint to serve it. NN is uniquely positioned to participate in medical market growth as a qualified manufacturer. NN is actively investing into the medical market with dedicated staff, tradeshow attendance, additional equipment, and new products.

Harold Bevis, President and Chief Executive Officer of NN, Inc., commented, “This is a milestone event for NN’s medical products growth program and a direct payoff on the investments we have made over the last three years to establish a premier presence in this medical market. We needed to upgrade our quality system to the medical level and we have done it.

“Medical Products is one of our five targeted growth markets and we have been very deliberate about building the capabilities required to compete and win. This includes specialized machines, dedicated floor space, certified quality systems, and a dedicated medical team. Passing this full facility quality audit and securing our first newly associated purchase orders to make precision components for a leading robotic surgery platform is a good step forward for NN.”

Bevis continued, “Our precision stainless steel machining expertise supports these new markets well. We are successfully executing on our stated growth goals in the medical products market, and we intend to both grow with this particular customer, as well as more fully participate in the broader medical market.

“This medical products achievement is consistent with our growth program overall. We are partnering for long-term success with OEM category winners. We are successfully building the Company’s business profile in new markets and with new customers. Safety-critical, engineered components are our core value proposition. We support it with a clever team, material science, six sigma quality, and global manufacturing footprint. The medical products achievements announced today, combined with the strong momentum we are experiencing in data center and defense, continue to demonstrate that our entrepreneurial breakout growth program is working well.”

Bevis concluded, “NN is underway with a multi-year program of growing its business into new areas. It is awesome to have the Medical Products portion of the 5 Pillar growth program achieving breakthrough victories. The 5 pillars of break-out growth continue to be: data center and electric grid, defense and electronics, medical products, high-value vehicle products, and high-value stamped products.

We will combine this Medical Product new win information with our recent new wins in Data Center and adjust 2026 sales, adjusted EBITDA, and New Wins guidance, if needed, during NN’s next business and guidance update in August. We look forward to discussing this big advancement during that time.”

Release – NN, Inc. Announces Significant New Awards for its NVIDIA Data Center Liquid Cooled Products Business

Posted on June 29, 2026June 29, 2026 by [email protected]

CHARLOTTE, N.C., June 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NN, Inc. (“NN” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: NNBR), a global diversified industrial company that engineers and manufactures high-precision components and assemblies with six sigma quality, today provided an update on its rapidly growing Data Center business. NN’s combined Data Center and Electric Grid business is already its 2^nd largest business, with a further goal to grow the business into the Company’s largest business by sales. The Data Center & Electric Grid end markets are top targeted growth markets for the Company along with Medical products and Defense and Electronics products.

NN has secured a significant amount of additional 2026 immediate-supply awards for liquid cooling products that go into NVIDIA AI data center racks. The new awards in this announcement are additive to prior communicated awards and greatly increase the size of NN’s liquid cooling product portfolio for AI data center racks.

NN is on its way to having 52 dedicated machines to make liquid cooled products for its data center business. 50 machines will be dedicated production lines and an additional 2 machines will be dedicated to making samples for new business. NN has already pre-sold 100% of the production capacity. NN is continuing to prospect globally and is using its global business development team and global machining footprint to prospect for additional business in this fast-growing area. In 2026, NN has attended Data Center tradeshows in the United States, Europe, and China.

Harold Bevis, President and Chief Executive Officer of NN, Inc. commented, “The liquid-cooled AI data center market is one of our targeted end markets for growth. We announced the successful launch of a new product line in Q1 2026. It is a custom-designed, stainless-steel product line for the liquid-cooled data center market. Since then, we have secured multiple AI data center awards, have invested in an initial complement of 17 next-generation, high-speed, high-precision CNC machines at our Wuxi, China plant, and began production. We have a big set of data center products already but we are just beginning. We make products that go into both the electrical system and cooling system for Data Centers and produce these products in multiple plant locations.

Today, we are pleased to announce that we have tripled the size of the liquid cooling product line that just launched in Q1 2026. Specifically, we have secured another set of multi-year, multi-product awards for stainless-steel cooling products for the NVIDIA supply chain. NN is now underway with procuring an additional 30 new machine centers on top of the 17 new CNC machine centers we previously announced. Additionally, we have successfully repurposed and retooled 5 automotive CNC production centers to become dedicated data center production. We have a strategic goal to rotate out of commodity auto products and this accelerates the achievement of that objective.”

Bevis continued, “We are building a meaningful position in the global supply chain for liquid cooled AI systems. The Wuxi plant had approximately 200 CNC machine centers before successfully entering the data center business. These additional 47 machine centers bring the total in that plant to approximately 250 CNC machine centers when this expansion is complete. We have large aspirations with our global footprint, and the industry needs NN to scale up and supply more. The AI data center liquid cooling industry is scaling very rapidly, and we are participating in the global data center buildout. This is a natural product fit as we are experienced veterans in pressurized fluid management, stainless steel part production, exceptional repetitive quality levels at high volumes, electropolishing, abrasive flow machining, debris-free and leak-free products, and fast innovation.

We have a dedicated company effort to grow Data Center products, and we are happy to have secured our next set of new awards. This expansion and ramp up is underway now during Q2 2026 and will be additive to our 2026 sales. Based on equipment lead times, the 47^th new machine will be installed in November 2026. We are underway prospecting for additional awards and developing new products. As mentioned, the 47 new machines in this announcement will go into NN’s Wuxi, China plant and it will be supplying parts into NVIDIA’s Asia supply chain in China, Taiwan, and Vietnam. NN’s Wuxi China plant is a global low-cost plant that is well known in the metal part making industry. It is in an ideal location for supplying the metal parts that go into the global supply chain for AI data center racks. We believe these data center racks which are being produced in Asia are coming back to the US and being installed in data centers being built in the United States AI market.”

Bevis concluded, “As next generation supply chain decisions are being made in the data center industry, NN intends to use its global footprint of machining plants to participate further. This is a multi-billion market that is scaling up right now, and these computing racks are the hardware behind the expanding use of AI and cloud computing. These new awards fit within NN’s previously issued new wins guidance for achieving $80 to $90 million of accretive new business during 2026. We will combine this new information along with other information and adjust 2026 and 2027 sales and EBITDA guidance, if needed, during NN’s next business and guidance update when we release Q2 earnings in early August. We look forward to discussing this big advancement during that time.”

NN (NNBR) – The Proof is in the Pudding

Monday, May 11, 2026

Joe Gomes, CFA, Managing Director, Equity Research Analyst, Generalist , Noble Capital Markets, Inc.

Refer to the full report for the price target, fundamental analysis, and rating.

Transformation Working. NN delivered a strong start to 2026, with first-quarter results rising to the high side of expectations across many metrics, including sales growth, adjusted EBITDA, margin rates, and new business wins. The performance is a direct result of the transformation plan implemented by management in 2023. There are two sides to the coin here: a successful strategic growth program that is being internally funded and an aggressive and ongoing operational improvement program that is generating rising margins.

More To Come. Sales growth is broad. NN’s sales are up with 22 of its top 30 customers. Overall, NN has some 700 customers, and beneath the top 30 customers, business is up with that group as well. And the sales are transforming the Company from its historic automotive orientation to higher growth, higher margin specialties, such as electric grid and data centers, defense electronics, and medical. Collectively, these three markets were up 28% year-over-year in the first quarter. On a consolidated basis, the growth markets accounted for 35% of revenue in 2023 and now constitute 56% of revenue, while automotive has shrunk to 44%.

Refer to the full report for the price target, fundamental analysis, and rating.

Refund. NN announced that the Company has been notified that its CARES Act refund has been processed for payment. The refund is in excess of $10 million. This refund has been a long time in coming, but will help the Company in its growth efforts, in our view.

Growth Opportunity. The tax refund will more than offset the $10 million the Company borrowed in 1Q26 to fund certain growth areas with both capital equipment and working capital. While it is too soon to say which path the Company will follow, the tax refund could enable to further boost the abundant growth opportunities through additional investment or repay the 1Q26 borrowing.

PDF VersionNN Increases its 2026 New Business Wins guidance range to $80 to $90 million; Q1 wins heavily concentrated in Electric Grid and Data Center markets

CHARLOTTE, N.C., April 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NN, Inc. (“NN” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: NNBR), a global diversified industrial company that engineers and manufactures high-precision components and assemblies with six sigma quality, today announced that its preliminary Q1 2026 net sales results are expected to demonstrate growth versus the prior year and the Company’s forecast.

The New Business program also delivered strong results in Q1. The Company was awarded approximately $43 million of new awards at peak annual sales, centered on the Electric Grid and Data Center markets. Notably, these awards continue NN’s strong recent momentum as the Company re-positions its overall portfolio in key secular high-growth markets and away from commodity automotive markets. With the strength of NN’s new business wins in Q1 and a strong start in Q2, the Company is raising its full-year guidance range, now expecting new business wins to fall within the range of $80 million to $90 million in 2026.

The launch of more than 60 new programs has resulted in a shippable backlog as orders outpaced production during the quarter. These newly launched programs and traction in key end markets are positioning NN to drive strong net sales growth through 2026 and beyond. NN is maintaining its guidance range on net sales, expecting results to come in toward the top half of its original guidance range of $445 million to $465 million.

Harold Bevis, Chief Executive Officer and President of NN, Inc., commented, “NN’s sales are growing as expected and trending towards the high end of our previously guided range. Electric Grid, Data Center, Defense, and Electronics end markets are doing well, while global auto is stabilizing. Additionally, we are underway with industrializing a large portion of our previously awarded growth programs. This is expected to support our sales growth targets for 2026 and beyond. These sales are being produced through a lower cost operating model that is strengthening margins. With the large value of Electric Grid and Data Center new awards in Q1, we are increasing our guidance in this area to approximately $80 to $90 million of expected new sales wins secured during 2026.”

“We are targeting strong sales growth in 2026 and beyond as well as increasing the amount and share of non-commodity auto business at the Company. Overall, our end markets and customers are healthy while global auto undergoes changes. We are currently running ahead of both our 2026 and long-term goals. We look forward to providing more information on the performance of the business when we release Q1 2026 earnings, which is planned for May 6, 2026.”

The Company is finalizing its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. The above information is based on preliminary information and management’s estimates for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, and is subject to the Company’s financial statement closing procedures.

Release – NN Announces Acquisition to Further Growth in Electric Grid and Data Center

Posted on March 27, 2026March 27, 2026 by [email protected]

Research News and Market Data on NNBR

PDF Version

CHARLOTTE, N.C., March 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NN, Inc. (“NN” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: NNBR), a global diversified industrial company that engineers and manufactures high-precision components and assemblies with six sigma quality today announced that it has acquired the large-scale automated plating operations from a leading global provider of electrical infrastructure solutions. This seller is an existing customer which is moving from in-house manufacturing to outsourced operations with this decision.

The equipment acquisition will enable NN to significantly expand its processing capabilities in silver-plated busbars and terminals among other capabilities, which are ideal electrical components for electric grid and data center equipment. This further enables NN to broaden its market aperture on growth in this area, its second largest end market.

The plating line being acquired is substantially larger and more automated than NN’s current capabilities, featuring large plating baths designed for high-volume, low-cost production. The automated plating line will enable NN to process larger parts representing a transformative expansion of its product offering in terms of size, volume, and type of plated metal products that NN will be able to deliver to its electrical customers.

NN expects this new capability to be operational at an existing facility in the fall of 2026. Financially, the new business won from this line will be inclusive to the Company’s prior guidance of $70 million to $80 million of new business wins in 2026. The capex associated with this project is inclusive to the company’s capex guidance of $20 million to $22 million in 2026. The Company is funding this strategic addition from operating cash flow.

The key end markets that will be targeted with this new capability are electric grid equipment and data center equipment. The Company is initially focused on switchgear assemblies used in emergency power generation for the grid, hospitals, and data centers.

Harold Bevis, President and Chief Executive Officer of NN, Inc., commented, “This equipment acquisition is another stepping stone for NN’s strategic pivot into certain high-value verticals that fit its operational footprint. We are adding capabilities that open up the aperture for growth in the target markets of electric grid and data center. Our plating business is known in the industry as GMF and is one of the highest gross margin plants in the NN portfolio. This is accretive business for NN. The return on investment is consistent with the ROIs that we target for new business.”

Bevis continued, “This is precisely the type of high-value, capital-efficient growth opportunity that we are focused on securing as we execute our sales growth plan. GMF has a strong reputation for quality, on-time delivery, and deep expertise in the science of electroplating. This business is key to growth in electronics, defense, electric grid, and data center. This equipment is a logical addition to our capabilities and will unlock our prospecting into larger parts, higher volume parts, bigger programs, and more customers. The equipment was acquired from a long-term NN customer, that intends to repurpose its reclaimed floor space as data center and grid infrastructure markets take off, so this is a win-win for all parties.”

“This acquisition is consistent with NN’s broader strategic transformation plan, which has already delivered three consecutive years of improved adjusted EBITDA. The Company has exited dilutive, lower-value business and is actively replacing that rationalized volume with higher-margin, accretive new growth through engineering-led new products and new program wins. NN has secured more than $200 million of new awards from its technology-based new business development program, and NN expects to launch approximately 100 awarded programs during 2026. Launched in mid-2023 under new management, the new business program is focused on leveraging the Company’s technology and operational footprint strengths into new areas. The Company is guiding to a fourth consecutive year of improved adjusted EBITDA and a materially higher amount of operating cash flow.”

Bevis continued, “NN has a couple of other small acquisitions that we are focused upon and have been working on for about a year. They are also focused on non-automotive, high-value capability expansion and profitable growth. Over the last two years most of our operating cash flow was consumed by four plant closures and severing about 800 people, which was tough and brutal for those impacted but necessary for NN’s transition.

We have turned the page onto a new chapter and have a balanced approach to our revenue growth and repositioning. We are pursuing a few target markets that require safety critical features on linchpin metal parts and assemblies. We are extremely committed to a common engineering and manufacturing platform that can deliver value-added metal part solutions in several safety-critical end markets that offer high margins due to delivering high value. These include:

High-value auto parts – our #1 end market
Electric grid and data center parts – our #2 market, on a plan to become our #1 market
Defense, weapons, and electronic parts
Medical equipment parts

Bevis concluded, “We are intentionally pricing higher on low-value, low-margin business like commodity auto. Where we can, we are repurposing existing equipment, but when we must buy new equipment, we are doing so. We do not keep these kinds of records but 2026 will probably be the most amount of new equipment installed in our company. And it is all pre-loaded with new awards. The key enablers in our success are our engineering skills and our trade secrets regarding making metals deliver exceptional functionality at scale. This is code for world-class six sigma quality processes designed around error-proof, fail-proof design-for-manufacturability. We do this through our own knowledge, co-development with our customers, and emerging AI assistance. 2026 is shaping up to be a fun year focused upon engineering-driven revenue growth.”

Release – NN, Inc. Provides Update on Business Growth in the Data Center, AI Reasoning, and Cloud Computing Markets

Posted on March 18, 2026March 18, 2026 by [email protected]

Research News and Market Data on NNBR

PDF Version

CHARLOTTE, N.C., March 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NN, Inc. (“NN” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: NNBR), a global diversified industrial company that engineers and manufactures high-precision components and assemblies with six sigma quality, today provided an update on its growing presence in the data center market, a key targeted growth market for the Company.

NN has secured multiple new awards with a leading global provider of AI infrastructure and data center computing equipment. As this industry moves into liquid cooled equipment, it transitions into a natural market for NN. AI reasoning racks are based on an industry-leading chip that requires liquid cooling, and NN has secured liquid cooling positions on these AI reasoning racks which will be installed in the US for AI cloud computing. NN’s existing liquid management products precisely fit the requirements of these applications, and the demanding performance and quality requirements of AI data center and cloud customers are a direct use of the Company’s existing capabilities. Furthermore, next generation computing designs require even higher power use and even higher heat generation, which will lead to next-generation liquid-cooled computing systems and components. The Company can already make products that are advanced beyond today’s requirements. NN has delivered six sigma quality, micron-level tolerance parts for combustion engines for decades. The Company’s decades of global experience and footprint are directly applicable to this new area.

Harold Bevis, President and Chief Executive Officer of NN, Inc., commented, “The liquid-cooled data center market is one of the Company’s new end markets that it is pursuing along with medical, defense and electronics, and electric grid components. The AI data center market fits precisely into NN’s decades of know-how in fluid management and six sigma quality levels. For NN, it is a strategic and straightforward application of existing know-how with managing gas, diesel and hydraulic fluids and applying that know-how to managing cooling fluids. The material science and technical requirements are extremely similar. As we say ‘never leak, never fail’. We have been doing this successfully for decades as a leading global provider of ‘never leak, never fail’ parts that go into vehicle solutions around the world. Our reputation covers billions of parts made over several decades with many customers. We step into this arena as a formidable competitor from Day 1.”

“We have won a multi-year set of awards which is leading NN to invest in a large installation of 17 next-generation high-speed, high-precision CNC machines that will meet and exceed these requirements. This expansion and ramp up is happening now across 2026. These machines will add to NN’s portfolio of over 100 of these similar machines already in-house. We can do this type of production in the US, China, Europe, and South America. This is a gateway strategic win for NN globally. The AI data center expansion for cloud providers is happening globally. This is a multi-billion market that is hyper scaling now, and these computing racks are the hardware behind the expanding use of AI and cloud computing. Financially, these wins fit within NN’s guidance for achieving $70 to $80 million of accretive new business during 2026. These wins contribute to achieving that goal globally.”

“NN is intentionally shifting its business mix into non-automotive, higher-growth, higher-margin markets. The data center AI reasoning computing approaches use a high amount of power and generate a high level of heat. Liquid cooling and cooling fluid management are vital to the success of these approaches, and NN is an expert at handling fluids under these 24/7 operating conditions. The series of wins that NN is announcing today validates that the Company’s capabilities are directly applicable to these customers and this market. ‘Never leak, never fail’. This is precisely the type of accretive, high-value business that we have been intentionally pursuing as part of our ongoing revenue transformation, and we believe it positions NN for a better future with sustained top line growth and continued margin expansion. We are actively prospecting with other AI reasoning and data center equipment providers. Additionally, the fast-charge Electric Vehicle recharging approaches have the same basic issue; they use a lot of power and quickly create a lot of heat, and liquid cooling approaches are coming to this market as well. NN’s products also fit these requirements.”

Rob Esch, NN’s CTO of Machined Parts, said, “Data center and AI infrastructure customers demand above all else precision, reliability, and a supplier with the deep technical know-how to repetitively deliver manufacturing solutions at scale, and that is exactly what NN brings to the table. Our decades of expertise in high-precision machining, six sigma quality, the use of advanced materials, and our well-developed manufacturing methods for precise fluid management give NN a genuine and differentiated capability to serve this market. We can already meet the stringent performance requirements of liquid-cooled computing architectures. As NN builds its capabilities and reputation in this market, we are poised to flex our technical know-how to continue winning next-generation programs with the world’s leading AI hardware developers and hyperscalers. It is a global phenomenon, and we are organized globally for technical product management, and thus we see this happening in multiple markets. It is very exciting and we bring real value to this market and these customers.”
