Aviat Networks cuts FY2026 guidance to $428M-$440M as Middle East project delays weigh on near-term performance. The wireless backhaul equipment maker reported Q3 results showing significant revenue pushouts totaling approximately $9M, primarily driven by timing shifts in Middle East deployments. Management expects demand normalization in Q4 as customers reassess capital spending timelines. Despite near-term headwinds, the company maintains confidence in longer-term growth prospects, citing potential upside from MDU segment expansion in FY2027. Investors should monitor quarterly execution closely as the company navigates regional project delays and broader market demand patterns throughout the remainder of fiscal 2026.
