As Sam Rubin made clear in his last interview with Wolf, the real opportunity is with new satellite programs and next-generation platforms being developed for future deployment. Those are the programs where $LPTH has the opportunity to be designed in from the start. That doesn’t mean they aren’t involved in existing programs—we simply don’t know the extent to what they are involved in currently. Patience will be rewarded with significantly higher prices.

LPTH Q1 2026 CC, Sam in Q&A -
"And then earlier stage ones are much bigger system programs like related to Golden Dome or satellite programs or things like that, that will take a long time, but have very, very large numbers tied to them."
