EMCORE Completes Transition to Private Ownership

Investors tracking EMCORE Corporation should note a significant development: the company is no longer publicly traded. Its journey to becoming a privately held entity concluded in early 2025 following its acquisition. The shares ceased trading on the Nasdaq exchange as of February 28, 2025.

The path to delisting began with an agreement announced in November 2024. Shareholders gave their final approval to the deal in late February 2025, bringing EMCORE's tenure as a public company to a close. The acquirer, Velocity One Holdings, LP, provided a cash payment of $3.10 for each outstanding share of common stock. EMCORE now operates as a wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary of Velocity One, a newly established aerospace holding company.

Should investors sell immediately? Or is it worth buying Emcore?

A Critical Distinction for Investors

Market participants must avoid confusion between two similarly named firms. The delisted entity is EMCORE Corporation, formerly traded under the ticker EMKR with the ISIN US2908462037. This is a separate business from EMCOR Group, Inc. (NYSE: EME), which remains publicly listed on the New York Stock Exchange and operates in the construction industry.

Implications for Financial Reporting and Updates

With the completion of the going-private transaction, EMCORE will no longer issue quarterly financial reports, and analyst coverage or technical trading signals for the stock have ended. The company's focus shifts entirely to its operational goals within Velocity One's private structure. Any future business announcements, such as the planned reintroduction of a fiber optic gyroscope in October 2025, will be made for operational purposes and are disconnected from public market performance.
