Wearable-tech specialist Kopin (NASDAQ: KOPN) reported its third-quarter results before market open Wednesday, and investors weren't necessarily impressed with its performance. Its stock closed Hump Day almost 0.4% lower, in a session that saw the S&P 500 index creep into positive territory with a less than 0.1% advance.

In a more encouraging development, Kopin flipped to net income according to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) of $4.1 million ($0.02 per share), against the year-ago loss of $3.5 million.
Although the company's positive bottom-line result was a surprise to analysts, given their consensus estimate of a $0.01 loss per share, Kopin missed on revenue. Its figure fell well short of the collective $13.8 million expected by those prognosticators.
Changes underway
In its earnings release, Kopin devoted more wordage to the recent strategic investments into its equity than details about its quarterly performance. It said that such investments have placed it "in a position of transformational change," to morph into a worldwide supplier of micro displays and optical solutions for the defense industry.
