EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn., July 17, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NVE Corporation (Nasdaq: NVEC) announced today financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2019.

Total revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 decreased 11% to $6.29 million from $7.11 million in the prior-year quarter.

Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 decreased 9% to $3.61 million, or $0.74 per diluted share, compared to $3.95 million, or $0.81 per share, for the prior-year quarter.
