What the filing says
In a patent infringement lawsuit brought by Beckman Coulter, Inc. in U.S. District Court for Delaware, a jury found in Cytek's favor on three of four asserted claims (noninfringement and invalidity). However, the jury found infringement under the doctrine of equivalents on one claim and awarded damages of $20 million in lost profits plus $36 million in royalties (total $56 million). Cytek states it will challenge the single adverse finding and damages award via post-verdict motions and potentially appeal to the Federal Circuit.
Why this rating

Cytek faces $56M liability (~14% of market cap); substantial litigation risk remains. Mixed verdict limits immediate certainty but damages obligation is material to a $393M company.
