Key takeaways

What improved, and what deserves a closer read.

Constructive signals

  • Q2 gross margin of 19.3% exceeded the high end of the 17.0%–19.0% guidance range
  • Formed strategic partnership with Navitas Semiconductor to license SiC technology for high-voltage and ultra-high-voltage power markets
  • Launched new 6th-generation 600V SJ MOSFETs for AI servers and EV charging applications
  • On track to deliver target of 55 new generation products in 2026
  • New generation products expected to contribute at least 10% of revenue in Q4 2026, up from approximately 2% for full year 2025
  • Established a $50 million at-the-market offering program to provide financial flexibility

Risks & pressure points

  • Q2 revenue of $44.7 million declined 6.1% year-over-year and 3.3% sequentially, driven by pricing pressure on legacy products
  • Year-over-year gross margin declined 1.1 percentage points to 19.3% from 20.4%, due to ASP erosion especially in China
  • GAAP operating loss widened to $9.98 million from $6.60 million in Q2 2025, a 51.2% year-over-year deterioration
  • Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was negative $4.2 million versus negative $1.5 million in Q2 2025
  • Q3 2026 guidance of $41.5–$45.5 million implies a 2.7% sequential and 5.2% year-over-year decline at the midpoint
  • Q3 guidance cites packaging constraints, lower customer volumes, and continued pricing pressure on legacy products; Q4 gross margin expected to decline slightly due to planned electrical substation upgrade
