Key Highlights
- Second quarter revenues declined 12% to SEK 53.8 million year-over-year, a strategic decision according to management
- Product sales increased 13% annually, climbing 18% when adjusted for currency fluctuations
- Adjusted EBITDA loss expanded to SEK 35.5 million compared to SEK 20.9 million in the prior year period
- Business pipeline reached $1.2 billion by July 2026, representing a 268% surge from year-end 2025
- Shares gained 2.26% to $3.35 following earnings release; firm explores potential U.S. Nasdaq listing
The Swedish semiconductor manufacturer Sivers Semiconductors reported a 12% revenue contraction for Q2 2026, though management characterized the decrease as intentional rather than problematic. Trading activity showed shares climbing 2.26% to reach $3.35 after the announcement.
Total revenues registered SEK 53.8 million, marking a decrease from SEK 61.4 million during the same quarter last year. When currency impacts are removed, the decline measured approximately 10%.
Management intentionally redirected resources from non-recurring engineering contracts toward preparing for anticipated product launches. While this strategic realignment impacted overall sales figures, the product-specific revenue segment demonstrated opposite momentum.
Hardware and product-related revenues advanced 13% on an annual basis, expanding to 18% when currency variations are factored out. Leadership emphasized this metric as the more accurate indicator of the company’s trajectory.
The adjusted EBITDA recorded a SEK 35.5 million deficit, broader than the SEK 20.9 million shortfall from Q2 2025. A SEK 42.9 million non-cash charge related to social security obligations on equity-based compensation programs, triggered by significant stock appreciation during the period, impacted EBITDA calculations without affecting liquidity.
Business Development and Customer Progress
The firm’s business opportunity pipeline swelled to $1.2 billion by July 2026, marking a 268% expansion from late 2025 levels. Leadership also unveiled a fresh $4 billion target market opportunity for semiconductor optical amplifiers deployed in optical circuit switches serving AI datacenter infrastructure.
Multiple customer initiatives are advancing toward commercial manufacturing stages. ALL.SPACE issued a production contract valued at $8.2 million for Ka-band beamforming integrated circuits, with volume manufacturing scheduled for 2027. A key LiDAR partner is anticipated to submit production purchase orders covering Q4 2026 and 2027 delivery. Tachyon Networks broadened its fixed wireless product range via a $1.5 million development agreement with Sivers.
The partnership with Jabil on 1.6T pluggable optical transceiver modules is projected to proceed through beta production during Q4 2026, with commercial volume orders targeted for early 2027.
Financial Position and Exchange Listing Strategy
Sivers secured approximately SEK 825 million in gross equity funding during the reporting period and restructured a $12 million convertible note into equity post-quarter. Management stated this strengthens the balance sheet ahead of the anticipated product scaling phase.
Leadership forecasts a revenue turning point in Q4 2026, with sustained product revenue expansion anticipated throughout 2027. The company’s extended financial targets are oriented toward 2028 and subsequent years.
Chief Executive Vickram Vathulya indicated the pipeline strength and production commitments validate the strategic approach. Chief Financial Officer Heine Thorsgaard affirmed operational execution continues as planned despite temporary revenue headwinds.
The company disclosed it is assessing a possible secondary listing on Nasdaq’s New York exchange, with preparatory activities expected to conclude during the first half of 2027.
Current trading levels remain significantly below the 52-week peak of $12.04 while substantially exceeding the 52-week floor of $0.29, delivering a one-year return of 843%.
