Wearable Devices stock exploded higher by 850% during Wednesday trading after the company announced it received a crucial patent from the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The Israeli tech company secured approval for its “Gesture and Voice-Controlled Interface Device” patent.
This patent covers the integration of gesture recognition technology with voice control systems. The technology includes enhanced biometric authentication capabilities using neural and voice signatures.
The company specializes in AI-powered touchless sensing wearables. Management believes this patent positions them to capture market share in consumer electronics and enterprise applications.
Retail investor sentiment shifted dramatically on the news. According to Stocktwits data, sentiment jumped from neutral to extremely bullish territory within 24 hours.
Message volumes also reached extremely high levels as traders discussed the patent announcement. The stock closed regular trading at $1.02 before the after-hours surge began.
Commercial Launch Shows Early Promise
The patent news comes shortly after Wearable Devices reported its first-half 2025 financial results. The company generated $294,000 in revenue for the six months ending June 30, 2025.
This represents a decrease from the $394,000 earned during the same period last year. However, the latest figures include early sales from the newly launched Mudra Link gesture control wristband.
CEO Asher Dahan highlighted the commercial milestone in recent statements. “After a preorder period during which the Mudra Link generated strong customer interest, we began shipping the product at the beginning of 2025,” he said.
The company continues to recognize revenue from its existing Mudra Band for Apple Watch product line. Dahan expressed excitement about kicking off 2025 with revenue momentum from both product lines.
Financial Performance Shows Mixed Results
Net losses narrowed during the first half of 2025 compared to the previous year. The company reported total comprehensive losses of approximately $3.72 million versus $4.21 million in H1 2024.
This improvement came from reduced operating expenses across multiple categories. Research and development, sales and marketing, and general administrative costs all decreased year-over-year.
The loss reduction appears to be driving some investor optimism beyond the patent announcement. Per-share losses improved to $2.30 from $16.52 in the comparable prior period.
The company has been expanding its strategic initiatives beyond consumer products. Management announced plans for a military project focused on touchless neural control systems for tactical applications.
Wearable Devices also formed a partnership with Media Exceed Co. to enter the Japanese market. This Japanese distributor specializes in tech-savvy consumer products.
The patent portfolio continues to expand with key neural interface technology. This allows users to control devices through gestures without physical buttons or touch interactions.
Stock performance has been volatile over the past year. WLDS reached a 52-week high of $26.40 in September 2024 before declining sharply to recent lows.
The stock hit $1.02 on Tuesday with trading volume of 5 million shares. This volume was significantly higher than the average daily volume of 855,610 shares.
Market capitalization currently sits at $1.05 million based on recent trading levels. The company was trading near its 52-week low before Wednesday’s patent-driven rally began.
