- Product-related revenue increased 13% compared to last year, reaching 18% growth 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
- Company’s opportunity pipeline surged to $1.2 billion by July 2026, representing a 268% increase from year-end 2025

Swedish semiconductor manufacturer Sivers Semiconductors reported a 12% decline in second quarter 2026 revenue, though executives emphasized the reduction was strategic rather than symptomatic of business challenges. Following the announcement, shares increased 2.26% to reach $3.35.
Total net sales reached SEK 53.8 million, representing a decrease from the SEK 61.4 million recorded during Q2 2025. When accounting for constant currency rates, the decline measured approximately 10%.
Management intentionally redirected resources from non-recurring engineering projects to concentrate on preparing for significant product launches. While this strategic pivot impacted overall revenue figures, the product-focused revenue stream showed strong positive momentum moving in the contrary direction.
Revenue generated from products and hardware climbed 13% on a year-over-year basis, expanding to 18% when currency impacts are neutralized. Company leadership highlighted this metric as the more accurate barometer for assessing the business trajectory.
The adjusted EBITDA figure registered a loss of SEK 35.5 million, expanding from the SEK 20.9 million deficit reported during the comparable quarter last year. A substantial non-cash social security charge of SEK 42.9 million related to equity-based compensation plans, driven by significant stock appreciation during the quarter, negatively impacted EBITDA without affecting actual cash position.
Expanding Pipeline and Customer Engagement
The firm’s sales opportunity pipeline grew substantially to $1.2 billion as of July 2026, marking a 268% expansion from December 2025 levels. Leadership also highlighted a newly identified $4 billion addressable market opportunity for semiconductor optical amplifiers utilized in optical circuit switches designed for AI-focused data centers.
Multiple customer initiatives are progressing toward full-scale manufacturing. ALL.SPACE issued a production purchase order valued at $8.2 million for Ka-band beamforming integrated circuits, with volume production scheduled for 2027. A key LiDAR sector customer is anticipated to submit production orders covering Q4 2026 and throughout 2027. Tachyon Networks broadened its fixed wireless access offerings through a $1.5 million development collaboration with Sivers.
The joint effort with Jabil focused on developing a 1.6T pluggable optical transceiver module is projected to advance through beta testing phases in Q4 2026, with initial production volumes expected during the first six months of 2027.
Financial Position and Listing Strategy
Sivers secured approximately SEK 825 million in gross equity financing during the reporting period and converted a $12 million convertible note into equity following quarter-end. Management stated this capital infusion strengthens the company’s financial foundation as it enters the product scaling phase.
Leadership provided guidance indicating a revenue turning point in Q4 2026, with sustained product revenue expansion projected throughout 2027. The company’s long-term financial objectives are established for 2028 and subsequent years.
Chief Executive Officer Vickram Vathulya expressed confidence in the company’s strategic direction based on the robust pipeline and confirmed production commitments. Chief Financial Officer Heine Thorsgaard affirmed that execution remains aligned with expectations despite temporary revenue headwinds.
The company disclosed it is assessing a potential dual listing arrangement on the Nasdaq exchange in New York, with preparatory activities scheduled for completion during the first half of 2027.
Shares currently trade significantly below the 52-week peak of $12.04 while remaining substantially above the 52-week floor of $0.29, delivering a one-year return of 843%.
