Innoviz Extends Into Defense Market and Reaffirms 2026 Outlook Despite Weak Q1

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

The latest announcement is out from Innoviz Technologies ( (INVZ) ).

On May 14, 2026, Innoviz Technologies reported first-quarter 2026 revenue of $7.1 million, down from $17.4 million a year earlier, as several non-recurring engineering milestones were delayed at customer request, while operating expenses rose 18% to $24.9 million and liquidity stood at about $60.1 million. Despite the weaker quarter, the company reaffirmed its full-year 2026 revenue outlook of $67–$73 million, targets for 2–3 new program wins, up to 10% of sales from non-automotive Physical AI uses, and $20–$30 million in new NRE plans, signaling confidence in its growth trajectory.

During early 2026 Innoviz broadened its market reach by entering the defense and homeland security segment, highlighted by an engagement with Israeli defense firm Kela Technologies and an agreement with a large holding group to embed its LiDAR in security offerings. It also advanced automotive programs with Volkswagen, Mobileye and Daimler Truck toward 2026 product launches, signed an LOI with LOXO for Level 4 autonomy, launched the InnovizTwo Ultra Long-Range LiDAR with up to 1 km sensing, and initiated an advanced development effort to pair its sensors with on-sensor perception software, moves that strengthen its positioning in both automotive autonomy and emerging Physical AI markets.

The most recent analyst rating on (INVZ) stock is a Hold with a $0.75 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Innoviz Technologies stock, see the INVZ Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on INVZ Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, INVZ is a Neutral.

The score is mainly constrained by weak financial performance—large ongoing losses and substantial cash burn despite improving revenue and TTM gross margin. Technicals are constructive (price above key moving averages with positive MACD) but appear overextended (RSI/Stoch high). Earnings-call commentary was moderately positive on growth guidance and pipeline/cash position, but near-term margin and cash-use pressures remain significant, and valuation is difficult to support with a negative P/E and no dividend yield.
