An announcement from SemiLEDs ( (LEDS) ) is now available.
On January 8, 2019, SemiLEDs entered into secured loan agreements totaling $3.2 million with Chairman and CEO Trung Doan and its then-largest shareholder J.R. Simplot Company, later assigned to Simplot Taiwan Inc., at an annual interest rate of 8% and secured by a second priority lien on the company’s headquarters building. Since then, through a series of amendments dated between January 16, 2021, and January 15, 2026, the company has repeatedly extended the loans’ maturities—most recently to January 15, 2027—while progressively adding flexibility to repay principal and accrued interest with newly issued common stock, capitalizing $364,924.63 of unpaid interest into Simplot Taiwan’s loan and enabling up to $1.2 million of debt to be settled in equity, moves that ease near‑term cash obligations but increase potential dilution for shareholders and underscore SemiLEDs’ ongoing reliance on insider and major-shareholder financing.
The most recent analyst rating on (LEDS) stock is a Hold with a $2.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on SemiLEDs stock, see the LEDS Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on LEDS Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, LEDS is a Neutral.
The score is held back primarily by weak profitability (low gross margin and net losses) and a negative P/E, despite improving operating/free cash flow and better leverage. Technically, the stock shows limited near-term stabilization but remains below key longer-term moving averages, keeping the outlook cautious.
