Action:ReiteratedDate:03/28/26
The score is held back primarily by weak TTM financial performance (sharp margin compression, wider losses, and negative free cash flow). Offsetting this, technicals are positive with price above key moving averages and supportive momentum indicators. The latest earnings call adds moderate support via improving near-term guidance and sizable program catalysts, tempered by execution risks (margin volatility, contract timing, and near-term cash use).
Positive Factors
Funded DoD program & $13M tranche
A funded $13M tranche and an expanded prime DoD program ( ~$89M ceiling) provide multi‑year, contract‑backed revenue visibility. This reduces market risk, underpins near‑term backlog, and supports sustained investment in productization and capacity for defense/aerospace customers.
Negative Factors
Deteriorating profitability & margins
A collapse in gross margin to ~22% and materially wider net losses show structural profitability pressures. If margins and mix don't normalize, recurring losses will constrain R&D and commercialization, erode the equity base, and weaken the economics of an IP licensing model over multiple quarters.

QuickLogic Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:Mar 03, 2026
(Q4-2025)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:May 19, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call presented a mix of near-term financial weakness and one-time/operational headwinds (Q4 revenue down 35% YoY, low gross margin, net loss, SensiML impairment and contract timing delays) but was heavy on strategic, technical, and contract-driven catalysts that materially improve the company’s addressable market and revenue prospects (notably the $13M tranche and potential $89M government program expansion, SRH test chip momentum, architectural PPA improvements, commercial validations such as Epson's 50% power reduction, multiple Intel 18A engagements, and planned MPW tape-outs). Management provided optimistic 2026 revenue growth targets (50%–100%), Q1 guidance implying ~50% sequential growth, and a path to improved margins and positive cash flow in H2. Given the breadth and size of the forward-looking commercial and government opportunities and recent capital actions, the strategic upside and catalysts outweigh the near-term financial headwinds.Positive Updates
U.S. Government Contract Tranche and Program Expansion
Awarded a $13.0M tranche that begins revenue recognition in Q1; prime U.S. government contract has expanded in scope and is described as a potential $89M program, which materially increases funded backlog and underpins near-term revenue and multi-year opportunity.
Negative Updates
Significant Year-over-Year Revenue Decline in Q4
Total Q4 revenue was $3.7M, down 35% versus Q4 2024; new product revenue was $2.8M (down 39% YoY) despite strong sequential recovery (new product revenue up 199% QoQ).

Company Guidance
QuickLogic guided Q1 FY2026 revenue of $5.5M ±10% (implying roughly $4.95M–$6.05M), made up of approximately $4.5M new product and $1.0M mature product (with mature product revenue modeled at ≈$4M for the full year); Q1 non‑GAAP gross margin is expected to be ~45% ±5% (full‑year modeled at ~57%), Q1 non‑GAAP operating expense ~ $3.2M ±5% and full‑year non‑GAAP OpEx ~ $13.5M (≈14% growth vs. 2025), and Q1 non‑GAAP net loss is forecast at about $0.8M (≈$0.04 per share) with stock‑based compensation ~$0.8M in the quarter; the company ended Q4 with $18.8M cash (including a $15M credit facility), raised ≈$3.2M on its ATM, expects Q1 cash use net of ATM proceeds of ≈$1.4M, is pursuing a new banking partner to reduce its credit line from $20M to $10M, plans three MPW tape‑outs in 2026 (two fully customer‑funded, one partially), and cautioned that a high services mix, leased software tools and outside engineering costs (some of which may be capitalized) will weigh on margins in H1.QuickLogic Financial Statement Overview
