SEALSQ reported H1 2026 revenue of $11.2m (up 131% year‑on‑year) and a net loss of $27.8m, with revenue missing the $14.9m guidance by 26.2%. Gross profit and margin rose significantly to $5.4m and about 48%, while operating expenses increased due to acquisitions, write‑downs and strategic investments, which widened the loss. The company confirms its full‑year guidance of $27–36m and highlights continued development of its post‑quantum and quantum‑security products and a strong liquidity position of about $488.5m. Management regards H1 as a turning point but warns of certification and integration risks and says more time is needed for commercial revenue from new products. » More on de.investing.com
