Analysis · ATOM · Manufacturing
A 33% jump in operating expenses to $6.9 million pushed Atomera's Q2 net loss to $6.3 million, up from $5.0 million a year ago. Revenue remains negligible at $158,000. The quarter ended with $38.4 million in cash and short-term investments, thanks to a $23.6 million direct offering in February—enough, management says, to fund operations for at least 12 months. The filing also reflects a May 2026 amendment that doubled authorized common shares to 95 million, creating headroom for future capital raises but also the potential for dilution.
