Analysis · GCTS · Manufacturing
GCT Semiconductor's Q2 2026 revenue slipped 18% year-over-year to $1.0 million, while a $12.3 million non-cash charge from the change in fair value of warrant liabilities pushed the net loss to $20.4 million. The underlying operating loss, as measured by Adjusted EBITDA, held roughly flat at $6.6 million. With cash and equivalents of $30.2 million, the company has some runway but remains dependent on its ATM program—now expanded to $120 million—to fund operations. A 71% sequential surge in 5G chipset shipments points to commercialization progress, though revenue is still minimal relative to the cash burn.
