H1 2026 Revenue Up 131% to $11.2M
SEALSQ revenue grew from $4.8M to $11.2M year-over-year, driven by Vault-IC secure elements, IC'Alps ASIC design ($2.5M contribution), and initial Quantix Edge Security revenue. Gross margin expanded from 33% to 48%.
-
Net Loss Widens to $27.8M
Operating loss increased to $32.2M from $21.2M as R&D spending rose 85% to $8.7M and G&A rose 68% to $23.1M, reflecting acquisition integration and post-quantum product development costs.

Post-Quantum Pipeline Exceeds $100M
Active business pipeline grew to over $225M through 2029, including more than $100M tied to QS7001 and QVault TPM products as of September 9, 2026 — up from $60M at June 30, 2026.

Analysis · WKEY · Technology
SEALSQ's final H1 2026 results confirm the strong top-line momentum previewed in July — revenue up 131% to $11.2 million with gross margin expanding to 48% — but reveal the full cost of its aggressive post-quantum expansion: a $27.8 million net loss, up from $20.0 million a year ago. The company is spending heavily on R&D ($8.7M), G&A ($23.1M), and acquisitions (Miraex, Wecan) to build its quantum vertical stack, funded by a $486 million cash position from a $125 million March 2026 offering. The post-quantum pipeline has grown to over $100 million, and certification milestones are approaching in September and December 2026. The going concern note is present but management asserts sufficient liquidity through September 2027. This is the first complete financial picture of SEALSQ's transition from secure-element supplier to quantum platform company.
