Atomera (NASDAQ:ATOM) Issues Earnings Results

Atomera (NASDAQ:ATOM) announced its earnings results on Thursday. The technology company reported ($0.14) earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter, meeting the consensus estimate of ($0.14), Zacks reports. The company had revenue of $0.05 million for the quarter, compared to analysts’ expectations of $0.10 million.

Here are the key takeaways from Atomera’s conference call:

• In recent silicon tests Atomera demonstrated that MST can be deposited into Gate?All?Around nanosheet structures and provides superior phosphorus diffusion blocking versus silicon?arsenic, and management expects engagement with leading fabs (TSMC, Samsung, Intel, Rapidus) over the next few quarters.
• Multiple wafer?based initiatives across DRAM, RF SOI and GaN are underway — a commercial customer has begun GaN?on?silicon wafer runs and a PowerAmerica concept advanced to the proposal stage — which the company says should accelerate time to revenue.
• Financials remain constrained: 2025 revenue was only $65,000, GAAP net loss was $20.2M, cash and short?term investments fell to $19.2M, and the company used $14.9M in operating cash during 2025.
• 2026 non?GAAP operating expense is guided to about $18.5M (a 17% increase on paper, ~8% normalized) to add two senior go?to?market hires and to potentially accrue withheld executive bonuses tied to aggressive commercial milestones.
• Management reports growing commercial momentum — record wafer runs, ongoing joint development activity, and expectation of commercial deal and license announcements in 2026 — though customer testing cycles commonly take 6–9 months before next steps.
