Mixed
Semiconductor - Cellular IoT

Strategic Profile

Sequans offers a comprehensive portfolio of 4G/5G solutions, including LTE-M/NB-IoT, 4G LTE Cat 1bis, and 5G NR RedCap and eRedCap platforms, all purpose-built for IoT. Sequans and Qualcomm dominate the Cat 1 Bis market, and for 5G E Redcap, Sequans is well-positioned to lead the transition from 4G to 5G with expected customer sampling in mid-2027. The company has a >$300M three-year design-win pipeline and expects cash-flow break-even by end of 2026.

Cyborg Score Rationale

Q4 2025 revenue was $7.0M (up 72.6% QoQ, down 37.0% YoY); full-year revenue was $27.2M, reflecting early-stage growth challenges. The company regained NYSE compliance in January 2026 after falling below listing standards in June 2025, which was remedied via a $195 million equity private placement closing in July 2025. The company has a strong design win pipeline with 44% of projects already in production, contributing to a potential $132 million in three-year revenue from production stage projects.
