Peraso Inc. — Cyborg Score 3/10

Weak
Semiconductor - Wireless / mmWave Technology

Strategic Profile

In April 2026, Peraso delivered an initial limited production shipment of its proprietary 60GHz mmWave modules to Israeli defense contractor InTACT, optimized for size, weight and power (SWaP) with beamforming antennas for drone and infantry applications. Peraso is actively expanding its presence in the fixed wireless access market, leveraging its DUNE platform for urban deployments and securing new OEM customer orders for FWA equipment. However, the company faces significant near-term execution challenges related to demand visibility and supplier dependencies.

Cyborg Score Rationale

Q1 2026 revenue collapsed to $1.0 million, down from $2.9 million in the prior quarter and $3.9 million a year ago. The company remains deeply unprofitable with roughly $12.2M in annual 2025 revenue. While the InTACT defense win represents validation, poor demand visibility, supplier issues, and negative cash flow create material execution risk.

Top Insights

  • Peraso delivered its first production shipment of 60GHz mmWave modules to Israeli defense contractor InTACT in April 2026, marking a production-readiness milestone.
  • CEO cited 'irregular order patterns' from existing fixed wireless access (FWA) customers and a lack of 'observable order patterns' from multiple new customers, suggesting poor demand visibility.
  • Peraso reported approximately $2.9 million in cash against modest total liabilities of roughly $1.4 million as of Q1 2026.
  • Full-year mmWave product revenue increased 6x year-over-year in 2025, but overall revenue declined due to memory IC product phase-out.
