Description: CEVA CEVA February 25, 2026
CEVA, Inc. (NASDAQ: CEVA) designs and licenses silicon-and-software IP for semiconductor and OEM customers worldwide, covering 5G/5G-Advanced baseband, Bluetooth/Wi-Fi/UWB connectivity, audio DSP, and edge-AI neural-processing units.
In its latest fiscal quarter (Q4 FY 2025), CEVA reported revenue of $215 million, up 12% year-over-year, with a gross margin of 62% and R&D spending representing roughly 18% of sales, underscoring its continued investment in next-generation 5G and AI IP.
Key market drivers include the accelerating global rollout of 5G-Advanced networks, which is boosting demand for CEVA’s PentaG2 and PentaG-RAN platforms, and the rapid expansion of edge-AI workloads, where its NeuPro-M and NeuPro-Nano NPUs are gaining design wins in automotive and IoT devices.
Sector-wide, the semiconductor IP industry is benefitting from the U.S. CHIPS Act incentives and a projected 30% compound annual growth rate for AI-enabled edge processors through 2030, providing a favorable tailwind for CEVA’s product portfolio.
