Insights

Senior Semiconductor Financial Analyst

GSI reported clear revenue and cash improvements and closed a $50M financing to fund Gemini‑II and Plato chip work.

Revenue rose to $6.44 million in Q2, up 42 year‑over‑year and marginally sequentially, while gross margin held at 54.8; these figures show expanding sales traction for the company’s SRAM products and improved operational leverage versus the prior year. The company also narrowed its operating loss versus the year‑ago quarter and reported higher R&D spend tied to APU development and SBIR offsets.

Liquidity and financing materially changed the balance sheet: cash increased to $25.3 million at quarter end and the company closed a registered direct offering for $50 million subsequent to quarter end, explicitly to fund Gemini‑II completion and begin the Plato chip design. This reduces near‑term funding risk for those projects and supports continued R&D through the next development milestones.

Dependencies and risks include product mix pressure on quarterly gross margin and elevated stock‑based compensation and R&D spend, which keep quarterly operating losses until revenues scale further. Also, the company cites a government SBIR award of $752,000 and a public benchmark target for a multi‑modal LLM by December 31, 2025; these are discrete milestones that investors can track but do not by themselves guarantee commercial adoption.

Watch for delivery of the Gemini‑II platform, progress on the Plato chip design, the December LLM benchmark results, and next quarter revenue guidance versus the current $6.0–6.8 million outlook; these items will indicate whether product development and commercial demand are aligning over the coming quarters.

Lee-Lean Shu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “The recent publication of the Cornell University research paper was an important moment for GSI. The research paper validated our Gemini-I Associative Processing Unit's ability to match NVIDIA's A6000 GPU performance on retrieval-augmented generation tasks while consuming over 98% less energy. This validation demonstrates the transformative potential of our compute-in-memory architecture in the AI sector, particularly our Gemini-II Associative Processing Unit. With 8 times the memory and 10 times the performance of Gemini-I, Gemini-II is poised to deliver even greater processing power at dramatically lower energy consumption compared to current market solutions.”

“In line with our commitment to advancing our groundbreaking technology, we closed a $50 million registered direct offering to fund continued development of our APU product line. This capital infusion will support the progression of Gemini-II software and the initiation of the Plato chip design, reinforcing our technology leadership and positioning GSI to capitalize on emerging opportunities in the rapidly growing edge AI market.”

Commenting on GSI’s second quarter of fiscal 2026 outlook, Mr. Shu stated, “This quarter, we achieved revenue of $6.44 million, up 41.6% year-over-year, reflecting the growing demand for our SRAM solutions, while also narrowing our net loss compared to the prior year. Current expectations for the upcoming fiscal third quarter are net revenues in a range of $6.0 million to $6.8 million, with gross margin of approximately 54% to 56%.”

Research and development expenses were $3.8 million, compared to $4.8 million in the prior-year period and $3.1 million in the prior quarter. The increase in research and development spending compared to the prior quarter is primarily due to changes in the levels of stock-based compensation expense and amounts of government funding received under SBIRs in each quarter recorded as an offset to research and development expense. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $3.0 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2025, compared to $2.6 million in the prior-year quarter and $2.7 million in the previous quarter.
