Pattern Detected

Positive contract/design wins often led to modest gains, while some similar wins saw divergences with small declines. Negative earnings news aligned with a mild price drop.

Recent Company History

Over the last few months, QuickLogic has reported several design wins and government-related contracts alongside weak financials. An SRH FPGA contract ceiling was lifted to about $88M on Dec 18, 2025, which coincided with a 10.1% gain. Multiple eFPGA Hard IP selections in November and December delivered mixed price reactions, including small declines despite positive strategic news. Fiscal Q3 2025 results showed sharp revenue contraction and losses, aligning with a modest negative move. Today’s SRH FPGA Dev Kit orders build directly on the U.S. government SRH program progress.

Analysis

The stock moved +6.7% in the session following this news. A strong positive reaction aligns with QuickLogic’s pattern where substantial SRH-related milestones, such as the expanded $88M contract ceiling, previously coincided with upside moves. Orders for the SRH FPGA Dev Kit reinforce that prior contract progress is translating into tangible demand. However, recent financials showed Q3 2025 revenue of only $2.0M and negative gross margins, and the company maintains an unused S-3 shelf, factors that could influence how durable any sharp rally becomes.

Key Terms

fpga, embedded fpga (efpga), radiation hardened, antifuse, +3 more

7 terms

fpga technical

"Strategic Radiation Hardened, Antifuse and ruggedized FPGAs, announced today..."

A field-programmable gate array (FPGA) is a type of computer chip whose internal wiring can be changed after it is made, allowing engineers to program custom hardware functions without designing a new chip. For investors, FPGAs matter because that flexibility lets companies quickly adapt products to new software, standards, or customer needs—like a toolbox that can be rearranged to build different machines—so demand and pricing can shift with trends in data centers, telecommunications, AI, and specialized electronics.

embedded fpga (efpga) technical

"a developer of embedded FPGA (eFPGA) Hard IP, Strategic Radiation Hardened..."

An embedded FPGA (eFPGA) is a small, reprogrammable block of digital circuitry built directly into a semiconductor chip that lets designers change hardware behavior after the chip is manufactured—like having a set of Lego pieces inside a device that can be rearranged to add or tweak features. For investors, eFPGAs matter because they can extend a product’s useful life, speed time-to-market for new features, reduce recall or redesign costs, and create recurring licensing or customization revenue, all of which affect a company’s competitiveness and margins.

radiation hardened technical

"Strategic Radiation Hardened, Antifuse and ruggedized FPGAs, announced today..."

Radiation hardened describes electronic parts or systems designed to keep working when exposed to high levels of radiation, such as from space, nuclear environments or certain medical equipment. Think of them as ruggedized devices with extra shielding and design tweaks so they don’t fail when hit by energetic particles. Investors care because these specialized components sell at higher prices, are critical for mission‑critical customers, and often command long contracts and higher barriers to competition.

antifuse technical

"Strategic Radiation Hardened, Antifuse and ruggedized FPGAs, announced today..."

An antifuse is a tiny electronic element used inside chips that creates a permanent electrical connection when triggered, turning a non-conducting gap into a fixed conductor. Investors care because antifuse technology yields devices that are one-time programmable, highly reliable and tamper-resistant — characteristics that affect product durability, security, manufacturing costs and suitability for niche markets like secure communications or mission-critical hardware.

asic technical

"embedded SRH FPGA technology in ASIC designs."

ASIC is Australia’s corporate, markets and financial services regulator that enforces rules for companies, financial advisers and market operators; think of it as the referee and rulebook keeper for financial activity. It matters to investors because ASIC’s oversight, investigations and enforcement actions affect company credibility, legal risk and market fairness—actions that can change stock prices, investor confidence and the safety of financial products.

defense industrial base technical

"meet the requirements of certain large Defense Industrial Base customers..."

A network of companies, suppliers, research centers and skilled workers that design, build, supply and maintain military equipment, technologies and services. It matters to investors because its health determines how reliably defense contracts turn into revenue, how exposed firms are to supply disruptions or policy shifts, and where long-term demand and government spending will flow — like the utility grid that keeps a city running, disruptions affect everyone served.

process technology technical

"fabricated on GlobalFoundries' industry-proven 12 nm process technology."

Process technology is the set of methods, equipment and step-by-step instructions a company uses to turn raw materials into finished products — like a recipe and kitchen layout that determine how something is made. It matters to investors because better process technology usually lowers cost, improves product quality and increases production capacity, which can boost profit margins, speed time to market and create barriers for competitors.
