Magnachip Semiconductor (NYSE: MX) swings to Q2 2026 loss as revenue falls
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Magnachip Semiconductor reported Q2 2026 net sales of $44.7 million, within guidance but down 3.3% sequentially and 6.1% year-over-year. Power Analog Solutions contributed $40.6 million and Power IC $4.1 million, both declining versus prior periods. Gross profit margin from continuing operations improved sequentially to 19.3%, above the high end of guidance, though slightly below 20.4% a year earlier.
The company posted an operating loss of (9,976) thousand and a loss from continuing operations of (7,601) thousand, compared with income of 9,203 thousand a year ago, leading to a basic loss per share from continuing operations of $(0.21). Net loss was (4,815) thousand, while Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations was a loss of (4,219) thousand. Cash and cash equivalents were $87,936 thousand and total assets $324,851 thousand as of June 30, 2026.
For Q3 2026, Magnachip guides revenue from continuing operations to $41.5–$45.5 million and gross margin to 17–19%, citing packaging constraints, softer volumes in some consumer applications, and unfavorable product mix. Recent developments include appointing Chae Lee as CEO, launching 6th-generation 600V SJ MOSFETs, and forming a SiC technology partnership with Navitas Semiconductor.
