Key Highlights

  • Revenue reached $21.9 million in the third quarter of 2026, and the company said it exceeded its guidance.
  • Full-year 2026 Revenue guidance of $78 million to $81 million was reaffirmed, toward the upper end of the range.
  • The VS6310 chip is intended to anchor the company’s push into video conferencing devices.
  • A collaboration with onsemi aims to bring A-PHY into high-volume automotive camera applications.

Valens Semiconductor Ltd. (NYSE:VLN) reported its third-quarter 2026 financial results on November 11, 2026, with revenue of $21.9 million. The company, which provides high-performance connectivity chipsets, said it exceeded its guidance for the quarter. Chief Executive Yoram Salinger, one year into his tenure, introduced a new growth plan that he said builds on the company’s strength in premium solutions while opening the door to larger, mainstream markets.

Valens also reaffirmed its full-year 2026 revenue guidance of $78 million to $81 million, with the company expecting results toward the upper end of that range. Full-year adjusted EBITDA is expected to show a loss of between $12.9 million and $14.9 million.

Quarterly Performance and Guidance

Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, reached $56.9 million, compared with $51.2 million a year earlier. Quarterly revenue of $21.9 million compared with $17.3 million in the third quarter of 2025, a rise that reflects Demand for the company’s chipsets across its product lines.

The reaffirmed guidance points to a year in which the company keeps its revenue on track while still reporting adjusted losses. The expected full-year adjusted EBITDA loss narrows the gap between the company’s spending and its revenue, though the Business has not yet reached profitability on that measure.

Audio-Video and Automotive Strategy

In audio-video, the company announced the launch of the VS6310 chip, which it expects to become the cornerstone of its plan to embed its technology in a range of video conferencing devices. That move takes the company beyond its premium offerings and into a larger consumer and enterprise market.

In automotive, Valens announced a strategic collaboration with image sensor maker onsemi to bring its A-PHY technology into high-volume camera applications. Automotive programs can take years to reach production, but winning a place in high-volume designs could significantly widen the company’s revenue base if the products are adopted.

Management Outlook and Risks

Salinger said the company is optimistic that the growth strategy will allow it to expand its share in the markets it serves. The plan relies on converting design wins into production volumes, which can take time and depends on customer product cycles.

The company also faces competition in connectivity chips and pricing pressure as larger markets attract more rivals. Its success will depend on whether the VS6310 and A-PHY products win meaningful volumes with partners, and on whether the company can fund its expansion while approaching profitability.

Final Word

Valens Semiconductor beat its third-quarter guidance and kept its full-year revenue outlook on track, while introducing a plan to reach mainstream video and automotive markets. The VS6310 chip and the onsemi collaboration are the first visible steps. Future results will show whether those product launches translate into volume, and whether adjusted losses continue to narrow.
