The business had revenue of $21.91 million during the quarter, compared to analyst estimates of $21.50 million.

Here are the key takeaways from Valens Semiconductor’s conference call:

• Valens reported Q3 revenue of $21.9 million, above guidance and up from $18.1 million in Q2 2026 and $17.3 million a year earlier. Gross margin was 62.2%, and the adjusted EBITDA loss narrowed to $2.7 million, better than guidance.
• The company reaffirmed 2026 revenue guidance of $78 million to $81 million, expecting results toward the upper end; adjusted EBITDA is forecast to be a loss of $12.9 million to $14.9 million.
• Valens plans to broaden its audio-video business beyond premium chipsets by embedding connectivity in more device categories and selling complete products such as dongles and active cables. Management said these initiatives are not expected to materially affect gross margin in 2027.
• A collaboration with onsemi aims to integrate A-PHY connectivity into a 3-megapixel image sensor, potentially reducing camera costs and expanding Valens’ reach into higher-volume automotive applications. The solution is an onsemi product, with the companies planning joint marketing.
• Management expects additional, potentially more significant tape-out costs as development of the VC500 progresses, and said future supply-management expenses are difficult to forecast. Automotive revenue also remains tied to Mercedes-Benz demand and can vary with seasonality.
