Ideal Power (NASDAQ:IPWR) Issues Quarterly Earnings Results, Hits Expectations

Ideal Power (NASDAQ:IPWR) posted its earnings results on Thursday. The industrial products company reported ($0.18) earnings per share for the quarter, hitting the consensus estimate of ($0.18), FiscalAI reports. The company had revenue of $0.01 million during the quarter, compared to analyst estimates of $0.20 million.

Here are the key takeaways from Ideal Power’s conference call:

• Ideal Power’s sales funnel grew to approximately $450 million from about $400 million in August, split roughly evenly between automotive and data center/industrial opportunities. Management said customer programs are taking longer than expected to convert, making design-ins and production orders the key execution priorities.
• Management continues to expect AI data center-related revenue to begin in the second half of 2027, citing customer activity around 800-volt DC systems. An NRE-funded engineering study with an industry partner is expected to start this quarter ahead of a potential hardware phase, while Ideal Power and Power Integrations are developing a joint circuit-breaker reference design.
• A customer in Asia shifted its initial target from a 63-amp to a 125-amp solid-state circuit breaker, so Ideal Power no longer expects the previously discussed fourth-quarter prototype orders from that customer. The company said testing of its 63-amp prototype met expectations and plans to re-engage when its 125-amp reference design kit is available.
• The company signed a long-term supply agreement with an automotive-qualified semiconductor foundry and achieved functional first silicon; the foundry is optimizing the process. Ideal Power is targeting completion of JEDEC qualification by year-end, a step toward volume production.
• Third-quarter revenue remained modest, while net loss widened to $3.6 million from $2.9 million a year earlier and cash burn rose to $2.9 million. Ideal Power ended September with $38.3 million in cash and no debt, but forecasts 2026 cash burn of $10.4 million-$10.6 million and expects operating expenses to increase modestly.
