On April 29, Everspin Technologies reported preliminary unaudited Q1 2026 total revenue of $14.9 million, up from $13.1 million in Q1 2025.

Everspin maintained a solid cash position, ending the quarter with $40.5 million in cash and cash equivalents to fund its strategic initiatives, including its Foundry Services Agreement with Microchip.
