This Memory Sector Sleeper Stock Nears a Profitability Turning Point
Everspin Technologies (MRAM), a maker of MRAM chips for aerospace and military uses, reported a $3.6M net loss last quarter despite record revenue of $18.7M, due to $4M in legal fees. The company secured a $40M defense contract and a partnership with Teledyne (TDY), aiming for $100M in revenue by 2029. Profitability is expected to improve post-legal expenses.
