About CEVA, Inc.
Primary reporting period: 2025-12-31 · Research updated Oct 12, 2026. A research update is not a new financial filing.
Who they are
CEVA, Inc. is a global provider of intellectual property (IP) for advanced wireless connectivity and intelligent sensing solutions, serving semiconductor manufacturers and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). The company specializes in developing and licensing a broad range of digital signal processors (DSPs), AI accelerators, wireless communication platforms, and complementary software. These offerings are engineered to support applications such as sensor data integration, image enhancement, machine vision, voice command processing, and artificial intelligence.
How they make money

The company generates revenue through upfront licensing fees for the use of its technology and ongoing royalty payments based on the volume of chips shipped by customers that incorporate Ceva's IP.
Products & services

Financial risk observations and what to check
These are saved observations about business performance, not predictions. Review the company filings alongside the interpretation below. Latest stored financial period end: 2026-06-30.
Diluted weighted-average shares increased 17.1% year over year.
Compare per-share results with total earnings and inspect the equity footnote. A change in weighted-average shares does not by itself establish the cause, the number of shares issued today, or the economic effect of a split.
Total debt increased 299.2% versus the same quarter last year.
Compare the added borrowing with available cash, cash generation and maturities. A percentage increase from a small starting balance can look large without measuring the full debt burden.

WSS View
The quick read

The model outlook is currently cautious.
- •Recent buyback activity is present

- •Revenue fundamentals are weak
- •Debt / balance-sheet profile needs attention

Momentum & Volatility Signals
Two different market-behavior signals. Momentum measures direction and trend strength. Volatility measures how large and unstable the price moves are, regardless of direction.
Weakening momentum
Normal movement
A high momentum score means price has been trending upward with confirming short- and medium-term strength. A low score means downward or weakening momentum.
A high volatility score means larger, less stable price swings. It can happen while a stock is rising or falling, so high volatility is not automatically bullish or bearish.
Important: the volatility score above is based on realized price volatility. Implied volatility (IV) comes from options prices and represents the market's expected future movement. Wall Street Score will keep IV separate and will only display it when a verified options-chain feed is available.
