Our analysts just identified a stock with the potential to be the next Nvidia. Tell us how you invest and we'll show you why it's our #1 pick. Performance is driven by the transition to 800-volt DC power architectures in AI data centers, which acts as a catalyst for high-voltage power semiconductors and solid-state circuit breakers (SSCBs).
The sales funnel expanded to over $400 million, a $100 million increase since mid-May, split evenly between automotive and industrial/data center applications. Strategic positioning is focused on B-TRAN's bidirectional operation and low conduction losses, which provide a safety margin for high-voltage DC systems compared to traditional electromechanical solutions. Operational progress includes a long-term supply agreement with an automotive-qualified foundry in Asia to support high-volume scaling and targeted gross margins of 40% plus.
Management is prioritizing industrial JEDEC qualification over automotive AECQ to align with the immediate revenue opportunities in data centers and energy infrastructure. The company introduced a new SSCB reference design kit (RDK) to help traditional electromechanical breaker manufacturers overcome internal expertise gaps and accelerate product development. Prototype B-TRAN-enabled SSCBs are expected to be available for 800-volt AI data center customers in the fourth quarter of 2026, with initial low-volume orders anticipated in the same period.
Full year 2026 cash burn is projected at $10.3 million to $10.5 million, reflecting increased investment in sales and engineering personnel to support commercialization. Industrial reliability testing and qualification is planned for completion in the fourth quarter of 2026 to support near-term revenue opportunities. Management expects the rollout of 800-volt AI data center power architectures to begin in the second half of 2027, with aggressive adoption continuing into 2028.
Operating expenses are expected to increase modestly in coming quarters as the company expands its team to manage a growing number of customer engagements. The company raised $27.7 million in net proceeds through a registered direct offering in May, resulting in a cash balance of $41.3 million and no debt as of June 30, 2026. A proactive rationalization of the pending patent portfolio led to noncash patent impairments but is expected to lower future patent-related spending.
The timing of deliverables for the Stellantis EV contactor project was adjusted to optimize system-level specifications, though management states this has not delayed the overall opportunity. A newly formed Advisory Board added its first member, Dr. Sanjay Parthasarathi, to leverage deep industry networks in the data center and optical networking markets.
