Stonegate Capital Partners has updated its coverage on EnSilica PLC (AIM: ENSI), highlighting the company's strategic initiatives and market strengths in the first half of 2025. Despite a 3% decrease in revenues to £9.3M, down from £9.6M year over year, EnSilica has demonstrated significant growth in its products revenue segment, which saw a 170.3% increase year over year.

EnSilica's strategic position in the automotive, industrial, healthcare, and satellite connectivity sectors for mixed-signal ASICs continues to provide a competitive edge. The company has entered into a royalty agreement worth approximately US$28.0M with an existing satellite service provider, underscoring its importance to customers. Additionally, EnSilica has secured a Memorandum of Understanding with a major European satellite operator and released two chips for sampling into the satellite broadband market, a sector expected to grow at a CAGR of 21.4% until 2033.

Financial results for 1H25 showed revenue, adj EBITDA, and Net Income of £9.3M, (£0.2)M, and (£1.2)M, respectively. Despite these figures being below initial estimates, the company's outlook remains positive, with expected revenues for FY25 and FY26 ranging from £19.0M to £20.0M and £33.0M to £35.0M, respectively.
