MRAM: Future High Reliability Margins Will Drive Upside Potential
Analysts have nudged their price target on Everspin Technologies slightly higher to approximately $10.50 per share, citing modest improvements in long term profit margin expectations and a marginally lower discount rate, even as fair value and growth assumptions remain essentially unchanged.
What's in the News
- Launched new high reliability PERSYST MRAM parts, the EM064LX HR and EM128LX HR, targeting aerospace, defense, automotive and high end industrial markets with AEC Q100 Grade 1 qualification and 10 year data retention at 125degC (Key Developments)
- Independent radiation testing at the Berkeley Accelerator Space Effects Facility under a NASA JPL program showed the EM064LX HR experienced no single event latch up events up to an LET of 61 MeV cm2/mg, reinforcing its suitability for space and other extreme environments (Key Developments)
- Introduced 64 and 128 megabit xSPI MRAM devices with up to 90 Mbytes/sec sustained read and write bandwidth over more than a decade, leveraging a QSPI interface to support data intensive, safety critical systems that cannot tolerate data loss (Key Developments)
- Issued fourth quarter 2025 guidance, projecting revenue of $14 million to $15 million and GAAP net income per diluted share between $0.02 and $0.07, indicating expectations for continued profitability (Key Developments)
- Announced a strategic collaboration with Quintauris to integrate Everspin MRAM into RISC V based platforms for automotive, industrial and edge applications, with the goal of enhancing reliability, functional safety and data integrity in safety driven markets (Key Developments)
Valuation Changes
- Fair Value Estimate remains unchanged at approximately $10.50 per share, indicating no material shift in intrinsic value assessment.
- The discount rate has fallen slightly from about 10.57 percent to 10.52 percent, reflecting a modestly lower perceived risk profile.
- Revenue growth is effectively unchanged at roughly 8.90 percent, suggesting stable expectations for top line expansion.
- The net profit margin has risen slightly from about 14.17 percent to 14.69 percent, pointing to modestly improved long term profitability assumptions.
- The future P/E multiple has declined slightly from approximately 36.15x to 34.81x, implying a marginally lower valuation multiple on forward earnings.
Key Takeaways
- Adoption of MRAM in high-growth sectors and new product launches expand markets and margins, supporting long-term revenue and earnings growth.
- Strategic partnerships and diversified end markets reduce risk, strengthen recurring revenue, and improve profitability through operational efficiency.
- Execution risks, margin pressures, contract dependence, niche market exposure, and aggressive competition threaten future revenue stability and long-term profitability.
Catalysts
About Everspin Technologies- Manufactures and sells magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM) technologies in the United States, Japan, Hong Kong, Germany, Singapore, China, Canada, and internationally.
- Broader adoption of MRAM for data center and industrial automation-driven by increasing demand for persistent, low-latency memory in AI, IoT, and edge computing-is supporting sequential revenue growth and expanding Everspin's addressable markets, which can lead to sustained top-line revenue growth.
- Ongoing partnerships and projects with companies like IBM (FlashCore Module), Lucid Motors, aerospace/defense primes, and FPGA vendors point to diversification of end markets and growing customer base, which reduces revenue concentration risk and supports both revenue expansion and earnings visibility.
- Expansion and ramp of new products (e.g., xSPI family and PERSYST MRAM solutions) into aerospace, defense, automotive, and extreme industrial environments leverage industry preference for high-reliability, nonvolatile memory, supporting ASPs and gross margin expansion as volumes increase.
- Contract wins and strategic collaborations (e.g., with Purdue University, QuickLogic, and U.S. Dept. of Defense contractors) create high-margin royalty and licensing streams, while also positioning Everspin to benefit from long-term trends in mission-critical secure memory, supporting both net margin and recurring revenue growth.
- Improving operational efficiency and scaling manufacturing-including increasing executive focus on sales expansion and continued cost discipline-lay the groundwork for operational leverage, enhancing future net margins as fixed costs are spread over higher sales volumes.
Everspin Technologies Future Earnings and Revenue Growth
Assumptions
How have these above catalysts been quantified?- Analysts are assuming Everspin Technologies's revenue will grow by 12.6% annually over the next 3 years.
- Analysts are assuming Everspin Technologies's profit margins will remain the same at 3.2% over the next 3 years.
- Analysts expect earnings to reach $2.4 million (and earnings per share of $0.4) by about September 2028, up from $1.6 million today. The analysts are largely in agreement about this estimate.
- In order for the above numbers to justify the analysts price target, the company would need to trade at a PE ratio of 113.5x on those 2028 earnings, up from 92.6x today. This future PE is greater than the current PE for the US Semiconductor industry at 33.5x.
- Analysts expect the number of shares outstanding to grow by 2.97% per year for the next 3 years.
- To value all of this in today's terms, we will use a discount rate of 10.07%, as per the Simply Wall St company report.
Everspin Technologies Future Earnings Per Share Growth
Risks
What could happen that would invalidate this narrative?- New products, particularly in the xSPI family, are still early in their life cycle and are expected to reach full volume production only by late 2025, which introduces significant execution risk; delays or underwhelming ramp could negatively impact revenue growth projections.
- Gross margins for MRAM products have been stagnant at 45–50%, and management signaled ongoing challenges with yield and manufacturing efficiency; persistent margin pressure or inability to achieve scalable improvement may constrain net margins and earnings.
- The company relies heavily on specialized contracts and government-funded projects, like the Frontgrade project and DoD/Amentum contract, which are subject to renewal, discretionary government funding, or customer-specific demand; any lapse or reduction could lead to sharp, unpredictable declines in revenue.
- Everspin's business is concentrated in niche applications within aerospace, automotive, and industrial markets, making its revenues vulnerable to shifts in technology adoption, cyclical downturns, or customer switching to alternative memory technologies-creating concentration and obsolescence risks for future revenue and earnings stability.
- Larger competitors with greater economies of scale or alternative non-volatile memory technologies (such as ReRAM or 3D XPoint) could outpace Everspin in mainstream data center or cloud/edge AI markets, limiting Everspin's addressable market and putting long-term pressure on revenue growth and profitability.
Valuation
How have all the factors above been brought together to estimate a fair value?- The analysts have a consensus price target of $8.5 for Everspin Technologies based on their expectations of its future earnings growth, profit margins and other risk factors.
- In order for you to agree with the analyst's consensus, you'd need to believe that by 2028, revenues will be $73.8 million, earnings will come to $2.4 million, and it would be trading on a PE ratio of 113.5x, assuming you use a discount rate of 10.1%.
- Given the current share price of $6.75, the analyst price target of $8.5 is 20.6% higher.
- We always encourage you to reach your own conclusions though. So sense check these analyst numbers against your own assumptions and expectations based on your understanding of the business and what you believe is probable.
