MRAM Expansion Will Drive AI, IoT And Aerospace Demand

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

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

• 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 August 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 118.7x on those 2028 earnings, up from 87.1x today. This future PE is greater than the current PE for the US Semiconductor industry at 30.0x.
• Analysts expect the number of shares outstanding to grow by 4.06% per year for the next 3 years.
• To value all of this in today's terms, we will use a discount rate of 10.21%, as per the Simply Wall St company report.

Everspin Technologies Future Earnings Per Share Growth

Risks

• 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

• 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 118.7x, assuming you use a discount rate of 10.2%.
  
• Given the current share price of $6.35, the analyst price target of $8.5 is 25.3% 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.
