Aeva Technologies
Aeva Technologies' revenue rose 99.4% to $18 million in fiscal 2025. Its operating margin was −705.8%, up from −1,747.1% a year earlier. Free cash flow was −$120 million. The diluted share count rose 6.9%.
Operating margin is operating income as a share of revenue. Free cash flow is cash from operations minus capital spending. Return on equity is net income as a share of shareholders' equity. Market cap is the last closing share price times the latest diluted share count, so it is approximate. P/E is the last close divided by diluted earnings per share over the last four quarters, or the latest fiscal year where the quarters aren't available; there is none when the company made a loss.
Charts show fiscal years, from the 10-K filings.
What Aeva Technologies does
Aeva Technologies develops LiDAR sensors, which use laser light to measure the distance to objects and map surroundings. Its sensors use a method called FMCW, which also measures the speed of every point it sees, and it builds the key optical parts on a silicon chip module. It targets two markets: automotive makers and their suppliers, for driver assistance and autonomous driving, and industrial automation, where it sells precision laser sensors for factories.
Aeva is an early stage company with a history of losses. It has mostly sold prototypes and engineering services to customers for their own development and testing programs. It says commercial deliveries of its automotive products are not expected in 2026 and may not happen at all. It depends on a few customers: in 2025 its top three customers made up 64% of revenue.
At the end of 2025 Aeva had 239 full-time employees, mostly in Mountain View, California, and most work in research and development.
Its biggest risks, as it describes them
- Being an early stage company with a history of losses, which may never become profitable.
- Customer programs it supports may be delayed or never reach commercial production.
- Depending on a small number of customers for most of its revenue.
- Large customers and suppliers have strong bargaining power and may have competing in-house products.
- Its products may not win commercial acceptance or may take longer to reach the market than expected.
