In-house Drone Battery Production Capacity to Double by Mid-2027 | Source: Enovix Corporation
FREMONT, Calif., Sept. 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Enovix Corporation (Nasdaq: ENVX) (“Enovix”), a developer and manufacturer of advanced lithium-ion batteries, including proprietary silicon-anode architectures, highlighted that its drone and defense battery portfolio manufactured in South Korea is compliant with the Trade Agreements Act (TAA), expanding the company’s ability to serve U.S. government defense programs. Enovix is doubling its in-house drone battery production capacity in South Korea by mid-2027 to support growing demand from the U.S. and allied government customers.
“Secure access to high-performance batteries is increasingly critical to the national security of the United States and its allies,” said Ryan Benton, Interim Chief Executive Officer of Enovix. “Achieving TAA compliance, combined with our planned capacity expansion in South Korea, strengthens our ability to support that mission with high-performance batteries produced at scale through a trusted supply chain.”
“Our customers are telling us clearly that they need high-performance batteries backed by a trusted supply chain and compliant production capacity at scale,” said Steve Bakos, Senior Vice President of Sales at Enovix. “With TAA compliance and expanded capacity from our own factories, Enovix is positioned to meet those requirements across a growing range of defense applications.”
As discussed in its second quarter 2026 earnings report, the company believes demand for high-performance batteries that meet U.S. government sourcing requirements could materially exceed available supply through the end of the decade. This dynamic is most visible today in aerial and naval drones, where Enovix’s opportunities alone exceeded $100 million during the second quarter of 2026.
Enovix’s drone battery scale-up is a direct response to what customers are asking of the company. It starts with a previously announced doubling of capacity at its owned and operated production facility in South Korea, which is underway with the new capacity to come online in 2027.
This Korean facility has a fully qualified defense production history of over two decades. Today, it already manufactures high-performance, silicon-blended graphite anode batteries — upgraded with the addition of silicon-carbon know-how from Enovix’s AI-1 technology — and traditional graphite anode batteries that are compliant with U.S. government sourcing requirements under the TAA and are on track to be manufactured in compliance with programs governed by the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
These products are in production and generating revenue today across defense, drone and industrial markets. The capacity expansion of this Korean manufacturing center is timed to meet the escalating demand anticipated next year.

Expansion Leverages Existing Company-Owned South Korea Facility, With Added Capacity Expected in Mid-2027 | Source: Enovix Corporation
FREMONT, Calif., Aug. 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Enovix Corporation (Nasdaq: ENVX) (“Enovix”), a developer and manufacturer of advanced lithium-ion batteries, including proprietary silicon-anode architectures, today provided additional details of its accelerated capacity expansion in South Korea, whose first phase is expected to double production capacity for its flagship drone products, and of the growing strategic role of its silicon-blended graphite anode battery platform (MX-1).
Already underway and expected online in mid-2027, the expansion is highly capital-efficient, utilizing existing land and buildings the Company already owns and leveraging readily available production equipment. Enovix’s rapidly growing South Korea pipeline reached approximately $183 million at the end of the second quarter of 2026, up approximately 41% from $130 million at the end of the first quarter. This first phase is designed to establish a scalable production model upgraded with Enovix’s AI-1 technology to maintain market share, and support significantly larger-scale manufacturing expansion as demand grows.
MetricStatusSupply Chain Compliance100% TAA (U.S. Trade Agreements Act) compliant today; on track for NDAA (U.S. National Defense Authorization Act) compliance in 2027Commercial StatusIn production and generating revenue today across defense, drone, and industrial marketsFirst Phase Expansion TimingUnderway now; expected online mid-2027
“Much of the market’s attention on Enovix has centered on our proprietary silicon-anode architecture and its path to commercialization in smartphones and smart eyewear. That remains our north star. But we do have another proven business that is already generating revenue today — and that we believe has reached an inflection point,” said Ryan Benton, interim CEO of Enovix. “Our South Korea operations produce state-of-the-art, silicon-blended graphite anode cells that are 100% TAA compliant and built for the most demanding, performance-critical applications. In response to rapidly growing customer demand, we are now moving to double our production capacity in South Korea for our flagship drone products. This is a distinct product line, with its own technology roadmap, customer base, and scaling economics — and the capacity we are adding is intended to be just the beginning of capturing it.”
A Proven Business at an Inflection Point
Enovix’s South Korea facility has a fully qualified defense production history. It manufactures high-performance, silicon-blended graphite anode batteries — upgraded with the addition of silicon-carbon know-how from Enovix’s AI-1 technology — and traditional graphite anode batteries that are compliant with U.S. government sourcing requirements under the TAA and are on track to be manufactured in compliance with programs governed by the NDAA. These products are in production and generating revenue today across defense, drone, and industrial markets.
Enovix believes demand for high-performance batteries that meet U.S. government sourcing requirements could materially exceed available supply through the end of the decade. This dynamic is most visible in aerial and naval drones, where the Company’s opportunities alone exceeded $100 million during the second quarter of 2026. As a TAA-compliant, scaled supplier of high-performance cells, Enovix believes it is well-positioned in a rapidly expanding market where demand continues to outpace supply.
Beyond drones and defense, the same platform is directly applicable to a broad set of adjacent applications that share the same core requirements — high energy density, safety, reliability, and supply-chain security. These include:
Industrial — ruggedized handhelds, instrumentation, power tools, and field equipment needing long runtime and durable cycle life.Medical — wearable devices, patient monitoring, and surgical and diagnostic equipment.Robotics — autonomous mobile and service robots, where weight, runtime, and power delivery are critical. Each of these adjacent markets draws on the same platform and the same production lines being added in this first phase, giving Enovix a path to convert new demand into revenue with minimal incremental technical risk — and a clear rationale for larger-scale expansion as these programs mature.
“What defense customers tell us is consistent: they need high-performance cells from a compliant, dependable source, and they need them at scale,” said Samira Naraghi, Chief Business Officer of Enovix. “Our Korea team has been supporting demanding defense and drone programs for years. This expansion is a direct response to what those customers are asking us to deliver.”

Enovix Corporation (ENVX - Free Report) appears an attractive pick, as it has been recently upgraded to a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). This rating change essentially reflects an upward trend in earnings estimates -- one of the most powerful forces impacting stock prices.
A company's changing earnings picture is at the core of the Zacks rating. The system tracks the Zacks Consensus Estimate -- the consensus measure of EPS estimates from the sell-side analysts covering the stock -- for the current and following years.
Individual investors often find it hard to make decisions based on rating upgrades by Wall Street analysts, since these are mostly driven by subjective factors that are hard to see and measure in real time. In these situations, the Zacks rating system comes in handy because of the power of a changing earnings picture in determining near-term stock price movements.
Therefore, the Zacks rating upgrade for Enovix Corporation basically reflects positivity about its earnings outlook that could translate into buying pressure and an increase in its stock price.
Most Powerful Force Impacting Stock PricesThe change in a company's future earnings potential, as reflected in earnings estimate revisions, and the near-term price movement of its stock are proven to be strongly correlated. The influence of institutional investors has a partial contribution to this relationship, as these big professionals use earnings and earnings estimates to calculate the fair value of a company's shares. An increase or decrease in earnings estimates in their valuation models simply results in higher or lower fair value for a stock, and institutional investors typically buy or sell it. Their transaction of large amounts of shares then leads to price movement for the stock.
Fundamentally speaking, rising earnings estimates and the consequent rating upgrade for Enovix Corporation imply an improvement in the company's underlying business. Investors should show their appreciation for this improving business trend by pushing the stock higher.
Harnessing the Power of Earnings Estimate RevisionsEmpirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock movements, so it could be truly rewarding if such revisions are tracked for making an investment decision. Here is where the tried-and-tested Zacks Rank stock-rating system plays an important role, as it effectively harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions.
The Zacks Rank stock-rating system, which uses four factors related to earnings estimates to classify stocks into five groups, ranging from Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) to Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), has an impressive externally-audited track record, with Zacks Rank #1 stocks generating an average annual return of +25% since 1988. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>> .
Earnings Estimate Revisions for Enovix CorporationFor the fiscal year ending December 2026, this company is expected to earn -$0.57 per share, which is unchanged compared with the year-ago reported number.
Analysts have been steadily raising their estimates for Enovix Corporation. Over the past three months, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company has increased 1.8%.
Bottom LineUnlike the overly optimistic Wall Street analysts whose rating systems tend to be weighted toward favorable recommendations, the Zacks rating system maintains an equal proportion of "buy" and "sell" ratings for its entire universe of more than 4,000 stocks at any point in time. Irrespective of market conditions, only the top 5% of the Zacks-covered stocks get a "Strong Buy" rating and the next 15% get a "Buy" rating. So, the placement of a stock in the top 20% of the Zacks-covered stocks indicates its superior earnings estimate revision feature, making it a solid candidate for producing market-beating returns in the near term.
You can learn more about the Zacks Rank here >>>
The upgrade of Enovix Corporation to a Zacks Rank #2 positions it in the top 20% of the Zacks-covered stocks in terms of estimate revisions, implying that the stock might move higher in the near term.
A downtrend has been apparent in Enovix Corporation (ENVX - Free Report) lately with too much selling pressure. The stock has declined 35% over the past four weeks. However, given the fact that it is now in oversold territory and Wall Street analysts are majorly in agreement about the company's ability to report better earnings than they predicted earlier, the stock could be due for a turnaround.
We use Relative Strength Index (RSI), one of the most commonly used technical indicators, for spotting whether a stock is oversold. This is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements.
RSI oscillates between zero and 100. Usually, a stock is considered oversold when its RSI reading falls below 30.
Technically, every stock oscillates between being overbought and oversold irrespective of the quality of their fundamentals. And the beauty of RSI is that it helps you quickly and easily check if a stock's price is reaching a point of reversal.
So, by this measure, if a stock has gotten too far below its fair value just because of unwarranted selling pressure, investors may start looking for entry opportunities in the stock for benefiting from the inevitable rebound.
However, like every investing tool, RSI has its limitations, and should not be used alone for making an investment decision.
Here's Why ENVX Could Experience a TurnaroundThe RSI reading of 29.73 for ENVX is an indication that the heavy selling could be in the process of exhausting itself, so the stock could bounce back in a quest for reaching the old equilibrium of supply and demand.
This technical indicator is not the only factor that calls for a potential rebound for the stock. There is a fundamental indicator as well. A strong agreement among sell-side analysts covering ENVX in raising earnings estimates for the current year has led to an increase in the consensus EPS estimate by 1.8% over the last 30 days. And an upward trend in earnings estimate revisions usually translates into price appreciation in the near term.
Moreover, ENVX currently has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), which means it is in the top 20% of more than 4,000 stocks that we rank based on trends in earnings estimate revisions and EPS surprises. This is a more conclusive indication of the stock's potential turnaround in the near term. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>> .
Enovix (NASDAQ:ENVX) said its strategy, product roadmap, customer programs and qualification schedules remain unchanged following the resignation of CEO Raj, as the company appointed Chief Financial Officer Ryan Benton as interim CEO and named Executive Chairman T.J. Rodgers to a more active operating role.
Rodgers said the board accepted the resignation unanimously and has begun a search for a permanent chief executive, using the same search firm that recruited the departing CEO. The company is considering both outside and internal candidates and has set no artificial deadline for the process.
“This is a CEO transition, not a strategy transition,” Rodgers said. He added that Enovix’s Q3 2026 guidance stands and said its balance sheet held $552 in cash, without specifying a unit during the webcast. Cycle-Life Milestone and Smartphone Qualification Rodgers emphasized Enovix’s reported demonstration of 1,000-cycle life for its AI-class smartphone battery cells during the second quarter, describing the result as a major milestone following 14 years of development work on silicon-anode technology.
According to Rodgers, silicon can improve battery energy density compared with conventional graphite anodes, but has historically posed durability challenges because of expansion and degradation during cycling. He said Enovix has improved the condition of silicon particles and their solid electrolyte interphase, enabling the reported cycle-life result.
The company’s immediate smartphone priority is qualification with Honor, which Chief Business Officer Samira Naraghi described as requiring “flawless execution.” Naraghi said she and the departing CEO planned to visit the customer, alongside other Enovix executives and board members participating electronically, to support the relationship.
Rodgers said Enovix and Honor are jointly working on test methods, including accelerated testing through faster charging and discharging. The company is also targeting samples for a second smartphone original equipment manufacturer, likely in China, during the fourth quarter of 2026.
Naraghi said Enovix has worked with its smartphone customers for about three years and has relationships across technology, commercial and leadership levels. She said the company’s focus remains on qualifying its product and converting those efforts into commercial business.
Eyewear and Defense Opportunities Beyond smartphones, Enovix is pursuing smart eyewear and defense and drone applications. Rodgers said the company is currently shipping its first smart-eyewear order, a firm order for 50,000 units, including a target to ship 19,000 units during the current quarter.
The company intends to use its AI-1 technology in initial eyewear products and is developing AI-2, which Rodgers said is designed to provide 20% more energy. Naraghi said Enovix’s next commercial objective in eyewear is expanding its customer base after meeting current commitments.
In drones and defense, Rodgers said Enovix has built a $183 million backlog and pipeline, which he said increased 41% in the second quarter of 2026. He said demand is supported by interest in high-energy batteries from U.S. or non-Chinese sources.
Enovix is expanding its Korean manufacturing operation, which Rodgers said is being upgraded from a $40 million operation to a $100 million operation. Senior Vice President of Global Manufacturing Kihong Park said he is overseeing Korea and Malaysia operations with a focus on production scale-up, operating performance and volume execution.
Manufacturing Focus and Cost Discipline Chief Operating Officer Michael Vivona said Enovix’s operational priorities are expanding manufacturing in Korea, improving yield and manufacturability for silicon-anode cells, and ramping the Malaysia site. Vivona said he believes the company’s planned high-volume manufacturing process can support a profitable product because it involves a relatively small number of manufacturing steps.
Management identified laser dicing as a significant throughput constraint at the Malaysia facility. Rodgers said the company’s line is designed for 1,350 units per hour, while its laser process is operating at less than 100 units per hour. Enovix plans to move to mechanical dicing in 2027, with certain process steps expected to enter production around year-end.
Rodgers cautioned that removing the laser constraint would likely reveal additional bottlenecks, calling manufacturing improvement “a journey, not an event.” He said the company expects mechanical dicing to provide more than a doubling of throughput from current levels once the laser bottleneck is alleviated.
The executive chairman also said Enovix will place greater emphasis on spending discipline, project prioritization and cost reduction. He said the company plans to narrow its R&D portfolio, focus on fewer projects and use attrition-based hiring controls while seeking to improve the effectiveness of its research and development organization.

The Routejade battery has been upgraded with a 20% addition of silicon-carbon from our AI-1 technology and has become a source of defense revenue for us.” How Our Battery Is Made, and Why It Took 14 Years
Rodgers walked investors through the construction of the Enovix cell, “Our unit cell is a five-layer stack: a copper-foil anode current collector, our silicon-carbon anode, a polymer separator that electrically isolates the electrodes, a lithium cobalt oxide cathode, and an aluminum-foil cathode current collector. The energy density advantage comes from the anode, which is 2x-3x smaller than the graphite anode used in traditional batteries.

“Getting a 100% silicon anode to survive 1,000 charging cycles is the battle we have just won – after 14 years of effort (a very similar timeframe as the original Li-ion project). Silicon swells as it becomes loaded with lithium during charging. Our first etched silicon anodes were silicon wafers which disintegrated in as few as 10 charging cycles. Our second generation silicon-oxide (SiOx) anodes got to 500 cycles with seven more years of work, but also suffered from micro-cracking and the growth of a too-thick (greater than 1 micron) solid-electrolyte-interface (SEI) layer that forms on the anode. Our current silicon-carbon composite particles, combined with an optimized electrolyte, produce a thinner, stable SEI with no particle cracking, and they run for 1,000 cycles. Electrolyte, electrode formulation, materials processing and mechanical design also played key roles. When I joined the Enovix Board 14 years ago, our batteries struggled to achieve a lifetime of just 10 charging cycles. Last quarter, our lead smartphone customer confirmed more than 1,000.”

The largest expense in a battery company is R&D. This is the “Moore’s Law” of batteries. To speed the transfer of new products into the factories, the Company’s 147-person R&D engineering organization now reports to COO Michael Vyvoda:

Rodgers said, “All R&D teams are unchanged. What changed is that engineering leadership is now aligned directly with manufacturing, from the factory floor to customer delivery.”
My Agenda
Rodgers continued, “In my one-on-one meetings with the executive staff, I made two lists. What I like: 1) 1,000 cycles of life finally achieved, and 2) a strong executive staff that can run the company without a hiccup. What I will improve: 1) our investor reporting, which has been too thin on data, 2) an operating loss rate of about $100 million per year, which must come down as our three markets ramp, 3) re-confirming our smartphone customer relationships in China following the CEO change, 4) speeding up our R&D execution, and 5) maintaining my own active engagement in the details.”

Conclusion
Rodgers concluded, “This is a CEO transition, not a strategy transition. Our Q3’26 guidance stands, our balance sheet shows $552 million in cash, and the teams executing customer programs are unchanged. Last quarter we demonstrated the major achievement of 1,000-cycle life in our AI-class cellphone batteries, shipping our AI-1 eyewear cell against firm customer orders, and adding MX-1 capacity for a defense market that is growing rapidly. The Board will run a careful search for a permanent CEO. Meanwhile, the Company will stay focused on execution: with our customers, in our factories, and against our financial commitments.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release references certain financial measures that have not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), including non-GAAP operating loss and non-GAAP net loss per share. Enovix believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to Enovix’s financial condition and results of operations. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of historical non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are included in the Company’s press release dated August 12, 2026 and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on that date. We are unable to provide without unreasonable effort a GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation of projected non-GAAP measures, and we have not provided a quantitative reconciliation in reliance on the unreasonable efforts exception under Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K, due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting the occurrence and financial impact of various adjustments, including changes in fair value of common stock, stock-based compensation and related tax effects, acquisition-related costs and restructuring costs.
Shares of QuantumScape (NYSE:QS | QS Price Prediction) are down 6% Tuesday afternoon to $5.73, with no company-specific catalyst driving the decline. The move fits a broader de-risking wave in speculative, pre-revenue growth names.
Meanwhile, Enovix (NASDAQ:ENVX) shares are sinking 14% to $3.11, capping a rough stretch for the stock. Solid Power (NASDAQ:SLDP) stock is falling 4% to $2.26.
The three battery developers share a common vulnerability. Their cash flows sit years out, making them archetypal duration-sensitive equities. With long-end Treasury yields near multi-decade highs, that math is punishing.
Yields at 19-Year Highs Reset the Discount Rate The 30-year Treasury yield touched a 19-year high Tuesday, even topping 5.3% at one point. Long-end yields were little changed to slightly lower on the session, yet the elevated absolute level continues to weigh on unprofitable growth stocks whose value depends on distant cash flows.
The Wall Street Journal reported Monday that nine top tech companies carry roughly $3 trillion of off-balance-sheet commitments mostly tied to AI, growing faster than the roughly $600 billion of capital expenditures they reported over the past year. That analysis fed broad de-risking in high-multiple growth names Tuesday.
Defensive sectors caught the bid instead. Healthcare rose 2% at the sector level, while the NASDAQ 100 tracking Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:QQQ) shares are down 1.66%, reflecting pressure across the tech complex.
Peer Battery Developers Trade Lower Enovix’s slide is the sharpest of the group, with ENVX stock down 51% year to date despite a Q2 2026 earnings beat reported August 12. The silicon-anode battery maker delivered revenue of $9.02 million against an $8.43 million estimate and posted adjusted EPS of -$0.13 versus a -$0.15 consensus.
Solid Power stock is down 45% year to date. The sulfide-electrolyte specialist counts BMW among its partners and is targeting commissioning of a continuous electrolyte pilot line by year-end.
Neither name reported news Tuesday. The selling in ENVX and SLDP looks tactical, tied to a rate-driven rotation out of pre-revenue growth stories rather than fundamental deterioration.
QuantumScape’s Fundamentals Remain Intact QuantumScape stock is down 41% year to date, but the company’s operational track record has been improving. In June, QuantumScape and Honda Motor (NYSE:HMC) announced a joint research agreement, a multi-year plan to develop a solid-state battery and determine the production process, with automotive use cases the target.
Honda signed only after completing due diligence on QuantumScape’s QSE-5/QS battery platform, including a hands-on technical study, benchmarking and stress testing. Honda R&D COO Atsushi Ogawa stated the technology “demonstrated compelling and unique advantages” during evaluation.
Shares of the Japanese automaker are up 0.4% to $32.01, with the stock up 8% year to date. QuantumScape’s lead partner remains Volkswagen Group’s PowerCo unit, where the company has expanded licensing and up to 85 GWh of annual production rights.
The Battery ETF Feels the Pressure Also, Amplify Lithium & Battery Technology ETF (NYSEARCA:BATT) shares are down 2% to $15.18, though the ETF is still up 13% year to date. The fund is a broad lithium and battery-technology vehicle, not a pure solid-state play.
The ETF’s narrow thematic focus means it can amplify moves in either direction when battery sentiment shifts. Its underperformance versus QQQ Tuesday reflects the specific pain in materials-linked and speculative growth names within the basket.
What to Watch Traders may want to keep an eye on whether long-end Treasury yields settle back or push higher into month-end. Any move above the recent 30-year peak could keep pressure on duration-sensitive names across the battery cohort.
QuantumScape’s next operational checkpoint is scaling its Eagle Line pilot production. Enovix has one final accelerated cycle-life test on its smartphone qualification path, expected to complete this year, while Solid Power’s continuous electrolyte pilot line is targeted for year-end commissioning.
Shareholders can watch for signs that fundamentals reassert themselves once the rate backdrop stabilizes. For now, position sizing in QS, ENVX, and SLDP should reflect the volatility on display and the sector’s ongoing sensitivity to every basis point at the long end of the curve (we wrote a full playbook on speculating with just 5% of a portfolio, and the sizing rules that keep it from stinging, in a free report here).

New Year, New Growth: 3 Stocks Under $2B Breaking Out in 2026Enovix NASDAQ: ENVX said its strategy, product roadmap, customer programs and qualification schedules remain unchanged following the resignation of CEO Raj, as the company appointed Chief Financial Officer Ryan Benton as interim CEO and named Executive Chairman T.J. Rodgers to a more active operating role.
Rodgers said the board accepted the resignation unanimously and has begun a search for a permanent chief executive, using the same search firm that recruited the departing CEO. The company is considering both outside and internal candidates and has set no artificial deadline for the process.

Best Stocks Under $15? 3 Low-Priced Picks With Upside“This is a CEO transition, not a strategy transition,” Rodgers said. He added that Enovix’s Q3 2026 guidance stands and said its balance sheet held $552 in cash, without specifying a unit during the webcast.
Cycle-Life Milestone and Smartphone Qualification Rodgers emphasized Enovix’s reported demonstration of 1,000-cycle life for its AI-class smartphone battery cells during the second quarter, describing the result as a major milestone following 14 years of development work on silicon-anode technology.
5 Hot Stocks With Summer Buybacks You Can Cash In OnAccording to Rodgers, silicon can improve battery energy density compared with conventional graphite anodes, but has historically posed durability challenges because of expansion and degradation during cycling. He said Enovix has improved the condition of silicon particles and their solid electrolyte interphase, enabling the reported cycle-life result.
The company’s immediate smartphone priority is qualification with Honor, which Chief Business Officer Samira Naraghi described as requiring “flawless execution.” Naraghi said she and the departing CEO planned to visit the customer, alongside other Enovix executives and board members participating electronically, to support the relationship.
Rodgers said Enovix and Honor are jointly working on test methods, including accelerated testing through faster charging and discharging. The company is also targeting samples for a second smartphone original equipment manufacturer, likely in China, during the fourth quarter of 2026.
Naraghi said Enovix has worked with its smartphone customers for about three years and has relationships across technology, commercial and leadership levels. She said the company’s focus remains on qualifying its product and converting those efforts into commercial business.
Eyewear and Defense Opportunities Beyond smartphones, Enovix is pursuing smart eyewear and defense and drone applications. Rodgers said the company is currently shipping its first smart-eyewear order, a firm order for 50,000 units, including a target to ship 19,000 units during the current quarter.
The company intends to use its AI-1 technology in initial eyewear products and is developing AI-2, which Rodgers said is designed to provide 20% more energy. Naraghi said Enovix’s next commercial objective in eyewear is expanding its customer base after meeting current commitments.
In drones and defense, Rodgers said Enovix has built a $183 million backlog and pipeline, which he said increased 41% in the second quarter of 2026. He said demand is supported by interest in high-energy batteries from U.S. or non-Chinese sources.
Enovix is expanding its Korean manufacturing operation, which Rodgers said is being upgraded from a $40 million operation to a $100 million operation. Senior Vice President of Global Manufacturing Kihong Park said he is overseeing Korea and Malaysia operations with a focus on production scale-up, operating performance and volume execution.
Manufacturing Focus and Cost Discipline Chief Operating Officer Michael Vivona said Enovix’s operational priorities are expanding manufacturing in Korea, improving yield and manufacturability for silicon-anode cells, and ramping the Malaysia site. Vivona said he believes the company’s planned high-volume manufacturing process can support a profitable product because it involves a relatively small number of manufacturing steps.
Management identified laser dicing as a significant throughput constraint at the Malaysia facility. Rodgers said the company’s line is designed for 1,350 units per hour, while its laser process is operating at less than 100 units per hour. Enovix plans to move to mechanical dicing in 2027, with certain process steps expected to enter production around year-end.
Rodgers cautioned that removing the laser constraint would likely reveal additional bottlenecks, calling manufacturing improvement “a journey, not an event.” He said the company expects mechanical dicing to provide more than a doubling of throughput from current levels once the laser bottleneck is alleviated.
The executive chairman also said Enovix will place greater emphasis on spending discipline, project prioritization and cost reduction. He said the company plans to narrow its R&D portfolio, focus on fewer projects and use attrition-based hiring controls while seeking to improve the effectiveness of its research and development organization.

Enovix Corporation (ENVX - Free Report) came out with a quarterly loss of $0.13 per share versus the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of $0.14. This compares to a loss of $0.13 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +7.14%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this company would post a loss of $0.15 per share when it actually produced a loss of $0.14, delivering a surprise of +6.67%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates four times.
Enovix Corporation, which belongs to the Zacks Electronics - Miscellaneous Products industry, posted revenues of $9.02 million for the quarter ended June 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 6.89%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $7.47 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates three times over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
Enovix Corporation shares have lost about 33.9% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 12.9%.
What's Next for Enovix Corporation?While Enovix Corporation has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Enovix Corporation was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is -$0.15 on $10.38 million in revenues for the coming quarter and -$0.57 on $41.11 million in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Electronics - Miscellaneous Products is currently in the top 20% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
Another stock from the same industry, Beam Global (BEEM - Free Report) , has yet to report results for the quarter ended June 2026.
This company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.17 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +39.3%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
Beam Global's revenues are expected to be $8 million, up 13.2% from the year-ago quarter.
New Year, New Growth: 3 Stocks Under $2B Breaking Out in 2026Enovix NASDAQ: ENVX reported second-quarter 2026 revenue at the high end of its guidance and highlighted progress in smartphone battery qualification, an initial commercial ramp in smart eyewear, and expanding drone and defense opportunities.
Revenue for the quarter was $9 million, up 21% from a year earlier and 19% sequentially, according to Chief Financial Officer Ryan Benton. Defense shipments from the company’s South Korea operations remained the largest contributor, while smart eyewear produced its first product revenue during the quarter.

Best Stocks Under $15? 3 Low-Priced Picks With UpsideGAAP gross profit was $1.3 million, representing a 14.4% gross margin, while non-GAAP gross profit was $1.8 million, or a 19.9% margin. Benton said the year-over-year decline in quarterly margin largely reflected the mix of battery products sold through the South Korea business rather than an operational change. Enovix recorded its seventh consecutive quarter of positive GAAP and non-GAAP gross profit.
Non-GAAP operating expenses rose to $30.6 million from $28.8 million a year earlier, reflecting investments in smartphone qualification, product development, manufacturing readiness and the smart eyewear ramp. Non-GAAP operating loss was $28.8 million, better than the company’s guided loss range of $29 million to $32 million. Adjusted EBITDA was negative $18.9 million, compared with negative $20.1 million in the prior-year quarter.
5 Hot Stocks With Summer Buybacks You Can Cash In OnThe company ended the quarter with approximately $552.1 million in cash equivalents, marketable securities and restricted cash. Operating cash use was $21.8 million, while free cash flow was negative $31.4 million. Capital expenditures totaled $9.6 million.
Smartphone qualification advances President and Chief Executive Officer Raj Talluri said Enovix’s lead smartphone customer confirmed that the company’s cells exceeded 1,000 cycles under a 0.2C discharge cycle-life test. The result independently confirmed internal testing that Enovix had previously discussed.
The remaining qualification work centers on an accelerated cycle-life test based on a hybrid protocol developed with the lead customer. Talluri said the test is intended to better reflect real-world smartphone use than the traditional 0.7C approach used for legacy graphite batteries. Several combinations of charge and discharge conditions are being tested, including an enhanced cell design.
Enovix expects to complete the final testing by the end of 2026, followed by customer acceptance and smartphone field testing. In response to analyst questions, Talluri said the next stage after the bench testing would be a small build in which batteries are installed in phones for performance evaluation. The company expects commercial production activity to begin in 2027 if qualification proceeds as planned.
A second smartphone original equipment manufacturer is moving toward a similar qualification framework, and Enovix expects to begin sample deliveries to that customer in the fourth quarter. Talluri said he expects silicon-specific qualification protocols to become more widely adopted over time because silicon anodes behave differently from graphite in accelerated testing.
Smart eyewear begins commercial shipments Enovix shipped about 2,100 AI-1 batteries to a tier-one smart eyewear customer in the second quarter and recognized its first product revenue from that customer. The company said it completed a key international safety certification for its cells and battery packs, as well as the customer’s reliability testing.
The company has delivery orders for approximately 19,000 packs in the third quarter, a roughly nine-fold increase from second-quarter shipments. Those deliveries are part of a 50,000-pack customer order, with the remaining units expected to ship in the fourth quarter.
Talluri said the smart eyewear market is expected to reach multiple millions of units, though actual Enovix shipment volumes will depend on customer product success and the company’s share of those programs. He said customer feedback has been favorable, particularly regarding energy density and battery life for eyewear devices running artificial intelligence applications.
Benton cautioned that smart eyewear is expected to generate negative gross margin for the balance of 2026 as production ramps and overhead shifts into cost of revenue. He said Enovix expects gross margins to improve as volumes scale, but did not provide a break-even volume target.
Drone and defense pipeline expands Enovix said its South Korea-made product pipeline increased 41% from the first quarter to approximately $183 million in estimated peak annual production value. More than half of the increase came from drone opportunities, which now exceed $100 million. The company said more than $40 million of the broader pipeline involves customers actively evaluating or testing cells, or designing them into products.
The company’s MX-1-B01 battery is designed for drones and other applications requiring high gravimetric energy density and high continuous and pulse discharge performance. Talluri said the battery offers approximately 360 Wh/kg and could support uses including public safety, interceptor drones and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance applications.
Enovix has ordered additional MX-1-B01 production equipment for South Korea and expects it to become operational in mid-2027. Initial commercial shipments and revenue are expected after capacity comes online and customer programs complete qualification. During the question-and-answer session, Benton said the new equipment is expected to support roughly 1 million units of capacity.
The company said its South Korea supply is Trade Agreements Act compliant, while it expects National Defense Authorization Act compliance across multiple product stock-keeping units. Its drone battery completed UN 38.3 transportation testing in July, and Enovix plans to begin sampling numerous customers in the third quarter.
Third-quarter outlook For the third quarter, Enovix forecast revenue of $9 million to $10 million, representing year-over-year growth of approximately 13% to 25%. The outlook assumes continuing defense and industrial shipments from South Korea and a significant sequential increase in smart eyewear deliveries.
Expected non-GAAP operating loss: $29 million to $32 million Expected non-GAAP net loss per share: $0.13 to $0.17 Expected capital expenditures: $8 million to $12 million Management said third-quarter gross margin will be affected by South Korea product mix and early smart eyewear ramp costs. Talluri also cited ongoing manufacturing improvements at Fab2, where cumulative yield improved for a third straight quarter. Zone 1 dicing remained the principal throughput constraint, though yield improved to approximately 84% from 80% in the first quarter.

Enovix offers a unique 3D stacked silicon-anode battery architecture, delivering higher energy density and dramatically reduced fire risk versus conventional lithium-ion batteries. I see a margin of safety at current ENVX price levels, supported by a fortress balance sheet, ramping production, and imminent commercial milestones in smart eyewear and smartphone batteries. Licensing potential for ENVX's architecture, especially post-smartphone commercialization, could drive high-margin, recurring revenues and significantly expand earnings beyond current manufacturing capacity.

Creates Unified Operations Organization Spanning Factory Floor to Customer Delivery as Enovix Scales High-Volume Production July 09, 2026 07:30 ET | Source: Enovix Corporation
FREMONT, Calif., July 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Enovix Corporation (Nasdaq: ENVX) (“Enovix”), a developer and manufacturer of advanced lithium-ion batteries, including proprietary silicon-anode architectures, today announced that Dr. Michael Vyvoda, former Director of Product Operations at Apple who helped scale AirPods manufacturing to high-volume production, will join the Company as Chief Operating Officer, effective July 29, 2026. Michael will report to Dr. Raj Talluri, President and CEO, and will assume responsibility for Enovix’s global manufacturing, supply chain and operations engineering organizations as the Company scales to sustained, high-volume production at its Malaysia and Korea manufacturing facilities, with R&D support from its India operations. Senior Vice President Kihong (“KH”) Park, who leads Global Manufacturing Operations; Ed Casey, who leads Advanced Manufacturing Engineering (AME); and James Wilcox, Vice President of Strategic Sourcing, will report to Michael, establishing a unified operations organization with end-to-end responsibility from the factory floor to customer delivery.
Michael’s appointment comes as Enovix accelerates the commercial execution of its next-generation battery platforms. As reported in its first quarter 2026 results, Enovix grew revenue 49% year over year to $7.6 million, exceeding the high end of guidance, delivered its sixth consecutive quarter of positive gross profit and expanded its global pipeline for Korea-manufactured products to more than $130 million. Production of Enovix’s silicon-anode battery for smart eyewear is underway following receipt of its first commercial production order of approximately 50,000 units, smartphone qualification continues to advance and the Company recently launched its MX-1™ platform for the rapidly growing drone and defense markets. As these programs scale simultaneously, successfully coordinating manufacturing, supply chain, quality and customer delivery across multiple sites, products and end markets becomes increasingly critical. In his new role, Michael will lead this next phase of operational execution, driving a disciplined, repeatable manufacturing ramp across Enovix’s global operations.
“Michael brings exactly the kind of broad, cross-functional operating leadership Enovix needs at this stage,” said Dr. Talluri. “We are scaling into sustained, multi-site, high-volume manufacturing across smartphone, smart eyewear, defense and industrial platforms simultaneously. Michael has done this before — building manufacturing organizations that successfully transition products from introduction to high-volume production while improving yield, throughput, cost and operational discipline. Just as importantly, he understands how operational excellence translates into customer success, commercial execution and long-term shareholder value. With Michael, KH, Ed and James, Enovix now has a deeply experienced, fully integrated operations leadership team. Michael’s arrival further strengthens my confidence in our ability to execute our manufacturing ramp across these programs.”
Dr. Vyvoda brings more than 25 years of operations and manufacturing leadership experience spanning high-growth startups and global technology leaders. He joins Enovix from Magrathea Metals, where he served as Chief Operating Officer, leading operations for the company’s electrolytic magnesium development platform. Previously, he was Chief Operating Officer at Aircapture, where he took direct air capture technology from early development through commercialization, achieving successive generations of capital cost reduction. Earlier, Michael spent more than five years at Apple as Director, Product Operations for Audio Products, where he helped scale AirPods manufacturing from new product introduction to high-volume production across multiple Asian manufacturing sites, while leading cost reduction initiatives to support margin expansion. His operations background also includes senior manufacturing roles at ThinFilm Electronics, GT Advanced Technologies, Twin Creeks Technologies, SanDisk and Matrix Semiconductor. Michael holds a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley and a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Michigan.
“Enovix is at an inflection point — scaling from technology leadership into sustained, high-volume commercial manufacturing,” said Dr. Michael Vyvoda. “Scaling manufacturing at these levels requires repeatable processes, disciplined execution, operational visibility, continuous improvement and relentless cost reduction — all while upholding the highest standards of quality and safety. What drew me to Enovix is the rare combination of genuinely differentiated technology and customer demand across multiple large end markets. I’m looking forward to working with KH, Ed, James and the broader operations and engineering teams to scale a world-class manufacturing system supporting multiple high-volume product platforms for Enovix’s smartphone, smart eyewear, defense and industrial customers.”
Dr. Vyvoda’s appointment completes the deliberate strengthening of Enovix’s operating leadership as the Company advances from technology development to commercial-scale manufacturing, following the earlier additions of Ed Casey as Vice President, Operations, leading Advanced Manufacturing Engineering, and Sanghyuck Park as Senior Director, Advanced Manufacturing Engineering.

Bank of America has initiated coverage of battery maker Enovix Corporation (NASDAQ: ENVX) with a Neutral rating and a $6 price target, highlighting both the company’s technological promise and near-term execution risks.
Enovix is developing next-generation lithium-ion batteries with a 100% silicon-anode design, targeting high-energy applications in smartphones, smart eyewear, and defense equipment. Its batteries, featuring the AI-1 smartphone platform, offer energy densities of over 900 Wh/L and advanced safety features such as the BrakeFlow intra-cell safety network, which localizes internal shorts, a common failure mode in high-energy-density batteries.
“Enovix is demonstrating technical milestones across multiple segments, but early manufacturing hurdles and long smartphone qualification periods limit near-term visibility,” Bank of America analysts wrote.
The firm noted that while the total addressable market is large and the company’s technology could offer a two-year lead over competitors, gross margins are expected to remain negative through late 2026 or early 2027. Operating and EBITDA margins, as well as cash flow, are also likely to stay in the red for several years as Enovix invests in scaling production.
Analysts cited potential upside from faster-than-expected product qualification or expansion into adjacent markets, while risks include further testing delays and design adjustments.
Enovix is currently navigating its first major commercialization cycle with production spread across Malaysian and Korean facilities, aiming for eventual high-volume smartphone output.

Enovix Begins Commercial Production of Silicon-Anode Smart Eyewear Battery
Enovix Advances Toward Smartphone Qualification Completion
FREMONT, Calif., May 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Enovix Corporation (Nasdaq: ENVX) (“Enovix”), a developer and manufacturer of advanced lithium-ion batteries, including proprietary silicon-anode architectures, today reported financial results for the first quarter of 2026. The Company will host a live webcast at 5:00 PM ET / 2:00 PM PT to discuss the results and provide a business update. To register for the webcast, please visit: https://enovix-q1-2026.open-exchange.net/.
Commercialization Progress
“Smartphones remain our priority as we advance toward completing qualification with our lead customer and prepare for commercial production for the most demanding market in consumer electronics,” said Dr. Raj Talluri, President and CEO of Enovix. “We aligned with our lead smartphone customer on a silicon-specific qualification framework — a significant step forward in completing this process. Our second smartphone OEM customer has also acknowledged that the legacy 0.7C cycle-life test is not appropriate for silicon batteries. We are discussing a replacement qualification framework expected to be consistent with the one adopted by our lead customer. We believe this addresses the primary structural barrier to qualification of our 100% silicon anode batteries and reinforces the broader applicability across the smartphone market. Based upon results to date, we continue to see encouraging performance trends across energy density, fast charge, and safety metrics, while cycle-life testing under these enhanced protocols remains ongoing. We recognize this qualification process has taken longer than we originally anticipated — these updated frameworks represent the clearest path to completing it. Beyond smartphones, our defense business continues to generate strong commercial momentum. In addition, our smart eyewear battery is entering early production.”
Cycle-life testing is now progressing under these updated evaluation frameworks, with results approaching performance thresholds. These frameworks extend testing duration while providing improved visibility into real-world performance across multiple operating conditions. Final qualification timing will depend on completion of testing and customer validation processes. These updated protocols increase testing rigor and duration rather than reduce qualification requirements. The Company is also continuously advancing its core battery platform, expected to deliver further cycle-life improvements and represent additional product qualification pathways. This supports our expectation for a targeted system-level deployment in the second half of 2026 with a lead smartphone OEM to confirm in-field performance ahead of broader commercial introduction. Simultaneously, we are in collaboration with our lead customer on the battery form factor for next year’s product launch.
Customer engagement continues to expand across AI-powered applications requiring high energy density in compact form factors. In smart eyewear, Enovix has begun initial shipments and expects to ramp manufacturing in the third quarter to support a leading smart eyewear reference platform. We expect to produce approximately 50,000 units in 2026 and increase into 2027 as downstream deployments expand. We believe this represents an important initial validation that our 100% silicon-anode architecture can be manufactured at commercial scale.
In parallel, Enovix sees growing demand across drone, defense, and industrial applications, securing new customer design wins during Q1 2026 in each of these markets with deployments expected in 2027. The Company’s global pipeline for products manufactured in Korea now exceeds $130 million, with the majority driven by rapidly expanding drone applications, where demand for high-performance battery solutions continues to outpace available supply and creates opportunity for an additional scaled, high-performance supplier. We believe Enovix is positioned to emerge as that differentiated supplier in this rapidly expanding market.
MX-1™ Drone Product Launch
To further support growth in these markets, Enovix is launching MX-1 — short for Mission Execution — a platform designed for applications requiring rugged design, rapid discharge, and high gravimetric energy density. MX-1 is the Company's first silicon-enhanced product line, developed by its integrated R&D and operations teams, and manufactured in our South Korea factory. MX-1 builds on a proven graphite-anode architecture, already deployed with leading South Korean defense contractors. The first MX-1 platform product — MX1-B01 drone cell — with 360 Wh/kg energy density and extended cycle life, positioning Enovix competitively with leading high-performance battery suppliers. Looking ahead, our next generation product is targeted for 2027 with a goal of reaching 400 Wh/kg.
Technology Progress
Enovix produced its first AI-2 engineering samples this quarter, a next-generation smart eyewear battery expected to deliver more than 20% higher volumetric energy density than AI-1. AI-2 leverages the EX-3M technology node, which reduces separator and current collector thickness, improves packaging efficiency, and increases cathode voltage. Customer sampling is planned for later in the second quarter of 2026. The same EX-3M innovations are also expected to support a step-function in performance gains for Enovix's future smartphone batteries.
Manufacturing Readiness Progress
Enovix continued to improve execution across Fab2 production zones. Zone 1 dicing — a key throughput driver — delivering step-level yield of approximately 80% in Q1, demonstrating continued progress in throughput and yield. To further improve throughput at the dicing stage, the Company is implementing a hybrid dicing configuration strategy combining laser and mechanical dicing. This approach allows Enovix to apply the most effective technique at each step and is expected to increase production rates and support early commercial demand as qualification progresses.
Leadership
As previously announced, Enovix recently appointed Steve Bakos as Senior Vice President of Worldwide Sales to help drive its next phase of commercial expansion. Bakos brings more than 35 years of global semiconductor sales leadership, most recently serving as Vice President of Corporate Account Sales at Infineon Technologies. Earlier in his career, he held senior sales, distribution and marketing leadership roles at Linear Technology, Intersil, and Exar. His appointment reflects expanding market opportunities and Enovix’s commitment to building the commercial infrastructure needed for scaled revenue growth.
First Quarter 2026 Financial Results
(in millions, except percentages)
First quarter 2026 revenue of $7.6 million exceeded the high end of the Company’s guidance range and increased 49% year-over-year, primarily reflecting continued strength in defense and industrial shipments. Cells manufactured through Enovix’s South Korea operations continue deployment across defense applications, including aerial drones, subsea systems and munitions platforms, while next-generation silicon-anode developments position Enovix to support future higher-performance applications. Operational experience from these programs continues to inform manufacturing improvements as Enovix prepares for commercial-scale battery production. Revenue growth this quarter reflects increasing traction in markets capable of supporting broader scale over time.GAAP gross profit was $1.6 million and non-GAAP gross profit was $2.0 million in 1Q26. Non-GAAP gross margin improved to 26.3%, reflecting improved production volumes and continued progress in manufacturing execution, marking the sixth consecutive quarter of positive gross profit on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis. This marks a continued progression toward economically scalable production.Net cash used in operating activities of $33.1 million in 1Q26, compared to an outflow of $16.9 million in 1Q25. Free cash flow was an outflow of $36.3 million in 1Q26, compared to an outflow of $23.2 million in 1Q25 primarily reflecting changes in working capital, the timing of capital expenditures, continued investment in manufacturing scale-up, and higher interest expense associated with the semi-annual interest payment of the Company’s convertible notes issued in the third quarter of 2025.Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled approximately $582.7 million at quarter-end, providing liquidity to support qualification completion and commercialization scale-up. Enovix continues to prioritize disciplined capital allocation as it advances manufacturing scale-up and commercialization, while maintaining flexibility to pursue select strategic opportunities. No shares were repurchased during the quarter under the Company’s previously authorized share repurchase program. The Company continues evaluating disciplined capital deployment alternatives under its existing authorization. First Quarter 2026 Financial Summary

Chairman’s First Quarter 2026 Summary
Every quarter just prior to the board meeting, I attend a six-hour meeting directly with Enovix “techies” to get updated on R&D and our new Malaysian factory, so that I can write a relevant report addressing investor feedback and concerns.
The Enovix battery is the single most difficult project I’ve ever worked on, beginning in 2012 when I joined Enovix as an investor and board member. In those private-company days, the “board meetings” were mostly used to review the latest experiments. The original Enovix founders recruited me to invest partly because my PhD thesis was about using hydrazine (literally rocket fuel), which etches silicon strictly along crystal planes, to create nearly perfect grooves in silicon wafers on which I made transistors and simple Integrated Circuit (IC) chips at the Stanford IC laboratory, a world-class center of excellence on “Moore’s Law.” Enovix had used the same technique to make lithium-ion batteries inside grooves in silicon wafers. I agreed to join Enovix with the logic of “how hard could it be to make a battery with five-micron geometries inside the grooves in a silicon wafer where I had already made sub-micron transistors?” The answer is 14 years hard and counting.
The lithium atom is 0.15 nanometers in diameter, or 3,700 times smaller than a wavelength of green light. It is arguably the sharpest knife in the world, which easily slices between the layers of silicon atoms in a wafer, turning a once-sturdy crystal into “mush” after just 10 battery charge-discharge cycles. We never got the battery-in-silicon to work. When the founders of Enovix were down to their last $200,000 of venture money, they postulated that they could stack normal battery materials, the anode layer (silicon on copper foil) and cathode layer (cobalt oxide on aluminum foil) to create the same effective structure as they had on silicon wafers. I literally advised, “Do your last silicon wafer experiment and die like men,” but they were right and made the new structure work on the first try, convincing investors, including me, to continue to support them. Today, we routinely achieve a 500-cycle life, same as the 500-cycle standard in place for years, but not yet the 800-cycle level needed for today’s smart phones.
Last quarter I reported that we had passed 70 of the 75 battery specifications of our most demanding smart phone customer. Today the score card stands at 72 of 75, with two life cycle tests and one below-freezing power test in front of us. I also reported that of the manufacturing steps in our new automatic manufacturing line, all but one yielded above 80%. Today, all but two steps yield above 90% with the other two at approximately 80% and 88%. I now believe our new battery line is going to work with good yield, but I warn that, as in Moore’s Law for silicon, bringing on an all-new manufacturing line is a two-year journey that we are only halfway through. Today, despite making thousands of batteries, the line does not run fast enough due to the slow speed of laser cutting the hard cobalt oxide cathode. We have decided not to buy the additional (approximately $1 million each) lasers required to achieve 1,350 uph, based on economics. Meanwhile, we have been working for over a year on standard die cutting technology to replace laser cutting, and are now able to make thousands of batteries per quarter while we work on line speed.
My focus is now back on R&D – getting the battery cycle life up to 800 cycles. Meanwhile, we are sampling production-worthy batteries for smart eyewear, a market in which we continue to have a leading product that does meet the required specs. The good news is that our smart eyewear batteries use 12 times less raw material than a cellphone battery, and thus run faster with higher yield through our line. We have already shipped smart eyewear sample batteries to 15 customers and expect to ship 50,000 samples and prototypes in 2026.
After 14 years, it would be foolish to project quick success, but we are without a doubt moving consistently in the right direction.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes the use of non-GAAP financial measures, which are intended to provide supplemental information regarding our performance. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP gross profit (loss), non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP research and development expense, non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expense, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net loss attributable to Enovix shareholders, non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share, free cash flow, and other non-GAAP measures that are included in this press release.
We use these non-GAAP measures to supplement our financial reporting and to evaluate ongoing operations and results, facilitate internal planning and forecasting, and assess performance against prior periods, industry peers, and the broader market. These non-GAAP measures are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP results. Industry peers and other companies may calculate similar non-GAAP measures differently. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations, including but not limited to, that they exclude certain expenses that are required under GAAP, which adjustments reflect the exercise of judgment by management. We believe that these non-GAAP measures, when considered together with the GAAP results, provide investors with an additional understanding of our operating performance. Reconciliations of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure can be found in the tables at the end of this press release.
While Enovix provides second quarter 2026 guidance for non-GAAP loss from operations, non-GAAP net loss per share and capital expenditures, we are unable to provide without unreasonable effort a GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation of these projected non-GAAP measures, and we have not provided a quantitative reconciliation in reliance on the unreasonable efforts exception under Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K. Such reconciliation to the corresponding GAAP financial measure cannot be provided without unreasonable effort because of the inherent difficulty in accurately forecasting the occurrence and financial impact of the various adjustments that have not yet occurred, are out of our control, or cannot be reasonably predicted, including but not limited to change in fair value of common stock, stock-based compensation and related tax effects, legal costs related to shareholder lawsuit, gain on bargain purchase of assets, acquisition-related costs, and restructuring costs. As a result, we are unable to assess the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a material impact on our future GAAP financial results.

Free Cash Flow Reconciliation
We define “Free Cash Flow” as (i) net cash from operating activities less (ii) capital expenditures, net of proceeds from disposals of property and equipment, all of which are derived from our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow. The presentation of non-GAAP Free Cash Flow is not intended as an alternative measure of cash flows from operations, as determined in accordance with GAAP.
We believe Free Cash Flow is a useful measure for investors because it provides insight into the cash generated or used by our operations after funding capital expenditures, and it helps assess our ability to pursue strategic growth initiatives. We use Free Cash Flow internally to evaluate performance, support decision-making, and measure our progress toward profitability and cash flow breakeven.
This non-GAAP measure may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies.

ENVX stock is moving. Watch the price action here. Enovix reported quarterly losses of 14 cents per share, which beat the analyst consensus estimate for losses of 16 cents, according to Benzinga Pro data.
Quarterly revenue came in at $7.6 million, which beat the Street estimate of $6.95 million by 9.34%. The company said the increase in revenue primarily reflects continued strength in defense and industrial shipments.
“Smartphones remain our priority as we advance toward completing qualification with our lead customer and prepare for commercial production for the most demanding market in consumer electronics,” said Dr. Raj Talluri, CEO of Enovix.
Looking AheadEnovix expects second-quarter adjusted losses per share of 17 cents to 13 cents, versus the loss of 15 cents estimate, and revenue in a range of $8 million to $9 million, versus the $8.58 million analyst estimate.

Enovix Corporation (ENVX) came out with a quarterly loss of $0.14 per share versus the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of $0.15. This compares to a loss of $0.15 per share a year ago.
New Year, New Growth: 3 Stocks Under $2B Breaking Out in 2026Enovix NASDAQ: ENVX reported first-quarter 2026 revenue above its guidance range as the battery developer said it is advancing commercial production for smart eyewear, refining smartphone qualification standards with customers and building a larger pipeline in drone, defense and industrial markets.
President and Chief Executive Officer Dr. Raj Talluri said the quarter marked “another meaningful step” in the company’s transition toward commercialization and scale. Chief Financial Officer Ryan Benton said first-quarter revenue totaled $7.6 million, up 49% year over year and above the high end of the company’s guidance range, driven largely by batteries supplied to Korean military contractors. Non-GAAP gross margin was 26.3%, marking the sixth consecutive quarter of positive gross profit on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, Benton said.

Best Stocks Under $15? 3 Low-Priced Picks With UpsideNon-GAAP operating expenses were $30.8 million, reflecting investments in customer qualification, research and product development, and smart eyewear production readiness. Non-GAAP loss from operations was $28.8 million, better than the company’s guidance range of $29 million to $32 million. Non-GAAP net loss per share was $0.14. Enovix ended the quarter with approximately $582.7 million in cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities.
Smart Eyewear Production Begins Talluri said Enovix began commercial production of its AI-1 battery for its lead smart eyewear customer’s reference platform, with initial shipments underway and production expected to ramp through the second half of 2026. He said multiple customers are in the process of launching smart eyewear products.
5 Hot Stocks With Summer Buybacks You Can Cash In OnDuring the question-and-answer session, Talluri said the company expects about 50,000 smart eyewear battery units in 2026 and said volumes “should be in the millions next year,” though he cautioned that the exact scale remains difficult to predict. He described smart eyewear as a rapidly growing market in which battery life is a major product constraint.
The company also produced first engineering samples of AI-2 for smartwear, which Talluri said delivered more than 20% higher volumetric energy density compared with AI-1. The improvement came from reducing inactive material and increasing cathode voltage, he said. Customer sampling of AI-2 is planned for later in the quarter, and Talluri said Enovix has already received initial sampling orders and engagement commitments from several leading smart eyewear companies.
Smartphone Qualification Framework Shifts Enovix said it has aligned with Honor on an updated qualification framework for silicon anode smartphone batteries. Talluri said legacy smartphone qualification protocols were designed around graphite-based batteries and included a 0.7C discharge requirement, which he said can artificially stress silicon anode cells at rates far above typical smartphone usage.
According to Talluri, smartphone usage typically remains below 0.2C, and the revised framework prioritizes a version of a 0.2C cycle test that began in the first quarter. He said the 0.7C test has been removed as a “must-have” or gating requirement by Honor, and Enovix’s second smartphone OEM has also agreed to move toward a similar updated framework. Discussions with additional top OEMs are continuing.
Talluri said cycle life testing at the lead customer is more than halfway complete and is tracking under the updated protocol. However, he noted that 0.1C and 0.2C tests can take longer to run than the prior accelerated 0.7C test.
Enovix plans a targeted system-level deployment with Honor in the second half of 2026 to confirm in-field performance ahead of a broader commercial launch in 2027. Talluri said the initial deployment would involve small volumes, describing it as a limited launch or “friends and family” type testing. He also said Enovix has received the battery form factor for Honor’s next-generation device intended for launch in 2027.
Drone and Defense Pipeline Expands Enovix highlighted growing activity in drone, defense and industrial applications. Talluri said the company secured new customer design wins in each of those markets during the first quarter, with deployments expected in 2027. The company’s global pipeline for products manufactured in Korea now exceeds $130 million, he said, with the majority driven by drone applications. In response to an analyst question, Talluri said drones represent more than 60% of that pipeline.
The company formally launched MX1-B01, a drone battery cell delivering 360 Wh/kg energy density, at the Michigan Defense Expo. Talluri said the product is designed for applications requiring extended flight time, high discharge capability and supply chain security. He said the cell is manufactured at Enovix’s South Korea factory and is NDAA compliant, which he described as an advantage for customers focused on defense-related procurement requirements.
Talluri said the initial MX1 cell contains about 60% silicon-carbon material and that the company believes it can increase that percentage over time. The company is targeting MX2 in 2027 with a goal of reaching 400 Wh/kg. He said Enovix expects to tune product characteristics such as cycle life, discharge rate and swelling depending on customer requirements.
Benton said Enovix is already spending capital to add equipment to an existing building at its Nonsan facility in South Korea and has “multiple empty buildings” available for future expansion. Talluri said the company acquired nearly 300,000 square feet of factory space through a prior transaction and plans to add capacity in line with demand.
Manufacturing Progress and Guidance Talluri said Enovix continues to improve manufacturing execution at Fab2. Yields in most production zones are nearing or exceeding 90%, while Zone 1 dicing, which he described as the current throughput bottleneck, is producing step-level yields of approximately 80%. The company is implementing a hybrid dicing strategy that combines laser and mechanical approaches.
Benton said the company believes it can reach 90% yield and that mechanical dicing is expected to improve throughput and lower costs over time. Talluri said Enovix has enough laser capacity to meet demand this year and plans to bring the mechanical dicing process online for next year’s demand.
For the second quarter of 2026, Enovix guided for revenue of $8 million to $9 million, reflecting continued growth in defense and industrial shipments and initial smart eyewear revenue as deliveries to its lead customer begin. The company expects a non-GAAP loss from operations of $29 million to $32 million and a non-GAAP net loss per share of $0.13 to $0.17. Capital expenditure payments are projected at $9 million to $13 million, including deferred payments from the first quarter and initial spending to support Korea capacity expansion.
Benton said Enovix has not made any purchases under its previously approved share repurchase authorization. He said the company’s capital deployment priorities remain qualification completion, scaling smart eyewear and defense production capabilities, and selectively pursuing strategic opportunities with a high bar for fit and return.
