Report is here. No share offerings at this time, LFG
-5G chipset shipments in Q1 of 2026 increased sequentially by approximately 58% to 3,000 units, signaling the anticipated commercial ramp, which is expected to continue throughout the year as additional orders from lead customers are received.
-Expanded licensing agreement with one of the world's largest satellite communications providers to include additional GCT 5G and 4G chipset integrations across next-generation user equipment, reinforcing the Company's role in enabling seamless satellite-terrestrial connectivity, broadening deployment scope, and supporting a multi-phase pathway for increased chipset adoption. The initial 5G chipset shipments to this partner remain on track to begin in the second half of 2026.
"Our first quarter results reflect a meaningful step from last quarter but remain modest in comparison to our mid-and-long-term expectations," said Edmond Cheng, Chief Financial Officer of GCT.

-Gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased to 49.3% compared to 17.7% in the period ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to higher margins from the Company's service offerings and increased share of 5G platform sales throughout the 2026 fiscal first quarter.
-Total operating expenses were $7.1 million, a 9.6% decrease from $7.8 million.
Liquidity
The Company's existing sources of liquidity as of March 31, 2026, include cash and cash equivalents of $7.2 million, net accounts receivable of $2.4 million, and inventory of $1.6 million.

5G Outlook
The Company continues to expect sequential quarterly growth in 5G shipments throughout 2026.
We're looking at increasing revenue every quarter, a 58% increase in shipments is considered moderate to what we'll see coming soon per management. Im bullish af. Gross margin increased to 49%, in line with mobile and communication chip semiconductors of 45-65%, kinda on low side but we're just ramping up production. Decreasing operating cost. Looking good gents.
I know everybody is excited about GCTS and so am I but looking at the history of GCTS and given my experience in small caps into earnings, dont be surprised if we drop hard after earnings one more time and rise again over a few weeks. "sell the news" kind of event
I think we are in classic Wyckoff Accumulation, towards the end of accumulation phase. GCTS is well positioned for future growth, I think it will be explosive into 2027 and 2028 as contracts come in. IMO a drop will be a nice time to add or start a position
edit: beware GCTS still has access to its $75 million ATM offering and only used $75 million of its $200 million shelf registration and has $125 million left. Very possible run ups will be dampened by offerings short term
Just opened a position last week of 9.6k shares at 1.37.
