Revenue Growth Accelerates: 799% Year-Over-Year Surge and Five Consecutive Quarters Up
In its latest earnings report, Energous Wireless Power Solutions (NASDAQ: WATT) announced first quarter 2026 revenue of $3.1 million—a staggering 799% jump from the same period last year, notching its fifth consecutive quarter of growth. The figure also represents a slight uptick from Q4 2025, marking continued operational momentum as the company scales its over-the-air wireless power networks across the enterprise landscape.
Gross Margin Hits 36% with U.S.-Based Manufacturing Boost
The company’s gross profit climbed to $1.1 million, translating to a gross margin of 36%. This milestone comes alongside Energous' first quarter utilizing a new U.S.-based contract manufacturer, increasing capacity and meeting stringent domestic procurement and regulatory standards. Notably, Energous maintains a spotless product record, with zero returns since its PowerBridge PRO began commercial production in 2024.
| Q1 2026 | Q4 2025 | Q1 2025 |

Operational Efficiency Drives Narrowing Losses and Robust Cash Position
Operating expenses fell to $2.94 million, down from $3.70 million the previous year. The improved efficiency helped cut Energous’ GAAP net loss to $1.66 million ($0.43 per share), a 51% improvement over Q1 2025. On a non-GAAP basis, net losses improved by 36% year-over-year. As of March 31, 2026, the company reported cash and equivalents of $36.6 million, bolstered by a $31.9 million capital raise completed in the first quarter. Management expects this liquidity to comfortably support operations through the next twelve months.

Enterprise Adoption Grows: Fortune 10, AWS Partnerships, and Global Expansion
Energous continues to deepen its engagement with some of the world's largest companies. The company now supports two Fortune 10 commercial deployments—spanning national retail, grocery, and e-commerce fulfillment—with 1,500+ installations complete and a target of roughly 4,700 US locations. International expansion is also underway, as PowerBridge PRO installations extend into Europe and the UK, totaling 14+ new sites abroad and 35 global facilities targeted for 2026.
Enterprise partnerships continue to ramp up: Energous has surpassed fifty customer launches through the AWS Partner site, and achieved AWS ISV Accelerate qualification, further integrating its technology into the enterprise cloud ecosystem. These wins are supported by a growing proof-of-concept pipeline that now stretches across Quick Service Restaurant, grocery, manufacturing, and government verticals.
Product Performance, Quality, and Market Positioning Stand Out
PowerBridge PRO remains the only wireless power platform certified for operation across FCC, EU, and UK 2W standards and is rated for temperatures as low as -30°C—enabling superior performance in demanding cold chain environments. With a record of 99% asset visibility and no product returns since launch, the company demonstrates sustained reliability and enterprise readiness.
Looking Ahead: Strategic Investments and Scalable Growth
Energous’ investments in U.S. production capacity position it to seize further government and regulated-sector opportunities. The company anticipates several pipeline programs reaching commercial decision points in 2026—a crucial year for scaling deployments and enterprise momentum. Management's outlook highlights increasing product adoption, robust cash reserves, and a business model rapidly shifting to commercial scale.
Key Takeaway for Investors
Energous' Q1 2026 performance underscores a breakthrough in commercial execution and operational discipline. Accelerated revenue growth, narrowing losses, and expanding Fortune 10 relationships mark a potential inflection point. With industry-leading certifications, zero product returns, and growing international footprints, the company appears well-positioned for further scaling—but execution through 2026 remains crucial as industry adoption and proof-of-concept initiatives convert to full-scale deployments. For those tracking transformative technologies in asset management and enterprise automation, Energous could be a name to watch as the sector matures.
