SEALSQ Corp. (Nasdaq: LAES) released its first‑quarter 2026 results, detailing a significant revenue increase, a key product milestone, and ongoing progress toward a broader hardware launch. The company’s CEO, CFO, and product leadership highlighted the company’s positioning in the post‑quantum cryptography market and its preparation for the upcoming Fab‑out of the QS7001 V2 chip.
Financial Performance
| Metric | Q1 2026 | Q1 2025 | YoY % Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | $4.10 million | $1.36 million | +200 % |
| Close Price (4/6/2026) | $2.12 | – | – |

| 52‑week high (10/14/2025) | $8.71 | – | – |
| Market Capitalization | $440 million | – | – |
The company attributes the 200 % revenue jump to increased sales of its secure hardware platform and the launch of the QS7001 V2 chip in early 2026. The revenue growth reflects both domestic and international sales, with a growing pipeline of partners seeking post‑quantum‑ready solutions.
Operational Milestones
QS7001 V2 Fab‑out – On April 21, 2026, the first production run of the QS7001 V2 chip is expected to depart the fabrication facility. This event marks the end of the pure‑design phase and is a prerequisite for delivering the first engineering samples to partners later in the summer.
Post‑Quantum Cryptography Readiness – The QS7001 V2 incorporates enhanced API protection and is designed to support post‑quantum cryptographic algorithms at scale. The chip is positioned to meet the accelerated demand triggered by Google’s March 31, 2026 research on quantum‑resistant encryption.
International Certification – SEALSQ is advancing certification processes for the QS7001 platform. Recent progress in hardware security modules and compliance testing supports the company’s goal of achieving global recognition for its security solutions.
Market Context
SEALSQ operates in the Information Technology sector, focusing on vertical digital security for manufacturers of IoT devices, branded appliances, and precious objects. The company’s offerings include secure hardware and a management platform for keys and device pairing.
The recent research from Google has shortened the projected timeline for breaking elliptic‑curve cryptography, intensifying the urgency for enterprises to adopt quantum‑resistant solutions. SEALSQ’s product portfolio is positioned to address this shift, offering a hardware‑centric approach that is attractive to CISOs, federal agencies, and regulated enterprises.
Shareholder Activity
On April 7, 2026, CFO John O’Hara sold 20,000 shares of SEALSQ. The transaction did not affect the company’s operational or strategic plans and was disclosed in accordance with SEC regulations.
Summary
SEALSQ Corp. reported a strong first‑quarter revenue growth of 200 %, driven by the launch of its QS7001 V2 chip. The company is on track to begin physical production of the chip on April 21, with engineering samples slated for summer delivery. These milestones, coupled with ongoing certification efforts, position SEALSQ to capitalize on the heightened demand for post‑quantum security solutions following Google’s recent research.
