Description: CEVA CEVA December 27, 2025

CEVA, Inc. (NASDAQ:CEVA) designs and licenses silicon and software IP for semiconductor and OEM customers worldwide, covering 5G/5G-Advanced baseband, Bluetooth/Wi-Fi/UWB connectivity, audio DSPs, and AI-focused neural processing units. Its portfolio includes the PentaG2 and PentaG-RAN baseband platforms, Ceva-Waves connectivity suites, and the Ceva-NeuPro line of NPUs for generative and embedded AI.

Key quantitative signals (as of FY 2023) show revenue of roughly $292 million, a 13 % year-over-year increase driven largely by 5G baseband licensing and AI-NPU adoption. The company’s gross margin has hovered around 70 %, reflecting the high-margin nature of IP licensing versus fab-based manufacturing. Sector-wide, global semiconductor spending is projected to grow at a 5 % CAGR through 2029, with 5G infrastructure and edge-AI workloads identified as primary growth engines-both directly aligned with CEVA’s addressable markets.

If you’re looking for a deeper, data-driven valuation framework, ValueRay’s analytical tools can help you model CEVA’s upside under different 5G rollout and AI-on-edge adoption scenarios.
