That much dependence is a risk in itself: if this one line weakens, the whole company feels it directly.
The company closed last year at a loss: costs ran above sales. The picture changes only if spending is reined in.
At this burn rate the cash pile isn’t the pressing question — for now, time is on the company’s side.
We compared this company with its own sector across five subjects.
A score of 50 means class average.
Profit indicators sit around the sector average.
The cash pile is strong; debt and other items pull the grade toward the middle.

Clearly below the class average.
The price is looking for direction — no strong breakout, no collapse.
Growth: Sales growth trails the sector average.
Valuation: The stock trades at a price that looks expensive next to its earnings; that can cap future returns.
The stock trades 45% below its peak. The market has trimmed its expectations for the company.
The company sells $109.6M a year; the problem isn’t sales — it’s costs running above that number.
There is $222.0M in the vault; even if every debt were paid off, $191.5M would remain.
It met or beat analyst expectations in 7 of the last 8 quarters — consistency is a promise kept.
A loss of $10.6M against $109.6M in annual sales.
The growth engine is running at low revs right now. Report-card grade: 20/100.
Today’s price already includes part of tomorrow’s optimism. Report-card grade: 45/100.
On our five-subject report card, CEVA sits behind the class. A low grade doesn’t mean “doomed” — it means “big claim, small proof.”
The takeaway: CEVA’s sales are going backwards, and it closed last year at a loss. The road back runs through both.
The total grade weighs these five subjects against the sector — it isn’t a simple average of the five.
Analysts’ average target sits above today’s price, yet the valuation grade (45/100) says the stock isn’t cheap.
