Losses Narrow To US$21 Million, But Trailing 12 Months Still Deep In The Red
- For Q2 2026, Mobileye Global reported a net loss of US$21 million and basic EPS loss of US$0.03, while over the trailing 12 months losses reached US$4.1b on US$2.0b of revenue.
- What stands out for the bearish narrative is that analysts expect revenue to grow 7.1% per year but still do not see profitability within three years, even though Q2 revenue of US$508 million sits within a relatively tight band of US$438 million to US$558 million seen in recent quarters.
- Critics highlight that trailing 12 month losses have grown at about 66.8% per year over the past five years, which aligns with the concern that the business has not yet converted revenue scale into lasting profitability.
- At the same time, the current share price of US$8.05 sits close to the bearish analyst price target of US$8.00 implied in the cautious narrative, which matches the idea that the market could already be pricing in many of these profitability risks.
Revenue Around US$2.0b TTM Versus Higher Growth Forecasts
- On a trailing 12 month basis to Q2 2026, Mobileye Global generated US$2.0b in revenue compared with analyst forecasts that call for revenue growth of about 14.9% per year, above the 12.7% per year US market benchmark.
- Supporters of the bullish narrative point to these higher growth forecasts, especially the expected 88.21% per year earnings growth and the idea that design wins and multi camera ADAS programs could justify those numbers, yet the trailing loss of US$4.1b creates a clear tension.
- Consensus narrative backers argue that current revenue levels provide a base from which stronger growth could flow, but the fact that the company is still unprofitable over the last year means those forecasts rely on a meaningful shift in margins from the historical pattern of widening losses.
- What is striking is that even with revenue in a US$1.9b to US$2.0b range over recent trailing periods, EPS on a trailing 12 month basis sits around a loss of US$4.98 per share, so bulls need both faster revenue growth and much tighter cost control to reach their targets.
Premium P/S Of 3.4x Versus Peers And DCF Fair Value
- The stock trades on a P/S ratio of 3.4x, compared with 0.6x for the wider US Auto Components industry and 0.8x for peers, while at the same time the data flags a DCF fair value of US$16.64 versus the current share price of US$8.05.
- Supporters of the bullish view see the roughly 51.6% gap to DCF fair value as a potential upside signal, but bears counter that paying a premium P/S multiple for a company with trailing 12 month losses of US$4.1b means the valuation depends heavily on forecasts playing out.
- From the cautious narrative angle, the requirement for Mobileye Global to eventually trade on very high future P/E multiples to justify some analyst targets adds to the concern that the current 3.4x P/S already embeds strong expectations.
- From the optimistic angle, the combination of faster forecast revenue growth and a current price well below both the DCF fair value of US$16.64 and the single allowed analyst target of US$12.66 is used as evidence that the premium sales multiple might be acceptable if profitability improves.
