Capacity constraints and production expansion, demand and capacity planning, visibility and demand outlook, capacity constraints and strategic solutions are the key contradictions discussed in CPS Technologies' latest 2025Q2 earnings call.



Record Revenue and Growth:
- CPS Technologies reported a record revenue of $8.1 million for Q2, up 61% year-over-year.
- The growth was driven by strong customer demand and improved manufacturing output, including the addition of a third shift of production.

Improved Gross Profit and Margins:
- The company reported a gross profit of $1.3 million or approximately 16.5% of sales, compared to a gross loss of $0.2 million last year.
- The increase was due to higher revenue and greater manufacturing efficiencies, with a focus on further improving profitability in the coming quarters.

Increased Defense Spending and SBIR Contracts:
- CPS secured its fourth new SBIR development contract of the year, worth $140,000 with an optional six-month extension of $100,000.
- This was attributed to ongoing strong defense spending and partnerships with the U.S. Navy and Army, demonstrating the potential for future military R&D and commercialization.

AlMax Materials and Market Expansion:
- CPS became the exclusive global licensee of fiber-reinforced aluminum composites (AlMax) and received its first purchase order.
- Expansion into new markets is driven by the superior performance of AlMax materials, which offer exceptional wear resistance and greater strength at both room and elevated temperatures, generating significant interest from customers.

Data Center and HVDC Opportunities:
- While traditional data centers may not be relevant to CPS's solutions, high-voltage DC (HVDC) projects and wind farms present new opportunities.
- These projects, which are actively underway and planned worldwide, can utilize CPS's base plates for heat dissipation, leading to increased revenue and market expansion.
