Number of Hedge Fund Holders In Q4 2024: 4

SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ:LAES) makes semiconductors and post-quantum cryptography technologies.

The stock is down significantly so far in 2025 due to SEALSQ reporting weak financial results in the past few quarters. The company has seen declining revenues and widening losses.

The company also posted a net loss of $13 million and a profit margin of -65.31% TTM. Plus, there was a temporary trading halt in January that triggered an earlier decline.

Analysts currently think the stock is overvalued, and this is being compounded by the bearish sentiment in the broader semiconductor industry.

The consensus price target of $1.75 implies 22.91% downside.

LAES stock is down 60.49% year-to-date.
