Bear CaseDownside scenario
$5.0020%

Macroeconomic headwinds and slower-than-expected carrier deployments delay the production ramp of embedded 5G platforms, keeping the company in a net loss position with compressed gross margins below 41%.

Base CaseCentral scenario
$7.7050%

Airgain successfully executes its segment transition, meeting its Q2 2026 guidance of $12.5M to $14.5M in sales and achieving non-GAAP profitability of $0.01 EPS at the midpoint, supported by steady enterprise and automotive design wins.

$9.0030%

Rapid adoption of the FirstNet MegaRange solutions (MegaFi 2 and MegaGo 2) and accelerated Tier 1 MNO 5G home connectivity platform deployments drive sequential revenue growth above 15% and expand gross margins past 45%.
