Overview
Nordic Semiconductor is a Norwegian fabless semiconductor company and global market leader in Bluetooth Low Energy wireless connectivity chips, which pioneered ultra-low-power wireless solutions now widely used in IoT devices, wearables, and industrial equipment; roughly 90% of revenue still comes from BLE chips, though the company has expanded into Wi-Fi, Thread, and long-range cellular IoT. Q1 2026 revenue grew 24% year-over-year to $192.4 million (beating consensus) with net profit rising to $10.6 million from $1.1 million a year earlier, aided by new nRF92/nRF93 cellular IoT platform launches, as management targets sustained 20%+ annual revenue growth toward a $2 billion revenue goal.
