Fun facts about CEVA INC

Quirks, history, and lore behind CEVA — the kind of stuff that makes a stock memorable.

  • 1
    The Basics
    U.S. semiconductor IP company · listed on Nasdaq · operates in the fabless model, designing chips it never actually manufactures.
  • 2
    The Numbers
    Annual revenue in the range of $100 million — small by chip-industry standards, but its licensing and royalty model means nearly every dollar is high-margin.
  • 3
    The History
    The company traces its roots to an Israeli semiconductor firm and went through a corporate spin-off in the early 2000s to become an independent, publicly traded IP licensor.
  • 4

  • 5
    The Lore
    Its DSP and wireless connectivity IP ends up inside billions of devices — think smartphones, IoT gadgets, and base stations — without its name ever appearing on the box.
  • 6
    The Giveaway
    If your phone connects to a 4G or 5G network, there's a solid chance it's running on a DSP core licensed from this Maryland-headquartered IP specialist whose name is also a Hebrew word meaning 'headquarters.'
