MetaOptics Posts 891% Revenue Growth
Newly-listed MetaOptics Ltd announced 891% year-on-year revenue growth in its first financial results since its IPO in September 2025. The Singapore-based company reported it remains well-capitalized with S$8.8 million in cash to fund future growth.
MetaOptics, a semiconductor optics company founded in 2021, listed on the Singapore Exchange's Catalist board on September 9, 2025. The company raised S$6 million through its IPO by offering 30 million shares at S$0.20 each. It is considered the first pure-play metalens company to go public. The significant revenue increase was primarily driven by the sale of a direct laser writer to a customer in Taiwan's semiconductor supply chain. Higher global sales of its metalens products and equipment installation services also contributed to the growth. The company's metalens technology targets applications in smartphones, AR/VR devices, and autonomous vehicles. Despite the revenue surge, MetaOptics' net loss widened to S$5.4 million in FY2025, up from S$2 million the previous year. This increase in losses is attributed to one-off IPO-related expenses, increased R&D spending, and higher administrative and marketing costs. The company has been actively expanding, including incorporating a wholly-owned subsidiary in the United States in October 2025 to focus on the design, fabrication, and sales of its components. It also recently showcased new metalens-powered consumer electronics prototypes at CES 2026. In February 2026, Aloysius Chua Hao Peng was appointed as the new CEO to lead future strategic initiatives.
