Murata Pushes Capacitor Design with World's First 10µF/50Vdc MLCC in 0805-inch Size for Automotive Applications
Advancements in advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving (AD) technologies necessitate deploying an increased number of integrated circuits (ICs) within vehicle systems. This surge in ICs simultaneously leads to a greater demand for supporting high-capacitance passive components while imposing tighter spatial constraints – as a greater number of capacitors must be accommodated on increasingly crowded automotive printed circuit boards (PCBs).
Designed for 12V automotive power lines, the GCM21BE71H106KE02 capacitor leverages Murata's proprietary ceramic material and thinning technologies to help engineers to save PCB space and reduce the overall capacitor count, resulting in smaller, more efficient, and reliable automotive systems. As the first automotive-specific MLCC to achieve a 10µF capacitance with a 50Vdc rating in the compact 0805-inch size the GCM21BE71H106KE02 represents a significant advancement in capacitance efficiency. It offers roughly 2.1 times the capacitance of Murata's previous 4.7µF/50Vdc product, despite sharing the same physical size. Furthermore, compared to the previous 10µF/50Vdc MLCC in the larger 1206-inch size (3.2 x 1.6 mm), the new MLCC occupies approximately 53% less space, providing substantial space savings for automotive applications.
Murata will continue to pursue further miniaturization and increased capacitance of MLCCs, while expanding its product lineup to meet the evolving needs of the automotive market. These efforts will support the industry as they look to develop higher-performance and more multifunctional vehicles. In addition, by downsizing electronic components, Murata aims to reduce material usage and improve production efficiency per unit, helping to lower electricity consumption at its manufacturing sites and reduce overall environmental impact.

Release Date: August 14, 2025 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. Positive Points SuperCom Ltd (NASDAQ:SPCB) reported a significant increase in operating income, nearly tripling to $1.1 million. The company achieved a record first half GAAP net income of $5.3 million, marking an approximate 80% increase from the prior year. SuperCom Ltd (NASDAQ:SPCB) expanded its gross margin to 59.1%, indicating improved profitability. The company secured over 70 multi-year government projects since 2018, demonstrating strong business development. SuperCom Ltd (NASDAQ:SPCB) has a high win rate of over 65% in competitive RFPs in Europe, showcasing its competitive edge. Negative Points Revenue for Q2 2025 was $7.14 million, slightly lower than the $7.5 million reported in Q2 2024. Net income for the quarter decreased to $1.1 million from $2.2 million in the same quarter last year. The company faces challenges in predicting revenue growth and margin expansion due to the variability in project timelines and structures. SuperCom Ltd (NASDAQ:SPCB) operates in a fragmented US market, requiring more effort in the sales process. Future quarters may experience margin fluctuations depending on the project mix, indicating potential volatility in financial performance. Q & A Highlights Warning! GuruFocus has detected 3 Warning Signs with SPCB. Q: Can you elaborate on the expansion opportunities with the contract in Israel? Is it about layering in your devices on the existing system, or does it require an expansion in the use of monitoring in the country? A: It's a great question. We have surpassed 1,500 units delivered, growing from the 1,200 units announced last quarter. The project encompasses all electronic monitoring (EM) programs in Israel, including GPS tracking, house arrest, alcohol monitoring, and domestic violence solutions. Growth is expected within existing programs and potential new ones, leveraging our technological advances.

Q: Considering your opportunities in Europe versus the fragmented US market, where should we expect growth over the next 4 to 6 quarters? A: In Europe, we continue to bid on various projects, ranging from small add-ons to large new projects. However, the US market presents a significant opportunity, expected to grow six times the size of Europe. The US market's fragmented nature allows for faster growth through county-level contracts and partnerships, as seen with over 30 contracts signed in the past year. The US offers higher margins and recurring revenue potential, making it a key focus alongside Europe. Q: With your stronger balance sheet, how are you considering M&A to accelerate US growth compared to organic growth through sales expansion? A: We've been considering acquisitions, especially of value-added resellers in the US, which can provide cost synergies and faster market expansion. Our technology is now well-suited for the US market, and with a small sales team, we've secured over 30 contracts. Acquiring resellers could enhance our growth, and we are in discussions with several partners about potential acquisitions. Q: Your strong earnings were driven by margin expansion rather than revenue growth. Can you provide more insight into the opportunities for further margin expansion? A: We've been optimizing operations, particularly in Europe, by consolidating services and improving profitability. The US market inherently offers higher margins due to centralized cloud operations. While project timelines and structures vary, leading to quarterly margin fluctuations, the general trend is positive. Long-term, as more revenues come from the US and operational efficiencies increase, we expect further margin expansion. Q: How does your visibility on margin expansion compare to revenue growth? A: It's challenging to predict exact growth rates due to varying project timelines and structures. While we understand how to improve margins, the timing of project stages is uncertain. Over time, with more customers and a diversified base, we expect better visibility on both revenues and margins, driven by our global expansion efforts.
