Unit shipments rose 17% to 4.2 million and the order backlog doubled to 2.6 million units, driving the company's stock up more than 30% over the past week.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Co-founder Eben Upton says supply-chain disruption and rising DRAM prices are pushing more manufacturers toward buying Raspberry Pi's ready-made computer components rather than building their own, which could sustain demand if component shortages persist. The doubling backlog suggests the company will need to ramp up manufacturing quickly, including new capacity in Wales, to avoid delivery delays becoming a drag on growth. Analysts at Peel Hunt view the company as well placed for continued expansion, though that remains their own assessment rather than a guaranteed outcome.
- Revenue rose 90% to $256.9 million and pre-tax profit rose 216% in H1 2025.
- Order backlog doubled to 2.6 million units amid strong Smart Home and Aerospace/Defence demand.
- Rising DRAM prices are reportedly pushing OEMs toward buying rather than building components, per Eben Upton.
