Peraso Expands Executive Stock-Option Grants Tied to Three-Year Share Performance

Peraso’s leadership is steering compensation toward long-term value creation, as indicated by fresh stock-option awards disclosed in recent SEC filings. The entire senior management team received meaningful option grants last Monday, linking top executives’ remuneration to the company’s share-price trajectory over the next three years.

• Event: Grant of 60,000 stock options to each of the CEO, CFO, CTO, and COO
• Exercise Price: $0.87 per share (close to the previous session’s finish)
• Vesting Schedule: 1/36 of the grant vests each month over 36 months
• Next Milestone: Q4 2025 results expected to be released in mid-March 2026

The filings dated February 11 and 12 spell out the grant mechanics. With an exercise price of $0.87, the options align closely with the prior day’s close of $0.8791. Because vesting occurs progressively over three years (1/36 per month), the awards create a clear incentive for management to build out Peraso’s position in the 60 GHz mmWave technology space. The options have a term expiring in February 2036.

Market Context and Technology Focus

Recent trading activity showed the stock moving little, closing unchanged on Thursday. Peraso remains a micro-cap, yet its specialization in high-bandwidth applications—such as 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA), defense communications, and infrastructure for autonomous platforms—keeps it a frequent topic in industry analyses. The sector’s volatility is reflected in a 52-week trading range of $0.52 to $2.37.

Should investors sell immediately? Or is it worth buying Peraso?

Outlook for the Financial Results

Whether Peraso can surpass its cautious Q4 outlook remains to be seen. In Q3 2025, revenue reached $3.23 million, topping expectations, and management guided Q4 2025 revenue to a range of $2.8 million to $3.1 million. The market’s reaction to that guidance was muted at the time.

The forthcoming annual report for the fourth quarter and full-year 2025, due in mid-March 2026, should provide clarity on execution. The pivotal factor will be the scaling of the mmWave business, which will determine whether the newly granted options pay off for the leadership team.
