Senstar Technologies Surges Ahead in Q2 2026: Revenue Up 8%, Return to Profitability

Senstar Technologies, a leading provider of LiDAR solutions and security systems, has announced its second quarter 2026 results, showcasing impressive growth and a return to profitability. The company's revenue reached $10.4 million, an 8% year-over-year increase, driven by strong performance in the EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa) region.

CEO Fabien Haubert emphasized that LiDAR again performed strongly and continues to be an important contributor to Senstar's growth, citing the contribution of Senstar sales infrastructure to Blickfeld's growth. The combined business is beginning to generate synergies, with Blickfeld reporting positive EBITDA in the second quarter.

Haubert provided context on the demand environment, which remains healthy, driven by strong momentum in utilities, data centers, and airports in the EMEA region. Revenue increased 14% year-over-year and 26% year-to-date, with growth primarily driven by utilities, data centers, airports, and energy.

Asia Pacific was the fastest-growing region in the second quarter, with revenue increasing 93% year-over-year, a rebound from the prior quarter. Growth in the region grew 21% year-to-date, driven by utilities, data centers, and airports, reflecting improved activity in South Asia and Japan. LiDAR sales in the region remain at an early stage, providing an opportunity as adoption develops.

However, the U.S. market experienced a decline of 14% year-over-year and 17% year-to-date, primarily due to project delays related to the federal government shutdown. Despite this correction vertical softness, growth in U.S. LiDAR sales and continued strength in utilities substantially offset the decline.

Senstar continues to add talent, including a new Vice President of Sales, USA and Latin America, with experience across security, LiDAR, utilities, and data centers. The company's four core vertical markets performed mixed results, declining approximately 18% year-over-year primarily due to slower activity in the correction market.

Utilities was a highlight, with sales increasing 17% year-over-year, driven by data centers, telecommunication, and solar farms. Growth was broad-based across regions.
