“Raspberry Pi has posted a record first half after a well-timed memory stockpile helped it ride out soaring #prices and #shortages.

The #Cambridge-based company reported revenue of $256.9 million for the six months ended June 30, up 90 percent from $135.5 million a year earlier, while pre-tax profit more than tripled to $19.6 million.

Raspberry Pi shipped 4.2 million boards during the six-month period, up 17 percent year-on-year, while its order backlog doubled to 2.6 million units.
Behind some of those rather healthy numbers is a bet #RaspberryPi made last year, when it built up a sizeable stash of memory before the market tightened.”

"The decision in FY 2025 to build significant strategic #memory inventory has allowed us to maintain product availability at a time when smaller competitors have struggled to secure allocation," — Eben Upton
