Recent news
most recent scored articles · the chip is the article’s score · click to openCognex Corporation acquired RealSense, Inc. in a transaction dated October 15-16, 2026, according to a filing record.
An analyst initiated coverage on Cognex (CGNX) with a Buy rating, citing the company's position in machine vision and industrial automation, along with its RealSense acquisition that adds exposure to robotic perception markets. The article projects CGNX revenue growth of 15% this year and 11-13% annually over the next five years, with RealSense expected to generate $80-90M in 2026 revenue and grow above 25% long-term.
In September 2026, Cognex launched the In-Sight 1750 Series, an AI-enabled system that reads identifying marks on semiconductor wafers and panels. It is designed to help chip makers trace parts through production, avoid stoppages, and upgrade from the older In-Sight 1740 without retooling their line.
Cognex Corporation (NASDAQ: CGNX) has entered an agreement to acquire RealSense, with law firm Foley & Lardner LLP representing Cognex in the transaction. The article body is truncated and provides no deal value, timeline, or strategic rationale.
Cognex is paying $500 million to buy RealSense, a maker of 3D depth-sensing cameras used in robots, drones and humanoids. The deal adds another $56.5 million in employee retention payouts over three years and about $50 million in restricted stock, and RealSense will spin off its facial-recognition business before the sale closes.
