(Reuters) - Aeva Technologies Inc said on Thursday it signed a deal to develop a sensor for a self-driving car to be made by an "undisclosed large company," and its shares rose 13% even as it reported that its loss ballooned and sales came in far below forecasts.
Aeva reported first-quarter revenue of $300,000, down from $500,000 a year earlier and far below analysts' estimate of $1.38 million, according to Refinitiv estimates. Its adjusted operating loss more than doubled to $15.6 million from $6.1 million a year ago.
