Bullish sentiment
Navitas is being framed as the power-electronics arm of the AI buildout, with multiple long-form theses positioning its GaN and SiC products as the answer to AI data-center power-delivery bottlenecks. Traders highlight a tight 21-EMA flag, a recent SiC package announcement, and a 266%-plus YTD run, with chart watchers eyeing breaks above $24.30. A small undercurrent acknowledges underwater covered calls and worries the stock has run too far, but most posts lean accumulate-on-dips.
Driven by hype
Navitas Semiconductor makes gallium-nitride and silicon-carbide power integrated circuits — the chips that convert and deliver electrical power inside AI servers, EV chargers, and other high-density-power applications. The stock is up 185% year-to-date on the AI power-delivery narrative, but the actual revenue line is moving the wrong way.
• The narrative is doing all the work: Q1 2026 revenue was just $8.6M, down 39% year over year, with negative gross margin and an operating margin of -317% — so the multiple (148x sales, third-highest in the bundle) is paying entirely for the GaN/SiC AI-data-center thesis, not current cash flows.
• Validation comes from index and product, not from numbers: Nasdaq index inclusion in early June brings forced passive buying, and a new SiC package announcement plus a fresh shelf registration give bulls something to point at — all real, none of it changes the income statement.
• The board-level event is the tell: director Dr. Ranbir Singh resigned from the board on June 9 without a stated reason but with active Schedule 13D positions on file from April and May — that combination suggests unresolved boardroom conflict, not routine departure.
• Insider selling is the loudest signal in months: director Singh himself sold $19M and $89.6M of stock across May 27–28 (the bulk of the cluster), director Richard Hendrix sold $4.2M, and director Gary Wunderlich added $3M — over $115M of board-level selling at the exact peak before the board resignation.
The cool-off can run a lot longer if the August 3 Q2 print doesn't show a sequential revenue inflection — without it, the 148x sales multiple compresses toward something tied to actual revenue, and the unresolved boardroom situation is an overhang. A clean Q2 with named hyperscaler design wins is what restarts the move.
