Navitas pivots to AI data centers as legal risk weighs

AI data center pivot gains traction Navitas is shifting focus to AI data center power, a bigger market than EVs. High-power sales jumped over 50% and now make up most revenue, with AI infrastructure expected to exceed a third of sales by year-end.
This pivot is the core strategic shift driving the company's growth narrative.
Strong financials and guidance Q2 revenue beat at $10.5M, gross margin was 39.5%, and the company has $557M cash with no debt. Q3 guidance implies 28% sequential growth, signaling confidence despite ongoing transitions.
These results and guidance directly support the stock's potential upside.
Claros acquisition expands market The Claros acquisition, worth up to $232.8M, more than doubles Navitas' 2030 market opportunity to over $8B. Magnachip licensing adds royalty revenue and manufacturing reach, boosting long-term growth prospects.
This acquisition significantly broadens the company's addressable market and revenue streams.
Wolfspeed lawsuit threatens sales Wolfspeed's patent lawsuit could block sales, causing the stock to fall 9% and drop 45% in 30 days. The quarter ended June 30 showed negative 10% gross margin and sharply declining revenue amid the mobile/consumer exit.
This legal and financial risk is a major counterweight to the positive developments.

Navitas Buys Claros, Expands AI Power Market

Claros acquisition expands AI data center market Navitas agreed to buy Claros for up to $232.8 million in cash and stock. Claros makes power delivery and voltage regulator tech for AI data centers. The deal more than doubles Navitas's 2030 market to over $8 billion. Shares rose 5-6% on the news.
This is the biggest new event this period and directly explains the stock's move.
AI infrastructure to exceed one-third of sales by year-end Navitas guided that AI infrastructure will be more than one-third of total sales by year-end. Its chips are designed into Nvidia's 800V rack ecosystem. This shows the AI power pivot is gaining real traction, supporting the growth story.
This is new guidance and a key reason investors are optimistic about future revenue.
Negative gross margin and declining revenue Navitas posted a negative 10% gross margin for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, and revenue is down sharply from prior years. The company is pivoting away from mobile and consumer markets. This shows the core business is still losing money on each sale.
This is a real counterweight: the company is not yet profitable and revenue is shrinking.
Magnachip partnership for GeneSiC licensing Magnachip will license Navitas's GeneSiC technology for high-voltage silicon carbide products made in Korea. This adds a manufacturing partner and potential royalty revenue without heavy factory spending. It expands Navitas's reach and validates its technology.
This is a new partnership that could bring royalty revenue and widen adoption.

Navitas: AI Power Wins, Wolfspeed Lawsuit, Q2 Revenue Beat

AI data center power demand Navitas is pushing its gallium nitride and silicon carbide chips into AI data centers, where power delivery is a growing need as facilities get hotter and denser. This opens a large new market beyond EVs, supporting the stock's growth story.
This is a core new demand driver that explains why investors are optimistic about NVTS.
Wolfspeed patent lawsuit Wolfspeed sued Navitas for patent infringement over its gallium nitride and silicon carbide power chips. The stock fell over 9% on the news and is down 45% in 30 days. A legal fight could block sales or force costly changes, a real risk to the business.
This is the main new negative event that has pressured NVTS shares recently.
Q2 revenue beat, high-power growth Navitas reported Q2 revenue of $10.5 million, beating estimates, with high-power sales up over 50% year over year and now the majority of revenue. Gross margin improved to 39.5%, and the company has $557 million in cash with no debt. Q3 guidance implies 28% sequential growth.
This is the latest hard financial evidence that the AI power pivot is working, directly affecting NVTS valuation.
Magnachip licensing partnership Magnachip will license Navitas's GeneSiC technology for high-voltage silicon carbide products and make them in Korea. This adds a manufacturing partner and potential royalty revenue, expanding Navitas's reach without heavy factory spending.
A new partnership that could broaden Navitas's technology adoption and revenue streams.

Allegro's AI, EV and Robotics Growth Drives Broad Rally

AI data center and robotics growth Allegro's data center revenue hit a record 14% of sales, up 41% from the prior quarter, and total revenue rose 22.8% to $890 million. This shows the company is no longer just an auto chip maker, opening a new growth path that can lift the stock.
This is the core fundamental driver behind the period's gains, showing where future growth is coming from.
New safety chip for electric braking Allegro launched the industry's first ASIL-D certified power chip with a built-in wheel-speed sensor interface for electromechanical braking. It can save up to $4 per car and free half the board space, strengthening Allegro's auto chip leadership and future sales.
A concrete new product that expands Allegro's addressable market and reinforces its competitive edge.
Sector rebound and Intel-Apple deal lift sentiment Allegro shares jumped 7.2% on the Intel-Apple chip deal and later 11% as the semiconductor sector rebounded from a selloff. These moves reflect broad industry optimism, not company-specific news, but they still push ALGM's price up in the short term.
Captures the market-wide forces that amplified Allegro's stock moves during the period.
Strong revenue but earnings miss and valuation caution Allegro beat revenue estimates with $243.2 million, up 26% year-on-year, but missed EPS forecasts. Meanwhile, the BIS warned AI valuations may be overextended. This is a real counterweight: growth is strong, but profitability and high expectations remain risks.
Provides the necessary balance, showing that not everything is positive and risks remain.
