Navitas Semiconductor Shares Drop Over 12% After Disappointing Earnings Report
Navitas Semiconductor (NASDAQ: NVTS) saw its stock fall more than 12% on Tuesday after reporting disappointing second-quarter results. The chipmaker reported revenue of $10.5 million, a decline from the previous year's $14.5 million and below analysts' expectations for adjusted net income per share. While Navitas beat top-line forecasts, it significantly missed bottom-line projections with an adjusted loss that surprised investors negatively. The company highlighted sequential growth in revenue (22%) as evidence of its strategic shift toward high-power markets like AI data centers. CEO Chris Allexandre emphasized the progress made under this new strategy but could not offset investor concerns over declining year-over-year performance and a significant earnings miss. Navitas also provided guidance for Q3, forecasting $13 million to $14 million in revenue. Despite efforts to pivot away from low-margin consumer products toward higher-growth sectors, the market reacted poorly to the results. Investors are now watching closely whether this strategic shift will lead to sustainable growth and improved financial performance.
