The development pushed NVTS to a fresh 52-week peak of $19.93.
Cyient Semiconductors revealed seven GaN power devices featuring 650V ratings, targeting applications across AI data centers, electric mobility, consumer rapid charging, telecommunications infrastructure, and industrial power operations.
This represents Cyient Semiconductors’ inaugural commercial GaN product lineup, with both entities characterizing it as a significant achievement for India’s domestic power semiconductor industry.
The partnership between the two firms was initially disclosed in December 2025. Through this arrangement, Cyient obtains licensing rights to Navitas’s GaN technology for deployment within India and serves as an alternative source for certain Navitas GaN components already in volume production.
Gallium nitride-based power semiconductors deliver enhanced switching speeds, reduced energy losses, and superior thermal performance compared to conventional silicon components.
The initial product wave arrives in DPAK packages and incorporates drive, control, and protection capabilities along with EMI management and current sensing features. Cyient Semiconductors plans to commence sampling these products by June 2026.
Chris Allexandre, President and CEO of Navitas Semiconductor, stated: “India is a key market in Navitas’s high growth, high power strategy with Navitas 2.0. This launch furthers our vision of a robust local supply chain and manufacturing in India for the government’s ‘Make in India’ initiatives.”
Sustained Upward Trajectory
Monday’s rally reflects broader momentum for the stock. NVTS has experienced substantial appreciation, generating a 12-month return of 868%. Market capitalization currently stands at $4.49 billion.
The company disclosed Q1 2026 results that exceeded revenue projections. Revenue reached $8.6 million compared to expectations of $8.18 million, though the per-share loss of $0.15 surpassed the anticipated $0.05.
Navitas also projected a 16% sequential revenue increase for Q2 2026, reflecting its continued expansion into high-power market segments.
Wall Street Response
Needham reacted to the Q1 figures by elevating its NVTS price objective to $21.00 from $13.00, maintaining its Buy recommendation. The firm highlighted the company’s recent execution and guidance that surpassed consensus.
InvestingPro has indicated the stock currently trades above its Fair Value assessment, a consideration worth noting given the velocity of the recent advance.
The company continues to operate at a loss, recording negative earnings of $0.62 per share over the trailing twelve months.
Cyient Semiconductors’ GaN product range addresses consumer USB-PD chargers, laptop and mobile power adapters, AC-DC power supplies, AI data center and telecommunications power systems, and electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
