Navitas Semiconductor (NVTS) stock jumped 18% on Monday after its Indian partner, Cyient Semiconductors, officially launched the country’s first gallium nitride (GaN) power integrated circuit family built on Navitas technology.

Navitas Semiconductor Corporation, NVTS

The move sent NVTS to a new 52-week high of $19.93.

Cyient Semiconductors unveiled seven new GaN power devices with 650V ratings, designed for markets including AI data centers, e-mobility, consumer fast charging, telecommunications, and industrial power systems.

It is Cyient Semiconductors’ first commercial GaN product family, and it marks what both companies are calling a milestone for India’s domestic power semiconductor sector.

The two companies first announced their partnership in December 2025. Under the deal, Cyient licenses Navitas’s GaN technology for use in India and acts as a second source for select Navitas GaN devices already in mass production.

GaN-based power semiconductors offer faster switching speeds, lower energy losses, and better heat management than traditional silicon devices.

The first wave of products comes in DPAK packages and integrates drive, control, and protection functions alongside EMI management and current sensing. Cyient Semiconductors expects to begin sampling these products by June 2026.

Strong Momentum Behind the Move

Monday’s pop did not come out of nowhere. NVTS has been on a tear, delivering a 12-month return of 868%. The market cap now sits at $4.49 billion.

The company reported Q1 2026 results that beat revenue expectations. It posted $8.6 million in revenue against a forecast of $8.18 million, though the loss per share of $0.15 came in wider than the expected $0.05.

Navitas also guided for a 16% quarter-over-quarter revenue increase in Q2 2026, pointing to its ongoing push into high-power end markets.

Analyst Reaction

Needham responded to the Q1 results by raising its price target on NVTS to $21.00 from $13.00, while holding its Buy rating. The firm cited the company’s recent performance and guidance that beat expectations.

InvestingPro has flagged the stock as currently appearing overvalued relative to its Fair Value estimate, a data point worth keeping in mind given the pace of the recent rally.

The company remains unprofitable, with a loss of $0.62 per share over the last twelve months.

Cyient Semiconductors’ GaN portfolio covers consumer USB-PD chargers, laptop and mobile adapters, AC-DC power supplies, AI data center and telecom power systems, and e-mobility charging platforms.
