Navitas Semiconductor is benefiting from its innovative GaN and silicon carbide technologies, enabling advancements in AI data centers, EVs, solar microinverters, and energy storage systems. 

This company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.05 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +28.6%. Revenues are expected to be $14.52 million, down 29.1% from the year-ago quarter.

Earnings and revenue growth expectations certainly give a good sense of the potential strength in a stock, but empirical research shows that trends in earnings estimate revisions are strongly correlated with near-term stock price movements.

For Navitas Semiconductor, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. And a stock's price usually doesn't keep moving higher in the absence of any trend in earnings estimate revisions. So, make sure to keep an eye on NVTS going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
