NVTS Aims at AI Energy Needs: Will This Fuel Long-Term Gains?

Key Takeaways
Navitas Semiconductor joins NVIDIA's new 800-volt AI factory ecosystem with GaN and SiC tech.
The company is sampling mid-voltage GaN and high-voltage SiC modules for next-gen data centers.
NVTS sees limited 2026 revenues, with larger AI data-center gains expected in 2027.
Navitas Semiconductor (NVTS - Free Report) is trying to reposition itself around high-power markets, and its inclusion in NVIDIA’s new 800-volt artificial intelligence (AI) factory ecosystem is an important step. The new architecture shifts data center power distribution from traditional AC/DC stages to a high-voltage DC approach that requires faster, more efficient power electronics. This creates an opening for Navitas Semiconductor’s Gallium Nitride (GaN) and high-voltage Silicon Carbide (SiC) technologies, both of which are now part of the NVIDIA-led ecosystem.
In the third quarter of 2025, Navitas Semiconductor highlighted that it is one of the few companies offering both GaN and SiC solutions across the full power path, all the way from the grid to the graphics processor units (GPU) . The company has begun sampling mid-voltage GaN devices at 100 volts, which target the last stage of power conversion inside AI servers. It is also sampling 2.3 kV and 3.3 kV SiC modules for grid and energy storage applications that support these new data center designs.
Still, meaningful revenue from AI data centers will not show up before 2027. Navitas Semiconductor expects 2026 to be a transition year, with small but growing shipments tied to traditional server power supplies. The larger opportunity depends on how fast hyperscalers adopt the 800-volt architecture and whether Navitas Semiconductor can secure multi-generation design wins.
For now, Navitas Semiconductor is walking away from low-margin mobile products to focus its resources on high-power markets. This shift lowers near-term revenue but could strengthen long-term positioning. The company's success will be dependent on whether it can execute fast enough to convert its NVIDIA partnership and customer engagements into real share gains once the new AI power architecture starts to scale.
How Competitors Fare Against Navitas Semiconductor
The company faces strong competition from Wolfspeed (WOLF - Free Report) and ON Semiconductor (ON - Free Report) in the race to supply high-voltage solutions for AI data centers.
Wolfspeed is a key supplier for high-voltage applications in the SiC ecosystem. Moreover, Wolfspeed is building a $3-billion Mohawk Valley fab to supply SiC for high-voltage systems, including AI data center power infrastructure.
ON Semiconductor is expanding its SiC portfolio and targeting cloud infrastructure customers with integrated power modules. ON Semiconductor has also partnered with NVIDIA to accelerate the move to 800 Volts DC power systems for next-generation AI data centers.
NVTS' Price Performance, Valuation & Estimates
Shares of Navitas Semiconductor have skyrocketed 133.1% year to date compared with the Zacks Electronics – Semiconductors industry’s growth of 33.6%.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Navitas Semiconductor’s full-year 2025 bottom line indicates that loss per share will narrow to 21 cents from 24 cents incurred in the year-ago quarter. The consensus mark for 2026 is also pegged at a loss of 21 cents per share. The estimates for 2025 loss per share have narrowed down by a penny over the past 30 days, while the same for 2026 have increased by 2 cents over the same time frame.
