AI-focused announcements have generally produced modest, directionally mixed one-day reactions, with both sizable gains and small declines across similar AI power and partnership news.
Recent history for Navitas centers on AI data-center and high‑power solutions. Prior AI-tag events include an 800 V DC solid-state transformer demo at 250 kW, multiple showcases of 10 kW 800 V→50 V platforms at up to 98.5% efficiency, and a U.S. GaN manufacturing partnership aimed at AI datacenters. A notable October 2025 update supporting NVIDIA’s 800 VDC AI factory drew a strong positive reaction, underscoring investor sensitivity to leading-edge AI power architectures.
Historical Comparison
In the past AI-tagged releases, NVTS saw an average one-day move of 5.56%, with both strong rallies and modest declines around AI data-center power announcements.
AI-tag history shows a steady build from NVIDIA-aligned device launches and U.S. GaN manufacturing plans to 800 VDC SST demos and high-efficiency 10 kW DC-DC platforms, now extending into broader PCIM 2026 showcases for data-center and grid infrastructure.
Regulatory & Risk Context
An effective Form S-3ASR shelf filed on May 11, 2026 allows Navitas to issue up to $250,000,000 in various securities via prospectus supplements. The company has already used this shelf for a $125.0 million at-the-market equity program, from which it has sold 6,529,666 shares for roughly $122.0 million in net proceeds, providing flexibility for additional capital raises.
Market Pulse Summary
The stock moved -7.7% in the session following this news. A negative reaction despite the product-focused nature of this announcement would fit a mixed history where AI showcases have not always translated into immediate upside, even with solid technical milestones. With an effective $250,000,000 shelf and a recently utilized ATM program, investors have also been weighing capital-raising dynamics alongside the long-term AI and grid-infrastructure opportunity.

Highlights include two SST solutions for converting the MV grid to 800V HV DC, a 10 kW, 800 V-to-50 V DC-DC full-brick platform, along with a 20 kW 800 V-to-6 V power delivery board for AI data center
TORRANCE, Calif., May 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Navitas Semiconductor (Nasdaq: NVTS), a leader in GaNFast™ gallium nitride (GaN) and GeneSiC™ silicon carbide (SiC) power semiconductors, will showcase its latest GaN and SiC products for AI data center, energy and grid infrastructure, and industrial electrification at PCIM 2026.
Product highlights include the latest in Navitas GaNFast FETs starting from 0.8 mOhms at 100 V to 11 mOhms at 650 V, along with expanded offerings across the GaNSafeTM, GaNSlimTM, and Bi-directional GaN IC product families.
Navitas will showcase 3300 V, 2300 V, and 1200 V Trench Assisted Planar (TAP) SiC devices using advanced reliability SiCPAKTM press-fit modules, alongside recently announced 5th-generation GeneSiC TAP MOSFETs for AI-Data Center in QDPAK and TO247-LP.
For the AI data center, Navitas will exhibit two solutions that enable a swifter transition to the 800 VDC standard using GaN:
- 20 kW 800 V-to-6 V power delivery board aiming
97.5% peak efficiency, eliminating the traditional 48V intermediate bus converter (IBC) stage while enhancing overall system efficiency, reliability, cost-effectiveness, and power density. - 10 kW 800 V-to-50 V DC-DC platform featuring 2.1 kW/in³ power density and
