Navitas Semiconductor (NVTS) partnered with NVIDIA to develop a 24-kW power delivery board that converts 800V DC to 12V DC in a single stage, eliminating intermediate conversion steps. This advancement supports NVTS' 800V strategy as AI data centers demand more efficient power solutions. However, NVTS faces strong competition from ON Semiconductor and STMicroelectronics, and trades at a significantly elevated valuation with a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) rating.

STMicroelectronics repurchased 346,538 ordinary shares (0.04% of issued share capital) between October 5-9, 2026 at a weighted average price of EUR 49.2425 per share for a total of EUR 17,064,401.16 on Euronext Paris. The repurchases are intended to meet obligations from employee share option programs. The company now holds 15,930,103 treasury shares, representing approximately 1.7% of issued share capital.

Navitas Semiconductor completed its acquisition of Claros, adding intelligent voltage regulator (IVR) technology to its GaN and high-voltage SiC portfolio. The deal strengthens Navitas' grid-to-xPU power delivery capabilities for AI infrastructure, addressing the final stage of power delivery to processors. However, NVTS trades at a significantly elevated valuation of 48.71X forward P/S versus the industry average of 5.26X, and faces intense competition from ON Semiconductor and STMicroelectronics in the AI data center power market.
