NEW YORK, Jan 13, 2026, 10:30 EST — Regular session
- Navitas Semiconductor shares fell about 7% after an early spike faded.
- Chip-sector ETFs were slightly higher even as the broader market edged lower.
- Investors are looking to management’s scheduled investor-conference appearance on Wednesday.
Navitas Semiconductor Corp shares were down 7.1% at $9.69 in late-morning trading on Tuesday, after swinging from an intraday high of $10.96 to a low of $9.69.
The move stood out against a steadier semiconductor tape, with traders focused on near-term catalysts rather than a fresh headline from the company.
Navitas, a small-cap power chipmaker, sells devices based on gallium nitride and silicon carbide — “wide-bandgap” materials that can switch power faster and waste less energy than traditional silicon, making them attractive for high-density power systems.
The stock had closed up 3.6% on Monday at $10.43, after a session that ranged between $10.55 and $9.55 on volume of about 27.9 million shares.
On Tuesday, the broader market was slightly weaker, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 tracking lower, while the iShares Semiconductor ETF and VanEck Semiconductor ETF were modestly higher.
Several power and semiconductor names were in the green, including Wolfspeed, ON Semiconductor, STMicroelectronics and GlobalFoundries.
Navitas’ own news flow has been quiet. The company’s latest post on its website was dated Jan. 7, tied to an investor-conference appearance.
Investors often use these conference stops to read tone — whether management is more confident on customer ramps, product traction and the timing of revenue, or whether the message turns cautious.
But conference talk can cut both ways. If management sticks to high-level comments, or signals that key programs are moving slower, momentum can unwind fast in a stock that has been prone to sharp intraday swings.
The next hard checkpoint is earnings. Navitas has not announced a date for its next results, though Zacks’ earnings calendar shows an expected report around Feb. 23.
The immediate catalyst is Wednesday: Navitas is scheduled for a Needham Growth Conference fireside chat at 2:15 p.m. EST, with a webcast link listed on the company’s event page.
