Sivers Semiconductors: Chairman Sells, CEO Buys as Trading Blackout Looms
Published on 07/26/2026 at 22:23 | Redaktion boerse-global.de
The boardroom at Sivers Semiconductors is sending mixed signals. With a mandatory trading blackout set to begin on July 28, top executives have been making their final moves — and they are heading in opposite directions.
CEO Vickram Vathulya added 70,000 shares to his holdings on the open market, bringing his total stake to 4,540,076. Chairman Bami Bastani took a different route, selling 275,000 shares as soon as a lock-up period expired on July 16. Board member Todd Thomson also cashed out, offloading 950,000 shares through his firm Headwaters Capital. Bastani went a step further, gifting 70,000 shares to family members and donating another 60,000 to charitable organizations.
The divergence at the top comes as the stock endures a brutal stretch. Shares closed at €2.83 on Friday, down 6.35% on the day and 11.45% for the week. Over the past month, the stock has shed 60.69% of its value. From the 52-week high of €10.23 reached on June 3, the decline now stands at 72.34%.
Blackout Period Begins
Starting Tuesday, July 28, the company enters a mandatory 30-day closed period under the EU Market Abuse Regulation. Until the second-quarter interim report is published, no one in management or the board can trade Sivers shares. The next meaningful catalyst for the stock will be the Q2 report, now scheduled for release on August 27 before trading opens on Nasdaq Stockholm.
Should investors sell immediately? Or is it worth buying Sivers Semiconductors?
That date was confirmed in an updated financial calendar on July 9. The delay from the original schedule stems from an "audit uplift" — the company is aligning its financial reporting with standards set by the US Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. Sivers is preparing for a potential secondary listing on a US exchange, and the extra time is meant to ensure the reporting meets the quality and transparency expectations of international investors and American regulators.
Technical Indicators Point to Oversold Territory
The stock's 14-day relative strength index sits at 35.4, edging toward the oversold threshold of 30. The annualized 30-day volatility has surged to 161.81%, reflecting the extreme uncertainty surrounding the stock.
A recent capital raise — approximately 12.3 million new shares at 57 Swedish kronor each — is funding the expansion of manufacturing capacity for InP lasers and optical amplifiers. That dilution, combined with the insider sales, has weighed heavily on sentiment.

What Comes Next
With insider transactions frozen for the next month, the market will lack the directional cues that management trading often provides. Investors will instead focus on the company's opportunity pipeline, which management valued at $799 million in May, and whether that can translate into concrete orders.
The August 27 earnings report is the next hard date on the calendar — and for a stock that has lost nearly three-quarters of its value in two months, the stakes could hardly be higher.
