Sivers Semiconductors Defies Wider Losses as MSCI Entry and Nasdaq Ambitions Ignite 31% Rally
Published on 05/14/2026 at 15:44 | Redaktion boerse-global.de
A stock that just restated deeper losses and delayed its quarterly report might normally be headed for a selloff. Instead, Sivers Semiconductors saw its shares explode higher in Stockholm, climbing over 31 percent to 56.65 kronor as a tightly bunched set of catalysts — index inclusion, a Nasdaq dual-listing push, and fresh capital — overwhelmed the accounting noise.
The Swedish chip developer’s freshly audited annual accounts for 2025 show a net loss of 222.6 million kronor, considerably wider than the roughly 186 million kronor previously reported. Operating losses deepened to 177.8 million kronor from an earlier 141 million kronor. The restatement was forced by the stricter auditing standards of the US PCAOB, a mandatory step for the company’s planned secondary listing on the Nasdaq in New York. The adjustments also reached back into 2024, where revenue was trimmed to 219.2 million kronor and the net loss expanded to nearly 184 million kronor, driven by delayed revenue recognition, inventory revaluations, and development cost write-offs.
Investors, however, have fixed their gaze on an event calendar that is anything but quiet. On May 29, after the close of trading, Sivers will join the MSCI Sweden Small Cap Index. Passive funds and ETFs tracking the index must buy the stock, creating a wave of forced demand. The prospect of those inflows helped push the share price to 48.20 kronor earlier this week before the rally accelerated further. That same day also brings the long-awaited first-quarter 2026 report, originally due on April 20 but pushed back as the company works to align its interim numbers with US standards.
Should investors sell immediately? Or is it worth buying Sivers Semiconductors?
To shore up its balance sheet ahead of the Nasdaq move, Sivers held an extraordinary general meeting in mid-May that approved a targeted share placement. Institutional investors snapped up 8.62 million new shares at 14.50 kronor each, raising gross proceeds of 125 million kronor. The injection provides breathing room, but not everyone is convinced. Hedge funds Voleon Capital Management and Two Sigma Investments have disclosed short positions of roughly 2 percent of outstanding shares each, betting that the recent surge will reverse.
The operational story offers some genuine momentum. The company launched a development partnership with Tachyon Networks worth $1.5 million focused on fixed wireless broadband. More significant for the AI narrative is a joint project with Jabil to build a custom optical transceiver aimed squarely at data centres serving artificial intelligence workloads. That AI exposure, combined with the upcoming index inclusion, has pushed the stock’s valuation to extreme levels. The price-to-sales ratio now stands at 46.4, compared with a sector average of barely 5 times revenue for European tech stocks. Analyst consensus points to a target price of just 6.55 kronor.
A legal cloud adds further uncertainty. Sweden’s Economic Crime Authority is investigating a possible leak of information regarding the Nasdaq listing plans before their official announcement in April. A confirmed violation could delay the timeline for the US debut. For now, the market is ignoring the warning signals. The next major checkpoint comes on June 15, when the postponed annual general meeting is expected to lay out concrete steps for the transatlantic move.
