Sivers Semiconductors Directors Lock In Holdings for One Year After Shares Lose Half Their Value in a Month
Published on 07/13/2026 at 22:35 | Redaktion boerse-global.de
The board of Sivers Semiconductors has completed a structured share purchase program that ties the hands of its leadership for at least twelve months — a bet made just as the stock was shedding half its market value. Announced on July 13, the program, approved at the annual general meeting in June 2026, sees five board members and the CEO acquire shares under terms that prevent any quick exit.
Bami Bastani, Karin Raj, Helena Svancar, Todd Thomson and Joakim Nideborn each bought equity worth roughly 500,000 Swedish kronor — equivalent to around €41,800 to €45,000 per director. Chief executive Vickram Vathulya made a separate purchase of about 950,000 kronor on top of the board tranche. The entire haul is locked up for a minimum of 12 months, meaning none of the executives can sell even if the stock continues to slide. Roughly half of each award goes to cover taxes under the program's structure.
The timing of the insider buying stands in stark contrast to the tape. Sivers shares have been pummelled over the past month, losing 51.02% of their value. At the last close the stock changed hands at €4.10, down 3.48% on the day and a full 59.90% below the 52-week high of €10.23 reached on June 3. The 50-day moving average sits at €6.21, leaving the current price roughly a third below that level. The 100-day average of €3.76, by contrast, is still in the rearview mirror.
Should investors sell immediately? Or is it worth buying Sivers Semiconductors?
Despite the recent rout, the stock remains nearly 15 times above its 52-week low of €0.27, touched on March 3 — a testament to the extraordinary swings that have become the norm for the Swedish small-cap name. The relative strength index stands at 38.4, suggesting a modestly oversold condition, while annualized 30-day volatility hits 155.07%, placing the company among the most violently fluctuating stocks in its peer group. Market capitalisation is approximately €1.24 billion.
While insider purchases are often read as a vote of confidence, the structured nature of this program — set months before the sell-off accelerated — tempers any heroic interpretation. The company itself is navigating a dual agenda: it develops energy-efficient photonics and RF beamformer technologies for data centers, satellite communications, defence and telecoms, and is simultaneously upgrading its financial reporting to comply with US PCAOB standards in preparation for a potential secondary listing on the Nasdaq in New York.
For now, the board's commitment is locked in. Whether the minimum one-year holding period will steady the stock or the current volatility will persist is uncertain, but the message from the C-suite is at least one of alignment: they have tied their own capital to a share price that has just been cut in half.
