Sivers Semiconductors' Pipeline Surges to $799M as Board Reshuffle and Insider Probe Cast Shadows Over Nasdaq Plans
Published on 06/19/2026 at 14:23 | Redaktion boerse-global.de
Swedish photonics specialist Sivers Semiconductors is navigating a turbulent stretch that pits a booming order pipeline against an abrupt boardroom shake-up and an insider-investigation leak. The company’s opportunity pipeline has swelled 77% since the start of the year, reaching $799 million, driven by its exposure to optical AI networks, satellite communications, and radar technology for autonomous driving. Yet the euphoria on the trading floor is being tempered by governance turmoil and regulatory scrutiny.
Three board members — deputy chairman Tomas Duffy and founders Erik Fallström and Keith Halsey — resigned just before the annual general meeting scheduled for June 15. That meeting was meant to approve a second listing on the Nasdaq, but management pulled the share-issuance vote from the agenda at the last minute. The new supervisory board wants to review the plans internally before proceeding. Shareholders did grant a general mandate to issue 53.8 million new shares, which would dilute existing owners by about 15%, but the move gives the company financial flexibility without an immediate dilution. A convertible note worth roughly $327,000 was also approved.
Operationally, the picture is mixed. First-quarter 2026 revenue fell 22% year over year to SEK 61.9 million. On the brighter side, a new production contract with British satellite firm ALL.SPACE is worth $8.2 million and marks a shift from development to series manufacturing. The surging pipeline signals rising demand for Sivers’ specialized chip solutions, with a key partnership with Jabil seen as critical to scaling commercial output. Mass production is targeted for 2027.
Should investors sell immediately? Or is it worth buying Sivers Semiconductors?
The stock has been anything but steady. After closing at €8.79 on the day of the annual meeting, it climbed to €9.10 on the following Friday. Over the past month, the shares have rallied roughly 78%. The stock is trading well above its 50-day moving average of €5.35, and its relative strength index sits at 63 — strong but not yet overbought. From a March low of €0.27, the price has multiplied dramatically.
A shadow lingers. Swedish prosecutors are investigating a possible violation of the EU Market Abuse Regulation after an anonymous X account leaked the Nasdaq plans exactly 48 hours before the official announcement. Despite the probe, the company has already converted its financial reports to the U.S. PCAOB accounting standard, a prerequisite for a Nasdaq listing. The next concrete milestone comes August 6, 2026, when Sivers will release its second-quarter report and provide fresh operational data.
The market’s excitement underscores the promise of a Nasdaq debut, which could improve liquidity and attract institutional investors. But the company still contends with negative cash flow and weak first-quarter earnings. The pressure is on management to convert the bloated pipeline into real revenue before the 2027 mass-production start, or the rally risks running out of steam.
