Navitas Semiconductor opened the session at $10.50 and climbed steadily throughout regular trading hours, reaching $11.82 — a gain of roughly 12.5% on the day. The move was driven by renewed buyer interest in gallium nitride power chips, a technology that sits at the heart of how modern AI data centers manage and distribute electricity efficiently across dense server racks.
Gallium nitride, or GaN, offers meaningful efficiency advantages over traditional silicon in power conversion, making it an attractive component as data center operators race to keep pace with the energy demands of AI workloads. That tailwind pulled NVTS into the same winning group as other AI power and networking names during today's session.
