Key Takeaways
- Revenue reached $14.0 million, up 38% year over year and 33% sequentially — the company's first year-over-year revenue growth since 2024.
- Revenue came in above consensus estimates of roughly $13.5 million, driven by more than 50% sequential growth in high-power markets.
- GAAP net loss was $37.1 million, or $0.14 per share, while non-GAAP net loss narrowed to $6.9 million.
- Non-GAAP gross margin expanded to 40.0%, up from 39.5% in the prior quarter and 38.7% a year earlier.
- Fourth-quarter revenue guidance of $16.0 million, plus or minus $0.5 million, implies 14% sequential and 119% year-over-year growth at the midpoint.
- Cash and cash equivalents stood at $531.5 million as of September 30, 2026, more than double the $236.9 million at year-end 2025.
Why This Quarter Matters
Navitas Semiconductor focuses on gallium nitride (GaN) and silicon carbide (SiC) power chips that improve efficiency in demanding applications. The firm is executing its "Navitas 2.0" plan, moving from mobile and consumer electronics toward higher-value areas such as AI data centers, energy infrastructure, and industrial systems. This report provides the clearest signal so far on whether that pivot is producing results. The 38% year-over-year revenue increase and wider gross margins point to progress, even as ongoing losses reflect the expense of repositioning toward longer-cycle markets.
Breaking Down the Numbers
In the third quarter of fiscal 2026, Navitas posted revenue of $14.0 million, beating estimates near $13.5 million and rising from $10.1 million a year ago. High-power revenue jumped more than 50% sequentially, more than offsetting the deliberate decline in legacy mobile and consumer lines.
GAAP net loss totaled $37.1 million, or $0.14 per share, versus $19.2 million last year. Non-GAAP net loss improved to $6.9 million from $9.3 million in the previous quarter. GAAP gross margin was 21.5%, while non-GAAP gross margin reached 40.0%, above the guided range. Management guided fourth-quarter revenue at $16.0 million, plus or minus $0.5 million and non-GAAP gross margin at 40.5%, plus or minus 100 basis points. The book-to-bill ratio remained well above one, with backlog extending into mid-2027. The quarter also included the October 6, 2026, close of the Claros acquisition, which adds integrated voltage regulator technology.
How the Market Responded
Shares of Navitas climbed about 5% in after-hours trading. The move reflected investor approval of the revenue beat and upbeat fourth-quarter outlook, particularly the sequential momentum in high-power segments. Some caution remained around rising operating expenses tied to the Claros integration, which is expected to widen near-term losses. Overall, the reaction suggested the market sees tangible evidence that the strategic shift is starting to deliver top-line growth.
What to Watch Going Forward
The central question is whether Navitas can maintain double-digit sequential revenue gains while containing losses. Fourth-quarter guidance points to the fourth straight quarter of such growth and roughly 7% full-year revenue expansion, with the core high-power business on track for triple-digit increases. Investors will want to track how quickly Claros contributes revenue versus its added costs; non-GAAP operating expenses are projected to rise about 50% in the fourth quarter. Additional items to monitor include the path of non-GAAP gross margin toward the 40.5% midpoint and the ramp in AI infrastructure, which management expects to exceed 40% of revenue by year-end. The robust book-to-bill ratio and backlog through mid-2027 offer visibility, yet delivery on those commitments will determine longer-term success.
