While its Q1 guidance is below estimates, Navitas CEO Gene Sheridan expects a recovery in the second half of 2025.

Shares of Navitas Semiconductor Corp. (NVTS) tumbled more than 14% in after-market trading on Monday after the company’s first-quarter guidance came in below analyst estimates.

Navitas guided for Q1 revenue between $13 million and $15 million, below estimates of $15.80 million.

For the fourth quarter, Navitas posted revenue of $18 million, below Wall Street consensus of $19 million, with CEO Gene Sheridan pointing to “significant headwinds with an industry-wide slow-down in some major markets.”

While its Q1 guidance is below estimates, Sheridan expects a recovery in the second half of 2025.

“We closed the year with an extraordinary $450 million in customer design wins, which gives us increased confidence to resume a healthier growth rate in late ‘25 and beyond,” Sheridan said.

Data from FinChat shows Navitas is expected to post a loss per share throughout the fiscal year 2025, even as the company projects a return to growth later this year.
