Sivers Semiconductors: A 15% Dilution and a $327k Bond — The Price of a Nasdaq Ambition
Published on 06/16/2026 at 04:53 | Redaktion boerse-global.de
Sivers Semiconductors' share price has staged a remarkable recovery from a 52-week low of €0.27 in early March to recent trades around €8.25–€8.29, a gain of roughly 65% to 92% over the past 30 days. But behind the eye-catching rally lies a company wrestling with declining revenue, mounting net losses, and a series of shareholder-approved moves that could dilute existing investors by as much as 15%.
At the annual general meeting on 15 June 2026, shareholders ratified a convertible note worth approximately $327,000, issued to Bootstrap Europe 4.0 S.Ă .r.l. The loan carries a 10.85% annual coupon and matures on 31 December 2029. The bond converts into 622,719 shares and forms part of a larger refinancing package struck earlier this year, which also includes a $5 million term loan and a separate $12 million convertible facility.
More significantly, the board received authorization to issue up to 53.8 million new shares, equivalent to 15% of the company's existing share capital. The proceeds can be taken in cash, as a contribution in kind, or through offsetting arrangements. No dividend was proposed for fiscal year 2025, and none will be paid.
The AGM also reshaped the board of directors. Chairman Bami Bastani remains in his role, while Joakim Nideborn was elected as deputy chairman, tasked with overseeing investor relations — a critical function as the Swedish photonics chipmaker prepares for a Nasdaq listing in New York. Helena Svancar, who brings two decades of M&A experience, joins as a new member. Incumbents Karin Raj and Todd Thomson were re-elected, and Deloitte AB stays on as auditor.
Should investors sell immediately? Or is it worth buying Sivers Semiconductors?
Compensation for the board was set at 1,050,000 Swedish kronor annually for the chairman, 600,000 kronor for the deputy chair, and 350,000 kronor for each other member. Additionally, a new equity incentive plan grants each director 1,000,000 kronor, roughly half of which must be used to purchase Sivers shares, subject to a one-year holding period.
Operationally, the picture is sharply divided. The company’s order pipeline has swelled 77% since the start of the year to $799 million, driven by a $8.2 million order from UK satellite communications firm ALL.SPACE for Ka-band beamforming chips, with deliveries running through 2027. Yet actual first-quarter revenue came in at just 61.9 million Swedish kronor, a 22% decline year on year. The adjusted EBITDA remained deeply negative at minus 13.8 million kronor, and a restatement of the 2024 and 2025 accounts to PCAOB standards — a prerequisite for the US listing — pushed the net loss for 2025 to 222.6 million kronor, up from the originally reported 186.5 million.
CEO Vickram Vathulya attributed the first-quarter shortfall to the US government shutdown in Q4 2025 and delayed defence budgets, with expected first-half revenues now shifted into the second half. A partnership with GlobalFoundries to integrate laser arrays into reference designs for AI data centers is expected to generate its first meaningful revenue toward the end of 2026.
Sivers Semiconductors at a turning point? This analysis reveals what investors need to know now.
Institutional interest is growing. Passively managed index funds have raised their combined stake from 3.1% at the end of the first quarter to 5.9%, a sign that the Nasdaq narrative is attracting larger players. The stock's annualized 30-day volatility stands at nearly 243%, a measure of the extreme swings that have accompanied the rally. The next critical test for investors arrives on 6 August, when Sivers will report second-quarter results — the first real check on whether the promised revenue recovery has materialised.
