50% Downside For Navitas Stock?
INDIA - 2025/05/25: In this photo illustration, a Navitas logo is seen displayed on a smartphone ... More with a Nvidia logo in the background. (Photo Illustration by Avishek Das/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images) Navitas Semiconductor Corp. (NASDAQ: NVTS) has seen an impressive rise, with its stock price increasing nearly 300% from below $2 on May 22nd to over $8 currently. This substantial growth followed Navitas's announcement last month that Nvidia had selected the company to supply power for its next-generation artificial intelligence (AI) data center systems. Navitas specializes in gallium nitride (GaN) and silicon carbide (SiC) technologies. The company's role will be vital in addressing essential power supply scaling challenges for Nvidia's powerful AI chips, including the highly anticipated Rubin chips, which are expected to replace the current industry-leading Blackwell chips. That said, if you are looking for upside with less volatility than individual stocks, the Trefis High-Quality portfolio offers an alternative – having outperformed the S&P 500 and produced returns exceeding 91% since its inception. Separately, see – QBTS Stock: What's Next For D-Wave After 1,350% Rally? Despite the promising outlook for GaN technology, Navitas Semiconductor encounters significant risks. While the chances of a U.S. recession have decreased with easing trade tensions, ongoing expectations of economic growth slowing do not favor the semiconductor industry, directly affecting Navitas. The company's success is closely linked to the cyclical semiconductor market, which goes through significant boom-bust cycles. Navitas caters to fluctuating sectors such as fast-charging adapters, AI data centers, solar micro-inverters, and electric vehicles. A downturn in these end markets could directly impact Navitas's revenue and growth. The competitive environment intensifies these risks. Navitas faces competition from well-established and capital-rich rivals including Monolithic Power Systems, Wolfspeed, Infineon Technologies, STMicroelectronics, and ON Semiconductor. Several of these companies, like Infineon, Texas Instruments, and STMicroelectronics, are aggressively pursuing the GaN market, which could result in margin compression and loss of market share for Navitas as the technology matures. From a financial standpoint, Navitas shows troubling fundamentals. In 2024, the company reported revenue of $83.30 million but incurred losses of $84.60 million, indicating it is losing more than it earns. Recently, Navitas stock has faced considerable price volatility, underperforming the broader market during uncertain times. For example, NVTS fell 84% during the 2022 inflation shock market correction, a much steeper decline than the S&P 500's 25.4% peak-to-trough drop. More recently, the stock plummeted over 60% this year, from $4 in January to below $2 in April, amidst tariff and trade tensions. In contrast, the S&P 500 index only experienced a modest 19% decline during the same timeframe. The inherent volatility of the semiconductor sector enhances these risks. If growth falls short or the GaN market turns out to be less profitable, Navitas could face severe multiple compression. Its current lack of profitability makes it vulnerable during downturns, lacking the financial buffer of profitable competitors. With minimal profits and dependence on cyclical end markets, any slowdown in GaN adoption or broader semiconductor weakness could cause a significant downturn in its stock price. While the Nvidia agreement could certainly keep the stock price active, investors will eventually consider those prospects against Navitas's high valuation. Currently, NVTS stock has a price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of 20.5, starkly contrasting with the S&P 500's P/S of 3.0. It is also important to note that the average analyst price target is set at $4, suggesting a notable 50% potential downside for NVTS from its present levels. Fundamentals often take a backseat when investors become enthusiastic about the outlook. To mitigate stock-specific risk while gaining access to potential upside, consider exploring the High Quality portfolio, which, with a selection of 30 stocks, has consistently outperformed the S&P 500 over the last 4-year period. Why is that? As a group, HQ Portfolio stocks have delivered better returns with less risk compared to the benchmark index; less of a bumpy ride, as demonstrated in HQ Portfolio performance metrics.

Carney government balancing AI regulation against the promise to unlock its potential
OTTAWA—Prime Minister Mark Carney believes artificial intelligence is key to unlocking Canada's economic potential. He carved out a specific ministry for the file, installing former broadcaster Evan Solomon as the country's first-ever minister of AI. The 'transformative nature' of the technology garnered a mention in the sole mandate letter he issued for his cabinet. Capitalizing on the use of AI is one of Carney's three 'core missions' as he prepares to host next week's G7 leaders' summit. Yet among the nascent Liberal government's ambitious promises to return Canada to its position as a global AI leader, promote the widespread adoption of the technology, and invest in the infrastructure needed to do so, there are no concrete pledges to regulate the sprawling uses of the rapidly evolving tools. 'AI is a fundamentally transformative technology and has the capacity to change the way we do almost everything. So I see this as just a point in history where we are transforming the way our markets work, the way our societies work, and we want that to be good,' said Gillian Hadfield, a professor of AI alignment and governance at Johns Hopkins University, and former member of the Canadian AI Advisory Council. 'When I look around the world, I see governments that have not really figured out: 'What do we need to do in the legal and regulatory space to manage this transition well?'' On Tuesday, Solomon danced around the issue of regulation, noting the difficulties of spurring AI development while also ensuring the technology is deployed responsibly. 'It's easy for editorials to write: 'Just find the right balance. Don't be so unconstrained as the U.S. and China, who see any regulation as a constraint on security or innovation. But don't be too overly protective like Europe,'' Solomon said at a Canada 2020 conference in Ottawa. 'OK. Perfect. Easy. Throw the dart, blindfolded, after six beers.' What Solomon did suggest is that the Carney government will distance itself from the previous Liberal government's appetite for imposing regulations. 'We are moving from our back foot of just warning and overindexing on warnings and regulation, to our front foot, to make sure that the Canadian economy and all Canadians benefit from … using this technology productively,' he said. Carney has pushed for advancing AI in myriad ways, from pledging to build data centres, proposing tax credits that would incentivize businesses to adopt the technology, and using it to improve government efficiency. But his government has not addressed what will happen to the Artificial Intelligence and Data Act (AIDA), which was folded into a larger bill aimed at updating privacy laws and creating a regulatory framework for AI. The bill never became law due to the suspension of Parliament earlier this year and the triggering of a snap spring election. The act was a particularly contentious prong of the proposed legislation, with critics blasting the act for concentrating too much power in unwritten regulations, concerns that having the same ministry simultaneously regulate and champion AI would introduce conflicts, and a lack of clarity on what AI systems it would apply to and what kinds of harms the legislation would minimize. But some experts urged the government to swiftly pass the legislation, warning that Canada was falling 'out of sync' with the uncontrollable pace at which technology was being used. Solomon referenced the bill Tuesday, saying he wouldn't 'abandon regulation,' but that Canada will need to 're-examine, in this new environment, where we're going to be on that.' Ignacio Cofone, a professor of AI regulation at the University of Oxford and former Canada research chair in data governance at McGill University, told the Star in an email that it was critical that Canada move forward with an improved version of the act. 'AI systems already shape decisions in consequential areas as diverse as housing, employment, health care, and criminal justice, often in opaque and unaccountable ways,' Cofone wrote, adding that industry, which has 'incentives to prioritize profit' should not be left to regulate itself. Two former senior government officials with knowledge of the previous government's AI strategy told the Star, on the condition they not be named, that they believe the Carney government will take a more hands-off approach. One source said they believed that Carney is likely wary of the 'political mess' the Trudeau government found itself in as it crafted its legislation. 'Every day Canada doesn't advance its own responsible use policies or regulatory frameworks, we are just going to be further and further behind,' the source said. Another source said that while they agreed that Canada cannot 'overregulate' the industry, particularly in the face of unprecedented trade disputes with the U.S., 'it shouldn't be controversial to say that we need to enshrine rights for Canadians against some of these uses.' Teresa Scassa, a Canada research chair in information law and policy at the University of Ottawa, said Canada appears to be stuck between Europe — which last year passed the world's first AI regulation law — and the U.S., which has dismantled efforts to address the risks of the technology. Scassa said a Canadian AI regulation law could be leveraged in the country's trading relationship with the EU, potentially allowing Canadian companies to do business in Europe. 'On the other hand, we have a government south of the border that sees everything through a trade lens. And if Canada has strong AI regulation or even weak AI regulation, that could be seen as a trade irritant,' Scassa said. But Hadfield said the government should not be looking at innovation and regulation as mutually exclusive objectives. 'Our economies are built on good, reliable, legal infrastructure. And if the economy is changing so rapidly with this very different technology … then we absolutely need to be thinking very hard about governance,' Hadfield said.

Stop hiring humans? Business leaders face AI labour arbitrage
Advertising almost always appeals to the aspirational. But AI platform, has bucked this convention by plastering fear all over the London Underground. The provocative strapline 'Stop Hiring Humans: The Age of the AI Employee is Here' is part of a poster adverting campaign on London's public transport that taps into deep public mistrust that AI will replace human work. The Stop Hiring Humans ad campaign coincided with London Tech Week (9 June), opened by Prime Minister Keir Starmer who acknowledged the skepticism around AI job displacement, citing social fear of AI as an even bigger barrier to adoption than regulation. Starmer, nevertheless, urged the audience of technology professionals and business leaders, 'I think we have to lean in', as Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, with whom he shared the stage, urged the audience to view AI as a great equaliser. "The way you program AI is the same way you program a person,' said Huang, noting that almost anyone can program AI because while not everyone can code, everyone knows 'human'. Huang's point was intended to be a reassuring reminder that an AI future is accessible to all. But the UK's Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) warns of an AI job apocalypse in which eight million jobs in the UK could be at risk due to AI advancements. The report highlights that, as of March 2024, AI affected 11% of tasks performed by UK workers, a figure that could rise to 60% as organisations further integrate AI technologies. Starmer's very presence at the event demonstrates just how important the technology industry, and AI, have become to the nation's global competitiveness. Starmer noted that in 2023 the UK's AI sector grew 30 times that of any other sector. With such dynamic growth, a propensity to underplay the associated risks may well be expected. In June, IBM published a survey of 2,000 CEOs from 33 countries and 24 industries carried out between February and April 2025 which found that 58% say they are pushing their organisation to adopt generative AI more quickly than some people find comfortable, and 64% recognise the potential productivity gains are so great they must accept significant risk to stay competitive. Cloud customer service platform Zendesk's CEO Tom Eggemeier says that among the company's clients to have heavily invested in AI driven automation, hiring has actually increased by 3% on average. And while Eggemeier predicts 80% of customer service enquiries will be automated by 2030, this has not meant job displacement – so far. 'A lot of companies are taking savings from automation and reinvesting it into humans to do more sophisticated tasks, and interacting at the root cause of problems. We haven't seen any labour force decrease materially,' he says, adding: 'It could in the future.' To date, GenAI has not significantly impacted the workforce, despite widespread concerns, says GlobalData principal analyst, Isabel Al-Dhahir, because GenAI tools have yet to demonstrate the requisite level of autonomy and Al-Dhahir says the emergence of agentic AI and advanced reasoning models will notably impact workforce structures, as this is among its intended purposes. 'Numerous startups focused on agentic AI, with an emphasis on enhancing workplace efficiency, cite the reduction of headcount growth as one of their principal advantages,' she says. On 9 June, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei publicly referred to AI as precipitating a 'white-collar bloodbath', predicting that half of entry level roles will be eliminated by 2030. Just as 'Stop Hiring Humans' advertising campaign grabbed public attention, so too do the gloomy assertions of public figures like Amodei. But Anthropic's own research, published in Feb 2025, demonstrates a much more nuanced and far less certain outlook. Analysing millions of conversations on Anthropic's the company's research sought to demonstrate empirical AI usage patterns. To Dahir's point on role augmentation versus role automation, the analysis revealed that this difference matters for both workers and productivity. 'When AI serves as an augmentative partner rather than a replacement, studies have shown improved productivity while maintaining individuals' meaningful engagement in their work,' according to the report. The report demonstrated that current usage splits nearly evenly between automation (43%) and augmentation (57%) of human capabilities. The research is careful to note that these findings only describe the very early cycle of AI transformation the market is currently in. 'As AI systems expand beyond text to handle video, speech, and physical actions through robotics, and as AI agents become more capable of carrying out extended tasks autonomously, the nature of human-AI collaboration is poised to transform dramatically,' according to the report. New tasks and even entirely new occupations may emerge around these capabilities, according to the report, something that is repeatedly offered by tech leaders as a leap of faith antidote to fears around job displacement. But Al-Dhahir warns: 'If tech leaders become overly reliant on their new digital colleagues, they risk overlooking opportunities for new job creation where humans remain the superior choice. C-suite strategy should therefore not be focused exclusively on where AI can improve its operations, but also on how necessary human skills will be complementary,' adds Al-Dhahir. The research also found peak usage of AI in mid-to-high wage occupations, with 'notably lower usage at both extremes of the wage distribution' which does, indeed, reflect Amodei's public rhetoric around the loss of white-collar work. There are some instances where AI augmentation can fill an employee void. Zoom's head of solution engineering for EMEA, Helen Hawthorn, sees AI as an invisible colleague to take on the routine tasks that keep employees from focusing on their core roles. Hawthorn notes the example of where companies have eliminated executive assistant roles and employees are overwhelmed with additional administrative tasks. 'Executive assistant roles are either disappearing, or they've disappeared already. Companies are saying, you now do it. That's actually meant longer days for most people,' says Hawthorn. 'A virtual executive assistant means you're not having to work every day of the week,' she adds noting that this leaves more time for higher value work. Hawthorne's point tallies with Anthropic's research which identified a pattern of AI currently affecting only a subset of tasks within jobs, suggesting occupations will evolve rather than disappear. 'However, if the breadth of task usage grows without signs of saturation, that may suggest the possibility of a more comprehensive workplace transition,' according to the report. Even if tech leaders choose to implement AI for augmentation rather than full automation of roles, gaining employee trust is a continuing challenge. The risk of employee backlash, and the optics of wholesale layoffs in favour of automation, are real. In April, Shopify CEO Tobias Lütke announced that employees requesting more resources would need to prove they 'cannot get what they want done using AI,' according to an internal memo posted to X. The best AI implementation route focuses on enabling the people who can turn uncertainty into action, says Aleksandra Osipova, an AI strategist and founder of Apricity Lab. "Imagine two scenarios. One: you buy the tools, hire the agency, and your team watches from the sidelines, disconnected, anxious, and increasingly you upskill your existing talent. You give them the structure, support, and green light to experiment. Now they're not just using AI, they're building with it. They're creating internal solutions, launching new initiatives, and exploring entirely new revenue streams," says Osipova. "The best strategy in a fast-moving market is not automation, it's activation. Your best people are already in the room. Give them momentum,' she adds. Lütke's strategy was a little more heavy handed. 'What would this area look like if autonomous AI agents were already part of the team? This question can lead to really fun discussions and projects,' Lütke asked his employees along with adding AI usage questions to performance and peer reviews. None of which went any way to addressing the fear that their employer might, one day, stop hiring humans. "Stop hiring humans?
