Navitas GaN Adoption Is Slower Than Anticipated: Analyst
Rosenblatt analyst Kevin Cassidy revised estimates for Navitas Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ:NVTS) following the first quarter results reported on Monday.
The company reported an adjusted EPS loss of 6 cents, which was in line with estimates, and sales reached $14.02 million, exceeding the estimated $13.99 million.
Navitas Semiconductor expects second quarter sales of $14 million – $15 million vs consensus of $14.95 million.
The analyst says that the results and guidance for the second quarter of 2025 were largely in line with expectations.
The analyst adds that the adoption of Gallium Nitride (GaN) technology in end markets beyond handsets continues to be slower than anticipated and is still working through existing Silicon Carbide (SiC) inventory.
The analyst writes that the company is securing new design wins, with particular optimism on the recently launched GaN bi-directional diode switch.
Cassidy expects production ramps for solar microinverter applications in the second half of 2025.
While tariffs are not currently a direct impediment to demand, management expressed caution regarding the second half of 2025 and has contingency plans in place for China-for-China and USA-for-USA, adds the analyst.
For FY25, the analyst estimates revenues of $60.5 million (vs. consensus of $74.5 million) and an adjusted EPS loss of $0.19 (vs. consensus loss of $0.16), down from the earlier estimate of $75 million and a loss of $0.16, respectively.
For FY26, Cassidy continues to estimate revenue of $110 million and an adjusted EPS loss of $0.07.

How to Fix an SEO Campaign That Isn't Working
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. SEO is essential to boosting your company's online presence and generating leads. When done right, SEO can be an incredibly effective strategy for growth. It can increase traffic to your site and generate more conversions than conventional marketing. That said, many businesses are unaware of just how many factors can detract from their SEO efforts. If you feel as though you've been doing everything right but have yet to see concrete results, this article is for you. Related: 5 Powerful SEO Strategies for Small Businesses in 2025 SEO mistakes that can hurt your rankings SEO is not exactly straightforward. There are multiple ways to achieve a better page ranking. However, this also means there are multiple ways to prevent a page from ranking. The following are common SEO errors that can be fixed quite easily… so long as you catch them: Publishing duplicate content Some businesses make the mistake of creating new content optimized for certain keywords by duplicating pre-existing content and simply changing a few words. Search engines will not rank pages like this, as their ranking systems are designed to give preference to unique, high-quality content. The best way to avoid duplicate content is by running all website content through similarity checking software before publishing it. This is especially important for websites with multiple pages on the same topic. Failing to address keyword cannibalization Keyword cannibalization happens when two or more pages on a website target the same keywords. This causes the pages to compete with each other in search results and prevents them from achieving a high ranking. Merging competing pages is an effective way of addressing this issue. For example, if your website has a page on "massage therapy" and a page on "massage treatment," you may want to combine the pages into a single publication to prevent them from "cannibalizing" each other. Abandoning content creation SEO is an ongoing effort. It's not a one-time project that you can implement and be done with. While certain optimizations, like improving page structure, are permanent, you need to publish new, SEO-optimized content on a regular basis to increase organic traffic. Businesses that choose to work with an SEO agency often set a monthly quota for website articles and product pages. That way, they have a consistent goal to work toward. Related: I'm an SEO Expert — Here Are 6 Content Tips to Stand Out in Any Saturated Market Strategies that can boost your SEO campaign A successful campaign should invest in on-site, off-site, technical and content-related aspects of SEO, which all play an important role in building the authority of your site. Here are some of the most overlooked strategies in SEO: Improving the quality of your content While technical SEO is an essential ingredient in boosting your rankings, you are not going to get the results you want without investing in your content. Search engines like Google and their ranking systems prioritize reliable, relevant content that is helpful to readers. This means that everything you publish on your website should be accurate, easy to read and tailored to the search intent of your target audience. If your business operates in a highly specialized sector, hiring a technical writer is a good way to ensure the quality of your content. You can also elevate your blog posts, product pages and service pages by hiring a copyeditor. Targeting relevant keywords with lower search volume Only going after generic keywords with high search volume is one of the biggest mistakes you can make in SEO. Although keywords with high search volume have the potential to generate a large amount of leads, these search terms are highly competitive and often take time to rank. By targeting niche keywords that are relevant to your business, you are more likely to rank and attract a highly specific set of customers. To illustrate this point, let's say you run a catering business. Instead of optimizing your content for a generic keyword like "best catering service," you decide to target a more detailed query with lower search volume, like "catering service for children's birthday parties." Using this approach, you have a greater chance of achieving a high page ranking and attracting the right customers. Prioritizing high-quality backlinks Contrary to popular belief, not all backlinks are created equal. Getting backlinks from websites with high domain authority and a lower number of outgoing links will do more for your rankings than hitting up sites with low authority and hundreds of outgoing links. Effective strategies for landing high-quality backlinks include writing guest posts for other websites, creating content that other websites are likely to link to, and cold emailing other websites requesting a backlink to replace a broken link.

A good campaign takes into account the importance of each type of search optimization and invests in it accordingly. Whether you own a small e-commerce business or a large enterprise with multiple locations, SEO is essential to growing your consumer base, and the more you put into it, the more you will get out of it.

Trump to promote $1,000 ‘Trump Accounts' for newborns at WH event
President Donald Trump is set to host a roundtable at the White House Monday to promote a key feature of the sweeping Republican domestic policy bill – a provision that would provide every American newborn with a $1,000 investment account, a White House official told CNN. The accounts, which the administration has dubbed 'Trump Accounts,' would be established for all newborn US citizen children under a pilot program included in the House-passed legislation. The government's $1,000 contribution would be placed in an index fund tied to the overall stock market and managed by the child's legal guardians. The accounts will start at $1,000 per child and guardians or other private entities can contribute up to $5,000 additional dollars every year throughout the child's life. 'The passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill will literally change the lives of working, middle class families across America by delivering the largest tax cuts in history, increasing the child tax credit, AND by creating this incredible new 'Trump Account' program, which will put the lives of young Americans on the right financial path' said White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt. Monday's event, taking place in the State Dining Room at the White House, will feature top executives from Dell, Uber, Altimeter Capital, ARM Corp, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Robinhood and Goldman Sachs. According to the White House official, the CEOs are expected to pledge billions of dollars in investments into Trump Accounts for the children of their employees. 'The creation of investment accounts for every child will compound into substantial nest eggs providing support for education, home ownership, and starting families. Dell Technologies will proudly match dollar for dollar the government's seed investment into these accounts for all the children born to Dell team members. This bold move to an ownership society for all included in the Reconciliation Bill will have profound and far-reaching benefits for the country,' said Dell Technologies CEO Micheal Dell, who will attend the roundtable Monday. The roundtable comes as the Trump administration intensifies its push to secure Senate passage of the president's domestic policy package ahead of the Fourth of July. NBC News was first to report.
