Sivers Semiconductors Faces Twin Headwinds: US Accounting Shift and Insider Lock-Up Expiry
Published on 07/09/2026 at 14:35 | Redaktion boerse-global.de
Sivers Semiconductors is navigating a turbulent period as it prepares for a potential Nasdaq listing, with both an accounting overhaul and an approaching insider lock-up expiry weighing on investor sentiment. The Swedish photonics and wireless technology specialist saw its stock slide 5.5% on Thursday to €3.40, extending a brutal run that has wiped out more than half the share price in the past month. On a weekly basis, the decline stands at 22.5%, and the stock now trades roughly 67% below its June high of €10.23.
The latest leg lower came after the company pushed back its second-quarter earnings report to 27 August, citing the need to align with the stricter auditing standards of the US Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB). CEO Vickram Vathulya said the additional time would ensure the financial statements meet the transparency requirements expected by US-listed companies and institutional investors. The delay also affects the third- and fourth-quarter reports, now scheduled for 26 November and 25 February 2027 respectively.
On top of that, the market is bracing for the expiration of a contractual lock-up period on 16 July, which has barred management from selling shares since the spring’s capital measures. Those measures included a placement of roughly 12.3 million new shares through investment bank Pareto Securities at a price below the prevailing market level, as well as a debt conversion by lender Bootstrap Europe that added nearly 23 million shares to the outstanding count. The total number of shares outstanding has ballooned from around 332 million to 355 million, a dilution that management defends by pointing to strong institutional demand and the need to fund production capacity expansion and AI research.

Operationally, the company is also facing headwinds. First-quarter revenue fell to 61.9 million Swedish kronor, with the firm blaming delays in the approval of the US defence budget for pushing expected revenue into the second half of the year. The combination of dilution, accounting uncertainty, and operational weakness has fuelled extreme volatility: the annualised volatility stands at over 219%, and the 14-day relative strength index of 33 suggests the stock is approaching oversold territory.
Despite the recent pain, Sivers shares still trade well above their 52-week low of SEK 0.27 reached in March. The 50-day moving average of €6.21 sits roughly 45% above the current price, underscoring how far the stock has fallen in a short span. With the next earnings report not due until late August, all eyes will be on whether insiders begin selling once the lock-up ends on 16 July — a move that could set the next major signal for a market already on edge.
