Sivers Semiconductors: JPMorgan’s 5% Stake and a $799M Pipeline Confront a Corrected Loss

JPMorgan Chase has more than ten-bled its position in Swedish chip developer Sivers Semiconductors over the past month, lifting its holding from 0.4% to above 5% in a move valued at roughly $135 million. The aggressive accumulation by one of Wall Street’s largest institutions lands just days before a make?or?break shareholder vote on a secondary Nasdaq listing — but it also arrives against a backdrop of freshly revised net losses that have re?opened questions about the company’s financial hygiene.

Sivers posted a corrected net loss for 2025 of 222.6 million Swedish kronor, up sharply from the originally reported 186.5 million kronor. The restatement, required to align with the rigorous auditing standards of the U.S. Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, stemmed from time?shifting of revenue recognition, revised inventory valuations and the write?off of capitalised development costs. The necessary compliance work has been completed ahead of the annual general meeting on 15 June, where shareholders will vote on a dual listing on the Nasdaq New York exchange.

The AGM agenda also includes the election of Joakim Nideborn to the board; his international financial expertise is seen as a key asset for the planned U.S. debut. Alongside Nideborn, the nomination of Helena Svancar adds further governance depth. The meeting is the next formal step after Sivers already aligned its balance sheets with U.S. rules — a prerequisite that has now laid bare the bigger?than?expected loss.

Photonics momentum vs. operational headwinds

Should investors sell immediately? Or is it worth buying Sivers Semiconductors?

Operationally, the company is riding the surging demand for photonics and radio?frequency technology used in AI data centres. On 2 June it announced a partnership with GlobalFoundries to integrate its laser arrays into that foundry’s silicon?photonics platform, targeting the fast?growing markets for co?packaged optics and linear pluggable optics — a space Sivers sees worth $25 billion by 2030.

The sales pipeline has ballooned accordingly. At the end of the first quarter of 2026, the project pipeline stood at $799 million, a 77% jump from the end of last year. Yet actual first?quarter revenue came in shy of expectations, held back by delayed U.S. defence budgets and adverse currency effects. The disconnect between the swelling opportunity set and near?term top?line performance is one of the tensions investors will weigh ahead of the vote.

Short sellers squeezed as borrowing costs explode

JPMorgan’s entry has also intensified the pain for short sellers. Shares in Sivers have rallied roughly 70% over the past 30 days, with the price touching a 52?week high of 10.23 euros on 3 June before retreating to around 7.87 euros. The borrowing rate for certain short?selling instruments hit 228%, a sign of acute scarcity in the securities lending market. Nordea Bank recently adjusted margins on leveraged short products, compounding the pressure on bears who had positioned for a decline after earlier short?attacks.

Sivers Semiconductors at a turning point? This analysis reveals what investors need to know now.

The stock’s annualised 30?day volatility is close to 250%, making it one of the most jittery names in the European technology space. Despite the correction from the June peak, the 50?day moving average sits at 4.04 euros — meaning the current price is nearly double that level. The relative strength index of 60 does not scream overbought, but the combination of restated losses, still?unrealised pipeline revenues and an ambitious Nasdaq timeline leaves little room for disappointment at the AGM.

On 15 June, investors will decide whether the board’s U.S.?focused strategy deserves their backing — a vote that will either validate JPMorgan’s huge bet or expose the lingering risks buried in the corrected books.
