What this transaction means for investors
The reduction in direct shares held by Navitas Board of Directors member Gary Kent Wunderlich is worth noting because it reduced his position substantially. While Mr. Wunderlich still has over a million Navitas shares indirectly, his disposition of about half his direct holdings after the stock had a massive run up this year suggests he is taking the opportunity to cash in.
Navitas shares have surged thanks to the fervor around artificial intelligence. The semiconductor company is shifting its focus towards the data center market. This area has seen massive tech spending as infrastructure is being built to accommodate AI systems.
On top of that, the company is partnering with AI semiconductor chip leader Nvidia, which also helped fuel Navitas stock's rise. After it announced it's working with Nvidia, Navitas shares soared to a 52-week high of $17.79 in October.
Right now, Navitas stock's valuation in on the high side with a price-to-sales ratio of about 30. It's a good time to sell Navitas shares, as Mr. Wunderlich has done, but it's not prudent to buy at this time.
