Sivers Semiconductors’ Surge: The Blog That Lit the Fuse and the Billion-Dollar Deal That Made It Explode

I’ve been following the Swedish tech market for over a decade, and I have to be honest—I sat there with a serious sense of déjà vu on Thursday morning when trading kicked off. Sivers Semiconductors was simply everywhere. This wasn't just a rally; it was a tsunami. One of the country's largest financial newspapers reported that shares worth 200 million Swedish kronor changed hands just during the morning session—more than what our national treasure, Investor, traded in the same period. For those of you who aren't stock market fanatics: those are absolutely mind-blowing numbers for a company that most people outside the tech niche still can't spell.

So, what exactly lit the fuse? Well, it really started last Friday, when a familiar voice from the past—one many remember from analyst firms—stepped up to the keyboard. This person wrote a blog post that landed like a bombshell in investing circles. Their point was as simple as it was powerful: look at the valuation of US AI companies, then look at Sivers Semiconductors AB (publ), which holds the same kind of groundbreaking technology. The gap was ridiculous. The stock, which had been quietly simmering, caught fire and has since surged over 160%.

From Blog Hype to Billion-Dollar Contracts

The thing about rallies like this is that they rarely sustain themselves without substance. But here, we have a company that has been consistently delivering. For those willing to dig into the filings, we saw back in February that Sivers Semiconductors AB (publ) to Report Q4, 2024 Results on Feb 07, 2025, and the report was strong with positive adjusted EBITDA. Then came the next confirmation. In mid-March, it was announced that a customer in the LiDAR space—think advanced laser sensors for cars and industry—is now moving toward scalable volumes. We're talking about a revenue potential of up to a staggering $138 million USD over the product's lifecycle, starting in the fourth quarter of this year. That's not hype; that's serious money on the way.

And then there's the AI angle. A couple of weeks ago, Sivers Semiconductors announced a collaboration with O-Net and Enablence to develop custom-designed light sources. Why does that matter? Well, today's AI chips, like those from Nvidia, get so hot that ordinary lasers melt or stop working. Sivers' solution moves the light sources off the chip—it's called Co-Packaged Optics—and solves a massive headache for the entire data center industry. The experts I've spoken to point to an addressable market that could exceed $20 billion USD by 2036. That's the kind of thing that makes investment firms like Latour sit up and take notice.

The Numbers That Matter Right Now

For those of you who like hard facts and not just feelings, here’s a quick snapshot of the current situation:

• Q4 2025 showed net revenue of 80.7 million Swedish kronor, an increase of 5% from the previous year.
• Growth in constant currency stood at a full 17% for that quarter.
• The future business pipeline grew by 64% during 2025, reaching $453 million USD.
• Order intake for projects and products over the next few years was already at 234 million Swedish kronor at the turn of the year.

Sure, they're still posting a loss on the bottom line, but we're talking about the investment phase here. The interesting part is that order intake and the pipeline are growing faster than ever. Sivers Semiconductors AB has managed the neat trick of keeping its feet firmly planted in today's contracts (like the Intelsat deal, where volume deployment kicks off in 2026) while keeping its eyes fixed on tomorrow's megatrends.

What’s Next?

Now we've arrived at March 20, 2026. The frantic rally has settled at a level significantly higher than just two weeks ago, and the question everyone is asking is whether it's too late to jump in. My personal experience from similar journeys is that companies like Sivers Semiconductors AB (publ) rarely go back to where they started once they've caught the world's attention. The next big milestone to watch is April 27, 2026, when the year-end report for the full year 2025 is presented. That's when we'll see if the 234 million kronor order intake has translated into even higher numbers.

One thing is certain: from being a well-kept secret among hardcore tech investors, Sivers Semiconductors is now a name that even your neighbour has heard about over morning coffee. And in this industry, attention is sometimes what breeds success. Hold on tight—this could be quite a ride.
