A day after Sivers Semiconductors shares suffered a sharp 15.79% rout, landing at €6.70, the company received an unexpected vote of confidence from one of Wall Street’s biggest names. JPMorgan Chase disclosed late Friday that it had crossed the 5% threshold in voting rights, holding 16,098,583 shares – equivalent to 5.25008% of the total. The position is held through its subsidiaries J.P. Morgan Securities plc and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, with the former accounting for the larger portion.
The timing is notable. Just two trading sessions earlier, the stock had touched a new yearly high of €10.23, meaning the bank’s buying activity occurred during a period of extreme volatility. On a monthly basis, Sivers shares are still up 43.98%, but the annualized volatility sits at an eye-watering 247.13%, underscoring how heavily the stock rides on news flow around photonics, AI data centres, and the company’s US ambitions.
Those ambitions now rest on the outcome of an annual general meeting scheduled for Monday, 15 June 2026, at 4:00 pm in Stockholm. Shareholders must register by 9 June, and those already entered in Euroclear Sweden’s register as of 5 June are eligible to vote. The agenda is unusually dense, with the central item being a proposed authorization for the board to issue up to 53,844,956 new common shares – representing dilution of roughly 15% on a fully diluted basis. The capital raised would fund organic growth, potential acquisitions, and, crucially, the planned secondary listing on the Nasdaq in New York.
Management argues that the new equity line gives it the flexibility to attract US investors and execute a dual listing, a move that required the company to upgrade its financial audits to PCAOB standards. Sivers has already restated its consolidated accounts for 2024 and 2025, adjusting revenue recognition, inventory valuations, share-based compensation assumptions, and amortization of capitalized development costs. But the path to New York has attracted regulatory scrutiny: Swedish authorities are investigating a potential leak of information that appeared on an anonymous X account roughly 48 hours before the official Nasdaq announcement. Prosecutor Jonas Myrdal has described the timing and trading patterns as “striking,” with elements reminiscent of earlier pump-and-dump cases, and the Swedish Economic Crime Authority is examining whether EU market abuse regulations were violated.
Should investors sell immediately? Or is it worth buying Sivers Semiconductors?
Beyond the dilution vote, shareholders will also decide on a long-term employee option program covering up to 7,000,000 new stock options – equivalent to roughly 2.0% on a fully diluted basis. The options target staff in the US, Scotland, Sweden, and India, explicitly excluding external board members. Approval requires a nine-tenths majority of votes and shares represented. Additionally, the meeting will vote on the election of Helena Svancar and Joakim Nideborn to the board.
Yet the credibility of Sivers’ investment story faces attacks from multiple directions. The short seller Ningi Research has questioned revenue recognition and the substance of customer contracts. US law firm Rosen Law Firm is probing possible misleading business information. And on Friday, portfolio manager Richard Bråse of the Protean Aktiesparfond Norden appeared on Di TV, sharply criticizing management as “completely unserious” and accusing the company of using unrealistic press releases to influence the share price.
Operationally, the first quarter provided weak ammunition for the bulls. Revenue fell 22% year-on-year to 61.9 million Swedish kronor, a decline the company attributes to delayed US defence budgets and currency effects. Adjusted EBITDA came in at negative 13.8 million kronor, and operating cash flow was negative 49.2 million kronor. To counter that, Sivers points to a rapidly expanding opportunity pipeline: since the start of the year, the pipeline has surged 77% to $799 million, compared with the end of 2025. Management insists the near-term weakness does not reflect the long-term potential and expects the bulk of 2026 growth to materialise in the second half, with an annual revenue growth target of 25-30% from 2027 onward.
The next financial report lands on 6 August 2026, covering first-half results. By then, the AGM will have set the strategic direction, and the market will get its first operational read on whether the dilution and Nasdaq plans are gaining traction. For now, Sivers shares remain caught between the confidence signal from a major bank building a 5% stake and the grinding pressure of a 15% dilution proposal, regulatory probes, and short-seller attacks. The 15 June vote will determine which force wins out.
