Today I added to my $POWI (Power Integrations) position, planting my flag in what I believe will be a massive Capex wave transforming the entire power semi space
Currently, $NVTS is getting all the love which is fair, however...
With the release of the specs for the upcoming architecture of the 800V Data center for VR200 it is quite clear that there will be a huge demand for high voltage GaN rather than high speed integration GaN in which NVTS provides
The server rack will be scaling from 120 kW to 600 kW (!)
The core issue isn't going to be how fast a chip can switch, it will be about how much raw voltage can actually survive
Navitas flagship GaN tech (GaNFast and GaNSafe) maxes out at 650V
It was originally designed for high speed switching in consumer electronics and lower volt apps not not megawatt scale AI infrastructure
A 800V data center will instantly destroy a lone 650v chip. To participate, NVTS has to combine lower voltage components in a highly complex stacked build which creates clunky workarounds, wastes physical space, and introduces severe points of failure
POWI's chips doesn't require these unnecessary workarounds
Their InnoMux-2 is the ONLY chip on earth that features a 1700v switch on a single piece of silicon
When NVDA starts to roll out these high power racks, a single PowiGaN chip will be able to handle it natively with an integrated safety buffer to spare
Which is IMPORTANT because in the case of power spikes, POWI's voltage leaves a 900v buffer that is built to handle the power spikes without creating a power failure
Let me put this into context for you guys
If NVDA said F it let's skip 800v and go straight to 1200v DC POWI's 1700v chips are still able to handle the power consumption TODAY still with a SAFETY BUFFER
Here is why $POWI is still undervalued:
They didn't build the 1700v chip for AI
They originally built it to handle unstable power grids in developing markets and heavy electric vehicle architectures
When $NVDA shifted the Vera Rubin architecture to an 800V DC baseline, their engineers realized they needed a battle tested SINGLE chip solution to safely drive the background cooling infrastructure (fans, liquid pumps, and logic controllers)
POWI was the only company in the world that had spent decades perfecting single chip high volt integration.
That deep reliability is why they are co-designing power blueprints alongside NVIDIA TODAY
If you track the projected power infrastructure spend per AI rack, the metrics are going vertical:
Current (GB200): $36,000 per rack
2026 (Vera Rubin): $76,000 per rack
2027 (Vera Rubin Ultra / Kyber): >10x increase (Over $360,000 to $398,000+ per rack)
POWI's TAM is literally multiplying right before our eyes
Currently, their entire business is still being dragged down by legacy
When you look at $POWI at surface level, you see flat YoY revenue, lower GAAP margins, and a high P/E ratio
but don't be fooled, their PowiGaN product division is growing at over 40% annually and will continue to accelerate as the VR is deployed
In February 2026, POWI even did a 7% workforce reduction to reallocate that money toward scaling DC revenue
You are essentially paying a cyclical multiple for a boring legacy appliance business, and getting a structurally protected, high voltage AI pure play for free even after the initial move
From a TA perspective, just look how coiled it is. Currently trading under it's HTF downtrend line while simultaneously allowing moving averages to play catch up
It's only a matter of when not if imo this breaks out
