On June 18, Wolfspeed rose 8.22% in regular trading, trading at $52.21/share, with turnover of $112 million. The rally was driven by continued market enthusiasm over the company's recently launched fifth-generation (Gen 5) silicon carbide MOSFET technology, compounded by broad strength across the semiconductor sector.
Wolfspeed officially unveiled Gen 5 SiC MOSFET technology targeting next-generation 1200V and 750V automotive and industrial applications. The technology achieves the industry's highest current-carrying capacity per unit area in a 5x5mm package, with system efficiency up to 27% higher than competing solutions and specific on-resistance reduced 41% versus its own Gen 4 platform. The launch, coming less than 18 months after Gen 4, signals accelerated innovation cadence aligned with EV and AI infrastructure demand cycles.
The semiconductor sector provided additional tailwinds, with Marvell Technology up 9.12%, Micron Technology up 6.96%, and Intel up 6.07%. Having completed Chapter 11 restructuring with 70% debt reduction, Wolfspeed's financials remain in recovery with a net loss of $119.9 million last quarter, though the technology breakthrough reinforces its competitive positioning in the SiC market.
