Sivers Semiconductors is trading 6.69% higher at $3.19, with a possible catalyst in an October 9 photonics deal report. - It signed an agreement of intent to combine its photonics subsidiary with Nordic Acquisition Corporation, potentially creating a publicly traded photonics company. - Due diligence and regulatory approval remain, and a final agreement is pending; the report did not explicitly link the news to the share move. - A separate October 9 report recirculated the previously announced $30 million Glasgow expansion.
