• Neutral Sentiment: Competitive product news from RIR Power Electronics — a new SiC Merged‑PiN Schottky diode from a competitor may affect specific power markets, but Diodes’ broader product rollouts mitigate single‑product competitive risk. RIR Power Electronics launches advanced SiC MPS diodes
• Negative Sentiment: Clustered insider selling on Feb 2–3 — CEO Gary Yu (2,900 shares), CFO Brett Whitmire (830), SVP Emily Yang (950) and another insider (525) sold at ~ $60.85 average.
