What this transaction means for investors
Everyday investors could take AIGH Capital’s sale of MaxLinear shares as a sign the firm isn’t satisfied with the underlying business. The firm closed out over a dozen positions during the fourth quarter of 2025, and MaxLinear was largest it let go of.
Everyday investors could also look at AIGH’s sale of MaxLinear as a repositioning of the portfolio towards the biopharmaceutical industry. During the fourth quarter, AIGH Capital added several relatively large positions in companies that develop new drugs.
MaxLinear stock has risen just 1.2% since the end of the fourth quarter of 2025. Despite the paltry stock price appreciation, the fourth-quarter results the company released on Jan. 29, 2026, probably made AIGH Capital wish it were still holding the stock. Net revenue soared by 48% year over year and by 8% since the third quarter. On an adjusted basis, the company reported earnings that rose to $0.19 per share from a loss of $0.09 in the previous year period.
