adding data Fill missing fields with values from the filled rowline below to all previous rows

I have a semicolon-separated data file, where only a few lines have the "complete" dataset. They are at the end of the block of lines to which the dataset applies. I want to add data from thethis complete filled row below to the top rowrows above, withusing a shell script (or a similar command-line tool).

For example, let's say the file I have contains the following wordsdata:

86540701
86951202
86262402
86509002
86770802
86459902
86301002
86485102
86556002;Vivo Y11;1630000;NULL;;;
86447404
86161405
86388604
86106105
86426405;Xiaomi Redmi 8A Pro (Redmi 8A Dual);1465000;4;;;

I want to be able to find the complete lines and substitute that data underneath to put into the dataincomplete lines above it, like thisso:

86540701;Vivo Y11;1630000;NULL;;;
86951202;Vivo Y11;1630000;NULL;;;
