Shares in Lithium-Ion Battery Company Electrovaya Soar After Amazon Deal
Amazon will get warrants that vest with US$280 million in purchases, and full exercise would give it 20.6% of Electrovaya shares.
On Wednesday, lithium-ion battery maker Electrovaya Inc. announced a commercial agreement and warrant transaction with Amazon, sending shares spiking nearly 50 per cent.
Amazon, already Electrovaya's largest customer accounting for roughly one-third of its US$63.8-million fiscal 2025 revenue, deepened ties with the 130-person company supplying electrified warehouse batteries.
Amazon will receive warrants to purchase up to 13,880,345 common shares that gradually vest upon US$280 million in cumulative purchases, potentially giving the tech giant a 20.6 per cent stake.
Trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange, Electrovaya shares climbed C$5.36 to C$16.42, extending a rally that has tripled the stock since end of 2024.
CEO Raj DasGupta said the company aims to expand manufacturing at a 52-acre Jamestown, New York site planned as its first gigafactory, with revenue forecast to surpass US$83 million this year.
The share price of Electrovaya, a lithium-ion battery manufacturer, jumped by almost 50% after the announcement of an agreement with Amazon that could see the technology giant acquire a significant stake in the company.
