Highlights

  • Novonix shares rise over 2% to 68 cents, outperforming the ASX 200, which slipped into the red.
  • Strong investor demand for Novonix's Share Purchase Plan (SPP) raises AU$32.3 million, significantly exceeding the AU$5 million target.
  • Funds will support equipment upgrades at the company’s Tennessee facility, linked to key contracts with Panasonic, Stellantis, and PowerCo.

Novonix Ltd (ASX:NVX) shares outshone the broader market on Wednesday, climbing as much as 4.5% during the session before settling up over 2% at 68 cents. This strong performance stands in stark contrast to the S&P/ASX 200 Index, which slipped into negative territory.

The rally follows an announcement from the battery materials and technology company, which has significantly bolstered its balance sheet through an oversubscribed Share Purchase Plan (SPP).

Oversubscribed SPP Surpasses Expectations

Novonix revealed that its SPP, priced at 60 cents per share, received overwhelming interest from eligible shareholders. Initially targeting AU$5 million, the company accepted valid applications for 68.6 million shares, raising a total of AU$41.2 million before costs.

To accommodate the strong demand, management expanded the size of the SPP by AU$27.3 million, bringing the total amount raised to AU$32.3 million before costs. While not all valid applications could be fully allocated, the company ensured a high level of shareholder participation.

Strategic Use of Funds

The proceeds from the SPP will be invested in purchasing, installing, and commissioning additional equipment at Novonix’s Riverside facility in Chattanooga, Tennessee. This initiative aims to further qualify products for key contracts with major global players such as Panasonic, Stellantis, and PowerCo.

The equipment upgrades are a crucial step in enhancing production capabilities and supporting the company’s growth plans as it works to solidify its position in the competitive battery technology sector.

Positive Momentum Over the Year

Despite a challenging market environment, Novonix shares have delivered a nearly 5% gain over the past 12 months.
