T1 Energy Stock Slides 18% Following $135 Million Evervolt Patent Deal
Investors sent T1 Energy shares tumbling 18% to $4.04 Tuesday morning after the company announced a $135 million acquisition of solar technology assets from Singapore-based Evervolt. The market reaction signals skepticism toward the deal, which compounds a 21% decline in the stock price over the last three months.
Financial terms require a $60 million initial payment in company shares within three business days of closing. Beyond an initial $2 million deposit, the remaining $133 million will be settled across four installments. T1 Energy retains the flexibility to pay these in cash or stock, though any equity issued will carry a 15% discount to the five-day volume-weighted average price. Concurrently, the firm projected second-quarter revenue between $245 million and $255 million, alongside a forecasted operating loss of $34 million to $37 million.
