A powerful new partnership
On Wednesday, Electrovaya announced a commercial agreement and a warrant transaction with Amazon regarding its Infinity Battery Technology, lithium-ion batteries designed for industrial applications such as material-handling operations. In addition, the agreement addresses the potential for future purchases of robotics and energy storage equipment.
Once Amazon achieves $280 million in cumulative future purchases, it will receive warrants to purchase up to 13,880,345 common shares of Electrovaya, which become fully vested upon. Upon execution of the agreement, Amazon will receive a portion of the warrants, which will vest immediately.
The $280 million in potential future purchases is notable for Electrovaya, which reported revenue of $63.8 million in fiscal 2025 and $44.6 million in fiscal 2024.
Recognizing the Amazon agreement as a major step for Electrovaya, Raymond James analyst Daniel Magder boosted his price target on Electrovaya stock to $22 from $14 and maintained a strong buy rating.
