Shares of Turbo Energy SA ADR (NASDAQ:TURB) jumped 9% Wednesday after the Valencia, Spain-based company announced a roughly $5.0 million capital raise and a material improvement in its balance sheet that places the company above Nasdaq's minimum stockholders' equity threshold.
Turbo Energy reported that its shareholders' equity rose to approximately $6.48 million from about $1.88 million as of December 31, 2025. The company said the funds were raised through a Registered Direct Offering and issuances made under its at-the-market program during 2026.
Management framed the financing as a step to strengthen its financial position relative to Nasdaq listing standards, while also noting that the exchange's review of the company remains ongoing. Turbo Energy explicitly cautioned that it cannot provide assurance about the final determination or the timing of Nasdaq's decision.
Operationally, Turbo Energy said it reported several developments during 2025 and into early 2026. Among the items disclosed was a strategic partnership with Hithium to embed AI-driven energy optimization software into battery storage systems across Europe and Latin America. The company also described an expansion into defense and energy security, including deployments of intelligent energy storage systems for international military operations.
Turbo Energy additionally highlighted growth at its Chile-based unit, Turbo Energy Solutions, which the company said is focused on integrated solar, storage and Energy-as-a-Service infrastructure projects. The firm stated it serves residential and commercial & industrial customers with offerings intended to improve efficiency and reduce electricity costs.
"Over the last year, we have executed a broad operational, technological and financial transformation across the Company," said Mariano Soria, Chief Executive Officer of Turbo Energy. "We have strengthened our balance sheet, expanded our international presence and made meaningful progress across next-generation energy storage, electrification and AI-enabled energy management markets."
The company underscored that while the capital raise and equity improvement position it above Nasdaq's minimum stockholders' equity requirement, the Nasdaq review process has not concluded. Turbo Energy reiterated that there is no guarantee on the outcome or timing of Nasdaq's final determination.
