Shares of Enovix surged after the company landed a development deal with an undisclosed large smartphone manufacturer.
The stock was up 33% at $8.67 in premarket trading on Thursday. Shares had fallen 48% year-to-date when the market closed Wednesday and have swung between a high of $23.90 and a low of $5.70 in the past 12 months.
The silicon battery company said after the bell on Wednesday that it had reached a development deal with one of the top five smartphone original equipment manufacturers in the world, potentially providing a boost to its top line.
Enovix said it has started making EX-1M battery cells based on the customer's specifications and expects to deliver its first samples in the second quarter.
The company concurrently reported late Wednesday that its loss narrowed in the first quarter to 28 cents a share from 31 cents in the year-ago quarter. Quarterly revenue surged to $5.3 million from $21,000 last year.
