NEW YORK, Jan 30, 2026, 12:54 EST — Regular session
- Shares of TechCreate Group jumped roughly 172%, closing at $235 following another volatile session
- The company stated it had no knowledge of any undisclosed information that might account for the recent jump
- TCGL has hit multiple volatility halts amid surging trading volume
TechCreate Group Ltd’s U.S.-listed shares surged roughly 172% to $235 on Friday, continuing a wild two-day rollercoaster that thrust the small software company into the spotlight. Intraday, the stock swung between $129.74 and $351.69.
The announcement followed NYSE American’s inquiry into the spike just a day earlier, with the company responding it was “not aware of any material nonpublic information” beyond what had already been shared. 1
Trading faced several interruptions from “volatility pauses” — automatic, short halts triggered when a stock price swings sharply. TCGL saw multiple pauses Friday morning, according to exchange halt data from Cboe. 2
Thursday brought the bigger shakeup. TechCreate finished at $86.36, soaring 889% from Wednesday’s $8.73 close, after spiking as high as $136.32 during the day, according to price data from StockAnalysis. 3
TechCreate, a Singapore-based firm, offers payment software solutions, specializing in real-time payment systems and cybersecurity. Its services extend across Singapore, Brunei, and Cambodia, according to its company profile. 4
The stock started trading on NYSE American in October following an initial public offering set at $4 per share, according to a filing. 5
For investors, the “why” boils down to microstructure at the moment: when a small-cap stock jumps in 100% increments, it sparks momentum trading where price swings and halts take center stage. This attracts quick money but tends to spook those who rely on tight spreads and steady fills.
The key question remains if there’ll be any new disclosure. Traders are hunting for fresh filings, exchange notices, or corporate updates that might confirm the jump—or put the brakes on it.
The risk is straightforward and well-known. A stock that surges without an obvious trigger can just as quickly plunge, and multiple trading halts might trap investors at unfavorable prices.
