STAK Stock Sinks 55% Premarket Following 602% Rally as Investors Weigh Share Supply

NEW YORK, July 27, 2026, 08:05 EDT — STAK shares tumbled 55% in premarket U.S. trading after soaring 602%, as attention shifted to the stock’s available supply.

  • STAK was priced at $4.16 before Monday’s market open, marking a 55.1% drop compared to Friday.
  • On Friday, turnover exceeded 59 million shares, almost six times the projected Class A share count.
  • Nearly 90% of the initial Class A tally is represented by nine million warrants.

STAK Inc. dropped 55.1% to $4.16 ahead of Monday’s session, wiping out roughly 64% of the stock’s gain from Friday. Shares had previously jumped 602.3% to $9.27 and reached a peak of $12.

The shift places the focus of the trade on the number of shares. On Friday, trading volume exceeded 59 million shares, which was a minimum of 5.9 times the early estimate for Class A shares at 10.01 million.

The estimate adds 4.01 million Class A shares disclosed as of December 31 to another six million issued in January. Each share may change hands multiple times. Nevertheless, the ratio indicates a notably high concentration of trading.

STAK began Friday following three consecutive declines but gained 0.8% on Thursday. Despite this, it ended the week 383% higher than its close on July 17. On Monday, premarket trading showed it still up 117% from that same benchmark.

There was no new company statement posted on STAK’s investor-relations page on Friday. The most recent announcement, dated June 8, detailed plans for a proposed U.S. artificial-intelligence energy project.

Initial estimates indicate the extent of the valuation adjustment:

MeasureFriday closeMonday premarket
Share price$9.27$4.16
Implied equity value$178.1 million$79.9 million
Value relative to annualized H1 revenue4.6 times2.1 times
Value compared with December book equity11.9 times5.3 times

Initial calculations are based on a total of 19.21 million shares, with both classes holding identical economic rights. No share changes after January are included. Annualised revenue is calculated by doubling unaudited sales from the first half and does not represent a projection.

The implied equity value on Friday was nearly 12 times December book equity. On Monday, that metric dropped to roughly five times. STAK was still valued at more than double its basic annualized revenue.

STAK primarily manufactures vehicles and equipment tailored for use in oilfields. The company’s recent operational performance did not match the extent of its share price fluctuation. Unaudited revenue for the first half increased by 13.4% to $19.2 million.

Gross margin decreased to 27.24% compared to 30.65%. Net income was down to $1.82 million from $2 million. The company cited higher new-vehicle production expenses and promotional pricing as factors in the reduced margin.

The balance sheet for December displayed cash holdings of $1.92 million, while short-term debt totaled $7.57 million. The January offering generated approximately $2.2 million in net proceeds.

The deal additionally issued nine million warrants with a strike price of $0.46. These warrants cannot be exercised until two years later in 2028. The warrants represent almost 90% of the estimated total of current Class A shares.

If fully exercised, the warrants would account for 31.9% of the total shares after exercise. This additional supply is not imminent but continues to represent a significant long-term overhang at Monday’s stated price.

The June memo outlined plans for a U.S. subsidiary with 60% ownership. Each modular gas generator is built to deliver as much as 1.4 megawatts. The establishment is subject to finalizing agreements and securing regulatory approval.

Chuanbo Jiang, Chairman and CEO, stated that AI expansion was driving “substantial and sustained demand for reliable, distributed power solutions.” The announcement did not specify customers or the value of any orders. PR Newswire

The focus in the coming week shifts to concrete evidence. Investors are expected to seek out signed deals, permits, customer agreements or details on financing. In the absence of these, trading volumes could have a greater impact on the stock than performance figures.

Risks: The power project is in its early stages, and implementation may be drawn out. A limited projected Class A base, along with potential future warrants, could increase volatility, amplifying potential returns and losses.

What is the current level of STAK following its 602% jump on Friday?

STAK surged 602.27% to close at $9.27 on Friday, July 24. Early premarket trading on Monday, July 27, signaled a decline to between $4.13 and $4.25, down about 54%–55%. Premarket volume reached around 2.3 million to 2.4 million shares. The premarket bid-ask range was reported between $4.04 and $4.72. These figures can shift significantly before the regular session starts. StockAnalysis

What led to the unusual market action on Friday?

The share price on Friday moved between $1.17 and $12.00, closing at $9.27. Leading data vendors showed trading volumes between 59 million and 67 million shares, about six times the most recently reported 10.01 million Class A shares outstanding. No company statement or regulatory filing was posted that day. The most recent company disclosure continued to reference the AI-power subsidiary agreement announced in June. The specific trigger for the move remains unclear. StockAnalysis

Was the surge driven mostly by a short squeeze?

Nasdaq reported official short interest at 462,373 shares as of July 15, marking a 25.5% decrease from the prior period. Vendors’ float estimates put short interest around either 4.6% or 27%, highlighting ongoing debate about the number of tradable shares. These figures do not reflect Friday’s spike; short interest updates only twice monthly. Friday’s trading volume surpassed the reported short interest by more than 100 times. While a squeeze may have been a factor, the currently available data does not confirm this. Fintel

Has the AI data center power project begun operations?

Currently, company filings show no confirmed progress. On June 8, STAK revealed a memorandum of understanding outlining plans for a Delaware subsidiary, 60% owned, that would operate in Texas. The initiative envisions each modular container delivering up to 1.4 megawatts to support AI data centers. However, binding contracts, EPA approval, and state licenses are still pending. The disclosure reported no finalized customer deals or commercial project income. PR Newswire

What did the most recent financial results indicate?

Revenue for the first half of fiscal 2026 climbed 13.41% to $19.23 million. Gross profit edged up 0.8% to $5.24 million. Gross margin narrowed to 27.24% from 30.65% a year earlier. Net income dropped 9.1% to $1.82 million. Basic and diluted earnings decreased to $0.14 per share from $0.20. Revenue rose but profitability weakened. SEC

Is the new-energy vehicle segment now significant?

STAK disclosed cumulative new-energy vehicle revenue of RMB62.6 million, or roughly $9.2 million, for the nine months ended March 31, 2026. Early revenue for May–June 2025 was reported at about $0.4 million. STAK’s current lineup features four battery-electric vehicles tailored for industrial applications. The reported nine-month total partially overlaps with the first-half period, so investors should avoid adding it directly to first-half revenue. The company did not release any independently audited segment financials. PR Newswire

What is the strength of STAK’s balance sheet?

As of December 31, cash and cash equivalents stood at $1.92 million. Short-term borrowings amounted to $7.57 million, with an additional $0.43 million in long-term debt. Operating cash flow turned positive at $0.67 million over six months. Inventory was $18.31 million, accounting for about 62% of total assets. These numbers are from before the 6.0-million-unit offering in January. Net proceeds from the offering brought in about $2.2 million to STAK. SEC

What is the extent of dilution and the impact of warrant overhang?

January’s issuance involved 6.0 million units sold at $0.38 each, with each unit including one Class A share and 1.5 warrants. This brought the reported total of Class A shares to about 10.01 million. The attached warrants provide for as many as 9.0 million additional Class A shares if fully exercised, which would boost the Class A share total by close to 90%. Warrants have an exercise price of $0.46 and a three-year duration. Exercise typically starts on the second anniversary of the issuance date. Directors and officers were projected in the prospectus to retain 96.5% voting power post-closing. SEC

What valuation is reflected by the current trading price?

With 19.21 million A and B shares disclosed, Friday’s closing price of $9.27 valued the company at $178 million. In premarket trading Monday, shares ranged between $4.13 and $4.25, putting the market value near $79 million to $82 million. Public quote platforms display varying market caps due to differing share-count sources. The company is structured as a Cayman Islands holding entity, with primary business activities in mainland China. Revenue for fiscal 2025 reached $24.9 million, alongside a net loss of $5.7 million. For the first half of fiscal 2026, net income totaled $1.82 million. Market valuation changed significantly faster than operating results. SEC

What are the key levels and triggers to watch this week?

Friday’s peak of $12.00 stands out as the main short-term upside marker. In premarket trading on Monday, shares dropped as low as $4.04. The closing price ahead of Friday’s rally was $1.32. Trading volume surpassed 59 million shares, making standard chart signals less reliable. Clearer fundamental drivers might include confirmed AI partnerships, new permits, or significant customer deals. Investors should keep watch for updates on financing, changes to warrants, and possible new share offerings. Nasdaq compliance was regained in April, easing immediate concerns about delisting.
