ECARX Holdings ( (ECX) ) has shared an update.

On January 8, 2026, ECARX Holdings Inc. entered into a subscription agreement under which Geely Investment Holding Ltd. will make a strategic US$45.6 million private placement into the company by purchasing 27,297,002 newly issued Class A ordinary shares at US$1.67 per share, a price based on the 20-day volume-weighted average on Nasdaq, with the shares subject to a six-month lock-up and closing contingent on customary conditions. ECARX plans to deploy the proceeds to accelerate development and global rollout of its vehicle hardware and software platforms, including strengthening its German R&D hub and infrastructure in South America and Southeast Asia; executives from both Geely and ECARX framed the investment, announced in London on January 12, 2026, as a vote of confidence in ECARX’s technology, its recent project wins with Volkswagen Group and partnership with Lotus Tech, and its broader strategy to cement its role in the global smart, connected vehicle ecosystem despite what management characterizes as a share price that lags the firm’s long-term prospects.
