NOVONIX Ltd ( (AU:NVX) ) just unveiled an update.

NOVONIX has completed the sale of its NOVONIX Battery Technology Solutions business in Nova Scotia to former CEO Chris Burns, in a move to sharpen its focus on developing a vertically integrated synthetic graphite supply chain in North America. The divested unit will operate as two independent companies, Avrion Battery Labs for advanced testing and R&D, and Dryve Battery Materials for commercializing a dry cathode synthesis platform, with NOVONIX retaining a 15% equity stake in Dryve as it reallocates capital and management attention toward its core synthetic graphite and battery materials operations.

The transaction was structured as a share equity sale of the BTS business, including all related assets and liabilities, for a nominal price of US$1.00, with BTS holding a US$2 million cash balance at closing, subject to adjustments. NOVONIX will provide transition services and a time-limited trademark license to the buyer, underscoring a strategic retreat from non-core businesses while maintaining exposure to cathode technology, which could support its broader role in the growing North American battery supply chain.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:NVX) stock is a Buy with a A$0.83 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on NOVONIX Ltd stock, see the AU:NVX Stock Forecast page.
