Historical Context
| Date | Event | Sentiment | Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Feb 18 | Registered offering | Negative | -67.5% | Registered direct equity offering for about $3M at $0.25 per share. |
| Jan 02 | Strategic cooperation MOU | Positive | -0.1% | AI-focused cross-border education partnership MOU with South Korea’s Chinalink. |
Recent capital-raising news drew a sharp selloff, while strategic cooperation news had minimal price impact, indicating higher sensitivity to dilution than partnership headlines.
Over the past months, JDZG combined balance sheet actions with strategic expansion efforts. On February 18, 2026, it priced a registered direct offering at $0.25 per share for potential proceeds of about $3.0 million, which saw a -67.53% 24-hour reaction. Earlier, on January 2, 2026, the company announced an AI-focused strategic cooperation MOU with Chinalink, tied to global market expansion, with a largely flat -0.12% move. Today’s Korea–U.S. tech investment MOU builds directly on that cross-border cooperation theme.
Market Pulse Summary
The stock surged +13.4% in the session following this news. A strong positive reaction aligns with JDZG’s push to transform prior education-focused cooperation with Chinalink into a broader Korea–U.S. technology investment platform. The proposed capital pool of up to US$5 million targets scalable AI and robotics businesses, expanding beyond JDZG’s legacy base. Investors may still weigh this against recent dilution from the $3.0 million offering and the stock’s position near its 52-week low, which could influence how durable any enthusiasm becomes.

$5 million to support equity investments in selected Korean technology companies; - focus on AI-integrated industries, including intelligent robotics, such as smart cleaning robotics, elderly care and healthcare robotics, security and surveillance robotics, and commercial AI service robotics;
- consider potential investments in AI-powered education platforms, including adaptive learning systems, intelligent tutoring platforms, AI language and cognitive training technologies, and cross-border digital education infrastructure; and
- establish a joint investment review mechanism to evaluate potential projects and oversee capital deployment.
The collaboration is intended to support companies with strong fundamentals and global growth potential, including those that may pursue international capital market opportunities.

Any investment will be subject to further negotiation and the execution of definitive agreements.
“This strategic cooperation may provide opportunities for us to broaden our cross-border investment reach and engage with innovative technology companies in South Korea,” said Yuan Li, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Co-Chief Executive Officer of JIADE LIMITED. “We believe that combining capital resources with technology-driven growth opportunities can create long-term value.”
