Historical Context
| Date | Event | Sentiment | 24h Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Feb 15 | FY 2025 earnings | Negative | +6.2% | Revenue and profit declined while expenses rose during a transition year. |
| Jan 23 | Nasdaq notice | Negative | +1.3% | Non-compliance notice for missing deadline to hold annual shareholder meeting. |
| Nov 13 | ADIPEC expansion | Positive | +0.2% | Supply agreement and ADNOC system access to deepen Middle East presence. |
| Nov 09 | ADIPEC debut | Positive | +3.3% | Debut at ADIPEC and authorization to manufacture Cooper engine models. |
24h Move is the share-price change in the day after each event; other market factors may also have contributed.
Recent history shows a balance of aligned and divergent moves: shares have risen on both positive expansion news and weaker earnings/regulatory updates, indicating news-tone alone has not dictated short-term reactions.
Over the past several months, Leishen Energy has combined weaker financial performance with a push for international expansion. Fiscal 2025 results on Feb 15, 2026 showed lower revenue and profit but emphasized IPO-driven liquidity and global growth plans. A Nasdaq notice on Jan 23, 2026 highlighted an annual-meeting compliance issue. Earlier, two ADIPEC-related releases in November 2025 marked the formal start of its Middle East strategy. Today’s reaffirmation of its Saudi facility and regional commitment extends that expansion narrative despite geopolitical challenges.

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, April 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Leishen Energy Holding Co., Ltd. ("Leishen Energy" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: LSE), a leading provider of clean-energy equipment and integrated solutions for the oil and gas industry, today reaffirmed its long-term strategic commitment to the Middle East market, confirming that the development of its Saudi Arabia production facility, LSE Energy International, continues to advance as planned, notwithstanding ongoing regional conflicts.
Saudi Facility on Track
The Company confirmed that its Saudi subsidiary, LSE Energy International, is progressing steadily towards establishing its manufacturing base in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. To this end, the Company is in the process of finalizing industrial land arrangement, completing a feasibility study and progressing through the local regulatory process. The facility, which the Company currently is planning to produce reciprocating compressors, expanders, flexible composite pipes, Christmas tree equipment, wellhead control panels, inverters, energy storage systems, and generators, is anticipated to be a core pillar of Leishen Energy's regional growth strategy.
Post-Conflict Reconstruction Opportunity
The ongoing conflicts in parts of the Middle East have resulted in significant damage to oil and gas infrastructure, including pipelines, compression stations, wellhead equipment, and energy storage facilities. Against this backdrop, Leishen Energy sees not only a commercial opportunity but also a responsibility to contribute to the region's recovery. Operating as a local Saudi entity, the Company’s manufacturing facility will be situated near the Port of Jubail, and the Company plans to fully adhere to Saudi Arabia’s localization requirements to fulfill its social commitments.
"We are deeply aware that many oil and gas assets across the Middle East have been severely damaged during the recent conflicts," said the Chairman Hongqi Li for Leishen Energy. "Leishen Energy is committed to playing a constructive role in the region's post-war rehabilitation and reconstruction. Our Saudi production facility is strategically planned to be positioned to supply high-quality, reliable equipment to help restore energy infrastructure, stabilize supply chains, and support economic recovery across the region."
Long-Term Market Presence
Despite near-term geopolitical headwinds, Leishen Energy views the Middle East as a core market for long-term growth. The Company plans to deepen its presence not only in Saudi Arabia but also in neighboring Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries and the wider Middle East and Africa region. Leishen Energy will continue to explore strategic partnerships, expand localized manufacturing capabilities, and deliver integrated solutions tailored specifically to the region’s post-conflict rebuilding needs.
"We are not a short-term player. We plan to stay, to rebuild, and to grow alongside our partners in the Middle East," the Chairman added.
