Historical Context

|---|---|---|---|---|

| Jan 14 | Strategic investment | Positive | +2.3% | $4M common equity investment at $2.00 per share with no warrants. |

Recent SKYX news on partnerships, retail launches, and strategic investments often saw positive price reactions, while broader strategic or financing updates sometimes coincided with short-term pullbacks.
Over the past month, SKYX reported multiple growth and funding milestones, including a Lowes launch, a $4.0M strategic investment at $2.00 per share, and a smart-home supply deal for 140 luxury homes with over 10,000 units. The company also highlighted NVIDIA collaboration and a corporate update citing $9.5M in new investment and sequential revenue growth. Against this backdrop, the new $25M registered direct offering extends a pattern of frequent capital raises alongside commercialization progress.
Regulatory & Risk Context
An active Form S-3 shelf dated 2026-01-16 covers the resale of up to 3,350,000 common shares by existing investors, including shares from Series A-2 Preferred Stock and a January 2026 private placement. SKYX will not receive proceeds from these resales, and conversions plus stock dividends on the preferred stock could dilute existing common holders and reduce their voting power.
Market Pulse Summary
The stock moved -6.1% in the session following this news. A negative reaction despite recent strength fits a pattern where financing and strategic filings sometimes coincided with pullbacks. The $25M registered direct offering adds 10M new common shares, on top of an active Form S-3 covering 3,350,000 resale shares and convertible preferred stock. Prior disclosures of deficits and dependence on external financing highlighted dilution and balance-sheet risk, which could have amplified selling pressure after the announcement.
