SPWR Increases Equity Line Of Credit (ELOC) to $55 Million
Rhea-AI Summary
SunPower (Nasdaq: SPWR) amended its Equity Line of Credit with White Lion Capital to raise the commitment from $30 million to $55 million. Management says the larger ELOC is a backstop to support a company policy of maintaining a minimum quarter-end cash balance of $10 million and can be drawn at SunPower’s discretion to limit dilution. The company said the ELOC was not needed for Q4 2025 because it was cash-flow positive after record revenue and operating income. SunPower will report Q4 2025 results and host a webcast on January 20, 2026 at 1:00pm ET.
