Envirotech Vehicles Inc (EVTV) shares surged 42.03% to reach a 20-day high, reflecting strong market optimism following the announcement of its acquisition of AZIO AI.
The acquisition involves Envirotech Vehicles signing an amended letter of intent to acquire 100% of AZIO AI's equity at a reference price of $3.00 per share, valuing the deal at approximately $480 million.

The merger is expected to enhance Envirotech's market position and investor confidence.
The implications of this acquisition are substantial, as it not only positions Envirotech Vehicles for growth in the AI infrastructure sector but also reflects a broader trend of consolidation in the market, driven by strategic partnerships and investor backing.
