Nissan's Potential $400 Million Investment in Fisker Sparks Optimism; Discussions are ongoing, the deal could close soon and strengthen Fisker's market position in electric vehicles.
Today, Nissan's potential strategic investment in Fisker is generating a lot of buzz. News of this development broke shortly after Fisker shares hit an all-time low. According to Portal, Nissan could invest a significant $400 million in Fisker's truck platform. This caused Fisker shares to rally and close at $0.4825 per share at the end of the week. The excitement wasn't over yet, as Fisker shares rose 7.73% to $0.5198 in after-hours trading, indicating a positive outlook among investors.
Henrik Fisker, Chairman and CEO of Fisker Inc., sat down with Yahoo Finance to discuss the company's performance and its recent shift to a dealer partnership model. While Henrik did not comment on the reported deal with Nissan, he did touch on ongoing discussions with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) about a possible strategic investment. Henrik stated that these discussions have already been going on for over six months, which underlines the considerable preparatory work that has already been done. He expressed hope that a deal would be reached soon.
Shifting electric vehicle programs from several OEMs has created a unique market segment for Fisker Alaska. There are currently no direct competitors for electric vehicles in terms of price and features. Henrik Fisker has suggested that a strategic partnership could significantly strengthen Fisker's growth strategy and facilitate local manufacturing. Henrik also highlighted Fisker's desire to focus on working with a single strategic partner that best fits its vision and goals.
Completion of the Nissan + Fisker deal
Neither Fisker nor Nissan have officially commented on the speculation. However, unknown sources suggest that the deal between the two companies could be completed as early as this month. The talks are ongoing, the terms and conditions have not yet been announced. Still, Nissan's potential investment could mark a significant milestone for Fisker's future in the electric vehicle market. And one thing is certain: completing this transaction would significantly increase the confidence of Fisker owners and shareholders.
