Enovix (ENVX) Stock Acquires Routejade; ENVX Stock Plunges

Enovix (ENVX) stock price has been in an uptrend since the start of 2023, forming higher lows and rising from the support level of $7. The stock price surged roughly 240% from the support level, creating an annual high of $23.90.

On August 17, ENVX stock price broke the bullish trend and headed downwards. The stock price formed support at $13.10 and commenced a bullish rally to retest the bullish trend line.

ENVX stock faced rejection from the bullish trend line and $15, which pushed the price back toward the recent support of $13.10, which was shattered. Enovix stock price melted further. If the bearish momentum continues and ENVX stock price shatters $11.60 support, it may melt toward the next critical support of $10.50.

On the other hand, if $11.60 can hold the price, it may retest the previous zone. However, bearish momentum is pretty strong and the probability of a bullish move playing out is low. Enovix needs to break above the resistance level of $16 to retest the annual high and gain bullish momentum.

Why Did Enovix Stock Fall in the Past Few Trading Days?

Enovix, a next-generation battery maker, has declined in the last few trading days. The stock price has eroded more than 18% in the current week. On August 20, Enovix announced its purchase of Routejade, a privately held Korean battery maker, in a cash and stock deal. The battery maker is parting with approximately 6.2 Million shares of its common stock, plus $16.5 Million in cash, to effect the purchase.

Routejade is a developer and supplier of lithium-ion batteries that targets the market’s consumer health and military segment. The acquisition is because Routejade holds a patent for encapsulation technology that can be applied to different battery form factors.

Investors strongly disapproved the recent acquisition for $16.5 million plus nearly $73.3 million in value of common stock, which equals roughly $90 million. Investors might be thinking that’s a rich price to acquire. Enovix had over $343 Million on its book at the end of the recent reported quarter.
