Summary
$22 ADS priced 4.3 million shares in Londian Wason’s NYSE debut, implying about $94.6 million raised before expenses; the stock opened at $26.00 under ticker FOIL.
The company said the proceeds will fund global production expansion, plant upgrades and R&D, aiming to scale ultra-thin and high-tensile battery foil alongside higher-end PCB and CCL products.
Londian Wason said it was the world’s largest lithium-ion battery copper foil supplier by 2025 sales volume and counts LG Energy Solution, CATL, SK On and Samsung SDI among customers.
The listing gives U.S. market access to a copper-foil maker tied to battery, PCB and laminate supply chains, with the company describing itself as the only copper foil manufacturer publicly listed in the U.S.
With incredibly thin margins despite billions in revenue, can Londian Wason's explosive NYSE debut truly sustain its long-term battery market dominance?
Will Londian Wason's strategic expansion into Malaysia be enough to protect its ultra-thin copper foil supply chain from rising global trade pressures?
