NOVONIX Secures US Tax Credit as It Refocuses on Synthetic Graphite Growth
NOVONIX has secured a US$103 million tax credit for its Riverside synthetic graphite project in the U.S. and plans to divest its non-core Battery Technology Solutions unit to concentrate on scaling synthetic graphite production in North America. This strategic shift, supported by federal incentives and potential tariffs on Chinese anode imports, aims to strengthen NOVONIX's position in the U.S. battery materials supply chain. The company has a "Buy" rating from analysts with an A$0.83 price target.
