# SEALSQ Boosts Stake in WISeSat.Space as SPAC Merger Closes and Nasdaq Trading Begins

SEALSQ Corp ( (LAES) ) just unveiled an update.

On October 1, 2026, SEALSQ completed a key step in its space-focused investment strategy as WISeSat.Space Holdings Corp closed its business combination with Columbus Acquisition Corp, WISeSat.Space Corp d/b/a SpaceAIQ and other affiliates, with trading of WISeSat.Space shares beginning on Nasdaq under the ticker “SAIQ” on October 2, 2026. In exchange for its SpaceAIQ shares, SEALSQ received 1,040,478 WISeSat.Space Ordinary Shares and an equal number of Class F Shares, strengthening its equity position in the newly listed space technology vehicle.

SEALSQ also finalized a previously agreed private investment in public equity on October 1, 2026, subscribing to 926,784 WISeSat.Space Ordinary Shares at a redemption-linked price of $10.79 per share. The deal includes price-protection that could grant SEALSQ additional shares if the market price falls below the purchase level after 60 days, along with lock-up restrictions, underscoring SEALSQ’s long-term commitment to WISeSat.Space and potentially enhancing its exposure to the commercial space and satellite data markets.

The most recent analyst rating on (LAES) stock is a Buy  
 with a $4.00 price target.

**Spark’s Take on LAES Stock**

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, LAES is a Neutral.

The score is held back primarily by weak financial performance (large ongoing losses and persistent cash burn) and bearish technical trend signals. These are partly offset by a more constructive earnings-call outlook with reaffirmed high-growth revenue guidance, strong gross margin progress, and substantial liquidity, while valuation remains challenged due to negative earnings and no dividend support.
