## **$6 Million Target For Industrial Push**

The company noted that the transaction is priced at-the-market under Nasdaq rules. Xos stated it expects the offering “to result in gross proceeds to the company of approximately $6 million, before deducting offering expenses.”

**Roth Capital Partners** is serving as the exclusive placement agent for the deal, which is expected to close on or about Friday.

## **Fueling AI Data Centers and Power Infrastructure**

The Los Angeles-based manufacturer outlined distinct capital allocation plans for the new cash injection. According to the announcement, Xos intends to use the net proceeds “to fund its growth plans, including the continued expansion of its Power Hub and energy storage business into the grid-independent power markets serving AI data centers, industrial facilities and other mission-critical power users.”

## **Balance Sheet Actions and Growth Strategy**

Beyond the data center push, the commercial EV leader plans to allocate the remaining funds toward “working capital, general corporate purposes and repayment of debt.”

## **Critical Price Levels To Watch For Xos**

The chart is still extended despite the sell-off: at $5.58, Xos is trading 135.8% above its 20-day SMA at $2.34 and 138.2% above its 200-day SMA at $2.31, which is the kind of separation that can be hard to sustain for long.

RSI is the clearest momentum lens here, sitting at 95.47.

**XOS Stock Price Activity:** Xos shares were down 25.80% at $5.54 at the time of publication on Thursday, according to Benzinga Pro data.
