The investment transaction involves Polestar selling approximately 190.5 million of its Class A American Depository shares at a price of $1.05 per share to PSD Investment Limited.
Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Andres Sheppard maintained the neutral stance on Polestar stock in light of this capital infusion from its major backer.
