BARCELONA - Wallbox N.V. (NYSE:WBX), a leading provider of electric vehicle (EV) charging and energy management solutions, has been notified of non-compliance with New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) continued listing standards. The notice, received on November 21, 2024, indicates that Wallbox's Class A ordinary shares did not maintain the required minimum average closing price of $1.00 over a consecutive 30 trading-day period. Currently trading at $0.48, the stock has declined nearly 77% over the past year, according to InvestingPro data, which suggests the stock is currently trading below its Fair Value.
Despite the deficiency, the company's shares will remain listed on the NYSE as Wallbox aims to address the issue.

However, InvestingPro data indicates significant challenges, including a debt burden of $272.92 million and negative EBITDA of -$88.43 million in the last twelve months.
