Today, investors have yet another SPAC (special purpose acquisition company) to focus on. Wallbox (NYSE:WBX) has finally gone public, with the first day of trading seeing WBX stock trade at around $9 per share, at the time of writing.
This electric vehicle (EV) charging tech provider is one that many investors may be keeping a close eye on in the coming days. The company’s focus on residential, semi-public and public chargers is a niche many investors see high growth potential in. As electric vehicles see higher adoption rates, investors are increasingly banking on pick-and-shovel plays within this sector. Accordingly, Wallbox is a de-SPAC stock that could get some love should this bull market continue.
