Clean Energy Technologies shares surge 12.93% after-hours after securing $10M New York battery storage project.

think> Okay, let's tackle this query step by step. The user wants me to act as a financial analyst explaining a stock price movement based on relevant news events. The stock in question is Clean Energy (CETY), which had a significant after-hours increase of 12.93%. First, I need to determine the direction and session. The stock went up by 12.93% in the after-hours trading period. Now, I have to evaluate the six news events provided to see which ones are relevant and whether they contributed to this upward movement. Starting with Reason 1: It's about states advancing technology-neutral permitting for clean energy. The article discusses California's SB379 and the importance of technology-agnostic policies. While it's related to clean energy policy, it's more about policy implications rather than a direct business win for Clean Energy Technologies. It might be relevant in a broader sense but not a specific catalyst. Reason 2: News about Germany's climate efforts. This seems unrelated to Clean Energy Technologies (CETY), which is a U.S.-based company. Unless there's a specific mention of CETY in the German context, this is probably not relevant. Reason 3: Louisiana's hydrogen task force report. It's about clean hydrogen initiatives, but again, CETY's projects are in geothermal and battery storage. Unless there's a direct tie-in, this might not be the main driver here. Reason 4: This one is directly about Clean Energy Technologies Inc. (CETY) and its stock surge. It mentions a strategic collaboration with Qymera, entering AI and crypto energy solutions, and new modular power solutions. The article also discusses financials and potential future advancements. This looks like a key reason as it's directly about CETY's business moves and investor optimism. Reason 5: CETY secured a $10 million BESS project in New York. This is a direct business win, which would positively impact the stock price. The article mentions a 58.9% surge on Tuesday due to this deal, which aligns with the 12.93% after-hours increase mentioned in the input. However, the user's input shows a higher percentage (12.93%) which might be a cumulative or different time frame. Need to check if this is the same event. Wait, the user's input says the stock moved up 12.93% after hours. The news in Reason 5 mentions a 58.9% surge on Tuesday (same day, Nov 25, 2025). But the user's input is about after-hours trading. Maybe the 58.9% was during regular hours, and the after-hours increase is another event. However, the input's stock performance is after-hours, so perhaps the main driver is another event. Let me check Reason 4 again. Reason 4's content includes a 96.43% trading up, which is higher than the 12.93% mentioned. But the user's input is 12.93%. There might be a discrepancy here. However, the key point is that Reason 4 is about CETY's strategic collaborations and future advancements, which would fuel investor optimism. If the after-hours surge is due to these announcements, then Reason 4 is the main driver. But the user's input also lists Reason 5 as a separate event. The $10 million BESS project in New York was announced on Tuesday, causing a 58.9% surge. However, the user's stock performance is after-hours, which could be the same day. The input's percentage is 12.93%, which is lower than 58.9%, but maybe the after-hours increase is part of the same news. Alternatively, perhaps the 12.93% is the after-hours increase following the regular trading surge. The user's input might be combining multiple events, but according to the instructions, I need to identify the key news causing the move. Looking at the user's input, the stock movement is after-hours, so the most relevant news would be the one that caused the after-hours surge. If the BESS project in Reason 5 was announced during regular hours, the after-hours increase might be due to another event. However, Reason 4's content mentions a 96.43% increase, which is higher than the user's 12.93%, so maybe the user's input is a different time frame or a different event. Wait, the user's input says the stock moved up 12.93% after hours. The news in Reason 4 includes a strategic collaboration with Qymera and entering AI/crypto energy solutions. This could be the catalyst for the after-hours surge. Additionally, Reason 5's BESS project in New York is another positive news, but if the user's input is after-hours, perhaps the BE.
