CN Energy shares rise 12.0% premarket after subsidiary Pathenbot secures New York logistics automation contract.

CN Energy Group Inc. (CNEY) surged 12% in premarket trading following the announcement that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Pathenbot, secured an equipment sales agreement with a New York-based warehousing and logistics enterprise. The deal, effective February 6, 2026, involves delivering customized automation equipment—including electric printing and labeling machines—to enhance the client’s sorting and packaging workflows. This marks Pathenbot’s expansion into the U.S. East Coast market and underscores the company’s ability to meet demand for supply chain automation. The agreement aligns with CNEY’s strategic focus on robotics and automation solutions, reinforcing investor confidence in its growth trajectory. Earlier news of a proposed $2 million acquisition of Blessing Logistics (announced January 29) and a prior delisting warning (January 26) were not directly linked to the premarket rally, as the recent Pathenbot deal provided the immediate catalyst.
