WF International shares surge 20.69% after-hours after securing Hitachi HVAC distributorship in China.

Wf International surged 20.69% in after-hours trading following the announcement of securing a one-year distributorship with Hitachi for inverter-driven multi-split HVAC systems in China. The partnership expands the company’s product portfolio with energy-efficient solutions, aligning with growing demand for smart building technologies. This strategic collaboration strengthens WF International’s positioning in the HVAC market and underscores its commitment to delivering advanced electromechanical systems. While the company also priced a $3.44 million follow-on public offering at a discount, the immediate positive reaction was driven by the Hitachi news, which highlights growth potential in high-margin, low-carbon solutions. The offering’s impact on investor sentiment appears secondary to the partnership’s perceived strategic value.
