This Small Cap’s Rolodex is Getting Interesting

September 08, 2025

Disseminated on behalf of PowerBank Corporation.

(NASDAQ: SUUN) (CBOE CA: SUNN.NE)

$200 Million in Deals. A $2 Stock.

Dear Reader, 

When I see a small-cap quietly stacking deals with billion-dollar partners, I pay attention.

Most investors will never look past the ticker price. 

But the ones who dig deeper see something else:

Who’s willing to write the checks, sign the contracts, and put their name on the line.

If big players are putting money and reputation behind a company, it means the homework’s already been done. 

For you as an investor, that’s the real signal. 

It means the risk/reward equation tilts in your favor.

You may not have heard of PowerBank Corporation (SUUN) - I first mentioned them a few days ago - but look who they’re working with:

First, there’s Honeywell.

They’re already tied to PowerBank through a $41 million, 21 MW community solar deal.

What does 21 megawatts mean in the real world?

Enough clean power to support more than 2,400 homes every year - and every watt is designed to spin off revenue once the projects go live.

Or look at Qcells - one of the world’s leading solar manufacturers. In fact, Qcells and Microsoft Corp. are partnering whereby Qcells will supply Microsoft with 12 gigawatts (GW) of solar modules and EPC services over an 8 year period – the equivalent to powering more than 1.8 million homes annually.

Qcells has committed nearly $50 million to acquire and have PowerBank build them out four new projects in New York, using U.S. made panels.

That means PowerBank Corporation (SUUN) doesn’t just cash a one-time check…

They stay in the game with engineering, construction, and long-term maintenance contracts.

And that’s not all.

Two more heavyweight partners…

One a $60 billion global infrastructure investor…

And a blue-chip bank that just structured a C$25.8 million loan for PowerBank’s first battery storage projects…

Have financing deals to back this company’s growth.

I’ll share more about those relationships soon - and why I believe they could be just as important for PowerBank’s future as Honeywell and Qcells.

These moves alone could accelerate PowerBank’s transition from a small-cap developer into a serious Independent Power Producer…

That’s the kind of model that Wall Street has historically valued at a premium compared to “flip-and-sell” solar developers.

The middle class thinks success is about doing it all alone.

The rich know the real shortcut: partnerships.

You don’t have to build the entire system if you own the right piece - and you align with the right players.

They’re developing over 1 gigawatt of projects across North America - enough to power nearly three-quarters of a million homes.

And they’re expanding into battery storage - a market forecast to grow into the hundreds of billions over the next decade.

For investors, that means this small-cap isn’t just dabbling in a niche.

They’re positioning at the very center of the energy transition - a shift that touches everything from AI data centers to the cars on our roads.

That’s why I’m keeping PowerBank Corporation (NASDAQ: SUUN | CBOE CA: SUNN) on my shortlist.

The market may still treat them like a $2 stock…

But the caliber of their partners…

The size of their pipeline…

And the scale of the markets they’re stepping into…

Suggest a company with ambitions far larger than its current share price reflects.

To your financial freedom,

Kiyosaki Research

P.S.  Honeywell. Qcells. And two more billion-dollar partners I’ll name soon. That’s over $200 million in deals announced. 

Most investors have no idea this is happening - which is why I believe SUUN deserves a closer look now, before the story spreads.
