1. eLong Power Holding Ltd (NASDAQ:ELPW)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders In Q4 2024: 1

eLong Power Holding Ltd (NASDAQ:ELPW) develops and manufactures high-power lithium-ion batteries for commercial vehicles and energy storage, with operations based in China.

The stock is up significantly so far in 2025 as the company received Nasdaq staff determination notices in late March regarding non-compliance with minimum market value and bid price requirements, which paradoxically drew speculative interest as traders bet on a potential compliance recovery and short squeeze.

The stock’s biggest moves occurred between April 14 and April 17, when ELPW jumped due to retail momentum and technical breakouts on high volume.

There was no major operational news or earnings release during this period, but the stock’s extreme volatility and low float made it a target for speculative trading.

The completion of the company’s business combination with TMT Acquisition Corp in November 2024 laid the groundwork for its public listing, but the 2025 rally was almost entirely a function of market mechanics.

ELPW stock is up 194.32% year-to-date.
