What Moved the Stock Before the Opening Bell (up USD 0.1200, 13.64%)

Clean Energy Technologies (NASDAQ:CETY) was up 13.64% to USD 1.00 in pre-market trading on November 3, 2026, compared with the November 2, 2026 close. The implied prior close is about USD 0.88 (calculated from the screen price and percentage move).

No press release or filing dated October 30 to November 3, 2026 was identified, so the move has no confirmed catalyst. Low share price, thin extended-hours Volume and short-term trading momentum are possible factors, though that is an observation and not a stated cause. This is a penny stock, so volatility, limited Liquidity and dilution risk are all elevated.

The Recent Financing

In a regulatory filing made public on October 21, 2026, the company disclosed an 8% convertible note with a principal amount of USD 500,000, issued to Falcon Venture Limited under a securities purchase agreement dated October 18, 2026. The note matures on October 18, 2027, and the company said the funds were already received.

The holder may begin converting six months after issuance at 85% of the lowest traded price over the 10 trading days before conversion. Conversion is limited to 9.99% beneficial ownership, and absent Shareholder approval, total shares issued on conversion are capped at 2,432,004. Proceeds are earmarked for Business development and company obligations.

Business Background

Clean Energy Technologies is an Irvine, California company founded in 1993 that develops energy efficiency and renewable energy products. Its offerings include a generator that converts waste heat into electricity, and waste-to-energy systems producing electricity, renewable natural gas, hydrogen and biochar. It also supplies Natural Gas to industrial and municipal customers in parts of Sichuan and Yunnan provinces in China.

Balance Sheet and Listing Risks

On May 26, 2026, the company disclosed a Nasdaq notice that it had not filed its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. The notice did not immediately affect trading, but failure to regain compliance could lead to delisting. Whether the filing has since been made was not confirmed in the sources reviewed.

Discount-priced convertible notes can dilute existing holders when converted, and the share price sits near the USD 1.00 level that Nasdaq uses as a reference in its minimum bid price rules.

What to Watch Next

Items to monitor include any filing that addresses the Nasdaq deficiency, additional financing disclosures, updates on the Vermont renewable gas project, and the next quarterly report.
