This 424B5 filing finalizes the terms and pricing of the common stock offering, following a preliminary prospectus supplement filed on February 18, 2026. Energy Services of America Corporation is raising approximately $20.01 million by selling 1.74 million shares at $11.50 per share. This offering price represents a significant discount of about 18.8% compared to the last reported sale price of $14.17 on February 17, 2026. The transaction will result in approximately 10.45% dilution for existing shareholders. While the capital raise provides funds for general corporate purposes, working capital, and potential acquisitions, the substantial discount and dilution could be viewed negatively by the market, despite the company reporting strong Q1 2026 earnings on February 9, 2026. This capital infusion may be crucial for addressing the "significant financial downturn" in net income highlighted in the January 12, 2026 proxy statement, providing necessary liquidity for strategic initiatives.
