Yesterday, Cleantek Industries (CTEK:TSXV, GLKFF:OTCPK) reported its Q4 and 2025 financial results that were mixed relative to our expectations. Nonetheless, the quarter represented consistent growth, led by the equipment sales segment. We remain bullish on CTEK as it enters a catalyst-filled 2026, where the growth will accelerate. Please refer to our initiation report on the Company here. We are maintaining our BUY rating and $1.10/share target price on CTEK.
