Dividend Power Score
A single, comprehensive score designed to measure the true strength of a company’s dividend.
This score combines three essential pillars of dividend quality:
Consistency – Measures how reliable the dividend has been over time, focusing on payment history, stability, and the absence of cuts or suspensions.
Payability – Assesses the company’s financial ability to sustain its dividend, taking into account cash flow, earnings coverage, balance sheet strength, and overall financial health.
Growth – Evaluates the long-term growth of both the dividend and the company’s share price, highlighting businesses that consistently increase payouts while creating shareholder value.
Higher scores identify companies that have historically delivered dependable income alongside sustained dividend growth and long-term capital appreciation.
Company Overview
NanoXplore Inc. is a Canadian advanced materials company specializing in the production and commercialization of graphene and graphene‑enhanced materials. The company operates at the intersection of the advanced materials, chemicals, and industrial manufacturing industries, supplying graphene solutions that enhance the mechanical, electrical, thermal, and barrier properties of plastics and composites. Its primary revenue drivers are the sale of graphene powder and the development of graphene‑enhanced plastic and composite products for industrial customers.
The company serves customers across automotive, packaging, electronics, industrial, and consumer goods markets, with a strategic focus on high‑volume, cost‑sensitive applications where graphene can replace or outperform traditional additives. NanoXplore positions itself as a vertically integrated, large‑scale graphene producer with proprietary manufacturing technology, enabling consistent quality and commercial‑scale supply. Founded in 2011, the company transitioned from research‑focused graphene development to industrial‑scale manufacturing, becoming one of the world’s largest graphene powder producers and listing publicly in Canada in 2017.
Business Operations
NanoXplore generates revenue primarily through two core business activities: the production and sale of graphene powder and the formulation of graphene‑enhanced plastics and composite materials. These activities are organized around Graphene Materials and Graphene‑Enhanced Products, with manufacturing capabilities designed to support large‑volume industrial customers. The company supplies graphene both as a standalone material and as part of customized polymer masterbatches tailored to specific customer applications.
Operations span domestic and international markets, with production facilities in Canada and Europe. NanoXplore controls proprietary graphene production technology and application know‑how, which it integrates into customer product development processes. A notable subsidiary is Applied Graphene Materials, a UK‑based graphene company acquired to expand NanoXplore’s European footprint and application development capabilities. The company also collaborates with industrial partners and customers to co‑develop graphene‑enabled solutions for commercial deployment.
Strategic Position & Investments
NanoXplore’s strategy centers on scaling graphene adoption in mass‑market applications by lowering cost, improving manufacturability, and embedding graphene into existing industrial processes. Growth initiatives include expanding production capacity, deepening penetration in the automotive and packaging sectors, and advancing next‑generation materials for energy storage applications. The company has emphasized long‑term supply agreements and customer integration as a pathway to stable, recurring revenue.
A key strategic investment is VoltaXplore, a subsidiary focused on developing battery‑grade graphite and graphene‑based anode materials for lithium‑ion batteries, aligning the company with the growing electric vehicle and energy storage markets. The acquisition of Applied Graphene Materials also represents a strategic move to strengthen intellectual property, application development expertise, and European customer access. Emerging areas of focus include sustainable materials, lightweighting solutions, and electrification‑driven demand for advanced carbon materials.
Geographic Footprint
NanoXplore is headquartered in Canada, with its principal corporate and manufacturing operations located in Québec. The company maintains a strong presence in North America, serving customers across Canada and the United States, particularly in the automotive and industrial manufacturing corridors.
Internationally, NanoXplore has expanded its footprint in Europe, supported by operations and technical centers in the United Kingdom through Applied Graphene Materials. This geographic diversification enables the company to serve multinational customers, participate in European research and industrial programs, and support global commercialization of graphene‑enhanced products.
Leadership & Governance
NanoXplore was founded by Soroush Nazarpour, who has led the company since inception and shaped its transition from early‑stage graphene research to large‑scale industrial commercialization. The leadership team emphasizes vertical integration, cost leadership, and close collaboration with customers to drive adoption of graphene in real‑world applications. Governance is structured around a publicly listed Canadian corporation, with oversight aligned to long‑term shareholder value creation and technology commercialization.
