After 13 years, QuantumScape Co. NYSE: QS is getting closer to the launch of its first commercial solid-state lithium-metal (SSLM) battery. Its announcement of the extended production agreement with Volkswagen AG (OTCMKTS: VWAGY) subsidiary PowerCo sent shares rocketing over 40% up to $9.52 on July 17, 2024.
QuantumScape's Alpha-2 prototype delivery marks significant progress towards commercialization of solid-state batteries, potentially revolutionizing the EV industry. Strategic partnership with PowerCo enhances production capabilities and provides a capital-efficient path to market, extending cash runway to 2028. Improved sales forecasts and technology advancements justify a 'Buy' rating, with a target price range of $6.8-$8 by 2028.
It's made amazing progress. But it's still not making batteries to sell.
QuantumScape is developing battery technology for EVs that could extend their range significantly. The stock has fallen 95% from its peak, and the business has yet to generate revenue.
QuantumScape's new agreement should give it enough cash to get into 2028. Only about 13% of global light vehicle sales have gone electric, so the market remains huge.
QuantumScape's solid-state battery would solve numerous EV challenges. QS' battery technology eliminates anode materials and manufacturing costs.
New data on Thursday suggests that the U.S. economy is slowing. QuantumScape and other EV-related stocks are down on recession fears -- but there are reasons to think the battery startup might ride a recession out.
