Sentiment: Positive

QuantumScape remains a speculative play, but its advancements on milestones and robust cash reserves support my continued buy rating. Successful integration of next-gen Cobra separator boosts production efficiency, positioning QS for future solid-state battery demand and OEM interest. Strong financials, asset-light model, and Volkswagen partnership ensure sustainability, with a cash runway of up to 32 months including new funding.

QuantumScape: Great Tech, High Risk
QS

Recent manufacturing advances (Cobra process) and expanded OEM partnerships, especially with Volkswagen, extend the cash runway and support future royalty-based revenue.

QuantumScape: Less Likely To Sell Off After Q2 Earnings
QS
Published: July 22, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Negative

I see the 22% drop from the all time highs last Friday as a favorable factor going into Q2 earnings, considering the triple digit rally in less than a month. The focus during the Q2 season will likely be on the production roadmap, particularly on the status of the QSE-5B1 sampling for PowerCo's field validation tests in 2026. Management guided a full year adjusted EBITDA loss between $250M - $280M. Any downward revision is a risk for the stock.
