QuantumScape

QuantumScape is organizing dedicated business units for EV, AI and other markets and has partnerships with Volkswagen and Honda validating its solid-state battery technology. Management says scalable mass production is a substantial challenge and does not expect commercialization until at least 2029. The company has over $800 million in cash but projects substantial EBITDA losses in 2026 and may need additional funding, making the stock a high-risk speculative investment. » Mere på finance.yahoo.com
