In the dynamic world of stock trading, a comparative analysis of different stocks is pivotal for making informed decisions. In this light, we compare two particular stocks — FCEL (FuelCell Energy Inc.) and QS (QuantumScape Corporation). Both these stocks are representatives of their respective industries, Electrical Products, and Auto Parts: OEM.

Performance of Medium Volatility Stocks vs High Volatility Stocks

FCEL, identified as a medium volatility stock, has shown a return of 18.69% for day traders employing both technical and fundamental analysis (TA&FA). On the other hand, QS, as a high-volatility stock, has offered a return of 23.91% for swing traders using technical analysis (TA). Although high-volatility stocks like QS can offer larger returns, which might not be suitable for all investors.

Weekly Price Growth

Upcoming Earnings Reports

Looking forward, investors must consider the upcoming earnings reports of both stocks. FCEL is expected to report earnings on September 7, 2023, and QS on July 26, 2023. These dates can potentially serve as catalysts for price movements.

While both FCEL and QS faced price declines this week, it's critical for investors to align their choice with their risk tolerance, trading strategy, and broader industry performance. The analysis of past performance, while useful, is not a sure indicator of future results, and upcoming earnings reports could bring new dynamics into play.

Industry description

OEM or Original Equipment Manufacturer of auto parts refers to the original producer of a vehicles components, and so OEM car parts are usually identical to the parts used in producing the vehicle in the first place.

OEM parts could be more expensive to buy (compared to other vendors’ products) when a consumer goes for replacement. However, increased competition from aftermarket parts/third-party vendors could, in some cases, keep EOM prices in check. The industry might progress further in adopting newer technologies like 3D printing to boost supply chain performance and quality. Aptiv PLC, Magna International Inc. and BorgWarner Inc. are major OEMs for autos.
