QuantumScape (QS, $27.34) posts wider-than-expected loss for Q1

Electric-vehicle-battery maker QuantumScape Corp.  posted first-quarter results that fell short of analysts’ expectations.  

The company incurred a net loss of -20 cents a share, much wider than the -7 cents a share loss expected by analysts polled by FactSet. The loss was -6 cents a share in the year-earlier quarter.

In a letter to investors, QuantumScape said it met a contractual milestone with Volkswagen AG and delivered battery cells for further testing at the car maker, leading to an additional $100 million investment from Volkswagen into QuantumScape in April.

QuantumScape expects to enter 2022 with greater than $1.3 billion in liquidity, reflecting a net increase of more than $300M compared to its liquidity entering the year.

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 tend to fit the specifications of a particular model, and their compatibility is often guaranteed by the automaker itself. 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.

AtlasClear Holdings (ATCH) shares fell roughly 25.5% over the last 30 days, declining from $0.1881 on October 2 to $0.1401 on October 30.

The central target of $1,620 is the arithmetic mean of verified, current analyst price targets, rounded to a clean level; it is not a single firm's forecast or a guarantee. At a recent price of about $690 , reaching $1,620 would require a gain of roughly 135% , a very large move by any standard.
