Why QuantumScape Popped 29% During the First Half of 2025

QuantumScape has installed the Cobra process as its new manufacturing baseline. Cobra will demonstrate the company's ability to produce cells at a near-commercial pace. QuantumScape's partnership with Volkswagen subsidiary PowerCo will be instrumental in its plan to progress toward commercial production scales -- and revenue. 10 stocks we like better than QuantumScape › When looking at the risk vs. reward balance, QuantumScape (NYSE: QS) might offer the wildest range of any company out there. QuantumScape is hard at work developing its technology for solid-state batteries -- a type of battery that no company has produced at commercial scale for the electric vehicle (EV) market yet. If it succeeds, it will be a game-changing breakthrough for EVs, but for now, the company lacks not only profits, but any commercial revenue at all. That should change in time, but what should matter to investors is that QuantumScape is installing all of its new equipment for new processes to reach commercial production volume. And on that front, QuantumScape is making sound progress. In late June, the company announced a major milestone in its scale-up effort: the successful integration of its Cobra separator process into baseline cell production. Cobra is its next step toward commercialization, and the process enables faster and more energy-efficient production. QuantumScape noted that the process treats key battery cell components 25 times faster than earlier processes, and with a fraction of the equipment and operational footprint. The Cobra process will replace the company's previous process, dubbed Raptor, which was used for sample cells and B0 cell production. Essentially, part of this development is demonstrating that QuantumScape's improved manufacturing process will work on a fast-paced assembly line. "Cobra is a step-change innovation in ceramic processing, enabling a major improvement in productivity compared to Raptor -- which was already a considerable advancement compared to the previous generation," said QuantumScape co-founder and Chief Technology Officer Tim Holme in a press release. "This advancement is central to bringing our high-performance solid-state battery platform to market at gigawatt scale." The announcement of that milestone was almost solely responsible for the company's 29% surge during the first half of 2025, but where is QuantumScape likely to go during the second half? While QuantumScape works on newer iterations of Cobra to inch closer to commercialization of its solid-state batteries, the next step for the company is already in the works. But to put that in context, we have to rewind to almost exactly one year ago, when it announced a partnership with Volkswagen Group's battery company, PowerCo. Essentially, that partnership deal says that after the battery start-up makes satisfactory technical progress, then -- in exchange for royalty payments -- QuantumScape will grant PowerCo a license to mass-produce battery cells for EVs based on its technology. The deal will combine QuantumScape's technical innovations with PowerCo's extensive and high-quality production operations. QuantumScape's next goal is to begin shipping QSE-5 B1 samples, and it remains on track to do so. Those are the cells it will use to show how its tech works in real-world applications, and the B1 version is expected to be distributed for the testing phase of its launch program next year. QuantumScape stock is not an investment for the faint of heart. Anyone who buys it has to accept the considerable level of risk that comes with a company that is years away from generating revenue through the commercial manufacture of its core products. That said, QuantumScape has slowly but surely progressed, implementing each new process and hitting each new milestone on schedule. As the company continues on its quest to manufacture the "holy grail" of EV batteries, we can expect the hype train to chug forward every time it improves its Cobra process significantly.

Omnicom Group (OMC) Q2 Earnings: What To Expect

Global advertising giant Omnicom Group (NYSE:OMC) will be announcing earnings results this Tuesday afternoon. Here's what to look for. Omnicom Group missed analysts' revenue expectations by 0.6% last quarter, reporting revenues of $3.69 billion, up 1.6% year on year. It was a mixed quarter for the company, with a decent beat of analysts' EPS estimates but organic revenue in line with analysts' estimates. Is Omnicom Group a buy or sell going into earnings? Read our full analysis here, it's free. This quarter, analysts are expecting Omnicom Group's revenue to grow 2.9% year on year to $3.97 billion, slowing from the 6.8% increase it recorded in the same quarter last year. Adjusted earnings are expected to come in at $2.03 per share. Analysts covering the company have generally reconfirmed their estimates over the last 30 days, suggesting they anticipate the business to stay the course heading into earnings. Omnicom Group has missed Wall Street's revenue estimates twice over the last two years. With Omnicom Group being the first among its peers to report earnings this season, we don't have anywhere else to look to get a hint at how this quarter will unravel for media & entertainment stocks. However, there has been positive investor sentiment in the segment, with share prices up 3.9% on average over the last month. Omnicom Group is up 4% during the same time and is heading into earnings with an average analyst price target of $99.51 (compared to the current share price of $73.50). When a company has more cash than it knows what to do with, buying back its own shares can make a lot of sense–as long as the price is right. Luckily, we've found one, a low-priced stock that is gushing free cash flow AND buying back shares.
