Dear QuantumScape Stock Fans, Mark Your Calendars for July 23
Closeup of EV being charged by Solarseven via iStock In a dramatic return to center stage, QuantumScape (QS) has reignited Wall Street's interest ahead of its next earnings release. On July 18, the stock soared to a fresh 52-week high of $15.03, marking a 7.7% intraday gain. Shares have soared more than 215% in the last month, so all eyes will be on its second-quarter report after market close on Wednesday, July 23. More News from Barchart The initial catalyst that sparked its recent rally was the integration of its Cobra separator process into baseline cell production. News of this technical step forward prompted a 31% stock jump the very next day. Given that QuantumScape remains in a pre‑revenue phase, the breakthrough signals tangible momentum. As capital continues to pour in, the question becomes not whether the firm can deliver, but when revenue will begin to flow. Thus, Q2 results will be watched closely. About QuantumScape Stock QuantumScape, headquartered in San José, California, is building the future of electric vehicle power with its next‑generation solid‑state lithium‑metal batteries. At a market cap of $7 billion, the company counts big backers including Bill Gates and the Qatar Investment Authority, while Volkswagen (VWAGY) holds a material ownership stake. Over the past three months, QS has exploded 253%, and in the past month alone risen 220%. That premium shows in valuation. QS now trades at roughly 7.4 times its book value, a lofty level for a pre-revenue company. But with battery breakthroughs underway and investor capital backing its runway, many believe that traditional valuations give way to future potential. A Closer Look at QuantumScape's Q1 Earnings On April 23, QuantumScape unveiled its Q1 2025 earnings, which, despite its pre‑revenue status, carried encouraging developments. The company reported a net loss of $114.4 million, narrowing from $120 million in the year-ago period. Its adjusted EBITDA loss and operating losses both also narrowed year over year. At the end of Q1, QuantumScape reported $860 million in liquidity, giving it a runway well into the second half of 2028. For a pre-revenue company in a capital-intensive industry, this is a reassuring buffer. This will also allow the company to reach key milestones, including field testing set for 2026, without raising immediate funding.

Electric car move that could save Aussies $1,500 as 'one big snag' revealed
Got a new set of wheels on your mind? Well, you're not alone. Over a third of Australians (38.1 per cent) plan to make a new car purchase in the next three years, according to new research from Compare the Market. The majority (56.5 per cent) are looking to buy a petrol or diesel car. But motorists willing to try a hybrid or EV may be able save close to a grand or more each year by avoiding the petrol pump and taking advantage of green loan offers. RELATED Electric vehicle warning as BYD records biggest month of sales in Australia Common neighbour problem plaguing Aussie houses Major inflation change following RBA's shock interest rate decision Compare the Market publishes its Australian Car Ownership Index each year to help motorists understand the cost of purchasing and keeping a car on the road by analysing three popular car models. This year's research shows motorists could save almost $1,000 by choosing a Toyota RAV4 Hybrid over a petrol-only Mitsubishi Outlander. Australians who opt for the full electric BYD Sealion 7 could save nearly $1,500 per year when charged at home on the average single tariff electricity plan. These are big, long-term cost-of-living wins if you are looking for a new car, and these are just fuel cost savings. Some car loan lenders offer discounted interest rates for certain hybrid and electric vehicles. The savings on interest achieved through a better rate could add up to hundreds or thousands of dollars over time. With nearly a third of motorists (28.1 per cent) planning to purchase their next car through a car loan, this could be an important consideration. ICE vs HEV vs BEV ownership cost comparison Mitsubishi Outlander Exceed AWD (ICE) Toyota RAV4 Hybrid Cruiser 2WD (HEV) BYD Sealion 7 Premium (BEV) Purchase price (upfront) $57,050 drive-away $55,088 drive-away $56,780 drive-away Car loan repayment (five-year term) $13,147 $12,379 $12,722 Annual servicing (average of first five visits) $340.00 $270.00 $351.40 Fuel/charging $2,247.75 $1,304.25 $778.08 Comprehensive car insurance (average) $1,827.10 $1,978.27 $1,840.25 Registration and CTP (QLD) $708.35 $708.35 $646.70 Total cost per year $18,270.40 $16,640.07 $16,338.83 Owning a car can be expensive, but choosing a more fuel-efficient hybrid or full electric model can help to significantly reduce some costs. With new brands delivering greater choice and supply of hybrids, I think more motorists will be looking to green vehicles as a cost-effective next-car option. Not only do EV owners save on petrol, they may also be eligible to take advantage of green loan offers from banks that can help reduce repayments and save on interest. Regular loan rates and green loan interest rates could vary as much as 2.5 per cent. If you're looking at a novated lease, eligible employees and business owners can take advantage of the government's fringe benefits tax exemption for select electric cars – which could mean saving hundreds in your back pocket. But there's one big snag all owners do need to look out for, and that's insurance. We found a difference of thousands of dollars between premiums for all three car models. Be sure to always shop around for a better deal — whether it's for fuel, electricity or car insurance. Don't park yourself into higher prices.

Meta has ended its bonus program on Threads
It's still trying to lure new users, but it's done paying anyone to post. Meta is no longer paying creators to post on Threads. The company quietly ended the Threads bonus program, which offered some creators thousands of dollars a month in bonuses, earlier this year, Engadget has confirmed. The company hasn't officially commented on why it stopped the payments, but an Instagram support page that once listed details about the creator incentives no longer references Threads at all. In posts on Threads, creators who were once part of the program have said they stopped receiving payments around the end of April. That's roughly one year after Meta first started paying creators for popular posts. Though Meta never publicly shared a lot of details about how the program worked, creators who previously spoke with Engadget reported that they were able to earn monthly bonuses ranging from $500 to $5,000 in exchange for hitting specific metrics around post counts and views. It's not clear what Meta's strategy for creators on Threads is going forward. The company is still trying to lure more brands and notable faces to the platform, and has tested features to help people find popular creators they previously followed on X. Meta has also added creator-friendly tools, like the ability to add more links to profiles and more detailed analytics for the app. ADVERTISEMENT Advertisement But Meta has yet to clearly explain what it can offer creators in return. The platform is hardly driving any traffic to outside websites. It's also much harder to build a following on Threads, since the platform defaults to an algorithmic timeline consisting mainly of recommended content. This means that it's easier for a post from an unknown account to go viral, but viral posts rarely lead to an influx of new followers. Meta may simply be calculating that Threads already has enough momentum without paying people for viral content. At the same time, Mark Zuckerberg has repeatedly said he believes the app can be Meta's next billion-user platform. It's difficult to see how that happens without the buy-in of creators. Have a tip for Karissa? You can reach her by email, on X, Bluesky, Threads, or send a message to @karissabe.51 to chat confidentially on Signal.
