Should You Buy QuantumScape Stock While It's Below $7?
QuantumScape's stock price has more than doubled from its 52-week low. Its new Cobra process could lead to the commercialization of its batteries. It's a speculative stock -- but it might have a lot of upside potential. 10 stocks we like better than QuantumScape › QuantumScape (NYSE: QS), a developer of solid-state batteries, took its investors on a wild ride over the past year. Its stock reached a 52-week high of $9.52 per share on July 17, 2024, but sank 64% to a 52-week low of $3.40 on April 8, 2025. It then nearly doubled to its current price of $6.72 (as of this writing) over the following three months. QuantumScape's stock is so volatile because it hasn't commercialized any of its batteries or generated any revenue yet. The bulls expect its sales to soar once its batteries hit the market, but the bears don't think its business model is sustainable. Wall Street's analysts are just as divided. Of the nine analysts who cover QuantumScape's stock, six rate it as a hold, one rates it as a buy, and two rate it as a sell. Its price targets range from $2.50 to $8. We should take those estimates with a grain of salt, but should you buy QuantumScape as it approaches those top price targets? QuantumScape's solid-state lithium metal batteries run on solid electrolytes instead of the liquid electrolytes used in lithium-ion batteries. That difference gives them better thermal resistance, shorter charging times, and higher charging capacities, but they're also more difficult and expensive to manufacture. That's why solid-state batteries are still mainly used in smaller devices like wearables, pacemakers, and Internet of Things (IoT) gadgets instead of consumer electronics or electric vehicles (EVs). But over the past decade, QuantumScape has been working with its top investor, Volkswagen (OTC: VWAP.Y), to commercialize its solid-state batteries for EVs. QuantumScape's first QSE-5 battery has an energy density of over 800 Wh/L (watt hours per liter) and can be fast charged from 10% to 80% in under 15 minutes. For reference, the lithium-ion batteries used in most EVs only have an average density of 300-700 Wh/L with an average fast charging time of 20 minutes to an hour. Last year, Volkswagen's road tests (through its PowerCo division) found that its QSE-5 batteries retained over 95% of their energy capacity after 1,000 charging cycles, compared to the industry standard for an 80% capacity after 700 charging cycles. Therefore, an EV using QSE-5 could drive over 300,000 miles without any noticeable loss in range. That technology sounds impressive, but many other companies -- including automakers like Toyota Motor (NYSE: TM) and other start-ups like Blue Solutions -- are developing similar solid-state batteries. If those competitors commercialize their batteries first, QuantumScape could become irrelevant before it even scales up its business. Before QuantumScape went public by merging with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) in late 2020, it claimed it could commercialize its first batteries by 2024. But as of this writing, it doesn't expect that to happen until 2026. QuantumScape's biggest near-term catalyst will be its transition from its older Raptor ceramic separator process to its newer Cobra process. Cobra will provide a 25-fold upgrade to its heat treatment speed while only occupying a "fraction" of its physical space per film start. That upgrade should boost its equipment productivity, cell reliability, and overall yields, which should pave the way toward its first field tests and commercial shipments in 2026. To accelerate its transition from Raptor to Cobra, it partnered with Murata this April to ramp up its production of the ceramic film used in its separators. On June 24, QuantumScape's stock soared 35% after it announced that its Cobra process had started its baseline production for higher-volume QSE-5 samples. CEO Siva Sivaram said that milestone gave it a "powerful path forward for commercializing" its solid-state batteries. QuantumScape doesn't plan to mass-produce its own batteries. Instead, it will license its technology to automakers and dedicated battery makers like PowerCo. By generating higher-margin licensing fees and royalties through that capital-light model, it aims to gradually narrow its net losses. In 2026, analysts expect QuantumScape to generate $4.5 million in revenue with a net loss of $429.9 million as it commercializes its first batteries. In 2027, they expect its revenue to surge to $60.1 million as it narrows its net loss to $370.9 million. Its market cap of $3.7 billion might seem frothy, but its core market could grow a lot larger over the next decade. With $860.3 million in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities in its latest quarter, QuantumScape won't go bankrupt anytime soon. That easily offsets its $150.3 million in total liabilities (including $93.5 million in total debt), but it's also increased its number of shares by over 60% with its secondary offerings and stock-based compensation since its public debut. That dilution could continue for the foreseeable future. QuantumScape will remain a volatile stock until the company generates stable revenue. It shouldn't be a core holding in your portfolio, but it might still be worth nibbling on at these levels if you expect it to become a major player in the nascent solid-state battery market.

Click here to get on the newsletter list! T he GOP Budget bill and its impact on everyday Americans is dominating headlines—and we have some news about it in the ICYMI section below—but we begin this week's newsletter with a bit of counter-programming… We at Forbes have been tracking the growth of women's sports over the last several years—and it seems that this week has been a busier one than most for this particular sector. Here's just a sampling of what's been buzzing over the last few days: Cheers! Maggie McGrath Exclusive Forbes News: Investor Carolina Brochado Tapped To Lead Venture Arm Of $315 Billion Buyout Fund EQT Carolina Brochado Carolina Brochado Swedish buyout fund giant EQT is shaking up its venture arm as it prepares to increase its investments in American startups. The $315 billion asset manager has promoted investor Carolina Brochado to head up venture and growth investments from a new outpost in New York. In her new role, Brochado will oversee EQT's early and late stage investments both, with a particular focus on venture stage companies in the U.S. 'We want to have a larger presence in the world's deepest technology market,' said Brochado. ICYMI: News Of The Week The GOP budget bill narrowly passed the Senate and on Thursday morning inched to a final vote in the House. (Editor's note: As of 11:30am ET Thursday, House minority leader Hakeem Jefferies was more than six hours into a marathon speech lambasting the bill and delaying the vote.) On Wednesday, Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D, FL-25) spoke to ForbesWomen editor Maggie McGrath about how the bill's cuts to Medicaid and SNAP will actively harm and, in her view, even kill people. In news that broke mere minutes after last week's ForbesWomen weekly went out: Anna Wintour, the longtime Vogue editor-in-chief, announced that she is stepping down after four decades at the helm of the influential fashion magazine. She will remain Condé Nast's chief content officer, but the moment offers an opportunity to reflect on her legacy—which includes championing designers like Christian Lacroix, Michael Kors and Giorgio Armani. The Supreme Court announced Thursday it will take up multiple cases concerning state bans on transgender women in sports, teeing up a potential landmark ruling on transgender rights as the issue has become an increasing source of political controversy. This comes just days after the University of Pennsylvania came to an agreement with the Trump administration that will strip transgender swimmer Lia Thomas of her titles and recognitions and ban trans athletes from women's sports after the administration alleged the school violated Title IX provisions (a charge that Penn denies). Forbes recently released its list of America's Best-In-State Lawyers for 2025, and Forbes senior editor Liane Jackson has an inside look at how one of those lawyers, Stacey Grigsby, went from an early job at the Department of Justice to becoming one of the nation's top business litigators. The Checklist 1. Avoid the small business debt trap. 'Buy now, pay later' schemes offer aspiring side-gig hustlers and small business owners a way to fund their entrepreneurial dreams—but it's important to understand the long-term costs of the debt you may be taking on. 2. Understand how to generate income on Substack. For women exploring alternative income streams, platforms like Substack offer a powerful opportunity to turn ideas, insights and storytelling into sustainable revenue. Here's what you need to know. 3. Learn to be misunderstood.
