Dear QuantumScape Stock Fans, Mark Your Calendars for July 23
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.

Sutter Health names new chief operating officer
This story was originally published on Healthcare Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Healthcare Dive newsletter. Name: Kevin Manemann Previous title: Executive vice president and chief integration officer, City of Hope New title: Chief operating officer, Sutter Health Manemann, an executive with more than two decades of leadership experience in large health systems, will be Sutter Health's next chief operating officer, the Sacramento, California-based system announced Tuesday. He'll be filling a role that's sat vacant since March, when previous COO Mark Sevco left Sutter to become the CEO of Pittsburgh-based Alleghany Health Network. Manemann, who assumes his new role on Sept. 15, was formerly an executive at Southern California-based City of Hope, a $6 billion cancer care system. Prior to that, Manemann held several leadership roles at Providence St. Joseph Health, the third-largest nonprofit health system in the U.S. — including leading a $10 billion division overseeing Northern and Southern California. Manemann was at Providence for more than 16 years, according to his LinkedIn. Manemann's selection as COO is the latest in a string of executive appointments for Sutter. The system named a new chief financial officer in May, a new chief scientific officer and chief nurse officer in January, and a new senior vice president of population health in December. At Sutter, Manemann will work closely with the system's chief physician executive to co-lead clinical and nonclinical operations, according to the release. Manemann's specific purview includes Sutter's operating structure, service lines, ambulatory surgery centers, nursing and home care. One of his priorities will be to support Sutter's ambulatory growth plans, the release said. The system, already a powerhouse in Northern California with more than two dozen hospitals, has been steadily snapping up more of the region's care delivery market, adding roughly 1,000 doctors and advanced practice clinicians in 2024. Sutter also opened or expanded a number of care centers last year, while announcing other capital projects, including an advanced neurological and neurosurgical care complex and a comprehensive cancer center. The system is also pursuing growth through a joint venture with SCAN Health Plan to offer new Medicare Advantage products next year, and a deal with GE Healthcare to integrate artificial intelligence into its operations. Amid these initiatives, Sutter's finances have remained relatively stable compared to some of its nonprofit peers, according to ratings agencies. Still, the system hasn't been immune to pressures hitting hospitals, including rising costs of labor and medical supplies. Sutter reported $142 million in operating income in 2024, down from $320 million the year prior. Though, hefty investment income in both years hiked Sutter's profits to $1 billion and $1.2 billion in 2024 and 2023, respectively. Sutter is also dealing with other operational challenges facing providers, including contract spats with major insurers. Sutter also been hit with multimillion-dollar settlements this year to settle legal actions over alleged anticompetitive behavior, retirement plan mismanagement and fraudulent billing for anesthesia services.

iOS 26 Public Beta Is Here: Download Apple's Liquid Glass Update Today
If you've been itching to poke around Apple's next big iPhone update, today's your day. Apple just opened the first iOS 26 public beta (July 23) to anyone in its free Beta Software Program, letting everyday users try the new OS months before it ships alongside the iPhone 17 this fall. The public beta follows six weeks of dev-only releases, capped yesterday with developer beta 4. iOS 26 is Apple's most ambitious revamp in years. The entire interface now shimmers with Liquid Glass, a translucent layer that morphs as you scroll, and an updated Apple Intelligence powers live call translation and a souped-up Visual Intelligence search. You'll also see other perks like call screening and personalized text message chats. Before you download, double-check your hardware: iOS 26 needs at least an A13 Bionic chip, so only the iPhone 11 model and newer qualify. Apple Intelligence features stay exclusive to the iPhone 16 line and iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max. Also remember that it's still beta software. Expect bugs, battery dips and the occasional app crash. You should definitely back up your phone first (better yet, create an archive on your computer), consider installing on a spare device and keep your computer nearby in case you need to roll back to iOS 18. If that sounds good, here's how to install the iOS 26 public beta. Don't miss: Revert Back to iOS 18 From iOS 26 Beta: The No-Stress, Step-by-Step Guide How to download the iOS 26 public beta on your iPhone As long as you know the risks and have backed up your phone, you can download the iOS 26 public beta. Here's what you need to do: 1. Enroll in Apple's Beta Software Program On the iPhone you want to update, open Safari and visit Sign in with your Apple ID. If you're new to the program, tap Sign Up and follow the prompts to accept Apple's beta agreement. 2. Sign up for the iOS 26 public beta After signing in, choose iOS at the top of the page. You'll land on a dashboard with details about the iOS 26 public beta. Under Get Started, tap Enroll your iOS device. Because Apple now handles betas directly in Settings (no more configuration profiles), all you need to do is link your Apple ID and you're good to go. 3. Enable beta updates On your iPhone, go to Settings > General > Software Update > Beta Updates. Choose iOS 26 Public Beta from the list. 4. Download and install iOS 26 beta Now, return to Settings > General > Software Update. The iOS 26 public beta should appear. Tap Download and Install and follow the on-screen instructions. Keep your phone on Wi-Fi and plugged in during the update. Once your iPhone reboots, you'll be running the latest iOS 26 public beta—complete with the new Liquid Glass interface and (if your hardware supports it) Apple Intelligence features.
