Live: Will QuantumScape Shares Rally After Earnings Tonight?

"QuantumScape ( NYSE: QS) reports fourth-quarter 2025 earnings tonight after the close. After beating estimates in both of the last two quarters, investors want to see if the solid-state battery developer can keep narrowing losses while moving closer to commercial production. The company remains pre-revenue but has been consistently narrowing losses over the past five quarters. Shares are up 84% over the past year, though they've given back ground recently, down 18% over the past month."

"I'll be watching for updates on the QS-0 production line and when the company expects to generate meaningful revenue. Last quarter, management highlighted $12.8 million in customer billings and partnerships with Corning and Murata for ceramic separator manufacturing. Any concrete timeline for scaling production beyond prototype volumes would be significant. The Volkswagen Group technical demonstration from Q3 matters because it validates the technology with a major automaker. Key to watch: whether additional OEMs are moving from evaluation to commercial discussions."

"With $241 million in cash as of Q3 and quarterly operating cash burn of $63.7 million, QuantumScape has roughly four quarters of runway at current burn rates. Marketable securities add another $778 million which is a valuable cushion. Management needs to show either accelerating progress toward revenue or a credible plan to extend that timeline without heavy dilution. Wall Street's consensus target of $9.88 suggests analysts see limited upside from current levels without execution improvements."

Shares have risen 84% year-over-year but have fallen 18% in the past month. Progress on the QS-0 production line and a timeline for meaningful revenue are key, supported by $12.8 million in customer billings and partnerships with Corning and Murata. The Volkswagen Group demonstration validates the technology, but the licensing model requires OEMs to commit to volume production. Cash totaled $241 million with a $63.7 million quarterly burn and roughly four quarters of runway; marketable securities add $778 million.
