The brief

EVgo builds and operates fast-charging stations across the U.S. where electric vehicle drivers can pay to charge their cars, similar to a gas station but for EVs [Yahoo Finance]. The company also provides charging infrastructure and software services to car manufacturers, helps businesses install charging equipment at their locations, and runs PlugShare, a popular app that helps EV drivers find charging stations [Yahoo Finance].

EVgo owns and operates the largest public DC fast-charging network for electric vehicles in the United States, offering direct electricity sales to drivers and white-label charging services to automakers [Yahoo Finance]. The company is growing revenue rapidly (+49.6% year-over-year) but remains deeply unprofitable with negative free cash flow of -$124.4M and an Altman Z-Score of 0.7, indicating high financial distress risk [Yahoo Finance] [Sentinellis calculation]. Recent institutional activity shows mixed signals: State Street dramatically increased its stake by 59.3% while Soros Fund Management raised its position by 12.5%, but the stock fell recently amid broader market concerns about rising interest rates [EODHD] [Yahoo Finance].

EVgo is growing quickly but burning cash heavily, with significant financial stress indicators that raise questions about long-term viability without additional funding.

Figures come from company filings and market data. The Sentinellis health score and the wording attached to it are our interpretation of those figures, not numbers the company reported.

Not investment advice and not a recommendation to buy or sell. Sentinellis holds no positions in the companies it covers, takes no payment from issuers, and has no broker referral arrangements.
