QuantumScape Corp – $115M Loss in Recent Quarter

QuantumScape Corp recently released its 10-Q report, providing a detailed insight into its financial condition and operations. The company, headquartered in San Jose, California, is focused on developing and commercializing solid-state lithium-metal batteries for electric vehicles and other applications. Founded in 2010, QuantumScape is a development-stage company with no revenue to date, having incurred a net loss from operations of approximately $115.0 million and $362.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, with an accumulated deficit of approximately $3.7 billion from its inception through September 30, 2025.

In the 10-Q report, QuantumScape outlined key trends, opportunities, and uncertainties, emphasizing its focus on product development, process development, commercialization, and market focus. The company has demonstrated capabilities of its solid-state separator and battery technology in single-layer and multilayer cell cycling data, and has made significant progress in the development of its first targeted commercial product, the QSE-5, a cell with a capacity of approximately 5 amp-hours. QuantumScape has also entered into a collaboration agreement with PowerCo SE, with the goal of industrializing the solid-state lithium-metal battery technology for its planned product, the QSE-5. The company has also signed agreements with several automotive OEMs for customer sampling and joint development, aiming to make its solid-state battery cells widely available over time.

Furthermore, QuantumScape highlighted its access to capital, stating that based on its current business plan, it believes its cash resources will last through 2029. However, the company acknowledged that changes to its technology development, operating costs, and scale-up, along with the achievement of certain milestones, could materially impact its capital resources. QuantumScape also recognized the potential need for additional cash resources due to changed business conditions or other developments, and indicated that it may need to seek additional equity or debt financing if its current resources are insufficient to satisfy its cash requirements. The market has reacted to these announcements by moving the company's shares 7.95% to a price of $14.66. For the full picture, make sure to review QuantumScape Corp's 10-Q report.
