This is an exciting time for investors. Emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and electric vehicles (EVs), offer strong investment opportunities in innovative businesses.
One such company is QuantumScape (NASDAQ: QS). It sits at the intersection of AI and EVs, since its solid-state battery technology can provide power for both. The company recently announced the creation of business units dedicated to these two areas, and a third focused on other markets, including aerospace and defense.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
After hitting a 52-week high of $19.07 in 2025, the stock fell to a low of $4.77 toward the end of July and has remained near that level. Is this a buy opportunity? Here's a closer look at QuantumScape and whether it's a worthwhile investment.
The energy density, power performance, and safety profile of QuantumScape's solid-state batteries caught the attention of Volkswagen, which has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in the battery maker over the past several years. Volkswagen isn't the only interested party.

QuantumScape (NASDAQ: QS), a developer of solid-state batteries, went public through a merger with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) on Nov. 27, 2020. Its stock opened at $24.80 on its first day and closed at an all-time high of $131.67 on Dec. 22, 2020.
Before going public, QuantumScape claimed it could commercialize its first batteries by 2024, and that its revenue would soar from $14 million in 2024 to $275 million in 2026. But as of this writing, it hasn't commercialized any batteries nor generated any meaningful revenue yet.

That's why QuantumScape's stock plummeted 96% to its current price of about $5. Will it bounce back next year as it makes more progress toward launching its first batteries?
QuantumScape's solid-state batteries have higher charging capacities, shorter charging times, and better thermal resistance than liquid-based lithium-ion batteries. But they're also more expensive and challenging to manufacture than their lithium-ion counterparts.

QuantumScape (NASDAQ: QS) wants to revolutionize electric vehicle (EV) batteries with its solid-state battery technology. The company has made good progress toward proving the concept and commercializing its technology.
That may lead investors to question why QuantumScape stock plunged 27.4% in the first half of 2026, according to data provided by S&P Global Market Intelligence. Here's a look at where the business and the stock stand at the midyear point.

We just covered The Next SanDisk: 9 Potential Breakout AI Stocks You Shouldn't Miss. QuantumScape Corp (NASDAQ:QS) ranks #3 (see The Next SanDisk: 5 Potential Breakout AI Stocks You Shouldn't Miss).

QuantumScape Corp (NASDAQ:QS) is a battery technology company developing solid-state batteries for electric vehicles. The stock has plummeted 37% so far this year, with retail investors believing it could break out once the company actually starts producing batteries commercially. However, the stock carries heavy short interest at 15.36%, meaning a lot of investors are betting against it.
The bear case is straightforward: QuantumScape (NASDAQ:QS) has been making the same tiny 5 amp-hour battery cell for years. That's small. Like, not useful for actual cars. The company keeps shipping these B and B1 sample cells to partners, but it never scales up to bigger, more powerful versions that vehicles actually need. For a stock that's raised billions to revolutionize battery tech, that's a real problem.
But the company says the cell size doesn't matter yet. What matters is they figured out how to actually make these cells reliably. They upgraded their manufacturing process from something called Raptor to Cobra. The separator—the internal layer that keeps battery parts from touching—works way better now. Fewer defects. Faster production. They built a pilot line called Eagle Line and proved they can scale it up.
