## Elevator Pitch

- Solid Power's stock has underperformed since my last 'Buy' update, lagging the S&P 500 by 26.52%. I believe it is a tough stock to hold for investors looking to maximize IRR.
- Revenue guidance for FY24 has been downgraded due to execution hiccups in electrolyte production and solid-state battery design efforts.
- Electrolyte trials are expected to continue for the balance of FY24\. And automotive qualification progress is also occurring at a much more glacial pace than what I'd expected.
- The stock trades at a 29% discount to balance sheet liquidity, but the lack of a sustainable business model, ongoing FCF burn and buybacks pose risks to investors.
- Technically, SLDP stock seems poised for continued underperformance vs. the S&P 500.
