This 5-Minute Pitch was originally published on Seeking Alpha before the launch of the Hunting Alphas website. It is shared here to showcase my previous work and track record. New 5-Minute Pitches published on this site will not be disseminated anywhere else.

Elevator Pitch

  • Solid Power's A-2 cell delivery timelines are delayed to early 2025, indicating R&D progress is slower than expected.
  • Q4 FY24 FCF burn is expected to be $48.6 million, and ongoing high capital outlay is expected as the company transitions from batch to continuous flow electrolyte production.
  • Liquidity is eroding, with only 5 quarters of short-term funding remaining.
  • Relative to the S&P500, SLDP's underperformance downtrend is still intact, with no signs of a pause or a reversal.
  • An incoming Trump administration may reduce EV-related grant subsidies, posing additional risks to Solid Power's funding and commercialization efforts.
