EVgo: Likely Won't Be Cash Flow Positive Until 2031, Yet Appears To Be A Great Long-Term Investment
EVgo is not expected to achieve positive cash flow until 2031 due to ongoing operational losses and high capital expenditures, despite strong gross margin improvements and a focus on fast-charging infrastructure. The company's revenue growth is decoupled from EV sales, supporting long-term potential. A proprietary DCF model suggests a $23.27 price target, implying a 24% CAGR. While near-term challenges include share dilution and slowing growth, EVgo benefits from DOE loans and structural industry tailwinds.
