What this means for investors
While much of the market dropped sharply after the Federal Reserve rate decision and new chairman Kevin Warsh’s comments afterward, Eos stock held its gains.
In addition to today’s news that it would enter the European market through a partnership with a German company specializing in battery energy storage systems, Eos announced yesterday that it had started commercial production at its second manufacturing facility.
The company expects revenue to more than double this year as demand for energy spikes from utilities, industrial companies, and hyperscalers building data centers. Investors will be closely watching what the company says about backlog and funding needs when it reports Q2 in late July.
