EVgo (EVGO) EPS Loss Narrows To US$0.04 And Tests Bearish Profitability Narratives
EVgo, Inc. Class A EVGO | 0.00 |
EVgo (EVGO) has just opened its Q1 2026 earnings season story with trailing 12 month revenue of about US$384.1 million and a basic EPS loss of US$0.31, setting a clear top line scale against an ongoing bottom line loss. Over recent quarters the company has seen quarterly revenue move from US$67.5 million in Q3 2024 to US$118.5 million in Q4 2025, while quarterly basic EPS has ranged from a loss of US$0.11 to a loss of US$0.04 over the same period. This frames a business that is adding revenue while still running at a net loss. For investors, the latest print puts the focus squarely on how fast revenue can keep building relative to persistent losses and what that means for the path to healthier margins.
See our full analysis for EVgo.With the headline numbers on the table, the next step is to set them against the widely followed narratives about EVgo's growth potential, risk profile and path toward more sustainable margins.
Revenue Nears US$400 Million On Trailing Basis
- On a trailing twelve month view to Q4 2025, EVgo booked about US$384.1 million of revenue, up from US$239.3 million a year earlier, while net income over the same period was a loss of US$41.4 million compared with a loss of US$44.2 million.
- Supporters with a bullish view point to revenue forecasts of about 26.7% annual growth as validation of this recent move in trailing revenue. However, the fact that losses over the past five years have widened at roughly 37.9% per year creates tension between the growth story and the reality that the business is still running at a loss and not expected to reach profitability over the next three years.
Losses Persist Despite EPS Improvement Trend
- Quarterly basic EPS shifted from a loss of US$0.11 in Q3 2024 to a loss of US$0.04 in Q4 2025, and on a trailing twelve month basis EPS moved from a loss of US$0.42 in Q3 2024 to a loss of US$0.31 in Q4 2025. Yet net income over the latest twelve months was still a loss of US$41.4 million.
- Analysts with a consensus view expect EVgo to remain unprofitable over at least the next three years, and that lines up with the current pattern where trailing EPS is negative even as quarterly EPS loss per share has narrowed. For this group, the key question is whether the pace of revenue growth and cost efficiency is enough to eventually close a gap that has seen losses grow at an average rate of 37.9% per year over the past five years.
Valuation And Cash Runway Signal Higher Risk
- EVgo trades on a P/S ratio of 0.8x, compared with 0.6x for peers and 0.4x for the wider US Specialty Retail industry. The company also has less than one year of cash runway and a current share price of US$2.10 against an analyst consensus price target of US$4.75.
- Bears focus on this combination of a higher P/S multiple and limited cash runway, arguing that ongoing losses and the expectation that EVgo will not be profitable within the next three years raise the chance of future funding needs. This could matter a lot for investors who are weighing the consensus upside to US$4.75 against the reality that the business is still loss making on US$384.1 million of trailing revenue.
