Analysts Are Neutral on Top Consumer Cyclical Stocks: Mobileye Global, Inc. Class A (MBLY), QuantumScape (QS)We would expect this to take 12-18 months, not 3 to 5 years. QuantumScape’s novel cell design and ceramic separator require new manufacturing equipment, so C sample is a significant step requiring heavy capex investment. We expect OEMs to evaluate the performance, scale, and cost of silicon anodes carefully before allocating large capex to fund the capacity build.

QuantumScape: Sell Rating Due to Delayed Revenue and Competitive PressuresWe are encouraged by the company’s progress in the quarter, including with the Cobra separator manufacturing process, and expanding its PowerCo agreement to include an additional up to $131 mn in payments related to development work milestones. Additionally, the company’s new joint development agreement (JDA) with an auto OEM has the potential to lead to a new commercial agreement longer-term.
