Quantumscape: a stock set to double soon?QuantumScape CorporationBATS:QSAntonio_FerlitoQuantumscape: a stock set to double soon? In June, I made a speculative investment in QuantumScape Corporation (NYSE: QS). In June 2025, it was announced that QuantumScape had introduced its Cobra separation process into basic production, with a 25-fold increase in heat treatment speed and a significant reduction in the physical space required to start the film. Following this announcement, the value of QS shares doubled. QuantumScape Corporation is dedicated to developing advanced battery technologies for electric vehicles (EVs) and other applications. The company focuses its efforts on the research, development, and commercialization of solid-state batteries with lithium-metal anodes. These batteries are designed to offer higher energy density, reduced charging times, and high safety standards, supporting the global transition to low-carbon energy sources. The company's core technology lies in the solid-state separator, an inorganic ceramic that ensures the reliable operation of lithium-metal anode batteries. This separator is positioned between the cathode and the anode current collector, forming the fundamental layer of the battery cells. The basic module of the battery pack design is the bilayer cell, featuring a double-sided cathode sandwiched between two separators. QuantumScape integrates these bilayer cells by stacking them to achieve multi-layer configurations. This is a company in the early stages of start-up, during which a significant amount of liquidity is needed to sustain the business. The operation presents a certain degree of risk, as evidenced by the high short interest in the stock. A high short interest indicates that many investors have taken short positions on a stock, i.e., they have sold borrowed shares with the expectation that the price will fall. This can be interpreted as a sign of a negative market view on the stock. In addition, a high level of short interest can lead to a “short squeeze”: a sudden increase in the stock price that causes investors to buy back shares to limit losses, causing further price increases. The goal of this operation is to generate a quick profit by exploiting a potential short squeeze on Quantum stock. Technical analysis confirms this strategy: since June, when positive news was released regarding the Cobra separation process—a technology developed by QuantumScape Corporation that represents a major advancement in battery production—the stock has seen above-average volume increases and prices that remain steadily above the 200-period moving average. When evaluating an investment in early-stage companies, it is essential to monitor available liquidity; low liquidity to support start-up costs forces the company to repeatedly raise capital, with potentially negative effects on share value. Quantum currently has liquidity exceeding debt, amounting to $860 million, a condition that reduces the likelihood of capital increases in the short term. The stock's seasonality over the past four years has seen average growth of 25%. Funds are rapidly covering their positions and, together with buyer demand, this situation could result in a value of $30 per share in the next quarter.
