ChargePoint Holdings recently announced its fourth-quarter and full-year earnings on March 4, 2025. The company reported improved net losses and narrowed its loss per share compared to the previous year, despite a decrease in revenue. The positive outlook for the upcoming quarter, with an expected revenue range of $95 million to $105 million, may have instilled confidence among investors, contributing to the 5% price increase over the past week. This uptick in ChargePoint's share price occurred against a backdrop of fluctuating major stock indexes and economic uncertainties relating to tariff developments. The recent market level has seen mixed reactions, with the Dow Jones and other indexes giving back gains post-election. Meanwhile, ChargePoint's steady improvement in losses might have provided a bright spot despite broader market volatility. As the company aligns itself for potential revenue growth, investors appear to have responded positively to its earnings and guidance announcements.

Dig deeper into the specifics of ChargePoint Holdings here with our thorough analysis report.

Over the last year, ChargePoint Holdings' total shareholder return, encompassing both share price and dividends, was -66.99%. This performance notably lagged behind the broader US Market, which saw a gain of 13.1%, and the US Electrical industry's return of -3.6%. A key factor in this underperformance could be ChargePoint's persistent unprofitability, with a net loss of US$282.91 million for the full year and a basic loss per share narrowing to US$0.65. Despite the loss reduction, the company's significant volatility in stock price and the NYSE notification about potentially breaching the minimum stock price requirement overshadowed potential recoveries.

Nevertheless, ChargePoint continued to expand operationally, evident from partnerships such as its collaboration with Airbnb announced in March 2024, which aimed to facilitate EV charger installations for hosts across the US. Additionally, the introduction of innovative products like the ChargePoint Protect system in January 2025 could position the company for future growth, albeit insufficient time may have passed for these initiatives to have impacted last year's returns significantly.
