Blink Charging stock maintains Buy rating at Benchmark despite inventory charges

Investing.com - Blink Charging Co. (NASDAQ:BLNK) received a reiterated Buy rating and $2.00 price target from Benchmark on Tuesday. According to InvestingPro data, the stock appears undervalued at current levels, with shares showing strong momentum, gaining nearly 13% in the past week despite falling 51% over the last year.

The electric vehicle charging company reported second-quarter revenue of $28.7 million, representing a 38% increase quarter-over-quarter and a 14% year-over-year rise. This figure exceeded consensus estimates of approximately $22 million, driven by rebounding product sales and record service revenues. InvestingPro analysis shows the company maintains a healthy current ratio of 2.15, indicating strong short-term liquidity, though it’s currently experiencing rapid cash burn.

Product sales jumped 73% quarter-over-quarter to $14.5 million, while service revenues reached a record level, growing 46% year-over-year to $11.8 million. The company’s reported gross profit was $2.1 million, reflecting a 7% margin.

Benchmark noted that the gross profit figure was significantly impacted by $6.4 million in non-cash charges related to obsolete inventory and project impairments. Excluding these charges, gross profit would have been $8.5 million with an approximate 30% margin, aligning with historical performance.

Blink Charging reaffirmed its commitment to driving sequential revenue growth in the second half of 2025 while optimizing cost structures through its Blink Forward initiative, aiming to maintain approximately 30% adjusted gross margins and progress toward profitability.
