S&P 500 eases slightly from fresh record high after stronger economic growth
On Tuesday, Cantor Fitzgerald reaffirmed its Overweight rating on SES AI Corp. (NYSE: NYSE:SES), maintaining a $2.00 price target for the company. Currently trading at $0.85 with a market capitalization of $313 million, SES AI Corp. shows mixed signals according to InvestingPro data. The rating is based on a sum-of-the-parts valuation approach, which takes into account the company’s two main business segments: its battery products division, which includes the sale of battery cells and components, and its service sales division, which encompasses recurring sales from its Molecular Universe platform and research & development services.
The valuation multiples applied by Cantor Fitzgerald to SES’s segments are 2.0x and 4.3x enterprise value to projected 2026 revenue for the Battery Product and Service segments, respectively. The analyst’s valuation also includes a $0.55 per share equity value attributed to SES’s net cash position, which stood at $240 million as of March 31, 2025. This figure has been adjusted with a 25% discount to account for anticipated cash burn. InvestingPro analysis confirms the company’s strong liquidity position with a current ratio of 15.61, though it flags rapid cash consumption as a key concern.
The Overweight rating reflects the analyst’s positive outlook on the future revenue growth of SES’s distinct segments and their contribution to the company’s overall valuation. The $2.00 price target suggests that Cantor Fitzgerald sees potential upside for investors based on the current financials and business prospects of SES AI Corp.
