Investing.com - JPMorgan downgraded Enovix Corporation (NASDAQ:ENVX) from Overweight to Neutral on Thursday, while raising its price target to $12.00 from $9.00. The battery technology company, currently valued at $3.24 billion, trades at $14.56 with a beta of 2.08, indicating significant volatility compared to the broader market.
The investment bank cited the stock’s significant outperformance, having risen 91% since what it called "Liberation Day," suggesting the high chances of success are already priced into the shares. According to InvestingPro data, the stock has delivered a 33.95% return year-to-date, with analysts forecasting 49% revenue growth for the current fiscal year.
JPMorgan emphasized that the downgrade does not reflect diminished confidence in Enovix’s prospects, but rather "pragmatism" as the stock has "overshot" what the firm expects earnings potential will realistically look like over the next 2-3 years. InvestingPro analysis shows the company maintains strong liquidity with a current ratio of 4.68, though investors should note that additional key metrics and 13 more ProTips are available with an InvestingPro subscription.
The firm continues to model Enovix reaching capacity equivalent to four production lines at its Fab-2 facility by 2028, a projection it acknowledges some bearish institutional investors might consider "overly ambitious."
JPMorgan maintained its positive view on Enovix’s technology differentiation, manufacturing risk-reduction steps, and likelihood of gaining commercial traction in the battery market despite competition from incumbents.
