Cantor Fitzgerald has raised its price target for Energy Vault Holdings Inc. $NRGV (+3,3%) from $7.00 to $12.00 and maintained its “Overweight” rating. Based on the current share price of $3.53, the new target implies significant upside potential of approximately 240%.
Energy Vault reported third-quarter revenue of $13.1 million, which was in line with consensus estimates and reflects the timing of project completions. The company reaffirmed its 2026 revenue forecast of $290 million to $310 million and presented an initial preliminary forecast for 2027. This forecast projects revenue of between $600 million and $700 million, as well as adjusted EBITDA of $40 million to $50 million. Over the past twelve months, the company reported impressive revenue growth of 337%.
The company’s order backlog grew to $2.3 billion. Key contributors to this growth included the acquisition of the 2.3-gigawatt Goshe portfolio and development progress at the Stoney Creek site in Australia. Cash and cash equivalents increased to $236 million, while liabilities with recourse at the corporate level decreased.
In addition, Energy Vault Holdings reported mixed results for the third quarter of 2026. In terms of earnings per share, the company exceeded Wall Street’s expectations: The adjusted loss of $0.14 was better than the consensus estimate of a loss of $0.16. On the revenue side, however, Energy Vault fell short of forecasts, reporting $13.06 million compared to the previously expected $18.55 million. This shortfall was due to project delays, which caused revenue to be deferred to the fourth quarter. This development underscores both the company’s current challenges and its future prospects. Despite the revenue shortfall, the better-than-expected earnings performance came as a positive surprise to market participants.
My personal opinion: I’m staying invested and am confident they’ll turn things around. I’m still in the red, but I see a light at the end of the tunnel.
