The looming threat of the removal of the clean energy <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40752747/trump-wants-to-end-ev-tax-credits-but-yellen-warns-of-higher-bills-lost-jobs-and-chinas-gain">tax credit has rattled some</a>, but JPMorgan analyst Bill Peterson says EVgo Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EVGO#NASDAQ">EVGO</a>) is set up for success.
"EVGO sees improving affordability of a larger variety of vehicles as being the primary driver of mass EV adoption," Peterson says, adding, "new EV sales would need to decline by 40% to impact the company's trajectory, which is unlikely to happen."
Even if the credit is removed, Peterson forecasts that "16% US [battery electric vehicle] penetration by 2030" is still achievable.

"While it has been reported that Trump's transition team intends to remove the 30D tax credit, there could be alternative ways that the administration changes it," he said, suggesting modifications like domestic content requirements or changes to MSRP and income eligibility.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">EVgo&#8217;s Strategic Footprint Protects Growth</h2>
EVgo's strategic positioning in Republican-led states like Texas, Florida, and Arizona also sets it up for success, especially considering that these regions don't have the same emissions standards as California. Peterson added, "EVGO is relatively shielded from new EV sales growth, given it continues to drive momentum from a stable/growing EV fleet," while pointing to opportunities in autonomous and rideshare markets as potential additional growth drivers.
EVgo's confidence surrounding its Department of Energy (DOE) loan is "reaffirmed.&#8221; CEO Badar Khan called the process "de-risked" and nearing closure. Peterson feels the loan will allow EVgo to revise its EBITDA targets upward, stating, "We feel confident that EVGO will revise its EBITDA targets higher upon receiving the loan and disclose its planned build schedule through 2030."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Funding Concerns Seem Overblown</h2>
Despite some investor concerns about a potential clawback of funds, Peterson remains unconcerned, stating, "The government is unlikely to renegotiate its finalized contracts with US companies, especially if building charging infrastructure stimulates further EV demand and improves US competitiveness with China." 
Peterson also noted that, despite concerns over the loss of the 30C tax credit, "EVGO's business model is not reliant on highway sites."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">EVGO Stock: A Bullish Trajectory</h2>
With 10,000 viable sites and further expansion on the horizon, EVgo's trajectory is still bullish. Peterson concluded that, "The opportunities for growth continue to increase with EV adoption," making EVgo a strong contender in the EV infrastructure race.

After Warren Buffett's conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) declared its <a href="https://www.berkshirehathaway.com/qtrly/3rdqtr24.pdf">third-quarter results</a> in early November, investors have been curious as to why he sitting on nearly $325 billion in cash and equivalents.
What Happened: Analysts have been speculating an array of reasons for the world's most famous value investor to be holding such a huge pile of cash. It could be for an acquisition plan, a buyback<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/11/41869558/warren-buffetts-apple-stake-reduction-spurs-97b-cash-surge-analysts-speculate-this-could-be-the-reas?utm_campaign=partner_feed&amp;utm_source=yahooFinance&amp;utm_medium=partner_feed&amp;utm_content=real_estate"> plan in case of a succession,</a> or an expectation of a market fall.

The stock markets have been trading higher than their pre-election levels with a looming threat of a possible pause in the interest rate cuts. This has led analysts to wonder if Berkshire is avoiding investing because he cannot find any value in the markets at the current level.
&#8220;What some describe as a hot stock market, Warren Buffett would describe as overpriced,&#8221; Cathy Seifert, a director at CFRA Research <a href="https://fortune.com/2024/11/22/warren-buffett-berkshire-pool-dominos-nvidia-sidelines-hot-stock-market/">told</a> Fortune. 
Buffet&#8217;s current stance on the cash "reflects a fundamental skepticism about the sustainability of current market valuations, the sustainability of the Trump trade, combined with the fact that they're not seeing a lot of acquisition targets that are appealing to them,&#8221; she said.
The 94-year-old Buffet will be succeeded by Greg Abel to run Berkshire. "The unfortunate actuarial reality is, at some point in time, you have a change in senior management, and I suspect that they want to have a lot of cash to buy back Berkshire Hathaway stock," said Meyer Shields, managing director at Keefe, Bruyette &amp; Woods to <a href="https://fortune.com/2024/11/22/warren-buffett-berkshire-pool-dominos-nvidia-sidelines-hot-stock-market/">Fortune</a>. He implied that freely available cash can be utilized in case of a sell-off to benefit the shareholders
On the other hand, MicroStrategy Inc&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) co-founder, Michael Saylor has said that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42084722/warren-buffett-destroy[%E2%80%A6]-not-investing-in-bitcoin-says-microstrategys-michael-saylor">Buffett is destroying billions of dollars</a> in capital by not utilizing the cash at their disposal to invest in Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>).
"That $320 billion.. that is destroying $32 billion a year. They are destroying $3 billion a month in capital because they're generating a 3% after-tax yield at best, and the cost of capital is 15%. So take 12% negative real yield," Saylor said.

Why It Matters: By holding cash and equivalents Berkshire could be making only &#8220;3% after-tax yield at best, and the cost of capital is 15%. So take 12% negative real yield,&#8221; said MicroStrategy&#8217;s Saylor
While analysts speculate various reasons, Saylor in a podcast with Patrick Bet-David made a case for Buffet to invest in Bitcoin. "I'd want to bet you that if I had an hour alone with Buffett in a calm environment, I'd walk out and he would say this Bitcoin thing is a pretty good idea."
Saylor was optimistic that Buffett would have wanted to buy Bitcoin after the interaction and would come out saying that the late Charlie Munger would have liked the idea.

Beneficient (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BENF#NASDAQ">BENF</a>) shares are trading higher premarket on Friday after the company disclosed that its subsidiary, Beneficient Company Holdings, L.P., has completed a transaction where approximately $35 million of its preferred equity was redesignated <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/g42133708/beneficient-consummates-transaction-to-increase-permanent-equity-by-35-million" rel="noreferrer noopener">as non-redeemable</a>.
This transaction resulted in the addition of approximately $35 million in permanent equity to the balance sheet.
Consequently, the company now believes it meets the Nasdaq Minimum Stockholders&#8217; Equity Requirement, with stockholders&#8217; equity of at least $2.5 million. However, Nasdaq&#8217;s final determination will confirm the company&#8217;s compliance.
Beneficient also announced the appointment of Karen J. Wendel as an independent member of its Board of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/42133707" rel="noreferrer noopener">Directors as of November 21.</a>

The update highlighted the company&#8217;s business operations, digital innovations in the alternative asset industry, and its contributions to economic development in Kansas communities.
During its testimony, Beneficient executives reviewed the company&#8217;s fiscal second-quarter results for the period ending September 30, 2024, marking the second consecutive quarter of positive diluted earnings per share for its common shareholders.
The company highlighted advancements in its financial industry-focused business, including new technology innovations, an authorization from its board to complete up to $5 billion in fiduciary financings, and a transaction that reclassified certain preferred equity, increasing Beneficient&#8217;s permanent equity by $126 million.
The testimony also emphasized progress on key projects funded primarily by proceeds generated under the Kansas Technology-Enabled Fiduciary Financial Institutions (TEFFI) Act.
Price Action: BENF shares are up 18.2% at $1.04 premarket at the last check Friday.
