Panasonic CFO in Interview Says is a Tesla Investor and Supplier

Nikkei Reporting Panasonic to Quit Making Solar Cell Wafers in US

<p>It seems that <strong>Panasonic's</strong> (OTC: PCRFY) restructuring plan has not been successful.

According to <a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-1001_3-57583850-92/panasonic-posts-hefty-2012-losses-amid-tv-sales-decline/">CNET</a>, the Japanese electronics giant posted another major loss. The company lost 754.3 billion Yen ($7.42 billion U.S.) during the fiscal 2012 sales period after sales declined seven percent to 7,846 billion Yen ($71.86 billion U.S.). </p>

<p>Once again, TV sales -- which fell 20 percent in 2012 -- proved to be a big part of the problem. This has created some concern that the company may close its TV unit, particularly after Panasonic President Kazuhiro Tsuga vowed to eliminate unprofitable businesses.</p>

<p>Thus far, Panasonic has reportedly reduced its plasma TV manufacturing efforts to <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/news/13/03/3429536/panasonic-finally-gives-up-on-this-dying-technology">less than one million units</a>. The company was expected compensate for this decline by producing more LCD displays, but that may have changed now that another annual loss has been reported.</p>

<p>There is also the chance that Panasonic may get out of the plasma TV business altogether. In March, rumors claimed that the ill-fated manufacturer would <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/news/13/03/3432137/panasonic-rumored-to-sell-local-asset-to-htc-or-tsmc">sell its plasma business</a> to HTC or <b>Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company</b> (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/tsm#NYSE">TSM</a>). It is not clear what either firm would do with plasma displays, which have been mostly replaced by cheaper and more efficient LCD and LED televisions.</p>

<p>Some have speculated that Panasonic could <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/news/13/03/3421228/will-4k-ultra-hd-televisions-save-sony-and-panasonic">ride the 4K gravy train</a> to success, but that train has yet to come into town. With prices ranging from $5,000 to $25,000, 4K Ultra HD displays are some of the most expensive TVs available. This could make it difficult for Panasonic to persuade consumers to upgrade.</p>

<p>Last year Panasonic joined forces with <strong>Sony</strong> (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/sne#NYSE">SNE</a>) to build <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/news/12/06/2693434/sony-panasonic-join-forces-for-oled-production">OLED displays</a>. By teaming up, the two tech titans hoped that they could reduce expenses and improve production of this newer technology. Little has come from this effort, so it might not be a huge deal for Panasonic to walk away. However, it could be a huge blow to Sony, which has been relying on Panasonic's assistance to build cheaper televisions.</p>

<p>Panasonic is not the only Japanese TV maker that has been encountering losses. While Sony may be able to use its PlayStation division (and other profitable units) to offset any and all TV loses in 2013, Panasonic relies heavily on TV sales. The same is true for <strong>Sharp</strong> (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/shcay#OTC">SHCAY</a>).</p>

<p>Sharp struck fear in investors when it warned that it <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/news/12/11/3048137/can-sharp-and-panasonic-last-another-year">may not survive</a>. Unlike Panasonic, which is somewhat diversified, the majority of Sharp's business comes from TV sales. The company also produces microwaves, calculators, fax machines, printers, solar panels, LED lighting systems and a <a href="http://sharp-world.com/products/smartphone/fx/index.html">very low-end smartphone</a>.</p>

<p>None of those items have been able to offset the decline of Sharp's TV business.</p>

Panasonic's TV Sales Fall 20 Percent

S&P Upgrades MetroPCS from B+ to BB; Outlook Lowered to Stable

<p>If <strong>Sony's</strong> (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/sne#NYSE">SNE</a>) oversized <a href="http://store.sony.com/c/All-In-One-Desktops/en/c/S_Desktops">all-in-one PC/tablet</a> combo was not big enough for consumers, <strong>Intel</strong> (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/intc#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) might have the perfect replacement.

According to <a href="http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20130422PD207.html">DigiTimes</a>, Intel has begun to push its so-called <a href="http://venturebeat.com/2012/09/11/intel-unveils-adaptive-all-in-one-computers-you-can-carry-around-the-home/">adaptive all-in-one PC</a> concept -- which provides a platform to build semi-portable desktop computers -- to manufacturers.</p>

<p>Sony was one of the first companies to experiment with this concept. The Japanese tech giant released a 20-inch, 11-pound Vaio machine last fall. Featuring Windows 8, a touch screen and a built-in battery, this all-in-one PC could be used with or without a power outlet.</p>

<p>When Intel announced the new platform last fall, the company seemed to be focused on building machines with displays that measured at least 20 inches diagonally. According to the DigiTimes report, Intel has "suggested" to manufacturers that they build machines between 18.4 and 27 inches.</p>

<p>The smallest size might seem ideal for business professionals who want a little more power (and a larger screen) than what is currently offered by an <strong>Apple</strong> (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/aapl#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) iPad or an <strong>Amazon</strong> (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/amzn#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) Kindle Fire. The largest size, however, is big enough to replace a small high-def television.</p>

<p>Given the added weight and expanded screen size, consumers might be wary about the portability of these devices.</p>

<p><strong>Panasonic</strong> (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/pc#NYSE">PC</a>) made some progress earlier this year when it unveiled the world's first <a href="http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2414097,00.asp">4K tablet</a>. The device, which was built to be a full Windows 8 Pro PC, comes with an 18-inch Ultra HD display. At 5.3 pounds, it is half as heavy as Sony's all-in-one desktop.</p>

<p>In addition to Sony and Panasonic, Lenovo and <strong>Dell</strong> (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/dell#NASDAQ">DELL</a>) are also in the process of building new <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2013/04/15/dell-xps-18-hybrid-preorder/">oversized tablets</a>.</p>

<p>This is not the first new PC concept that Intel has decided to support. Two years ago the company said that it would spend $300 million to create a <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/11/08/1852079/intel-to-pay-300m-for-a-macbook-air-killer">MacBook Air competitor</a>. This led to the design of the Ultrabook concept, which provides manufacturers with smaller, lighter and more efficient processors, allowing them to build thinner and lighter notebooks.</p>

<p>Thus far, Ultrabooks have not become the sales-igniting, record-breaking format Intel had anticipated. However, they are still expected to account for <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/news/12/12/3164254/intel-ultrabooks-to-account-for-40-of-all-notebook-shipments-in-2013">40 percent of all notebook shipments</a> in 2013.</p>

Intel Promotes Hefty, 27-inch Tablet Concept

Nikkei Reporting Panasonic Healthcare Sales Potential 150B yen

<p>Panasonic (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/pc#NYSE">PC</a>) today announced pricing for the SC-NP10 Wireless Speaker.  Designed as an optimal surround sound system for tablet viewing and listening, the Panasonic SC-NP10 offers users unique functionality for a variety of spaces and listening scenarios.  </p>

<p>Designed for use with any Bluetooth®-enabled tablet device, the Panasonic SC-NP10 allows users to prop their tablet, rather than dock, and wirelessly stream music or movie sound.  Because the system is not a "docking station" it is compatible with various tablet models and sizes, making it easy for a family with different tablets to share the SC-NP10.  At just 3.5 lbs, the compact device can be placed virtually anywhere in the home – in the kitchen, a bedroom or home office - giving users the freedom of watching movies from a distance rather than from their lap. </p>

<p>For users worried about the listening experience when sitting close-by, the Panasonic SC-NP10 utilizes Near Field Stereo Sound to produce realistic sound even from a nearby distance.  A 12-degree slant structure allows for the reproduction of stereo sound faithful to the original, even when listening at a close distance from the device.  The SC-NP10 Wireless Speaker also offers users 2.1-channel Surround Sound to produce sound with life-like realism that offers crisp, clear playback for movie sound.  A 3-1/8 inch integrated subwoofer produces robust bass sounds, packing powerful sound into a slim wireless speaker system.  Bluetooth® Re-Master technology for music which restores frequencies lost during Bluetooth transmission offers users an uninterrupted listening experience.  </p>

<p>The Panasonic SC-NP10 is now available at electronics retailers nationwide and www.Panasonic.com for an SRP of $199.99.

Panasonic Holdings Corporation (PCRFY) Q4 2024 Earnings Call Transcript

<p><a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a></p>
<p>Undervalued <a href="https://investorplace.com/industries/energy/renewable-energy/battery/">battery stocks</a> present exciting opportunities for investors as the world transitions to clean energy sources and electric vehicles become increasingly prevalent. While some well-known companies in the battery industry receive significant attention, there are several lesser-known gems that are poised for growth and offer attractive entry points for savvy investors.</p>



<p>Some companies have established themselves as leaders in the industry, with cutting-edge technologies, robust supply chains, and strong partnerships with major automakers and energy companies. These factors contribute to their potential for long-term growth and is the reason they have made my list of undervalued battery stocks.</p>



<p>Furthermore, the European Union has <a href="https://www.euronews.com/green/2024/05/09/critical-raw-materials-lithium">identified lithium</a> as a critical raw material crucial for its green and digital transition, particularly in the production of batteries for electric vehicles and energy storage systems. This gives these companies an additional growth angle.</p>



<p>So, having said that, here are three companies for investors to keep on their radars this month. I believe they represent the best value in the market.</p>



<h2>Albemarle (ALB)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/alb1600a-300x169.jpg" alt="Albemarle (ALB) logo on a mobile phone screen"><div>Source: IgorGolovniov/Shutterstock.com</div></div><p><strong>Albemarle</strong> (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/alb-stock-quote/"><strong>ALB</strong></a>), the world&rsquo;s largest lithium producer by market cap, plays a critical role in supplying lithium for electric vehicle batteries, among other applications.</p>



<p>For the upcoming year, Albemarle has <a href="https://investors.albemarle.com/news-and-events/news/news-details/2024/Albemarle-Outlines-Actions-to-Preserve-Growth-Reduce-Costs-and-Optimize-Cash-Flow/default.aspx">introduced proactive measures</a> to unlock more than $750 million in cash flow in the near term. These measures include optimizing its cost structure, which is expected to save approximately $95 million annually, and re-phasing its growth investments to improve financial flexibility.</p>



<p>ALB also anticipates significant growth in its Energy Storage segment, projecting net sales to range from $5.5 billion to $6.2 billion in scenarios of average lithium market prices of about $15 per kg LCE. Under higher price scenarios, these figures could increase to as much as $7.6 billion, with corresponding increases in adjusted EBITDA&#8203;.</p>



<p>With all of these factors considered, I believe that ALB could be one of those undervalued <a href="https://investorplace.com/industries/energy/renewable-energy/battery/lithium/">lithium stocks</a> for investors to buy.</p>



<h2>Arcadium Lithium (ALTM)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/lithium-1600-300x169.png" alt="Lithium element on the periodic table. Top-rated lithium stocks"><div>Source: tunasalmon / Shutterstock</div></div><p><strong>Arcadium Lithium</strong> (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/altm-stock-quote/"><strong>ALTM</strong></a>) is <a href="https://ir.arcadiumlithium.com/investors/news/news-details/2024/Arcadium-Lithium-Releases-Fourth-Quarter-and-Full-Year-2023-Results-and-Provides-2024-Full-Year-Outlook/">projecting significant growth for 2024</a>, expecting a 40% increase in combined lithium hydroxide and lithium carbonate sales. Lower sales of spodumene concentrate somewhat offset this growth.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The company has outlined two potential revenue and EBITDA scenarios for 2024 based on different lithium market price assumptions. Arcadium Lithium projects revenue to be approximately $1.25 billion with an Adjusted EBITDA of around $420 million in the lower price scenario. In a higher price scenario, revenue could reach around $1.9 billion with an Adjusted EBITDA approaching $1 billion&#8203;.</p>



<p>Analysts anticipate ALTM to take time to fully realize the equity from its merger from the start of the year. Thus, projections for its EPS are modest but steady in the near-term.</p>



<p>ALTM&rsquo;s fundamentals are expected to reach an inflection point around FY2025. This is when a series of EPS increases are predicted, growing as much as 53.26% to 0.32. I think this makes ATLM undervalued relative to its EPS growth potential.</p>



<h2>Panasonic (PCRFY)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/pcrfy1600a-300x169.jpg" alt="A Panasonic (PCRFY) sign hanging in Beijing, China. generation z"><div>Source: testing/Shutterstock.com</div></div><p><strong>Panasonic</strong> (OTCMKTS:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/pcrfy-stock-quote/"><strong>PCRFY</strong></a></span>) plans upgraded versions of its electric vehicle battery cells, which are anticipated to offer <a href="https://batteriesnews.com/panasonic-make-upgraded-electric-car-battery-early-2024-tesla/">improved capacity</a>. Significantly, Panasonic has formed a partnership with NOVONIX to secure a sustainable supply of synthetic graphite. Synthetic graphite is a crucial component in lithium-ion batteries. This collaboration aims to reduce the carbon footprint of their battery production process.</p>



<p>Panasonic is also significantly expanding its <a href="https://electrek.co/2023/06/06/panasonic-add-new-battery-production-line-tesla-gigafactory-nevada/">battery production capabilities</a> in North America. This move positions itself as a major player in the electric vehicle (EV) battery market. They plan to quadruple their battery production by 2030. They have a strong focus on producing 4680 battery cells, which are critical for the next generation of EVs.</p>



<p>One of the key things that most investors lack in their portfolios is international diversification. Although PCRFY&rsquo;s main market is the U.S, its international operating segments and headquarters in Japan could make it a worthy consideration. It therefore ticks the box as a potentially undervalued battery stock while being in an international developed market.</p>

The 3 Most Undervalued Battery Stocks to Buy in May 2024

Panasonic: Look Beyond Operating Income Miss

<p><a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a></p>
<p>Even amidst macroeconomic headwinds, the <strong>S&amp;P 500</strong> index has remained resilient. For the year-to-date, the index has trended higher by 10%. While it&rsquo;s good to remain optimistic, preparing for the worst is equally important. I don&rsquo;t intend to be a fearmonger and it&rsquo;s unlikely that there will be a big crash. However, even a 10% to 15% correction in the index is significant. To remain prepared for any such scenario, this column intends to discuss some low-risk, high-reward stocks to buy and hold.</p>



<p>It&rsquo;s first important to understand the reason for remaining cautious. GDP growth decelerated in Q1 2024, and this calls for rate cuts. However, with stubborn inflation, the Fed will likely be slow in pursuing expansionary policies. Fear of a hard landing will likely be the catalyst for a market correction.</p>



<p>The first-rate cut is likely before the Presidential elections. Therefore, any weakness in the market would be an opportunity to accumulate quality stocks. For now, let&rsquo;s discuss three low-risk, high-reward stocks to buy.</p>



<h2>Panasonic Holdings (PCRFY)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="165" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/PCRFYmsn-compressor-300x165.jpg" alt="10 Lithium Stocks to Buy Despite the Market's Irrationality"><div>Source: Shutterstock</div></div><p>In my view, <strong>Panasonic Holdings</strong> (OTCMKTS:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/pcrfy-stock-quote/"><strong>PCRFY</strong></a></span>) stock is a low-risk bet for two reasons. First, PCRFY stock has already been oversold and has mainly remained sideways in the last 12 months. Considering a forward price-earnings ratio of 8.5, I don&rsquo;t see a downside from current levels for this 1.26% dividend yield stock.</p>



<p>Further, Panasonic Holdings is among the major players in the EV battery market. The company is high on innovation and has ambitious expansion plans through 2031. Once industry sentiments change, PCRFY stock is likely to deliver multibagger returns.</p>



<p>In terms of expansion plans, Panasonic is targeting to boost its EV battery <a href="https://asia.nikkei.com/Spotlight/The-Big-Story/Panasonic-leads-Japan-s-EV-battery-comeback-plan-with-U.S.-push">manufacturing capacity</a> to 200GWh by 2031. This will translate into steady revenue growth coupled with EBITDA margin expansion.</p>



<p>On the innovation front, Panasonic <a href="https://na.panasonic.com/us/news/panasonic-energy-partners-sila-procurement-next-generation-silicon-anode-material-ev-batteries">has partnered</a> with Sila Nanotechnologies to &ldquo;purchase next-generation nano-composite silicon anode material for EV lithium-ion batteries.&rdquo; By 2031, Panasonic aims to achieve a 25% increase in battery energy density. With all these positives, it&rsquo;s a good time to buy PCRFY stock.</p>



<h2>Apple (AAPL)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/aapl1600-1-300x169.png" alt="Newly released iPhone 15 pro max mockup set with back and front angles. AAPL stock"><div>Source: Yalcin Sonat / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p>The last few quarters have been mixed for <a href="https://investorplace.com/industries/technology/">technology stocks</a>. <strong>Nvidia</strong> (NASDAQ:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/nvda-stock-quote/"><strong>NVDA</strong></a></span>) stock has surged 215% in the previous 12 months. <strong>Apple</strong> (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/aapl-stock-quote/"><strong>AAPL</strong></a>) stock has remained sideways during the same period. In my view, investors can consider some allocation to innovation driven ideas that have remained subdued. Apple is possibly among the best names to consider.</p>



<p>An important point to note is that the application of AI is being talked about across sectors. AI is expected to contribute $15 trillion to the global economy by 2030. I believe the markets are waiting for Apple&rsquo;s big AI push. Once that&rsquo;s clear, AAPL stock is likely to surge higher.</p>



<p>Apple ended Q2 2024 with <a href="https://www.apple.com/newsroom/pdfs/fy2024-q2/FY24_Q2_Consolidated_Financial_Statements.pdf">$161 billion in cash and equivalents</a>. This provides ample flexibility to invest in next-generation technology for its devices. Apple has already been <a href="https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/technology/apples-ai-push-gathers-steam-as-it-reportedly-acquires-france-based-startup-12696651.html">making small acquisitions</a> in the AI space. In another recent news, Apple is <a href="https://www.reuters.com/technology/apple-set-sell-vision-pro-headset-outside-us-bloomberg-news-reports-2024-05-13/">planning to sell</a> its Vision Pro mixed-reality headset outside the United States. The wearable and services segment has ample scope for growth in the coming years.</p>



<h2>Vale (VALE)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/vale-1600-300x169.jpg" alt="the Vale logo displayed on a mobile phone with the company's webpage in the background"><div>Source: rafapress / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p>Among blue-chip commodity stocks, <strong>Vale</strong> (NYSE:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/vale-stock-quote/"><strong>VALE</strong></a></span>) is worth buying at current levels of $12.5. VALE stock trades at a forward price-earnings ratio of 5.2, indicatinghe extent of undervaluation. The stock also offers an attractive dividend yield of 8.8%.</p>



<p>Regarding potential returns, analysts have a median price target of $16 for the stock. This would imply an upside of 28% from current levels. Therefore, the total return from VALE stock is likely at 35% to 40% in the next 12 months, with valuations indicating limited downside risk.</p>



<p>Vale will benefit from relatively higher iron ore prices from a business perspective. A possible rate cut towards the end of the year can trigger a rally for industrial commodities. This will support revenue and adjust EBITDA upside.</p>



<p>It&rsquo;s worth noting that for Q1 2024, Vale reported the highest quarterly iron ore production since 2019. Copper and nickel production also witnessed healthy growth. If this trend is sustained, the company will be positioned to deliver strong free cash flows.</p>

3 Low-Risk, High-Reward Stocks to Buy to Protect Your Portfolio From a Market Crash

Panasonic: Chinese Battery Tariffs And A Ticker Change

<p><a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a></p>
<p>Globally, the electric vehicle industry has faced multiple headwinds. These have come in the form of macroeconomic headwinds, higher interest rates, and intense industry competition. The result has been a sharp correction in <a href="https://investorplace.com/industries/consumer-discretionary/automotive/electric-vehicles/">EV stocks</a> in the last few quarters. While there is some fear in the streets, I would look at EV stocks to buy for long-term.</p>



<p>Throughout economic history, there has been booms and busts. When the industry has multi-decade tailwinds, there are dozens of new entrants. This results in a boom, but only handpicked survive in the long term and create real value. The same holds true for EV companies. There are hundreds of EV players globally. However, in the next five years, the markets will be dominated by few players that survive through innovation.</p>



<p>The focus of this column is therefore on EV stocks to buy that are likely to navigate the headwinds and emerge stronger. A portfolio of these stocks is likely to have millionaire-maker potential by the end of the decade.</p>



<h2>Tesla (TSLA)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/tsla1600-13-300x169.png" alt="Tesla (TSLA) Service Center. Tesla designs and manufactures the Model S electric sedan IV. Tesla layoffs"><div>Source: Jonathan Weiss / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p><strong>Tesla</strong> (NASDAQ:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/tsla-stock-quote/"><strong>TSLA</strong></a></span>) has a history of proving critics wrong and I believe that it&rsquo;s likely to be the same this time. Amidst volatility, TSLA stock has remained sideways in the last 12 months. This is possibly an indication of the point that the bottom for the stock is around $160 to $180 levels.</p>



<p>Of course, deliveries have disappointed and with cut in prices, it&rsquo;s likely that pressure on margins will sustain. However, Tesla is well positioned fundamentally to navigate the headwinds. Further, the Company has potentially game-changing plans in the pipeline.</p>



<p>As an example, Tesla is moving <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-03-28/tesla-s-tsla-new-unboxed-manufacturing-process-aims-to-cut-costs-50">towards an &ldquo;unboxed&rdquo; approach</a>. It&rsquo;s like &ldquo;building Legos than a traditional production line.&rdquo; The new approach is likely to help in cutting cost by 50%. If this is achieved, Tesla will be positioned to expand margins. Further, the long due low-cost car might be on the cards for emerging markets. Therefore, innovation is the key and Tesla is on the forefront of innovation driven growth.</p>



<h2>BYD Company (BYDDF)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/byddf-stock-1-300x169.jpg" alt="A close-up view of the power supply plugged into a vehicle from BYD Company (BYDDY)."><div>Source: J. Lekavicius / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p>For Q4 2023, <strong>BYD Company</strong> (OTCMKTS:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/byddf-stock-quote/"><strong>BYDDF</strong></a></span>) <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/business-67860232">sold more electric vehicles</a> than Tesla. With a leading market share, BYD is among the top EV companies to hold in the portfolio for multibagger returns.</p>



<p>It&rsquo;s worth noting that in the last 12 months, BYDDF stock has declined by 16%. This is on the back of macroeconomic headwinds and pricing pressure due to intense competition. However, the stock looks attractive at a forward price-earnings ratio of 20.1.</p>



<p>An important point to note is that China <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/china/chinas-ev-strategy-going-small-cheap-pay-big-dividends-asia-russell-2024-04-23/">accounted for 60% of global EV sales</a> last year. With BYD Company having a <a href="https://autovista24.autovistagroup.com/news/byd-took-control-of-the-2023-chinese-ev-market/">market share</a> of 35.5% in China, the growth outlook remains positive.</p>



<p>It&rsquo;s also worth noting that BYD is working on boosting presence in markets like Brazil, Indonesia, and India. In Brazil, the Company is constructing a new manufacturing facility with an <a href="https://www.digitimes.com/news/a20240322PD203/brazil-byd-china-ev.html">annual production capacity</a> of 150,000 units. These potentially high-growth markets will ensure that BYD continues to remain among the top two EV players globally.</p>



<h2>Li Auto (LI)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/liauto1600-300x169.png" alt="Li Auto (Li Xiang) brand logo and electric car in store. A Chinese EV(electric vehicle) company"><div>Source: Robert Way / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p><strong>Li Auto</strong> (NASDAQ:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/li-stock-quote/"><strong>LI</strong></a></span>) stock has witnessed a deep correction in the recent past. The reason is relatively disappointing numbers for Q1 2024. I see this as a golden buying opportunity with LI stock trading at a forward price-earnings ratio of 17.5.</p>



<p>I like the fact that Li Auto has exclusive focus on Chinese markets. The Company is boosting its retail presence and EV charging network within the country. The results have been exceptional when we compare deliveries growth and vehicle margin with the likes of <strong>Nio</strong> (NYSE:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/nio-stock-quote/"><strong>NIO</strong></a></span>) and <strong>XPeng</strong> (NYSE:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/xpev-stock-quote/"><strong>XPEV</strong></a></span>).</p>



<p>Concentrated presence has ensured that the Company is able to curb cost. Further, the balance sheet is string with a <a href="https://ir.lixiang.com/news-releases/news-release-details/li-auto-inc-announces-unaudited-first-quarter-2024-financial">robust cash buffer</a> of $13.7 billion as of Q1 2024. With the recent launch of Li MEGA and Li L6, it&rsquo;s likely that deliveries growth will be strong.</p>



<p>It&rsquo;s also worth noting that Li Auto is working on next-generation EV technology and smart vehicle solutions. In the coming years, it&rsquo;s enhanced features within the EV that will be the differentiating factor. Focus on technology is likely to ensure that Li Auto remains ahead of the curve.</p>



<h2>Panasonic Holdings (PCRFY)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/pcrfy1600a-300x169.jpg" alt="A Panasonic (PCRFY) sign hanging in Beijing, China. generation z"><div>Source: testing/Shutterstock.com</div></div><p>Some of the best EV stocks have witnessed a meaningful correction in the last few quarters. However, <strong>Panasonic Holdings</strong> (OTCMKTS:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/pcrfy-stock-quote/"><strong>PCRFY</strong></a></span>) stock has remained sideways.</p>



<p>The reason is that PCRFY stock is already oversold. A forward price-earnings ratio of 8.5 underscores my view. It&rsquo;s therefore a good time to accumulate before this innovation driven EV battery manufacturer stock surges higher.</p>



<p>It&rsquo;s worth noting that Panasonic has aggressive expansion plans. The Company intends to <a href="https://asia.nikkei.com/Spotlight/The-Big-Story/Panasonic-leads-Japan-s-EV-battery-comeback-plan-with-U.S.-push">quadruple its EV battery capacity</a> to 200GWh by 2031. I must agree that expansion plans for the foreseeable future have been scaled down. However, once growth accelerates, Panasonic has ample flexibility to aggressively invest. This provides revenue growth visibility coupled with potential EBITDA margin expansion in the coming years.</p>



<p>On the innovation front, Panasonic is targeting to <a href="https://na.panasonic.com/us/news/panasonic-energy-partners-sila-procurement-next-generation-silicon-anode-material-ev-batteries">boost battery energy density</a> by 25% from current levels. To achieve this, the Company is looking at nano-composite silicon anode material for EV lithium-ion batteries. Focus on innovation will ensure that Panasonic maintains its market share.</p>



<h2>Lithium Americas (LAC)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/lithium-americas-lac-1600-300x169.jpg" alt="smartphone with logo of Canadian company Lithium Americas Corp on screen"><div>Source: Wirestock Creators / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p>With the plunge in lithium prices, some of the best <a href="https://investorplace.com/industries/energy/renewable-energy/battery/lithium/">lithium stocks</a> have witnessed a sharp correction. I see this as a good accumulation opportunity for the long term. Considering the <a href="https://www.icwa.in/show_content.php?lang=1&amp;level=1&amp;ls_id=10457&amp;lid=6669">impending lithium supply-gap</a>, it&rsquo;s likely that the metal will trend higher in the coming years.</p>



<p><strong>Lithium Americas</strong> (NYSE:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/lac-stock-quote/"><strong>LAC</strong></a></span>) is possibly the best name to consider among lithium stocks. Even with multiple positive business developments, LAC stock has remained depressed. I would not be surprised with a big breakout rally once lithium trends higher.</p>



<p>As an overview, the Company has ownership of the Thacker Pass project. The asset has an <a href="https://lithiumamericas.com/files/doc_presentation/2024/05/LAC-Corporate-Presentation.pdf">after-tax net present value</a> of $5.7 billion with a mine life of 40 years. Further, the Company has guided for annual EBITDA of $2 billion from the asset once both phases commence production.</p>



<p>With the financing backing from <strong>General Motors</strong> (NYSE:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/gm-stock-quote/"><strong>GM</strong></a></span>) and the U.S. Department of Energy, the Company is working on the construction phase. The <a href="https://lithiumamericas.com/news/news-details/2024/Lithium-Americas-Closes-US275-Million-Underwritten-Public-Offering/default.aspx">recent fund raising</a> of $275 million through equity offering has also ensured that the project financing gap is closed.</p>



<h2>Blink Charging (BLNK)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="200" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/blnkmsn-300x200.jpg" alt="Blink Stock Won't Be Able To Hold Its Charge"><div>Source: Shutterstock</div></div><p>After an extended period of correction, <strong>Blink Charging</strong> (NASDAQ:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/blnk-stock-quote/"><strong>BLNK</strong></a></span>) stock has remained sideways for year-to-date. I see this as a good time to accumulate this EV charging infrastructure stock with positive business developments on the cards.</p>



<p>For Q1 2024, Blink Charging reported <a href="https://d1io3yog0oux5.cloudfront.net/_8d468f3f056720e4258ab6c945ef7509/blinkcharging/news/2024-05-09_BLINK_CHARGING_ANNOUNCES_FIRST_QUARTER_REVENUE_2508.pdf">stellar revenue growth</a> of 73% on a year-on-year basis to $37.6 million. For the same period, gross margin increased by 195% to $13.4 million.</p>



<p>An important point to note is that Blink has guided for full year gross margin of 33%. Additionally, the Company has reiterated its guidance for <a href="https://d1io3yog0oux5.cloudfront.net/_8d468f3f056720e4258ab6c945ef7509/blinkcharging/db/86/1646/presentation/BLNK+1Q24+Earnings+Presentation+5.9.24f.pdf">achieving positive adjusted EBITDA</a> by the end of 2024. If this target is achieved, I expect BLNK stock to surge.</p>



<p>I must add here that between Q1 2021 and Q1 2024, service revenue has increased at a CAGR of 189%. As more EV charging stations are installed, I expect healthy growth in service revenue to swell. This will support EBITDA margin expansion beyond 2024. Therefore, business metrics are encouraging in terms of top-line growth and profitability.</p>



<h2>Solid Power (SLDP)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/sldp_solid_power_1600-300x169.png" alt="Smartphone with logo of American battery company Solid Power Inc. on screen in front of business website. Focus on center-left of phone display."><div>Source: T. Schneider / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p>Among companies working on the commercialization of solid-state batteries, <strong>Solid Power</strong> (NASDAQ:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/sldp-stock-quote/"><strong>SLDP</strong></a></span>) is an attractive bet. If the Company can achieve success, I expect SLDP stock to deliver 20x to 30x returns from current levels.</p>



<p>One reason to be bullish on Solid Power is the backing of strong automotive partners. This includes <strong>Ford</strong> (NYSE:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/f-stock-quote/"><strong>F</strong></a></span>), <strong>BMW</strong> (OTCMKTS:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/bmwyy-stock-quote/"><strong>BMWYY</strong></a></span>), and SK On. As a matter of fact, the Company has licensed its cell design and technology to BMW and SK On for parallel research and development. This is likely to support an accelerated move towards commercialization.</p>



<p>Last year, Solid Power had delivered A-1 sample cells to automotive partners for validation testing. The Company is targeting to <a href="https://www.solidpowerbattery.com/investor-relations/investor-news/news-details/2024/Solid-Power-First-Quarter-2024-Results-Reflect-Continued-Progress-Towards-2024-Goals/default.aspx">advance its cell design and deliver</a> A-2 sample cells to automotive players in 2024. At the same time, the Company has expanded its electrolyte sampling with shipments to multiple potential customers. The progress has therefore been positive and with a healthy cash buffer, investment in R&amp;D will continue.</p>

The EV Investor's Survival Guide: 7 Stocks to Buy Now for Long-Term Riches

<p><a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a></p>
<p><a target="_blank" href="https://investorplace.com/industries/energy/renewable-energy/battery/"></a><a href="https://investorplace.com/industries/energy/renewable-energy/battery/">Battery stocks</a> are a compelling investment opportunity that every investor should consider. These companies offer significant growth potential and play a crucial role in the global transition to a carbon-free energy model. As the world rapidly shifts towards renewable energy and electric vehicles (EVs), battery technology is becoming increasingly important. This forms my article for these best battery stocks to buy.</p>



<p>In this article, we&rsquo;ll explore three battery stocks that are solid buys for investors. These companies may be undervalued due to their impressive growth prospects and the possibility that the market is mispricing them relative to their potential performance in 2024.</p>



<p>These three <a target="_blank" href="https://investorplace.com/stock-types/undervalued-stocks/">undervalued stocks</a> represent exciting opportunities for investors looking to benefit from the growing demand for battery technology in 2024 and beyond. By investing in these companies now, investors can potentially reap significant rewards as the market recognizes their true value.</p>



<p>So here are three battery stocks for investors to consider:</p>



<h2>Albemarle Corporation (ALB)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="165" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/lithiummsn-300x165.jpg" alt=""><div>Source: Shutterstock</div></div><p><strong>Albemarle Corporation </strong>(NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/alb-stock-quote/"><strong>ALB</strong></a>) is one of the world&rsquo;s largest producers of lithium, which is a critical component in the production of batteries for electric vehicles and renewable energy storage.</p>



<p>For this year, ALB has <a href="https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/albemarle-corp-alb-q1-2024-072915878.html">reported an adjusted EBITDA of $291 million</a> on net sales of $1.4 billion. The company&rsquo;s profit margin stands at a modest 4.02%, and its operating margin is -10.6%. Return on assets is -2.68%, while return on equity is 3.86%.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Albemarle has a dividend yield of 1.39%. However, Albemarle&rsquo;s <a href="https://s201.q4cdn.com/960975307/files/doc_earnings/2024/q1/earnings-result/Q12024_pressrelease.pdf">quarterly earnings and revenue growth have declined</a> substantially.&nbsp;Revenue is down 47.3% and net income is down by 99.8%.</p>



<p>However, these teething issues are usual for cyclical companies like ALB which are still scaling their production. I also think that its shares could be entering into a buying zone based on a recent development.</p>



<p>ALB faced a <a href="https://www.morningstar.com/stocks/albemarle-stock-plunges-18-big-share-issuance-is-it-buy">steep stock drop after announcing</a> a $2.3 billion convertible preferred stock issuance in March, surprising investors. This news sent shares down by nearly 18%, before a partial rebound. Its shares are now down 47.53% over the past year.</p>



<p>As ALB looks to head towards a bottom, its risk-to-reward profile improves if one is bullish on the battery industry as a whole, making it one of those best battery stocks to buy.</p>



<h2>Panasonic (PCRY)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/pcrfy1600a-300x169.jpg" alt="A Panasonic (PCRFY) sign hanging in Beijing, China. generation z"><div>Source: testing/Shutterstock.com</div></div><p><strong>Panasonic</strong> (OTCMKTS:<strong><a target="_blank" href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/pcrfy-stock-quote/">PCRFY</a></strong>), a well-established player in the battery industry, is known for its long-standing collaboration with <strong>Tesla</strong> (NASDAQ:<strong><a target="_blank" href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/tsla-stock-quote/">TSLA</a></strong>). However, the company is making significant strides in the market on its own, proving that it is not overshadowed by its partnership with the electric vehicle giant.</p>



<p>Moreover, Panasonic announced ambitious plans to substantially increase its annual production capacity for EV battery cells, setting a target of 200 GWh by March 2031. This move would effectively quadruple the company&rsquo;s current battery production. In addition, Panasonic is also exploring innovative battery solutions, such as cobalt-free options and cells with an impressive energy density of 1,000 Wh/l.</p>



<p>Given these developments, there is a strong case to be made that Panasonic&rsquo;s stock is currently trading at <a href="https://stockanalysis.com/stocks/pcrfy/statistics/" target="_blank">undervalued levels</a>.</p>



<p>PCRY is making some serious moves in the battery space, so I think it&rsquo;s one of the best battery stocks for investors to buy this month.</p>



<h2>Piedmont Lithium (PLL)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/pll1600-300x169.png" alt="Person holding cellphone with logo of US mining company Piedmont Lithium Inc. (PLL) on screen in front of business webpage. Focus on phone display. Unmodified photo."><div>Source: T. Schneider / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p><strong>Piedmont Lithium</strong> (NASDAQ:<strong><a target="_blank" href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/pll-stock-quote/">PLL</a></strong>) is a promising investment opportunity for those seeking substantial returns from the growing lithium market. The company is developing a lithium project in North Carolina that has the potential to become one of the largest lithium sources in North America.</p>



<p>In the first quarter of 2024, Piedmont Lithium <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/piedmont-lithium-inc-pll-q1-193343378.html">reported a revenue of $13.4 million</a> and ended the quarter with a cash balance of $71.4 million. The company&rsquo;s North American Lithium (NAL) operations achieved record production, with 40,439 dry metric tons of spodumene concentrate produced during the quarter.</p>



<p>Looking ahead, Piedmont <a target="_blank" href="https://greenstocknews.com/news/nasdaq/pll/piedmont-lithium-reports-q1-2024-results">plans to double its spodumene shipments</a> in the second half of the year, targeting an annual production of approximately 126,000 tons. The company is implementing a cost-saving plan to reduce operating expenses by $10 million annually to improve its financial position. Additionally, Piedmont has deferred some capital expenditures initially planned for 2024 to 2025.</p>



<p>I believe that PLL is a strong buy for all of these reasons.</p>

The 3 Best Battery Stocks to Buy in June 2024

<p><a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a></p>
<p>Overlooked <a href="https://investorplace.com/industries/consumer-discretionary/automotive/electric-vehicles/">EV stocks</a> are an appealing investment case in 2024 since, by the end of a year that will also see a decrease in the benchmark interest rate, sales of electric vehicles will <a href="https://www.iea.org/energy-system/transport/electric-vehicles">reach over 17 million units</a> or more than 20% of all new automobiles sold globally. When comparing the first quarter of 2024 to the same time in 2023, EV sales increased by almost 25%, illustrating sound progress toward this goal.</p>



<p>By 2024, EV sales are expected to account <a href="https://www.iea.org/reports/global-ev-outlook-2024/trends-in-electric-cars">for more than 11%</a> of new vehicle sales in the U.S., but China remains the biggest market, accounting for around 60% of all EV sales worldwide.</p>



<p>In dollar terms, estimates peg the industry <a href="https://www.statista.com/outlook/mmo/electric-vehicles/worldwide">value at $623.3 billion</a>, with forecasts for it to grow to $906.7 billion by 2028. Overlooked EV stocks are a great way to play this expanding market, especially with the prospects for interest rates going down this year, prompting further cash infusions into the stock market.</p>



<p>With upsides of 50% to over 100%, pick-and-shovel overlooked EV stocks are in a stronger position than out-and-out EV stocks since they haven&rsquo;t profited as much from the Q1&rsquo;24 rally. Although one rate drop this year is disappointing, we are in an election year, so additional domestic policy actions like the <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/cleanenergy/inflation-reduction-act-guidebook/">Inflation Reduction Act</a> will lead to an outsized impact on these overlooked EV stocks.</p>



<h2>Blink Charging (BLNK)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/blnk-stock-300x169.jpg" alt="a blink charging station, BLNK stock"><div>Source: David Tonelson/Shutterstock.com</div></div><p><strong>Blink Charging </strong>(NASDAQ:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/blnk-stock-quote/"><strong>BLNK</strong></a></span>) stock is down 50% this year, <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/blink-charging-co-surpasses-analyst-191611692.html">despite its Q1 2024 quarterly loss</a> of $0.13 per share being smaller than analysts&rsquo; $0.24 loss per share, and its revenues of $37.57 million topping analysts&rsquo; projection of $33.38 million by 12.55%.</p>



<p>Product sales for Blink Charging rose 68% to $27.5 million in 2023, increasing customer numbers buying commercial charges drove this surge.</p>



<p>Carsharing, network fees, and service charges drove a 72% increase in service revenues to $8.2 million as more people used Blink&rsquo;s chargers locally and abroad and added carshare programs.</p>



<p>Besides the earnings beat, <strong>BYD&rsquo;s</strong> (OTCMKTS:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/byddy-stock-quote/"><strong>BYDDY</strong></a></span>) official dealership in Mexico Grupo Fame, <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/byd-official-dealership-mexico-owned-121500425.html">selected</a> Blink Charging for EV charging. Additionally, the dealership will install Blink Level 2 chargers and soon add DC fast chargers to boost its EV infrastructure.</p>



<p>In addition, <strong>Keystone Purchasing Network</strong> <a href="https://blinkcharging.com/news/keystone-purchasing-network-exclusively-chooses-blink-charging">is hiring</a> Blink Charging as its exclusive EV charging supplier.</p>



<p>On the product side, Blink Charging is <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/blink-launch-fast-charger-evs-with-teslas-charging-port-2023-06-12/">integrating</a> North American charge standard (NACS) connections to all its charging devices, making Blink&rsquo;s chargers more user-friendly and compatible with more EV vehicles. Consensus views <a href="https://www.tipranks.com/stocks/BLNK/forecast">point to a potential 107% upside</a>.</p>



<h2>EVgo (EVGO)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/evgo-clii-stock-300x169.jpg" alt="EVgo fast charging station"><div>Source: Sundry Photography / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p><strong>EVgo </strong>(NASDAQ:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/evgo-stock-quote/"><strong>EVGO</strong></a></span>) recorded <a href="https://investors.evgo.com/news/news-details/2024/EVgo-Inc.-Reports-Record-First-Quarter-2024-Results/default.aspx#:~:text=Revenue%20reached%20a%20record%20%2455.2,including%20EVgo%20eXtend%E2%84%A2%20stalls.">record revenue of $55.2 million</a> for the first quarter of 2024, up 118% from the previous year. Additionally, the network throughput increased by 194% from the previous year to a record 53 gigawatt-hours (GWh), and EVgo installed 250 additional operating slots.</p>



<p>In the first quarter of 2024, the EVGO network was used about 19% of the time, up from 9% during the same time last year; the upside on EVGO stock is phenomenal at 106%, making it one of the top overlooked EV stocks.</p>



<p>With the help of key site host partners, EVgo found more than 100,000 possible charging stations and is now focusing on putting more fast charging stations in places that are easy for cars to access.</p>



<p>In addition, drivers who buy or lease a new 2024 bZ4X will get a year of free, fast charging as part of EVgo&rsquo;s <a href="https://investors.evgo.com/news/news-details/2024/EVgo-and-Toyota-Extend-Agreement-to-Provide-One-Year-of-Complimentary-Fast-Charging-to-2024-bZ4X-Customers/default.aspx">expanded partnership</a> with <strong>Toyota</strong> (NYSE:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/tm-stock-quote/"><strong>TM</strong></a></span>).</p>



<p>Furthermore, EVgo said that later in 2024 it will <a href="https://www.evgo.com/press-release/evgo-doubles-down-on-commitment-to-begin-nacs-deployments-in-2024/">start adding NACS connections</a> to its fast-charge network.</p>



<h2>Panasonic (PCRFY)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/pcrfy1600a-300x169.jpg" alt="A Panasonic (PCRFY) sign hanging in Beijing, China. generation z"><div>Source: testing/Shutterstock.com</div></div><p><strong>Panasonic</strong>&nbsp;(OTCMKTS:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/pcrfy-stock-quote/"><strong>PCRFY</strong></a></span>) is adopting Titan Silicon anode material from <strong>Sila Nanotechnologies</strong> to create better EV batteries with greater energy.</p>



<p>In addition, Panasonic <a href="https://www.kansascommerce.gov/2022/07/kansas-lands-4b-4000-job-panasonic-energy-electric-vehicle-battery-plant/">is investing $4 billion</a> in De Soto, Kansas, to construct the world&rsquo;s largest EV battery facility, which will create jobs for 4,000 people and provide <strong>Tesla</strong> (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/tsla-stock-quote/"><strong>TSLA</strong></a>) with high-capacity lithium-ion batteries.</p>



<p>Panasonic Energy batteries will be <a href="https://news.panasonic.com/global/press/en240520-2">used in the upcoming</a> <strong>Tern</strong> zero-emission automobiles. This is their first industrial car. In collaboration with <strong>Hexagon Purus</strong> (OTCMKTS:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/hpurf-stock-quote/"><strong>HPURF</strong></a></span>) and <strong>Hino Motors</strong> (OTCMKTS:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/hinoy-stock-quote/"><strong>HINOY</strong></a></span>), this project produces batteries for the U.S. market for the RC8, a battery-electric Class 8 tractor.</p>



<p>Moreover, Panasonic plans to double its production of batteries for electric vehicles by 2030 <a href="https://holdings.panasonic/global/corporate/panasonic-green-impact/challenge.html">as part of the Green IMPACT initiative</a>; Panasonic hopes to reach net-zero emissions and eliminate 300 million tons of CO2 emissions by 2050.</p>



<p>Another step in the right direction is that Panasonic and <strong>Novonix</strong> (OTCMKTS:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/nvnfx-stock-quote/"><strong>NVNFX</strong></a></span>) <a href="https://na.panasonic.com/us/news/panasonic-energy-partners-novonix-sustainable-synthetic-graphite-supply-ev-battery-production">have teamed to acquire</a> synthetic graphite for EV batteries.<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/-stock-quote/"></a></span> Panasonic intends to use this agreement to improve its supply chain and cut its carbon footprint from 2022 levels by 50% by 2031.</p>



<p>Aside from its EV intentions, investors can take solace in Panasonic&rsquo;s revenue diversity since it can keep investing in EVs while having diversification buffer its performance; analysts are predicting an upside of 48.5%.</p>

Ride the EV Wave: 3 Overlooked Stocks Fueling the Electric Vehicle Revolution

<p><a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a></p>
<p>Investing in solid-state <a href="https://investorplace.com/industries/energy/renewable-energy/battery/">battery stocks</a> can be lucrative for many investors given that there are numerous trends spearheading its development</p>



<p>New approaches to the creation of large-scale production <a href="https://www.securities.io/anode-free-sodium-solid-state-batteries-could-reduce-reliance-on-the-lithium-triangle/">processes</a> and the enhancement of battery capability are the main areas of concern for companies. Advancements include the choice of materials for the solid electrolyte and the decrease of the production costs. For example, some firms are developing technologies that can leverage existing lithium-ion production facilities, which can reduce capital costs and time to market.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Many leading automobile and technology organizations are spending huge sums to develop solid state batteries and are entering into alliances to fast-track the research. For instance, the links between automobile companies and battery producers will help in the development and integration of solid state batteries in electric vehicles.&nbsp;</p>



<p>I foresee great potential for investors to get impressive gains from investing in solid-state battery stocks. Here are three companies that are worthy of investor attention.</p>



<h2>QuantumScape (QS)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/qs1600-1-300x169.png" alt="QuantumScape (QS) is an American company that develops solid state lithium metal batteries for electric cars."><div>Source: JHVEPhoto / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p><strong>QuantumScape </strong>(NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/qs-stock-quote/"><strong>QS</strong></a>) is at the forefront of solid-state battery technology and is a potential threat to traditional battery technology in the electric vehicle industry. </p>



<p>The battery maker has already achieved several important technical <a href="https://www.volkswagen-group.com/en/press-releases/powerco-confirms-results-quantumscapes-solid-state-cell-passes-first-endurance-test-18031/download?disposition=attachment">milestones</a>, such as proving their material&rsquo;s ability to withstand more than 1,000 charge-discharge cycles, maintaining more than 95 percent of its initial capacity.&nbsp;</p>



<p>An EV charged with QuantumScape&rsquo;s batteries could drive 500,000 kilometers before the range started to degrade noticeably. Also, the <a href="https://ir.quantumscape.com/resources/press-releases/news-details/2024/QuantumScape-Begins-Customer-Shipments-of-Alpha-2-Prototypes-a-Key-Goal-for-2024/default.aspx">company</a> achieved its primary 2024 goal early, having begun customer shipments of the Alpha-2 prototype cells.&nbsp;</p>



<p>I think that QS is one of those solid-state battery stocks investors should have on their radar. Given its disruptive potential as well as the promising technical milestones achieved, QuantumScape could potentially become a multi-bagger if the pieces fall into place.</p>



<h2>Solid Power (SLDP)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/sldp_solid_power_1600-300x169.png" alt="Smartphone with logo of American battery company Solid Power Inc. on screen in front of business website. Focus on center-left of phone display."><div>Source: T. Schneider / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p>Colorado-based startup <strong>Solid Power </strong>(NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/sldp-stock-quote/"><strong>SLDP</strong></a>) is another solid-state battery stock with the power to disrupt the EV market. Due to its three well-placed partners <strong>BMW</strong> (OTCMKTS:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/bmwyy-stock-quote/"><strong>BMWYY</strong></a></span>), <strong>Ford </strong>(NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/f-stock-quote/"><strong>F</strong></a>) and <strong>SK On</strong>, Solid Power is well-positioned and supported to take their technology to the market. BMW has tested Solid Power&rsquo;s Sample A-2 silicon-anode batteries and intends to <a href="https://www.electrive.com/2023/11/09/bmw-receives-first-solid-state-cells-from-solid-power/">produce</a> a demo car with the technology in the future.</p>



<p>From a financial perspective, Solid Power is also in good <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/solid-power-inc-sldp-q1-215352497.html">shape</a>. It has $146 million in cash and $232 million in long-term investments, which will be enough to support operations till 2026. The company expects to have a lower cash burn rate in the future as it reaches certain development markers with its partners.</p>



<p>SLDP&rsquo;s risk profile is slightly lower than many other solid-state battery stocks in my opinion given the liquidity on its balance sheet and its existing partnerships.</p>



<h2>Toyota (TM)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/toyota-tm-stock-1600-300x169.jpg" alt="Toyota motor corporation logo on dealership building"><div>Source:  josefkubes / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p><strong>Toyota</strong> (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/tm-stock-quote/"><strong>TM</strong></a>) has heavily invested in solid-state battery technology, which can provide a big boost to the company&rsquo;s electric vehicle ambitions. The Japanese automaker is one of the key players and plans to start the mass production of the <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/toyota-roll-out-solid-state-battery-evs-couple-years-india-executive-says-2024-01-11/">batteries</a> for their EVs by 2027 at the earliest.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Toyota&rsquo;s executives say the new touch-and-go batteries offer a 750-mile range per charge while only taking 10 minutes to charge. This would solve some EV buyer <a href="https://technode.com/2024/04/16/chinas-gac-declares-a-breakthrough-in-all-solid-state-battery-development/">concerns</a> such as range and charging time. Toyota plans to work with <strong>Idemitsu Kosan </strong>(OTCMKTS:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/idkoy-stock-quote/"><strong>IDKOY</strong></a></span>) to manufacture the solid-state batteries.</p>



<p>It remains unclear when solid-state batteries will become commercially available on a larger scale. Toyota&rsquo;s current technological advancement and collaborations, however. position the company to seize the opportunity of this future-generation battery technology. As the world&rsquo;s biggest automaker, Toyota can promote solid-state batteries as one of the most competitive solutions for EVs today.</p>



<h2>Panasonic (PCRFY)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/pcrfy1600a-300x169.jpg" alt="A Panasonic (PCRFY) sign hanging in Beijing, China. generation z"><div>Source: testing/Shutterstock.com</div></div><p><strong>Panasonic</strong> (OTCMKTS:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/pcrfy-stock-quote/"><strong>PCRFY</strong></a></span>) is a key player in the battery industry due to its research and development in solid-state battery technology. Yet it isn&rsquo;t <a href="https://cleantechnica.com/2023/09/15/panasonic-eyes-solid-state-batteries-but-not-for-evs-yet/">currently</a> focusing EV solid-state batteries. Instead, the company plans to bring the technology to the market for <a href="https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Technology/Panasonic-to-produce-solid-state-battery-for-drones-by-2029">drones</a> and industrial robots by 2029. This could be significant.&nbsp;</p>



<p>It is claimed the company has solved a major drawback of solid-state batteries, which is their limited usage life. Panasonic&rsquo;s new batteries are solid-state and they can handle many thousands of charging and discharging cycles.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Indeed, Panasonic may not be able to enter the EV market with solid-state batteries as early as Toyota. However, Panasonic&rsquo;s technological developments and production experience put the company in a good place to leverage the transition to solid-state batteries as the battery technology of choice across numerous industries. It makes Panasonic one of those solid-state battery stocks to buy.</p>



<h2>Albemarle (ALB)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/lithium1600-300x169.jpg" alt="lithium (LI) on the periodic table. top performing lithium stocks"><div>Source: Shutterstock</div></div><p><strong>Albemarle</strong> (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/alb-stock-quote/"><strong>ALB</strong></a>) is one of the largest lithium producers in the world despite not owning a battery factory. Rather it is scaling lithium extraction from its current operations in Arkansas.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The company foresees a 2.5x increase in lithium <a href="https://investors.albemarle.com/financials/quarterly-results/default.aspx">demand</a> from 2024 to 2030. That will require significant new lithium production capacity. That is a key reason it is still one of the top solid-state battery stocks to consider.</p>



<p>But there&rsquo;s more to be bullish about when it comes to ALB. The miner has strong lithium reserves, a fortress-like <a href="https://stockanalysis.com/stocks/alb/statistics/">balance sheet</a> and debt that is declining. It is therefore well positioned to manage near-term lithium price risks. Additionally, Albemarle is a prominent global lithium producer that can create alliances with new solid-state battery developers. It guarantees control of the crucial lithium supply when the new generation of this technology picks up momentum.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Arcadium Lithium (ALTM)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/lithium1600d-300x169.jpg" alt="Graphic of Lithium scientific symbol (Li) in the shape of a big white gear with construction equipment and mountain around it. favorite Lithium stocks"><div>Source: GrAl / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p><strong>Arcadium Lithium</strong> (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/altm-stock-quote/"><strong>ALTM</strong></a>) is well-placed to benefit from lithium&rsquo;s requirement as a key raw material for developing solid-state batteries. It is a leader in the production of lithium compounds and chemicals such as lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide. I think Arcadium is in a good position to meet the need for raw materials for solid-state batteries.</p>



<p>Arcadium owns 100% of <a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/arcadium-lithium-releases-first-quarter-2024-results-302138760.html">lithium projects located</a> in Argentina, including the Fenix, Olaroz, Sal De Vida and Cauchari projects. It also owns a lithium hydroxide facility in Bessemer City. Moreover, it has joint ventures in China, Japan and Canada. This gives it diversification in geography and proximity to low-cost production sources. That makes Arcadium a suitable partner for lithium for carmakers and battery producers as they scale up the production of solid-state batteries.</p>



<p>After recently completing its merger, ALTM could be on its way to realizing synergies and extracting the most value from its asset base. It means it could also potentially be undervalued at under $4 per share.</p>



<h2>Nissan (NSANY)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/nissan1600-nsany-300x169.jpg" alt="Closeup logo nissan car with soft-focus and over light in the background"><div>Source: Memory Stockphoto / Shutterstock</div></div><p><strong>Nissan</strong> (OTCMKTS:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/nsany-stock-quote/"><strong>NSANY</strong></a>) is another automaker developing solid-state batteries. They are expected to provide several <a href="https://electrek.co/2024/04/16/nissan-steps-up-all-solid-state-ev-battery-plans/">breakthrough</a> improvements. In particular, the offer twice the energy density of current lithium-ion batteries, better performance that results in faster charging times and reduced costs from using relatively cheaper materials. This technology will be applied across numerous vehicle types, including pickup trucks. It will help the company bring its EVs up to par.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Building on its experience with the Leaf model, Nissan is well-prepared to bring this revolutionary solid-state battery to the market.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Toyota has faced challenges concerning the timelines of solid-state batteries. Nissan&rsquo;s <a href="https://global.nissannews.com/en/releases/nissan-shows-in-construction-all-solid-state-battery-pilot-line-in-japan">target</a> of 2028, on the other hand, and its new pilot production line shows Nissan might be in a position to overtake the competition in this important next-gen battery race.</p>



<p>This gives NSANY a very attractive growth angle for investors in addition to being one of the most popular car manufacturers in the world.</p>
