What believers are saying

  • Q1 2026 revenue hits $6.7M, up 47%, guiding $30M-$35M for 2026 from three units.
  • $20M three-year deal with ATGE Power drives North American energy storage sales.
  • 929% YoY revenue growth to $21M in 2025 fuels $178M liquidity into 2028.

What critics are saying

  • QuantumScape's 800+ cycle solid-state batteries push Volkswagen to drop SES lithium-metal.
  • Solid Power ships 40Ah cells to BMW and Ford, stealing SES EV partnerships.
  • $20M Q1 2026 cash burn exhausts liquidity by mid-2028 without breakthroughs.

What makes SES AI unique

  • SES AI integrates AI-discovered electrolytes into lithium-metal batteries for EVs and drones.
  • Molecular Universe AI platform yields six new materials tested by over 40 customers.
  • Chungju facility produces NDAA-compliant drone cells with 1 million annual capacity.

The company reported $2 million in fourth-quarter revenue and projects 2025 revenue between $15 million and $25 million. SES AI is developing lithium-metal batteries for electric vehicles and has expanded into lithium-ion applications for humanoid robotics. The company signed a memorandum of understanding to provide up to 100 MWh of battery energy storage systems. Cash usage in operations and capital expenditure for 2024 was $78.3 million, below previous guidance. Analyst targets place fair value near $2.65 per share.

SES AI expects Q1 2026 revenue of $6.3M-$6.5M, affirms $30M-$35M full-year guidance

SES AI, a developer of AI-enhanced lithium-metal and lithium-ion batteries, expects first quarter 2026 revenue between $6.3 million and $6.5 million, above consensus estimates. The revenue is primarily driven by energy storage system products sold to UZ Energy, with additional contributions from drones and subscription services. The company affirmed its full year 2026 revenue guidance of $30 million to $35 million, expecting contributions from all three business units: energy storage systems, drones and advanced materials. First quarter results include approximately $1.5 million from orders delayed from fourth quarter 2025 due to logistics constraints. SES AI plans to report detailed first quarter results on 23 April 2026 and will host a conference call to discuss its financial performance and outlook.

SES AI pivots from lithium batteries to AI materials discovery

SES AI, a Massachusetts-based battery company, is pivoting from developing advanced lithium batteries to AI materials discovery, according to CEO Hu. Axiom Math, a California startup, has released a free AI tool designed to discover mathematical patterns that could solve long-standing problems. Unlike most AI tools that find solutions to existing problems, Axiom Math aims to spot previously unidentified patterns and hidden links that could generate entirely new mathematical ideas. Meanwhile, escalating conflict in Iran has caused fossil-fuel price volatility, which some electric vehicle owners view as an opportunity for EV adoption. However, sustained rises in fossil-fuel prices could have broader economic concerns beyond the automotive sector.
