EX-99.1 2 ex991_evpressreleasex2026q2.htm EX-99.1 Document Exhibit 99.1 Energy Vault Reports Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results and Raises Full-Year 2026 Revenue and Gross Margin Guidance Contract Backlog expanded $650 million to $2 billion sequentially, up 47% q/q and 107% y/
How this was made
The 30-second read
Why it matters
The filing combines operational metrics (MW under control), financial results (revenue, gross margin, losses), and forward-looking guidance (revenue and GAAP gross margin) plus a new integrated power contract and backlog expansion, creating a clear repricing catalyst.
Market read
Traders get a same-day, primary-source guidance and backlog update that directly affects 2H 2026-2027 revenue and margin expectations.
What to watch
Backlog conversion timing (40% expected in 12-18 months) and project execution risk could cause volatility if deliveries slip or gross margin assumptions prove optimistic.
Background
This is an SEC Form 8-K (Item 2.02) with an earnings-style press release for Energy Vault’s quarter ended June 30, 2026.
Ticker impact
Energy Vault reports Q2 2026 results and raises full-year 2026 revenue guidance to $270-$310 million and GAAP gross margin to 20%-25%.
Likely positive near-term bias as traders reprice 2H 2026-2027 revenue and gross margin expectations; follow-through depends on execution of the Texas and AI infrastructure ramps.
The filing discloses multiple fresh, decision-relevant datapoints: raised revenue and GAAP gross margin guidance, backlog expansion to about $2B, and a specific $500-$600M revenue expectation through 2027 tied to a new 1.25 GW agreement.
Market effects
Supports sentiment for grid-scale storage and AI power infrastructure developers by reinforcing demand from AI compute infrastructure and recurring-offtake mix.
Highlights Texas AI power buildout and Japan BESS pipeline, which may influence regional project-financing expectations.
Signals continued global expansion of energy storage and AI infrastructure deployments, potentially affecting investor appetite for similar infrastructure platforms.
Counterpoint
Despite guidance increases, the company still reports large GAAP net losses and adjusted EBITDA losses, so margin and cash-flow durability may be questioned.
