Enovix (ENVX) Plans to Double Drone Battery Capacity. Is a $183M Pipeline Enough to Justify the Expansion?
Enovix (ENVX) plans to double drone battery production in South Korea by mid-2027, targeting 1M units/year. The expansion is backed by a $183M customer pipeline, though not all are firm orders. ENVX has $552.1M in cash. Q2 revenue was $9M, with a $43.3M operating loss.
