Here's Why QuantumScape Is the Top Moonshot Stock on My Radar

The battery technology company isn't exactly a low-risk stock, but it could be transformative to the EV industry.

By Matt Frankel, CFP and John Rosevear – Sep 4, 2024 at 9:21AM EST

QuantumScape (QS +2.91%) is perhaps the ultimate example of a binary outcome stock.

But that's a big "if." In this video, Fool.com contributors Matt Frankel and John Rosevear discuss QuantumScape's latest developments and why they think it could make good sense from a risk-reward perspective.
