Big money could flow into emerging energy technologies
Lithium and rare earth stocks lit up today after JPMorgan Chase launched a $1.5 trillion, 10-year plan to finance and invest in industries like critical minerals that are "essential" for national security, starting with a direct $10 billion equity and venture capital investment.
The announcement comes after a fresh escalation in the trade war between the U.S. and China following China's move to implement stricter export controls on essential materials like rare earths, lithium-ion batteries, and battery materials.
Eos Energy neither deals in lithium nor rare earth elements, but with JPMorgan Chase targeting industries like energy storage within the energy sector, Eos could benefit.
Eos Energy makes battery energy storage systems (BESS) using zinc instead of lithium. The company is rapidly scaling production, with an aim to nearly double it to 2 gigawatt-hours (GWh) by the fourth quarter of 2025 from around 1.25 GWh.
Earlier this month, Unico signed a multiyear partnership with Eos Energy, expanding its earlier five-year agreement to supply Eos with converters powered by its zinc battery systems.
Why are investors rushing to buy Eos Energy stock?
Eos Energy is a young company, generating $15.6 million in revenue last year. This year, it expects to generate $150 million to $190 million in revenue and currently sees a pipeline (revenue potential) worth over $18 billion.
Emerging technologies like BESS are critical for energy storage and uninterrupted power supply and should play a key role in meeting the high demand for power from artificial intelligence (AI) as data centers increase. That and Eos Energy's massive revenue growth target for 2025 explain why the stock is skyrocketing.
