QuantumScape Q2 2026 net loss narrows to $98.2 million from $114.7 million

Positive Impact 3 of 5 earnings Written later

QuantumScape reported second-quarter 2026 results, with a net loss of $98.2 million, or $0.16 per share, versus a net loss of $114.7 million, or $0.20 per share, a year earlier. The company reiterated its full-year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA loss guidance of $250 million to $275 million and lowered its capital expenditure guidance to $27 million to $37 million, which matters to shareholders because it signals lower spending while the company remains pre-revenue on a reported basis.

Key points

  • Q2 2026 GAAP net loss was $98.2 million, or $0.16 per share, compared with $114.7 million, or $0.20 per share, in Q2 2025.
  • Q2 2026 Adjusted EBITDA loss was $64.2 million, compared with $63.0 million a year earlier, which the company said was in line with expectations.
  • Full-year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA loss guidance of $250 million to $275 million was reiterated; full-year capital expenditure guidance was lowered to $27 million to $37 million.
  • Liquidity was $859.0 million at the end of Q2 2026, and customer billings were $10.8 million in the quarter, which the company said is not a substitute for revenue under U.S. GAAP.
