Blink Charging’s second quarter was marked by sequential revenue growth, but the market reacted negatively due to ongoing losses and margin pressures. Management attributed the quarter’s performance to a rebound in product sales, especially DC fast chargers and Level 2 units, and a continued increase in service revenues. CEO Michael Battaglia highlighted, “We began seeing signs of demand improvement at the start of the second quarter, and that materialized across April, May and June.” The company also noted progress in cost reduction initiatives, though nonrecurring expenses and asset impairments weighed on overall profitability.

While we enjoy listening to the management's commentary, our favorite part of earnings calls are the analyst questions. Those are unscripted and can often highlight topics that management teams would rather avoid or topics where the answer is complicated. Here is what has caught our attention.

Our Top 5 Analyst Questions From Blink Charging’s Q2 Earnings Call

• Craig Irwin (ROTH Capital Partners) asked about margin dynamics given the mix of DC fast chargers. CEO Michael Battaglia explained that while DC fast chargers have lower margins, higher-margin Series products and Zemetric units should help maintain overall gross margins at historical Blink levels.
• Craig Irwin (ROTH Capital Partners) questioned the drivers of sequential growth. Battaglia responded that improvement is expected to be broad-based, spanning product sales, service revenue, and other segments, not confined to a single business line.
• Craig Irwin (ROTH Capital Partners) inquired about progress toward neutral cash usage. CFO Michael Bercovich said the recent burn rate was elevated due to one-time costs but improvements in working capital and expense reductions should lead to better cash flows in coming quarters.
• Sameer S. Joshi (H.C. Wainwright) sought clarification on the Envoy settlement’s financial impact. Battaglia confirmed the agreement fully eliminated the company’s prior payment obligations, strengthening the balance sheet and removing a lingering liability.
• Christopher Alan Pierce (Needham) asked how the Zemetric acquisition addresses gaps in Blink’s product offering. Battaglia stated Zemetric brings cost-optimized chargers for fleets and multifamily, as well as network and CPO (charge point operator) business opportunities, and adds key technical talent to the company.
