Model ⓘEach model values the company its own way (discounted cash flow, earnings, assets, dividends). The fair value above starts from their evidence-weighted blend, not from a single model. In cyclical trough or peak years, after dilution or a stock split it is adjusted afterwards, so it can sit above or below the models.Bear ⓘBear = the cautious scenario: the same model computed with conservative anchors (lower growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bull it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target.BaseBull ⓘBull = the optimistic scenario: the same model computed with favourable anchors (higher growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bear it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target. If a model's bull case is above four times its base value, the table shows that limit with a > sign (like the overall Bull above): beyond it no assumption holds.Coverage ⓘCoverage = how well-backed THIS model's estimate is for this stock (0–100): how complete and reliable its input data are, and how well the model fits the company. The final Fair Value is an evidence-weighted blend, so better-evidenced models count more. Green ≥70, amber 50–69, grey below 50.

AI conclusion: The early-stage battery developer shows promise in its new QS PowerBlock design for data-center storage but remains limited by absent commercial revenue and high cash burn with thin evidence of a durable moat.
Main risk: Delays in pilot-line progress would block both the data-center reference design and the automotive licensing model from reaching paid production.
QuantumScape is bringing its solid-state cells into AI data centers through the new QS PowerBlock reference design for in-rack storage, targeting higher power density and safety than conventional batteries in prototype tests. The core model stays a capital-light licensing play for automotive applications with long timelines to paid production. Will the data center push create faster paths to revenue than the existing EV partnerships, or will both depend on the same pilot-line progress?
