QuantumScape shares surge 54% in two days as manufacturing breakthrough fuels investor optimism
By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on June 26, 2025, 20:08 IST Shares of QuantumScape Corporation (NYSE: QS) continued their remarkable rally on Thursday, June 26, rising nearly 19% to $6.80, following a 35% surge on Wednesday. The two-day rally marks a staggering 54% gain, driven by investor enthusiasm after the company announced a major breakthrough in its manufacturing process for solid-state lithium-metal batteries. On Tuesday, QuantumScape revealed that its Cobra ceramic separator process has now become the new standard for its battery cell production lines. The company said Cobra significantly accelerates production throughput—processing battery cell components 25 times faster than earlier methods while requiring only a fraction of the equipment footprint. This development is expected to lay the foundation for QuantumScape to scale up to gigafactory-level production capacity. CEO Siva Sivaram highlighted that Cobra will enable faster manufacturing, better battery life, shorter charging times, and reduced production costs. Solid-state batteries are considered the future of electric vehicle (EV) power sources, offering higher energy density and faster charging times compared to conventional lithium-ion batteries. The announcement holds strategic importance for Volkswagen, which owns a 24% stake in QuantumScape and has invested $380 million in the startup since 2012. Volkswagen recently signed a deal to license QuantumScape's manufacturing technology for mass production of solid-state batteries. QuantumScape also stated that it has entered sampling agreements with other original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), including both mainstream and luxury automakers, signaling growing commercial interest. The surge comes despite the stock being down over 40% over the last five years, even with this week's jump. Analysts say this breakthrough could reinvigorate investor sentiment and renew optimism about QuantumScape's long-term potential in the EV battery market.

DeepSeek R2 launch delayed as CEO remains unsatisfied with progress, says report
By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on June 26, 2025, 20:23 IST Chinese artificial intelligence startup DeepSeek has postponed the launch of its much-anticipated R2 model, with CEO Liang Wenfeng reportedly unhappy with its current performance, according to a Reuters report citing The Information. The R2 model, intended as an advanced successor to DeepSeek's widely used R1 reasoning model, was initially scheduled for release in May. The new model aimed to deliver stronger coding abilities and enhanced reasoning across multiple languages beyond English. However, according to sources cited by The Information, DeepSeek engineers have been refining the model for months, awaiting final approval from Liang before any release. Adding to the challenges, the rollout of R2 could face major hurdles due to a shortage of Nvidia server chips in China, driven by recent U.S. export restrictions. This supply crunch has raised concerns among top Chinese cloud providers, many of whom currently use Nvidia's H20 chips to run DeepSeek's R1 model. DeepSeek has been in discussions with Chinese cloud firms, sharing technical specifications for potential R2 deployment once the green light is given. However, U.S. curbs imposed in April have barred Nvidia from selling even the H20 chips—the only AI processors it was legally allowed to export to China until recently. DeepSeek did not immediately respond to Reuters' request for comment on the delay.

Nvidia stock continues upward march as analysts boost targets on surging AI chip demand
By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on June 26, 2025, 20:04 IST Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) shares climbed another 1.1% in early trading on Thursday, extending gains after hitting a record high above $154 the previous day. The rally comes on the back of renewed bullishness across Wall Street for the AI chip sector. Loop Capital analyst Ananda Baruah raised his Nvidia price target to $250 on Wednesday—the highest among Wall Street analysts currently tracked by Yahoo Finance. Baruah's target implies Nvidia's market capitalization could reach a staggering $6 trillion in the coming years. He predicts the total addressable market for AI chips could surge to $2 trillion by 2028. Baruah said, 'We are entering the next 'Golden Wave' of Gen AI adoption and Nvidia is at the forefront of another material leg of stronger-than-anticipated demand.' He cited emerging demand from governments, significant commitments from Big Tech hyperscalers, and the rollout of Nvidia's latest Blackwell AI chips. Bank of America's Vivek Arya also weighed in, forecasting AI chip demand could reach $650 billion by 2030, up from $201 billion in 2025. Arya called Nvidia the 'key beneficiary,' citing its clear technological lead over new entrants. Adding further momentum, Micron Technology (NASDAQ: MU), a key Nvidia supplier, reported better-than-expected Q3 earnings, driven by strong demand for AI-related memory chips. Despite some investor concerns about monetization challenges and growing competition from emerging AI firms like China's DeepSeek, Nvidia continues to ride the AI investment wave that has driven its valuation higher through 2025.
