Where Will ChargePoint Stock Be in 1 Year?
ChargePoint's revenues are still declining in this challenging market. Its margins are improving, and a cyclical turnaround could be around the corner. Its stock looks undervalued relative to its growth potential. 10 stocks we like better than ChargePoint › ChargePoint (NYSE: CHPT), the leading builder of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations in North America and Europe, posted its latest earnings report on June 4. For the first quarter of fiscal 2026, which ended on April 30, the company's revenue fell 9% year over year to $97.6 million, missing analysts' expectations by $2.9 million. It narrowed its net loss from $71.8 million to $57.1 million, or $0.12 per share, which cleared the consensus forecast by a penny. ChargePoint's stock rallied after that mixed earnings report, but it's still down about 60% over the past 12 months. Will it stabilize and recover over the following year? ChargePoint ended its first quarter with more than 352,000 charging ports, including over 35,000 DC fast chargers, under its direct management. Its roaming partnerships also grant its customers access to more than 1.25 million charging ports across the world. ChargePoint mainly sells connected charging stations to residential and commercial properties that want to host their own chargers and set their own prices. It provides those hosts with network access, billing, and customer support services. That sets it apart from Tesla's Superchargers, which mainly serve as extensions of the automaker and offer fewer connected and customizable features. ChargePoint grew rapidly in fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2023 (which ended in January 2023), as EV sales surged in the post-pandemic market. But in fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2025, its growth stalled out as rising interest rates chilled the EV market and drove its residential and commercial customers to postpone their installations of new charging stalls. But in fiscal 2025, its adjusted gross, operating, and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) margins all improved as it narrowed its net loss. Its margins continued to expand in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, even as its revenue declined. Metric FY 2022 FY 2023 FY 2024 FY 2025 Q1 2026 Revenue $242 million $468 million $507 million $417 million $98 million Growth (YOY) 65% 93% 8% (18%) (9%) Adjusted gross margin 24% 20% 8% 26% 31% Operating margin (110%) (73%) (89%) (61%) (55%) Net income (loss) ($299 million) ($345 million) ($458 million) ($283 million) ($57 million) Adjusted EBITDA N/A ($217 million) ($273 million) ($117 million) ($23 million) Data source: ChargePoint. YOY = Year-over-year. FY = fiscal year. EBITDA = earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. ChargePoint attributes those margin improvements to the growth of its higher-margin subscription and software services -- which offset the lower margins of its chargers -- a big reduction in its inventories, and sweeping cost-cutting initiatives. ChargePoint expects to generate $90 million to $100 million in revenue in the second quarter, which would represent a decline of 8% to 17% from a year ago. During the earnings call, CFO Mansi Khetani said the company was "guiding with caution due to the continued changes in the macro environment, including tariff uncertainty" and its focus on integrating its charging stalls with Eaton's electrical grid solutions through a new one-stop shop partnership. ChargePoint didn't provide a full-year revenue outlook. However, it reiterated its goal of achieving a positive adjusted EBITDA in a single quarter of fiscal 2026. Analysts expect its revenue to come in nearly flat for the full year, which implies its revenue growth will improve in the second half of the year as the macroenvironment warms up and the EV market stabilizes. They expect its annual adjusted EBITDA to improve to negative $63 million. ChargePoint's growth may seem anemic right now, but it still has enough liquidity to ride out the near-term headwinds. It ended the first quarter with $196 million in cash and cash equivalents, it hasn't drawn a single dollar from its $150 million revolving credit facility, and it won't face any debt maturities until 2028. For fiscal 2027, analysts expect ChargePoint's revenue to rise 29% to $537 million with a negative adjusted EBITDA of $16 million. For fiscal 2028, they expect its revenue to grow 33% to $713 million with a positive adjusted EBITDA of $67 million. We should take those optimistic estimates with a grain of salt, but its cyclical downturn could represent a good buying opportunity for investors who can tune out the near-term noise. With an enterprise value of $465 million, it looks extremely undervalued at just over 1 times this year's sales. If ChargePoint meets analysts' expectations and trades at just 2 times its forward sales by the beginning of fiscal 2027, its stock price could easily rally more than 130% over the next 12 months.

3 Reasons to Buy Floor & Decor Stock Like There's No Tomorrow
Floor & Decor's business model earned praise from an all-time great investor, and it has large expansion plans. The stock's valuation is more attractive than usual and it's unlikely to get much cheaper tomorrow. 10 stocks we like better than Floor & Decor › In 2017, home improvement retail chain Floor & Decor Holdings (NYSE: FND) went public. It only had about 70 locations and was still virtually unknown. And investors could have bought it at any time during the past eight years. But now it's time to buy Floor & Decor stock like there's no tomorrow. Of course, that's just an expression -- there will be a tomorrow for Floor & Decor, and I believe it will be great for shareholders. That's why I believe it's worth the investment today. But when it comes to buying the stock at an attractive price, I don't think that investors should necessarily wait until tomorrow, hoping for any entry point that's better than this. The valuation is my third reason to buy Floor & Decor stock today. But first allow me to explain two other reasons why it's a good buy right now. Before he passed away in 2023, Charlie Munger was renowned for being a great investor and one who was focused on business fundamentals. Therefore, when he praises a business model, it's a big deal. And in one of his final interviews, Munger praised Floor & Decor. There are two extremes in retail. One approach is to have a lot of little stores -- GameStop fits in this category. It ended 2024 with over 3,200 locations, which is massive. But each location only had just over $1 million in annual sales. The other approach is to have relatively few stores that handle massive volume, which is Floor & Decor's business model and what Munger loved about it. It follows the same logic as one of his favorite businesses, Costco Wholesale. Floor & Decor only has around 250 locations today and it only expects to have around 500 long term. But each is between 50,000 square feet and 80,000 square feet. And with $4.5 billion in overall trailing-12-month revenue, these 250 stores are certainly high volume. High-volume stores can serve Floor & Decor by creating operating leverage, leading to strong profitability. It's something to watch as the business grows. As mentioned, Floor & Decor is looking to grow to at least 500 locations in coming years. Here in 2025, it's looking to open 20 new stores, which is about 8% growth. But keep in mind that this growth is slow by this company's standards. Given the economic uncertainty right now, management pulled back on this year's plans. Ordinarily, shareholders can expect Floor & Decor to open new locations at a faster rate as it expands toward its long-term goal. But opening new stores isn't the only growth strategy. The company owns another business called Spartan Surfaces, which does flooring installations for commercial properties, such as hospitals. This is a great ancillary business idea for Floor & Decor. Circling back to the business model, there's a ceiling to the opportunity with its retail locations -- it doesn't want a lot of low-volume stores. But it can still leverage its infrastructure with this ancillary commercial business. Between sales growth, new stores, and newer ideas, I believe that Floor & Decor can double its revenue in the next five years or so. That's a good opportunity for investors. It's widely agreed that Home Depot is a great business, but even the most bullish shareholders would have to concede that its growth prospects are somewhat slim. Floor & Decor's growth outlook is much better. And yet, in spite of this, the price-to-sales (P/S) valuation for Home Depot stock is much more expensive. One might object to my valuation comparison, pointing to Home Depot's superior profit margins, which is true. That said, a growth company such as Floor & Decor shouldn't be expected to be optimized for profits in the same way as a mature business such as Home Depot. During the pandemic-fueled home improvement spending boom, Floor & Decor had a profit margin of over 8%, which is about what Home Depot's margin is now. Therefore, the company is capable of better -- it's proved it. And even during this period of sluggish flooring sales, it still has a profit margin of about 5%. In other words, Floor & Decor stock is cheap when looking at its growth prospects. Those who think it should be cheaper because of its lower profit margins might not be seeing the whole picture. I've long believed Floor & Decor is simple idea and yet a strong multibagger investment opportunity. That hasn't changed. But now that this American stock is trading at one of its cheapest valuations ever, and even at a discount to more mature businesses such as Home Depot, I believe now is the time to buy Floor & Decor stock like there's no tomorrow. Before you buy stock in Floor & Decor, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the for investors to buy now… and Floor & Decor wasn't one of them. The 10 stocks that made the cut could produce monster returns in the coming years.
