Energy Vault, Turkey's Astor Enerji Launch Global Strategic Partnership with BESS Deployments Totalling 2 GWh and 1 GW Transformer Procurement from Astor Enerji
WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif. & ISTANBUL--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Energy Vault Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: NRGV), a global leader in grid-scale energy storage solutions, and Astor Enerji (BIST: ASTOR), a leading global manufacturer of high-quality power transformers and high-voltage equipment, today announced the signing of a Global Strategic Agreement to strengthen global supply chains for battery energy storage systems (BESS) and accelerate the deployment of large-scale energy storage and grid infrastructure across multiple markets. This global alliance brings together two fast-growing innovators in the power sector, united by a mission to enable power abundance — delivering the cost-effective and reliable clean electricity needed to fuel industrial growth, digital transformation and long-term economic prosperity. The partnership marks the formation of a powerful industrial alliance, aligning complementary strengths to unlock commercial and technological synergies — including supply chain efficiency, advanced system integration and accelerated execution for utility-scale projects. At a time when U.S. transformer wait times have stretched from 50 weeks to as long as 127 weeks, this collaboration directly addresses supply shortages by leveraging Astor Enerji's manufacturing capacity and global supply chain to ensure access to high-quality equipment from sources outside areas of U.S. concern. Under the agreement: Energy Vault will supply B-VAULT™ BESS solutions for Astor Enerji's four grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) projects in Romania, delivering a combined storage capacity of up to 2 gigawatt-hours (GWh). These systems will be integrated with Energy Vault's VaultOS™ energy management system platform for optimal performance and grid stability. Astor Enerji will provide transformers and high-voltage equipment for more than 1 gigawatt (GW) of Energy Vault BESS projects planned in the United States, Australia, and Europe, creating significant supply chain efficiencies across Energy Vault's global portfolio. By combining Energy Vault's portfolio of advanced long- and short-duration energy storage hardware solutions and AI-driven software platform with Astor Enerji's manufacturing scale and global delivery track record, the partnership unlocks operational efficiency, speeds time-to-market and strengthens grid infrastructure in high-growth regions. Energy Vault will source over 1 GW of transformers and high-voltage equipment from Astor to support its BESS projects, which are being developed and operated through Asset Vault — a fully owned subsidiary dedicated to building, owning, and operating energy storage assets in high-growth global markets. Backed by a recently announced $300 million preferred equity investment, Asset Vault underpins Energy Vault's independent power producer (IPP) strategy, enabling long-term revenues through bankable off-take agreements and merchant market participation. 'This partnership is about more than equipment supply — it's about aligning two high-growth companies to solve the most pressing challenges in the energy transition,' said Marco Terruzzin, Chief Revenue Officer, Energy Vault. 'Together, we are building the technology and supply chain capacity to meet surging power demand from AI data centers and the rapid adoption of renewable energy. This is how we deliver power abundance and economic growth on a global scale.' 'Energy Vault's innovative approach to energy storage, combined with their extensive global project pipeline, makes them an ideal partner as we expand our footprint in the rapidly growing battery storage sector,' said Olcay Doğan, Chief Financial Officer, Astor Enerji. 'This agreement builds on our mission to deliver the grid infrastructure needed for a sustainable energy future, and we are excited to create lasting commercial and technological value together.'

Bigbear.ai: BBAI Stock To $1?
(NYSE:BBAI), an AI solutions provider focused on national security, carries material downside risks that deserve close attention. Trading at 8x trailing revenue—nearly three times its four-year average of 3x—the stock appears highly exposed to market corrections. Historical precedent shows BBAI can drop 95% during periods of broader market stress, and multiple fundamental and technical factors point to further downside risk. We detail these risks below. If you prefer pursuing upside with less volatility than a single-stock position, consider the High Quality Portfolio. It has comfortably outperformed its benchmark—a blend of the S&P 500, Russell, and S&P MidCap indexes—and has delivered returns exceeding 91% since inception. Also see – SoundHound AI: SOUN Stock To $2? Historical Volatility Pattern BBAI's history shows extreme sensitivity to market drawdowns. The stock fell 95.0% from $12.69 (April 13, 2022) to $0.63 (December 29, 2022), while the S&P 500 declined just 25.4% over the inflation-driven selloff. The shares still haven't returned to prior highs, indicating structural fragility beyond normal cycles. Recent moves echo this pattern. A 6% drop on August 19, 2025, amid profit-taking in high-growth names underscores BBAI's hypersensitivity. A repeat 95% drawdown from the February 2024 high of $10 would put the stock below $1—a scenario with clear historical precedent. Valuation Vulnerability Fundamental Growth Impediments Government Dependency Concentration: Heavy reliance on federal contracts introduces several risks: Execution Capability Questions: Persistent revenue stagnation despite wins suggests operational hurdles: Market Saturation Risk: The defense AI market, while expanding, faces constraints: Broader macro risks compound these issues. As a loss-making company, BBAI is particularly sensitive to high interest rates, which typically pressure valuations for unprofitable firms. While geopolitical tensions currently support defense budgets, that tailwind is cyclical; normalization could weigh on AI defense funding. In risk-off markets, speculative names are often sold first, exposing BBAI to outsized downside. See – Buy or Fear BBAI Stock – for more. Of Course Not Everything Is Murky A sizable $380 million backlog provides visibility into future revenue. A $391 million cash balance offers an operating runway that reduces near-term liquidity risk. Continued geopolitical tensions could sustain or increase defense AI spending, benefiting The company also has room for operational improvements under new leadership—Kevin McAleenan as CEO and Sean Ricker as CFO—which could support efficiency and profitability. One of our earlier pieces on covered the positive catalysts at work. The Verdict For risk-averse investors, BBAI's downside risks currently outweigh the potential reward. Stretched valuation, execution challenges, extreme volatility, and a history of severe drawdowns argue for caution. Investors should be prepared for possible 60–90% declines during market stress, with sub-$1 levels representing a historically supported worst-case. The stock's failure to reclaim prior highs despite favorable markets hints at structural issues not yet fully reflected in valuation. Given today's risk-reward, waiting for materially lower entry points—or avoiding the name in conservative portfolios—appears prudent. Now, we apply a risk assessment framework while constructing the Trefis High Quality (HQ) Portfolio,which, with a collection of 30 stocks, has a track record of comfortably outperforming the S&P 500 over the last 4-year period. Why is that? As a group, HQ Portfolio stocks provided better returns with less risk versus the benchmark index; less of a roller-coaster ride as evident in HQ Portfolio performance metrics.
