Outlook and guidance
Q4 revenue is expected to grow ~10% QoQ and ESS shipments ~40% QoQ; operating profitability is expected to decline slightly as one-off gains end and Honda JV ESS operations add initial fixed costs.
2027 ESS volume is expected to grow meaningfully; North American ESS capacity is planned to exceed 70 GWh by end-2027, including prismatic lines.
North American cylindrical capacity targets 10 GWh by end-2026 and 20+ GWh by end-2027; 46-series production is planned by end-2026 for awarded projects.
LFP Tabless 2170 mass production is targeted for H1 2027; sodium-ion ESS samples are planned within 2026, with North American test shipments in 2027.
Long-term EV and ESS demand is expected to benefit from affordability, renewables and power needs from big tech and AI, though customer production plans and orders remain variable.
