Over about 2 years to 2026-07-31. This is the share price only; any dividends would add to it. And it's the USD return - as a UK investor your actual £ return also moves with the exchange rate. Past performance is not a guide to the future, and it could just as easily have fallen.

Bumpier than the market

Based on beta - how much the price swings versus the whole market. Bumpier isn't bad; it just means a rougher ride, which matters more the sooner you might need the money.

Prices move on results, news and the mood of the whole market - no single headline explains a day, and a quiet week is usually just noise, not a signal.

The bull case

ChargePoint becomes the dominant standard for EV charging infrastructure.

The bear case

Technological shifts or lack of funding make the business model unsustainable.

What does ChargePoint Holdings, Inc. do?

Think of ChargePoint as the operator of a massive, digital petrol station network for electric vehicles. Selling the charging hardware to businesses, plus a subscription fee for the software that manages those stations, is how it earns. Their fortunes hinge on turning a growing network into actual profit, as they currently spend more to run the business than they bring in from sales.
