Analysis · BLNK · Manufacturing
Blink Charging delivered a markedly improved second quarter, with the net loss shrinking to $6.0M from $29.3M a year ago, gross margin climbing to 38.9%, and the adjusted EBITDA loss improving 72% to just $2.2M. The turnaround is clearly gaining traction—operating expenses were slashed 57% and cash burn slowed. Yet the full-year revenue guide was cut to $83M–$90M from $105M–$115M, a roughly 20% reduction at the midpoint. Management attributes the reset to a deliberate pivot toward higher-quality revenue and the Envoy divestiture, but the market must weigh the near-term top-line reset against the path to profitability. With $34M in cash and a target of adjusted EBITDA breakeven by year-end, the company has runway, though the lowered guidance raises questions about the pace of the recovery.
