Read MoreHide Full Article
Blink Charging Co. (BLNK - Free Report) , an owner, operator and provider of EV charging stations and services, has been chosen by Power Design, Inc., one of the largest design-build multi-trade contractors in the United States, to supply EV chargers and related services at select locations.
Under the agreement, Blink Charging will provide 429 chargers with a total of 723 plugs for residents living and working on Power Design's projects nationwide. The chargers will primarily be installed in luxury multifamily apartments and condominiums. While Power Design will initially own the chargers, ownership will transfer to the projects' property owners or managers upon installation.
Blink Charging and Power Design have partnered on EV charging initiatives for over a decade and this new agreement marks the latest achievement in their ongoing collaboration. Over the last five years, Power Design has become a prominent installer of EV charging stations in the United States.
In the fiscal third quarter of 2024, Blink Charging reported total revenues of $25.2 million, which fell 41.9% year over year. Its service revenues rose 30% year over year to $8.8 million due to global network expansion and increasing demand for charging and networked services while its product revenues declined 61.6% year over year to $13.4 million.
Per Kelley Blue Book, EV sales in the United States hit record highs in the third quarter of 2024. The sales grew 11% year over year to 346,000 units and rose 5% from the second quarter of 2024. Globally, EVs made up 8.9% of new car sales, up from 7.8% in the third quarter of 2023. The surge in EV sales serves as a compelling indicator of the growth in demand for EV charging infrastructure. Blink Charging expects to capture this rising demand for EV charging infrastructure, which is likely to boost its top-line growth. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for BLNK’s 2025 revenues is pegged at $165.4 million. For the current year, the company expects its gross margin to expand approximately 33% from 29% in 2023. The consensus mark for 2024 and 2025 loss per share is pegged at $1.40 and 49 cents, respectively.
