Eos Energy Enterprises Inc (EOSE) is a roughly $5 billion market cap company that became public in January 2021. Like many companies, it took a post-Covid 2022 drop, based out in 2023 and started to ramp back toward the highs in 2025 as the quest to power this artificial intelligence revolution rages on. We just added the name to our Active Opps portfolio, hoping to put a “charge” into our portfolio returns. With the realized volatility in this name, please be sure you understand risk management before you consider following us in. The monthly chart is showing a move up to what I call the retracement of last resort. Specifically when a reaction to a significant trend recaptures about three-fourths of that significant move, we deem the market to be in a new trend. Post-IPO, the stock dropped from $32 down to 60 cents. The market has recaptured three-fourths of that massive decline in percentage terms. If we break above the prior four-month high at around $18, we should be cleared to retest and possibly exceed the former $32 all-time highs. Take a look at the lower panel revenue growth since 2024; 852% this fiscal year, and 211% expected in 2026. GAAP profitability is not expected until 2027, but this is the kind of momentum AI-powered company that is trading on topline growth, which requires a skilled risk manager to hold a name like this. This company makes large-scale batteries using zinc chemistry to store renewable power when the sun isn’t shining or the wind isn’t blowing. You can think of Eos like a power bank for big cities and data centers. Just like our iPhones store power in a lithium battery, Eos store selectricity generated from renewables for the grid. But there are key differences between zinc and lithium-ion battery solutions, which is where the opportunity in EOSE presents itself. According to EOSE.com website , “The EOS Z3 is a zinc-powered aqueous liquid battery module. It’s the intraday market’s only U.S.-designed and -manufactured — and fully-commercialized — alternative to lithium-ion and lead-acid monopolar batteries critical for 3- to 12-hour discharge applications. Our latest generation EosZ3 batteries modules sets new standards in simplicity, safety, durability, flexibility, and availability.” So in simple language, why are zinc solutions superior to lithium? Lithium-ion batteries were optimized for mobility (phones, EV) not stationary grid storage. That key difference creates real problems when trying to scale for the grid. Lithium-ion uses flammable organic electrolytes that can overheat and start disastrous fires, which insurance companies and permitting entities despise. Zinc batteries use water-based (aqueous) electrolytes with no flammable solvents, which limits those fire concerns. Lithium-ion degrades with every charting cycle as zinc handles deep cycling better. Zinc chemistry handles degradation much better than lithium, which makes infrastructure updates much less frequent and more cost effective. There is also less geopolitical constraints with mining zinc. Though China is a major zinc producer, the world is already mining zinc at scale from Peru, Australia, U.S., Mexico and Canada. Eos avoids the inputs to lithium-ion batteries that are harder to source due to geopolitics such as lithium, cobalt and nickel. In October, Eos Energy and Talen Energy Corporation (TLN) announced a strategic collaboration to work together on developing large-scale energy storage projects on Talen’s assets in Pennsylvania. The goal is to pair Eos’s zinc-based storage solutions with Talen’s power generation portfolio to better manage grid demand and renewables, including nuclear. While the partnership does not directly link EOSE to Amazon, Talen struck a long-term agreement with Amazon to power AWS data centers and cloud infrastructure. That deal will run for years and supports AWS’s desire for carbon-free power solutions. The next earnings report is not until March 3, but analysts are expecting a doozy with a 91% quarter-over-quarter growth in EPS and 1,170% revenue growth. I think the market will continue to ride this stock higher into that report. Rounding out the story with an execution-level daily chart, we can see the possible path to re-test the all-time highs. The mid-summer 2025 ramp with accompanying walls of blue accumulation volume likely preceded that EOSE/TLN collaboration, which then sets up a correction/consolidation/profit-taking with lesser volume that I would consider distribution. More buyers than sellers? On Monday we added a small position in our “fast money” Active Opps portfolio of EOSE. I sized on the small side because I see the trade invalidation as far down as $12.75, or 25% lower. That’s a bigger percentage drawdown/risk than I normally trade, but the upside objective is almost 90% higher from here so that risk/reward math works. This trade accompanies our holding of TLN, a much calmer, established, lower-beta name, in our calmer growth portfolio at Inside Edge Capital. -Todd Gordon, Founder of Inside Edge Capital, LLCWe offer active stock alerts, portfolio management, as well as regular market updates like theidea presented above here .
