Wallbox widened its first-half loss to €47.8 million even after trimming costs and restructuring its balance sheet, underscoring how weak demand and heavy financing needs continue to weigh on the EV charging maker’s turnaround.
Wallbox H1 loss widens to €47.8 million
The Spain-based company, which sells home and commercial charging hardware, is still burning cash in a sector that has cooled from the boom years. For investors, the key issue is not just the size of the loss but whether Wallbox can turn a recent refinancing and cost adjustment into sustained operating progress before liquidity pressure returns.
Wallbox reported second-quarter revenue of €23.9 million, with gross margin at 38% and an operating loss of €11 million, according to a July 30 filing. The company also raised fresh capital through a private placement in early July, part of a financing push that helped it shore up the balance sheet but did not yet translate into profit.
The market remains skeptical. Wallbox shares fell to $3.22 on July 31 from $6.11 on Oct. 10, with the stock now trading below both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages. RSI readings near 24 suggest the shares are deeply oversold, while the recent slide reflects investor concern that lower expenses alone may not be enough if revenue stays soft.
Wallbox sits in the same strained EV charging landscape as ChargePoint and EVgo, where competition is intense and customers remain sensitive to macro weakness and financing costs. The group’s peers have also faced falling share prices and persistent losses, reinforcing the view that the sector’s winners will be the companies that can fund growth without continuously diluting shareholders.
The next test is whether Wallbox can keep narrowing operating losses while stabilizing revenue in coming quarters. If demand fails to improve, the company may have to rely again on external financing, a prospect that keeps both the stock and the business model under pressure.
