The Bet ChargePoint Holders Made

If ChargePoint sat on your watchlist instead of in your portfolio, the past 12 months may feel like a missed shot. Holding ChargePoint over the past year would have returned 26.8%, including dividends. That outcome now sits alongside fresh headlines about a new European channel partner program and mixed views from analysts before November 2025. If the growth of high margin software and services was the key assumption, how could you have judged that early with limited data?

The easy part of this move is behind ChargePoint. Zero in on 33 high quality undervalued stocks for companies trading below our estimates.

The Two ChargePoint Stories Investors Had To Weigh

The shares cost US$9.77 at the start of the period, which left you choosing between two very different ChargePoint futures.

The optimistic narrative pointed to a Fair Value of US$12.72, a price implied by expectations for 15.4% annual revenue growth and profit margins eventually reaching 10.2% as software and subscriptions became more important.

The cautious view leaned on a Fair Value of US$9, built around concerns that regulatory uncertainty, weak demand, and rapid technological change could strain utilization and keep the business unprofitable for longer.

What The Results Changed For The ChargePoint Debate

The launch of ChargePoint's European Channel Partner Program leaned toward the optimistic case because it directly targeted the expansion and higher margin software and services story. Quarterly figures gave the cautious view something to hold onto as well. Revenue reached US$116.08m and the business still reported a net loss of US$35.62m, so the profitability goal remained unproven.

The key assumption was that margin improvement would follow expansion. When you test a similar claim elsewhere, track net margin and absolute profit side by side against each new geography or product push rather than only watching top line growth.

What ChargePoint's Current Price Already Assumes

ChargePoint now trades at US$12.39, above where it started one year ago, while the bearish analyst Narrative on Simply Wall St places its Fair Value below that market level. That view leans on the idea that earnings quality depends heavily on subscription mix and disciplined spending.

If you buy at today's price, you effectively assume subscription revenue, cost control, and new hardware platforms all keep supporting similar gross margins without tariff refunds or execution slip ups.

"The main thing that has to go right is that high-margin subscription revenue, disciplined operating expenses, and the new Express Solo DC fast charging platform collectively translate into sustainable gross margin levels around the current normalized approximately 35% range while hardware margins absorb the loss of one-time tariff refunds."
