Why Is Blink Charging Not Exciting?
Even though the stock has become cheaper, we're cautious about Blink Charging. Here are three reasons we avoid BLNK and a stock we'd rather own.
1. Revenue Tumbling Downwards
We at StockStory place the most emphasis on long-term growth, but within industrials, a stretched historical view may miss cycles, industry trends, or a company capitalizing on catalysts such as a new contract win or a successful product line. Blink Charging’s recent performance marks a sharp pivot from its five-year trend as its revenue has shown annualized declines of 5.9% over the last two years. 
2. Cash Burn Ignites Concerns
If you’ve followed StockStory for a while, you know we emphasize free cash flow. Why, you ask? We believe that in the end, cash is king, and you can’t use accounting profits to pay the bills.
Blink Charging’s demanding reinvestments have drained its resources over the last five years, putting it in a pinch and limiting its ability to return capital to investors. Its free cash flow margin averaged negative 79.9%, meaning it lit $79.88 of cash on fire for every $100 in revenue.
3. Short Cash Runway Exposes Shareholders to Potential Dilution
As long-term investors, the risk we care about most is the permanent loss of capital, which can happen when a company goes bankrupt or raises money from a disadvantaged position. This is separate from short-term stock price volatility, something we are much less bothered by.
Blink Charging burned through $47.14 million of cash over the last year. With $23.11 million of cash on its balance sheet, the company has around 6 months of runway left (assuming its $5.43 million of debt isn’t due right away).
Unless the Blink Charging’s fundamentals change quickly, it might find itself in a position where it must raise capital from investors to continue operating. Whether that would be favorable is unclear because dilution is a headwind for shareholder returns.
We remain cautious of Blink Charging until it generates consistent free cash flow or any of its announced financing plans materialize on its balance sheet.
Final Judgment
Blink Charging isn’t a terrible business, but it isn’t one of our picks. After the recent drawdown, the stock trades at $0.69 per share (or a forward price-to-sales ratio of 0.6×). The market typically values companies like Blink Charging based on their anticipated profits for the next 12 months, but it expects the business to lose money. We also think the upside isn’t great compared to the potential downside here - there are more exciting stocks to buy. We’d recommend looking at a top digital advertising platform riding the creator economy.
