  • Accounting & Financial Operations - Risk 1
    We have a history of substantial net losses and expect losses to continue in the future; if we do not achieve and sustain profitability, our financial condition could suffer.

    We have experienced annual and quarterly net losses which may continue and which may negatively impact our ability to achieve our business objectives. We incurred a net loss of approximately $6.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026. As of June 30, 2026, we had net working capital of approximately $10.3 million and an accumulated deficit of approximately $840 million. We have not yet achieved profitability. If our revenues grow slower than we anticipate, or if our operating expenses are higher than we expect, we may not be able to achieve profitability on an annual or quarterly basis in the future and our financial condition could suffer. We can give no assurance that we will ever achieve profitable operations. Even if we achieve profitability in the future, we may not be able to sustain it in subsequent periods. Whether we can achieve cash flow levels sufficient to support our operations cannot be accurately predicted. We may need to borrow additional funds or sell our debt or equity securities, or some combination of both, to provide funding for our operations in the future. Such additional funding may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.

Share Price & Shareholder Rights8 | 21.1%
  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1
    Our common stock price fluctuated significantly in 2025 and is likely to continue to fluctuate from its current level in 2026; our common stock must maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 to satisfy Nasdaq continued listing standards.

    The market price of shares of our common stock fluctuated significantly in 2025 and is likely to continue to fluctuate from its current level in 2026. During 2025, for example, the closing price of our shares ranged from a low of $0.64 per share to a high of $3.62 per share and, through March 27, 2026, our stock price this year ranged from a low of $0.54 per share to a high of $0.92 per share. Future announcements concerning the introduction of new products, services or technologies or changes in product pricing policies by us or our competitors or changes in earnings estimates by analysts, among other factors, could cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially. Also, stock markets have experienced extreme price and volume volatility in the last twelve months. This volatility has had a substantial effect on the market prices of securities of many public companies for reasons frequently unrelated to the operating performance of specific companies. EV and related companies like us, as a group, have experienced these broad market fluctuations, which have caused declines in the market prices of their common stock. Investors seeking short-term liquidity should be aware that we cannot provide assurance that our stock price will increase to previously higher levels. Additionally, to maintain the listing of our common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market, we are required to maintain, among other requirements, a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share. If we cannot maintain at least this price for 30 consecutive trading days to satisfy The Nasdaq Capital Market continued listing standards, our common stock could be delisted, (following limited additional time to regain compliance) which would harm our business, the trading price of our common stock, our ability to raise additional capital and the liquidity of the market for our common stock. We may explore alternative means to maintain compliance such as a reverse stock split.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2
    Failure to meet Nasdaq's continued listing requirements could result in the delisting of our common stock, negatively impact the price of our common stock, and negatively impact our ability to raise additional capital.

    We must continue to satisfy Nasdaq's continued listing requirements, including, among others, certain corporate governance requirements and a minimum closing bid price requirement of $1.00 per share. If a company fails for 30 consecutive trading days to meet the $1.00 minimum closing bid price requirement, Nasdaq will send a deficiency notice to the company, advising that it has been afforded a "compliance period" of 180 calendar days to regain compliance with the applicable requirements. On January 26, 2026, the Company received a deficiency letter (the "Notice") from Nasdaq notifying the Company that, based upon the closing bid price of the Company's common stock for the last 30 consecutive trading days, the Company is not currently in compliance with the requirement to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the "Minimum Bid Requirement"). The Notice has no immediate effect on the continued listing status of the common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market and, therefore, the Company's listing currently remains fully effective. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company is provided with a compliance period of 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice, or until July 27, 2026, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the common stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days prior to July 27, 2026. If the Company is not in compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement by July 27, 2026, the Company may be afforded a second 180 calendar day compliance period. To qualify for this additional compliance period, the Company will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Minimum Bid Price requirement. We will evaluate available options to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement. However, no assurance can be given that we will regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement during the 180-day compliance period, secure a second period of 180 days to regain compliance or maintain compliance with the other Nasdaq listing requirements. If our common stock becomes subject to delisting, it would be subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell our securities. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by these requirements could discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our common stock. This would adversely affect the ability of investors to trade our common stock and would adversely affect the value of our common stock. These factors could contribute to lower prices and larger spreads in the bid and ask prices for our common stock. If we seek to implement a reverse stock split to remain listed on Nasdaq, the announcement or implementation of such a reverse stock split could negatively affect the price of our common stock.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3
    A possible "short squeeze" due to a sudden increase in demand of our common stock that largely exceeds supply may lead to further price volatility in our common stock.

    Investors may purchase shares of our common stock to hedge existing exposure in our common stock or to speculate on the price of our common stock. Speculation on the price of our common stock may involve long and short exposures. To the extent aggregate short exposure exceeds the number of shares of our common stock available for purchase in the open market, investors with short exposure may have to pay a premium to repurchase our common stock for delivery to lenders of our common stock. Those repurchases may, in turn, dramatically increase the price of our common stock until investors with short exposure are able to purchase additional shares of common stock to cover their short position. This is often referred to as a "short squeeze." A short squeeze could lead to volatile price movements in shares of our common stock that are not directly correlated to the performance or prospects of our company and once investors purchase the shares necessary to cover their short position the price of our common stock may decline.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4
    We have a number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants and stock options, an ATM common stock program in place and possible issuance of stock from the warrants granted in August 2025 to the former shareholders of Envoy Technologies; the issuance of such shares could have a significant dilutive impact on our stockholders.

    As of March 27, 2026, we had outstanding warrants to purchase 5,804,799 shares of common stock and stock options to purchase 433,545 shares of common stock. Our Articles of Incorporation authorize us to issue up to 500,000,000 shares of common stock, which would permit us to issue up to an additional approximately 357,000,000 authorized, unissued shares of common stock, after giving effect to the approximate number of shares of common stock currently outstanding and the number of shares reserved for issuance under warrants and stock options. On August 4, 2025, our wholly owned subsidiary, Envoy Technologies, Inc. ("Envoy Technologies"), entered into Amendment No. 4 (the "Fourth Amendment") to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 18, 2023, with the Company, Envoy Technologies, Envoy Mobility, Inc. ("Mobility" and formerly Blink Mobility, LLC) and Fortis Advisors LLC, as equity holders' agent (as previously amended, the "Merger Agreement"). Pursuant to the Fourth Amendment, the sole remaining payment obligation to the former shareholders of Envoy Technologies was fully satisfied, and we and Mobility were released from all claims and liabilities relating to such obligation, with the issuance of (x) $10,000 in shares of our common stock, valued based on the volume-weighted average trading price for the 25 trading days preceding the issuance date, and (y) warrants exercisable for shares of our common stock with an aggregate value of $11,000, divided into three tranches with vesting conditions based on specific stock price achievements, with outstanding unexercised warrants expiring twenty months after their issuance. We issued an aggregate of 9,696,882 shares of our common stock and issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,898,177 shares of our common stock in full satisfaction of the consideration payable to the former shareholders of Envoy Technologies. The former shareholders of Envoy Technologies were granted registration rights for shares of our common stock initially issued and those issuable pursuant to the exercise of warrants. During the year ended December 31, 2025, 1,470,588 of warrants related to the first tranche of warrants had become exercisable upon meeting vesting conditions. Furthermore, 653,118 of these warrants were exercised during the year ended December 31, 2025. The remaining 2,427,589 warrants have not vested as of December 31, 2025. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock on the public market could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. If there are more shares of common stock offered for sale than buyers are willing to purchase, then the market price of our common stock may decline to a market price at which buyers are willing to purchase the offered shares of common stock and sellers remain willing to sell the shares.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5
    Our Articles of Incorporation grant our Board the power to issue additional shares of common and preferred stock and to designate a series of preferred stock, all without stockholder approval.

    We are authorized to issue 540,000,000 shares of capital stock, of which 40,000,000 shares are authorized as preferred stock. Our Board, without any action by our stockholders, may designate and issue shares of preferred stock in such series as it deems appropriate and establish the rights, preferences and privileges of such shares, including dividends, liquidation and voting rights, provided it is consistent with Nevada law. The rights of holders of our preferred stock that may be issued could be superior to the rights of holders of our shares of common stock. The designation and issuance of shares of capital stock having preferential rights could adversely affect other rights appurtenant to shares of our common stock. Further, any issuances of additional stock (common or preferred) will dilute the percentage of ownership interest of then-current holders of our capital stock and may dilute our book value per share.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 6
    Certain provisions of our corporate governing documents and Nevada law could discourage, delay or prevent a merger or acquisition at a premium price.

    Certain provisions of our organizational documents and Nevada law could discourage potential acquisition proposals, delay or prevent a change in control of our company, or limit the price that investors may be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock. For example, our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, as amended, permit us to issue, without any further vote or action by the stockholders, up to 40,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and, with respect to each series, to fix the number of shares constituting the series and the designation of the series, the voting powers (if any) of the shares of the series, and the preferences and relative, participating, optional, and other special rights, if any, and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the shares of the series.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 7
    If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research reports about our business, our share price and trading volume could decline.

    The trading market for our common stock will, to some extent, depend on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. We do not have any control over these analysts. If one or more of the analysts who cover us from time to time should downgrade our shares or change their opinion of our business prospects, our share price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of our company or fails to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause our share price or trading volume to decline.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 8
    Our business could be negatively affected as a result of actions of activist shareholders, and such activism could impact the trading value of our securities.

    Shareholders may, from time to time, engage in proxy solicitations or advance shareholder proposals, or otherwise attempt to effect changes and assert influence on our Board and management. Activist campaigns that contest or conflict with our strategic direction or seek changes in the composition of our Board could have an adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition. A proxy contest would require us to incur significant legal and advisory fees, proxy solicitation expenses and administrative and associated costs and require significant time and attention by our Board and management, diverting their attention from the pursuit of our business strategy. Any perceived uncertainties as to our future direction and control, our ability to execute on our strategy, or changes to the composition of our Board or senior management team arising from a proxy contest could lead to the perception of a change in the direction of our business or instability which may result in the loss of potential business opportunities, make it more difficult to pursue our strategic initiatives, or limit our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel and business partners, any of which could adversely affect our business and operating results. If individuals are ultimately elected to our Board with a specific agenda, it may adversely affect our ability to effectively implement our business strategy and create additional value for our shareholders. We may choose to initiate, or may become subject to, litigation as a result of a proxy contest or matters arising from a proxy contest, which would serve as a further distraction to our Board and management and would require us to incur significant additional costs. In addition, actions such as those described above could cause significant fluctuations in our stock price based upon temporary or speculative market perceptions or other factors that do not necessarily reflect the underlying fundamentals and prospects of our business.

FAQ

What are “Risk Factors”?
Risk factors are any situations or occurrences that could make investing in a company risky. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires that publicly traded companies disclose their most significant risk factors. This is so that potential investors can consider any risks before they make an investment. They also offer companies protection, as a company can use risk factors as liability protection. This could happen if a company underperforms and investors take legal action as a result. It is worth noting that smaller companies, that is those with a public float of under $75 million on the last business day, do not have to include risk factors in their 10-K and 10-Q forms, although some may choose to do so.
How do companies disclose their risk factors?
Publicly traded companies initially disclose their risk factors to the SEC through their S-1 filings as part of the IPO process. Additionally, companies must provide a complete list of risk factors in their Annual Reports (Form 10-K) or (Form 20-F) for “foreign private issuers”. Quarterly Reports also include a section on risk factors (Form 10-Q) where companies are only required to update any changes since the previous report. According to the SEC, risk factors should be reported concisely, logically and in “plain English” so investors can understand them.
How can I use TipRanks risk factors in my stock research?
Use the Risk Factors tab to get data about the risk factors of any company in which you are considering investing. You can easily see the most significant risks a company is facing. Additionally, you can find out which risk factors a company has added, removed or adjusted since its previous disclosure. You can also see how a company’s risk factors compare to others in its sector. Without reading company reports or participating in conference calls, you would most likely not have access to this sort of information, which is usually not included in press releases or other public announcements. A simplified analysis of risk factors is unique to TipRanks.
