What Is The Market Telling Us
EVgo’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 47 moves greater than 5% over the last year. But moves this big are rare even for EVgo and indicate this news significantly impacted the market’s perception of the business.
The previous big move we wrote about was 14 days ago when the stock dropped 4.9% on the news that surging long-term Treasury yields crushed the group's cost-of-capital outlook.
The selloff followed FOMC minutes showing Fed officials were open to tightening if inflation did not cool, paired with energy-driven inflation fears after the U.S. launched "Economic Warfare" against Iran, according to CNBC. Because renewable energy installations require massive upfront capital and generate returns over decades, the sector is uniquely sensitive to the discount rate. Higher Treasury yields mechanically increase financing costs for utility-scale developers and push up loan rates for residential solar buyers, threatening to freeze demand. The macroeconomic pressure overpowered earlier optimism from an August 6 White House proclamation that added a 15% duty and a minimum import price on polysilicon products, according to the Center on Global Energy Policy.
EVgo is down 53.4% since the beginning of the year, and at $1.44 per share, it is trading 71.4% below its 52-week high of $5.01 from September 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of EVgo’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at only $150.89.
