QuantumScape Corp is assigned a 3-star quantitative star rating, indicating our belief that this share class is a balanced choice, but prudent investors should consider looking elsewhere. The stock currently trades at a 14% discount to our quantitative fair value estimate of $5.39 per share; however, caution is warranted due to this estimate's very high uncertainty rating.

The firm's liquidity strengthens our fair value estimate. Adequate liquidity allows a company to meet short-term obligations, enhancing financial stability and reducing distress risk. For example, the firm's median trading volume over the past 60 days lies in the top 10% compared with global peers. Trading volumes are high on shares, which may indicate increased institutional interest in stock ownership. We believe this is a sign that shares could be undervalued.

Conversely, the firm's lack of profitability is potentially concerning. Companies with low profitability are often less resilient in recessions and are likely to generate weaker future cash flows for shareholders. The firm's earnings yield of -9.9%, for example, lies in the bottom 20% compared with peers globally. The earnings generated by the company relative to its share price is concerning, which, despite our favorable price/fair value ratio, is a negative attribute.

In addition to the aforementioned drivers, our model considers momentum as part of its comprehensive analysis. This share class has been a laggard relative to the broader universe over the past year. This underperformance makes the stock appear cheap, which portends a buying opportunity in light of other contributors to our model.

The company's quantitative economic moat rating of none suggests any excess returns could erode quickly as competition arrives. Additionally, the firm's moderate financial health score suggests it is acceptably positioned against adverse economic circumstances.
