Upturn Advisory & Investor View for BLNK

10/19/2026: BLNK (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Blink Charging Co is a publicly traded participant in the EV infrastructure sector, specializing in the design and operation of electric vehicle charging hardware and cloud-based management software. The company has a significant footprint and a diverse business model that includes both equipment sales and service revenue.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
BLNK receives a 2-star rating, supported by solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by weak unit economics, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
BLNK has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with soft financial health, moderate growth momentum, and moderate ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong earnings growth (+58.6%) is partially offset by weak cash generation (FCF margin -39.3%), negative revenue growth (-16.1%), weak profitability (net margin -80.8%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
BLNK's financial health is soft, with the relatively strongest area being moderate liquidity, including working-capital and asset support (WC/assets 17.5%). Operating efficiency is weak (1 stars), which helps explain the 2-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Earnings growth is BLNK's strongest growth driver at +58.6% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, free-cash-flow growth (+28.7%, solid) is also solid, while revenue growth (-16.1%, negative) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 11.5% (soft) and 98.5% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable (strong). Insider ownership of 3.64% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

BlackRock Inc 1.00%
Jane Street Group LLC 0.93%
Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Co 0.57%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
BLNK generates approximately $244 of gross profit, $-724 of operating income, and $-393 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Operating losses and cash burn explain the 1-star rating, with weak cash conversion and weak capital efficiency.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: -0.38% (Tax Credit)

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
BLNK has a liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while elevated volatility.
