Bull of the Day: Microvast (MVST)

Microvast (MVST) may not be a household name, but this small-cap clean energy play has been quietly putting together an impressive 2025. The stock is already up nearly 90% year-to-date, fueled by surging demand for its advanced battery technologies and a steady stream of positive analyst revisions. Despite the strong run, MVST still trades at a relatively reasonable valuation with strong growth forecasts, leaving room for further upside.

Microvast is a US-based battery technology company that designs, develops, and manufactures advanced lithium-ion battery systems and components for electric commercial vehicles and utility-scale energy storage solutions. It offers a diversified portfolio of cell chemistries (including LTO, LFP, and NMC) and operates manufacturing facilities in the United States, China, and Germany to serve global markets.

What makes Microvast particularly compelling is the combination of under-the-radar status and improving fundamentals. While the company has limited Wall Street coverage, the analysts who do follow it have been raising their earnings outlook, a strong signal of growing confidence in its trajectory. For investors seeking exposure to the next wave of energy innovation, Microvast is a name worth watching.

Microvast Shares Rise Following Upgrades

Microvast currently boasts a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), underscoring the steady stream of upward earnings revisions from analysts. Current year estimates have been raised by an impressive 46%, while next year’s projections are up another 20.8%. The company also has a strong track record of exceeding expectations—over the last two quarters, Microvast crushed earnings forecasts by more than 400% each time, signaling both operational momentum and analyst underestimation.

On the top line, growth remains robust. Sales are forecast to climb 21.7% this year and another 21.8% in 2026, supported by rising demand for advanced battery systems. Meanwhile, earnings are expected to jump 170% this year and an additional 52.6% next year. That combination of revenue acceleration and profitability growth highlights a pivotal transition point for Microvast, as it moves from a speculative, loss-making profile to a company delivering consistent positive earnings.

Despite the sharp rally, valuation remains relatively reasonable given the growth trajectory. Shares trade at just 21x forward earnings, which looks appealing when paired with triple-digit near-term earnings growth and strong secular tailwinds in clean energy and electrification.

Microvast Stock Approaches Record Highs

As the chart below shows, MVST staged an impressive rally off the April lows, surging into mid-June before entering a gradual pullback. That retracement, however, proved constructive, shaping a well-defined descending wedge pattern. Earlier this month, the stock broke out decisively from that wedge, signaling renewed momentum and a potential shift back into an uptrend.

While the ideal entry point would have been on the initial breakout, the technical setup still looks favorable. With strong fundamental tailwinds at its back, Microvast appears well-positioned to extend its gains. In the near term, I wouldn’t be surprised to see the stock consolidate into a small bull flag continuation pattern over the coming days, potentially setting the stage for a run at prior highs and, if momentum persists, fresh record territory.

Should Investors Buy Shares in MVST?

Microvast is at a compelling inflection point. After years of operating under the radar, the company is beginning to deliver on its potential with rapid sales growth, consistent earnings beats, and a clear path toward sustained profitability. Analysts are taking notice, raising estimates sharply and reinforcing its top Zacks Rank. Technically, the stock has also confirmed its strength, breaking out of consolidation and positioning for a move toward record highs.

For investors, the opportunity lies in Microvast’s multiple catalysts. It still trades at a relatively modest valuation for a high-growth clean energy name, yet it has the kind of momentum that can continue to attract capital in the near term. As always with small-cap stocks, volatility is part of the package, but with its combination of improving fundamentals, favorable technicals, and exposure to the electrification megatrend, MVST stands out as a speculative growth stock worth serious consideration.
