Bolt Projects reported its fiscal 2025 Q2 earnings on August 12, 2025. The company significantly improved its performance year-over-year, reducing its net loss by 92.2% to $-4.58 million in 2025 Q2, compared to a $-58.93 million loss in 2024 Q2. The company raised revenue guidance and expressed optimism about future growth, setting the stage for continued improvements.
Revenue
Total revenue surged by 2225.0% in 2025 Q2 to $1.30 million, jumping from just $56,000 in the same quarter the previous year. This dramatic growth was driven primarily by the Vegan Silk Technology Platform, which saw a 2300.0% increase in revenue to $1.3 million. The platform's strong performance reflects the growing commercial momentum and strategic focus on pricing discipline and operational improvements.
Earnings/Net Income
Bolt Projects significantly narrowed its losses, reducing the per-share loss to $2.20 in 2025 Q2 from a loss of $252.21 per share in 2024 Q2. The company achieved a 99.1% improvement in per-share earnings, and its overall net loss dropped to $-4.58 million, compared to $-58.93 million a year earlier. This marked a new record high for fiscal Q2 net income in two years, showcasing the company’s ability to control costs and enhance profitability.
Price Action
The stock price of Bolt ProjectsBSLK-- has shown a bearish trend in recent trading periods. Shares edged down 0.46% during the latest trading day, plummeted 16.48% during the most recent full trading week, and dropped 5.22% month-to-date. These declines reflect investor caution amid mixed post-earnings performance.
Post-Earnings Price Action Review
Despite the strong revenue growth, the post-earnings performance was notably poor. A strategy of buying shares following the revenue raise quarter-over-quarter and holding for 30 days resulted in a disastrous -98.52% return. This underperformed the benchmark by 111.61%, indicating a high level of volatility and risk. The strategy exhibited a maximum drawdown of 0.00% and a Sharpe ratio of -0.35, which is unsuitable for risk-averse investors due to its extreme volatility.
CEO Commentary
Dan Widmaier, CEO of Bolt Projects Holdings, highlighted the strong business performance in Q2 2025. He emphasized the impressive 2300% growth in revenue from the Vegan Silk Technology Platform and noted that pricing discipline and operational improvements led to positive gross profits ahead of internal estimates. Widmaier expressed optimism about the platform’s sustainable performance and its alignment with customer needs, which he said supports long-term growth. He underscored the importance of cost reductions and passing savings to customers while maintaining profitability, reinforcing Bolt’s mission of delivering “Way Better Materials for a Way Better World.”
Guidance
Bolt Projects has set ambitious gross profit guidance for fiscal 2025 of at least $0.5 million and for fiscal 2026 of at least $1.0 million. The company maintained its full-year revenue guidance of $4.5 million for 2025 and $9.0 million for 2026. Operational improvements and cost reductions are expected to drive double-digit manufacturing cost savings in the second half of 2025, supporting the gross profit outlook. The company also plans for 2026 pricing to balance growth with competitive volume expansion.
