Energy Vault (NRGV) Plunges 19.8% as Analysts Split, Earnings Miss Forecasts

Energy Vault (NYSE:NRGV) plunged 19.8135% in pre-market trading on November 13, 2025, following a mixed analyst landscape and weak financial results. Despite Goldman Sachs raising its price target to $2.00 from $1.50—a 53% downside from the current price—the firm retained a “sell” rating, underscoring bearish sentiment. The stock faces pressure from a consensus “Hold” rating and a $2.59 average target, while analysts remain split between three “Buy” and three “Sell” calls.

Recent quarterly results highlighted persistent challenges: the company reported a $0.16 loss per share, missing estimates by $0.06, and revenue of $33.32 million, significantly below the $48.99 million forecast. Negative net margins of 172.61% and a -111.85% return on equity further underscore structural weaknesses. Insider activity added to the uncertainty, with CFO Michael Beer selling 50,000 shares and director Dylan Hixon buying 20,000, reflecting divergent confidence levels.
