Wireless Power And Battery Free IoT Deployments Will Support Long Term Supply Chain Visibility

Catalysts

About Energous

Energous develops wireless power networks and battery free IoT solutions for enterprise environments such as retail, logistics, manufacturing and cold chain monitoring.

What are the underlying business or industry changes driving this perspective?

• Large enterprises are treating real time supply chain and cold chain visibility as an operational requirement, and Energous is already deployed with two Fortune 10 customers at meaningful scale. This directly ties wider rollout decisions to potential revenue growth and operating leverage.
• Regulatory approved wireless power products across the U.S., U.K. and EU, combined with both international and U.S. based manufacturing, give the company access to a broad customer base. This could support higher shipment volumes and improved gross margins as capacity is utilized.
• The end to end platform of PowerBridge transmitters, battery free e Sense tags and e Compass cloud software allows Energous to sell full solutions rather than point products. This can support higher revenue per deployment and more recurring software and services contribution to earnings.
• Co selling through the Amazon Web Services ISV Accelerate Program, reflected in 50 plus launches on the AWS partner page, increases the number of enterprise proof of concept opportunities. If converted, these would be expected to expand the company’s revenue base and help absorb fixed operating expenses.
• Growing interest from additional verticals such as quick service restaurants, manufacturing and government or regulated sectors points to a wider addressable set of deployments for battery free sensing and wireless power. This can influence long term revenue scale and support progress toward reducing net losses.

Assumptions

How have these above catalysts been quantified?

• Analysts are assuming Energous's revenue will grow by 102.7% annually over the next 3 years.
• Analysts are not forecasting that Energous will become profitable in next 3 years. To represent the Analyst Price Target as a Future PE Valuation we will estimate Energous's profit margin will increase from -94.2% to the average US Electrical industry of 11.6% in 3 years.
• If Energous's profit margin were to converge on the industry average, you could expect earnings to reach $8.1 million (and earnings per share of $1.7) by about May 2029, up from -$7.9 million today.
• In order for the above numbers to justify the price target of the analysts, the company would need to trade at a PE ratio of 22.0x on those 2029 earnings, up from -18.4x today. This future PE is lower than the current PE for the US Electrical industry at 37.2x.
• Analysts expect the number of shares outstanding to grow by 7.0% per year for the next 3 years.
• To value all of this in today's terms, we will use a discount rate of 9.71%, as per the Simply Wall St company report.

Risks

What could happen that would invalidate this narrative?

• The company highlights structural demand for real time, always on supply chain and cold chain visibility, supported by regulatory pressure in food and pharmaceuticals and a growing focus on asset tracking. If this long term shift keeps pulling more enterprises into ambient IoT projects, it could drive higher adoption of Energous platforms and influence revenue, gross margin and earnings.
• Energous reports five consecutive quarters of revenue growth, record full year 2025 revenue of about US$5.6 million and Q1 2026 revenue of US$3.1 million. If existing Fortune 10 deployments, international rollouts and proof of concept programs with large retailers, e commerce and quick service restaurant operators continue to ramp over time, that trajectory could support a higher revenue base and potentially narrower net losses.
• The company has built what it describes as durable advantages in regulatory approvals, a portfolio of more than 300 patents and field experience in complex enterprise deployments. If these factors keep limiting direct competition in RF wireless power for battery free IoT at scale, they could support pricing power and margin resilience and therefore affect gross margin and earnings.
• The partnership with Amazon Web Services through the ISV Accelerate Program, with more than 50 launches on the AWS partner page and AWS funding some proof of concepts, gives Energous access to thousands of potential retail, manufacturing and logistics customers over the long term. If more of these evaluations convert into deployments, it could broaden the customer mix, support recurring software and services revenue and influence operating leverage and net income.

Valuation

How have all the factors above been brought together to estimate a fair value?

• The analysts have a consensus price target of $28.25 for Energous based on their expectations of its future earnings growth, profit margins and other risk factors.
• In order for you to agree with the analysts, you'd need to believe that by 2029, revenues will be $69.7 million, earnings will come to $8.1 million, and it would be trading on a PE ratio of 22.0x, assuming you use a discount rate of 9.7%.
• Given the current share price of $26.39, the analyst price target of $28.25 is 6.6% higher. The relatively low difference between the current share price and the analyst consensus price target indicates that they believe on average, the company is fairly priced.
• We always encourage you to reach your own conclusions though. So sense check these analyst numbers against your own assumptions and expectations based on your understanding of the business and what you believe is probable.
