- Energous shares are sliding. What’s weighing on WATT shares?
Fugazi Report Targets Dilution and Cash Burn
The report argued that Energous remains a low-revenue, cash-burning business that has relied heavily on equity issuance to fund operations rather than internally generated cash flow. Benzinga has reached out to Energous for comment in response to the report and will update if the company responds.
Fugazi said the company raised capital through equity-related actions 21 times since 2019 and still has roughly $64 million in remaining at-the-market, or ATM, capacity, which it described as significant relative to the company’s size.
Low Revenue, Customer Risk and Governance Issues Highlighted
Fugazi also pointed to Energous’ financial profile, noting that for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2025, the company reported $2.6 million in revenue and an $8.3 million net loss. The report further highlighted customer concentration risk, saying two customers accounted for more than 81% of revenue during that period.
The short report also raised governance concerns, including the company’s CEO simultaneously serving as CFO, and argued that Energous has yet to demonstrate a self-sustaining commercial model despite years of commercialization efforts.
WATT Stays In Overbought Territory As Momentum Cools
WATT’s RSI has spent most of the past year in the neutral range, with periodic spikes into overbought territory above 70 and only brief dips near or below the 30 oversold level.
Recently, RSI has pushed back toward the upper end of the range, approaching overbought conditions, which may signal strengthening momentum but also raises the risk of a near-term pullback on Tuesday.
WATT Shares Slide Tuesday Afternoon
WATT Price Action: Energous shares were down 3.77% at $18.11 at the time of publication on Tuesday. The stock is approaching its 52-week high of $20.31, according to Benzinga Pro data.
