3 Reasons to Sell BLNK and 1 Stock to Buy Instead

BLNK Cover Image

Blink Charging has gotten torched over the last six months - since October 2025, its stock price has dropped 74.6% to $0.59 per share. This was partly driven by its softer quarterly results and might have investors contemplating their next move.

Why Is Blink Charging Not Exciting?

Even though the stock has become cheaper, we don't have much confidence in Blink Charging. Here are three reasons there are better opportunities than BLNK and a stock we'd rather own.

1. Revenue Tumbling Downwards

We at StockStory place the most emphasis on long-term growth, but within industrials, a stretched historical view may miss cycles, industry trends, or a company capitalizing on catalysts such as a new contract win or a successful product line. Blink Charging’s recent performance marks a sharp pivot from its five-year trend as its revenue has shown annualized declines of 14.2% over the last two years.

2. Cash Burn Ignites Concerns

Free cash flow isn't a prominently featured metric in company financials and earnings releases, but we think it's telling because it accounts for all operating and capital expenses, making it tough to manipulate. Cash is king.

Blink Charging’s demanding reinvestments have drained its resources over the last five years, putting it in a pinch and limiting its ability to return capital to investors. Its free cash flow margin averaged negative 75%, meaning it lit $75.04 of cash on fire for every $100 in revenue.

3. Short Cash Runway Exposes Shareholders to Potential Dilution

As long-term investors, the risk we care about most is the permanent loss of capital, which can happen when a company goes bankrupt or raises money from a disadvantaged position. This is separate from short-term stock price volatility, something we are much less bothered by.

Blink Charging burned through $40.57 million of cash over the last year. With $39.57 million of cash on its balance sheet, the company has around 12 months of runway left (assuming its $5.07 million of debt isn’t due right away).

Blink Charging Net Cash Position

Unless the Blink Charging’s fundamentals change quickly, it might find itself in a position where it must raise capital from investors to continue operating. Whether that would be favorable is unclear because dilution is a headwind for shareholder returns.

We remain cautious of Blink Charging until it generates consistent free cash flow or any of its announced financing plans materialize on its balance sheet.

Final Judgment

Blink Charging isn’t a terrible business, but it doesn’t pass our quality test. After the recent drawdown, the stock trades at $0.59 per share (or a forward price-to-sales ratio of 0.6×). The market typically values companies like Blink Charging based on their anticipated profits for the next 12 months, but it expects the business to lose money. We also think the upside isn’t great compared to the potential downside here - there are more exciting stocks to buy. We’d suggest looking at an all-weather company that owns household favorite Taco Bell.
