This decline is largely attributed to the company missing analyst revenue estimates for the past four consecutive quarters and EPS estimates for at least two quarters. The stock performance has also been impacted by the Trump administration’s recent reversal of EV tax credits. The U.S. House of Representatives approved President Donald Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill,” which terminates the $7,500 tax credit for new U.S.-made EVs, effective September 30, 2025. This policy change is expected to negatively affect the EV industry and its ecosystem, including companies like Blink Charging, with some automakers already increasing EV prices in response.Despite these challenges, Blink Charging has remained committed to unlocking value through strategic partnerships, acquisitions, and geographical expansions.Trending Investment OpportunitiesLast Monday, Blink Charging expanded its partnership with Belgian real estate firm Group Bernaerts to boost EV charging infrastructure across Belgium.
