# Why QuantumScape Stock Soared Monday Morning

> QuantumScape's stock surged over 20% on Monday morning, driven by new production deals and a favorable macroeconomic environment. The company, known for its solid-state lithium-metal batteries, has gained attention amid geopolitical tensions affecting critical minerals. Recent agreements with Corning and Murata have positioned QuantumScape closer to commercializing its technology, contributing to a 70% increase in stock value over the past month. Investors are eagerly awaiting the company's third-quarter report on October 22.

**QuantumScape** (QS 17.41%) stock is soaring to start the new trading week. Shares of the solid-state lithium-metal battery maker have been in focus recently due to new production deals. Today's move, however, comes as investors see a macroeconomic picture that makes those deals, and QuantumScape itself, even more important.

QuantumScape stock jumped by over 20% this morning, and still traded up by 16.3% as of 10:25 a.m. ET.

## QuantumScape's next-generation lithium battery

QuantumScape stock has already been on the move higher recently. In the past two weeks, the maker of next-generation electric vehicle (EV) batteries announced deals that will help commercialize its solid-state lithium-metal battery technology.

Today's gain comes as rare-earth and other critical minerals are caught in a trade spat between the U.S. and China. After China announced stricter export controls on rare-earth metals, President Donald Trump threatened to slap a new 100% tariff on Chinese imports. Trump said China was holding the world "captive" but backed off the angry rhetoric over the weekend.

QuantumScape's solid-state battery uses a lithium-metal anode along with a solid ceramic electrolyte separator that allows the pure lithium-metal anode to provide more energy density for faster charging, longer range, and safer use. Investors in QuantumScape hope it will revolutionize EV batteries.

Critical minerals are being caught in a geopolitical battle, putting QuantumScape in the spotlight. Its battery technology focuses on making lithium a safer and more efficient metal. The company itself has been in the news for recent strategic production agreements with glass and ceramic products company **Corning** and electronic components maker Murata.

Those agreements put QuantumScape closer to commercializing its technology. That drove investor excitement, helping the stock soar over 70% in the last month. With critical minerals in the spotlight again, more investors are looking at QuantumScape. The company will soon update investors with its third-quarter report coming next week on Oct. 22.
