Company Overview
One of the first EV charging companies to go public, Blink Charging (NASDAQ: BLNK) is a manufacturer, owner, operator, and provider of electric vehicle charging equipment and networked EV charging services.
Revenue Growth
Reviewing a company’s long-term sales performance reveals insights into its quality. Any business can put up a good quarter or two, but many enduring ones grow for years. Luckily, Blink Charging’s sales grew at an incredible 75.4% compounded annual growth rate over the last five years. Its growth beat the average industrials company and shows its offerings resonate with customers.
Long-term growth is the most important, but within industrials, a half-decade historical view may miss new industry trends or demand cycles. 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. 
This quarter, Blink Charging missed Wall Street’s estimates and reported a rather uninspiring 10.4% year-on-year revenue decline, generating $27.04 million of revenue.
Looking ahead, sell-side analysts expect revenue to grow 27.6% over the next 12 months, an improvement versus the last two years. This projection is eye-popping and implies its newer products and services will catalyze better top-line performance.

Operating Margin
Operating margin is an important measure of profitability as it shows the portion of revenue left after accounting for all core expenses – everything from the cost of goods sold to advertising and wages. It’s also useful for comparing profitability across companies with different levels of debt and tax rates because it excludes interest and taxes.
Blink Charging’s high expenses have contributed to an average operating margin of negative 140% over the last five years. Unprofitable industrials companies require extra attention because they could get caught swimming naked when the tide goes out. It’s hard to trust that the business can endure a full cycle.
On the plus side, Blink Charging’s operating margin rose over the last five years, as its sales growth gave it operating leverage. Still, it will take much more for the company to reach long-term profitability.
Blink Charging’s operating margin was negative 121% this quarter.
Earnings Per Share
Revenue trends explain a company’s historical growth, but the long-term change in earnings per share (EPS) points to the profitability of that growth – for example, a company could inflate its sales through excessive spending on advertising and promotions.
Blink Charging’s earnings losses deepened over the last five years as its EPS dropped 2.5% annually. We’ll keep a close eye on the company as diminishing earnings could imply changing secular trends and preferences.
Like with revenue, we analyze EPS over a shorter period to see if we are missing a change in the business.
For Blink Charging, its two-year annual EPS growth of 31.1% was higher than its five-year trend. Its improving earnings is an encouraging data point, but a caveat is that its EPS is still in the red.
In Q4, Blink Charging reported adjusted EPS of negative $0.11, up from negative $0.15 in the same quarter last year. This print easily cleared analysts’ estimates, and shareholders should be content with the results. Over the next 12 months, Wall Street expects Blink Charging to improve its earnings losses. Analysts forecast its full-year EPS of negative $0.65 will advance to negative $0.52.
