QuantumScape Corporation announced that its Class A Common Stock will move from the New York Stock Exchange to the Nasdaq Stock Market, with the transfer taking effect after the close on December 22, 2025 and the first Nasdaq trading day on December 23. The ticker symbol will remain “QS.”
The company said the move aligns its public market presence with its technology‑focused brand and places it among a peer group of high‑growth, innovation‑driven companies. Nasdaq’s listing requirements and investor base are considered more conducive to a development‑stage battery firm that is still pre‑revenue, allowing QuantumScape to tap a community of investors who are accustomed to high‑risk, high‑reward ventures.
In its most recent earnings release, QuantumScape reported a GAAP net loss of $105.8 million for Q3 2025, an improvement from $119.7 million in Q3 2024. Earnings per share were –$0.18 versus the consensus estimate of –$0.20, a beat of $0.02. The company also announced first‑ever customer billings of $12.8 million, signaling early commercial traction, and confirmed a liquidity position that extends its cash runway through 2030.
Market reaction to the listing transfer was muted. The stock saw a modest pre‑market uptick before settling near its prior level, indicating that investors viewed the move as a strategic alignment rather than a catalyst for immediate valuation change. The announcement reinforced the narrative that QuantumScape’s cash runway and early commercialization milestones are the primary drivers of investor interest, rather than the exchange switch itself.
CFO Kevin Hettrich said, “We’re proud to join Nasdaq’s community alongside some of the most innovative companies in the world. We look forward to this exciting opportunity to partner with Nasdaq to better serve our shareholders.” CEO Dr. Siva Sivaram added, “Completing the Eagle Line and the Cobra separator process is a crucial step forward in our scale‑up strategy, and the Nasdaq move underscores our commitment to growth and innovation.”
The Nasdaq transfer positions QuantumScape among a cluster of technology and growth‑oriented firms, potentially increasing visibility among investors who focus on high‑growth sectors. While the move does not alter the company’s operational trajectory, it signals a strategic intent to align its public market identity with its long‑term technology focus and to leverage Nasdaq’s infrastructure and investor community for future capital‑raising and partnership opportunities.
