DALLAS, TX -- JUNE 2, 2026
DALLAS, TX -- June 2, 2026 -- SES AI Corp. (NYSE: SES): Stonegate Capital Partners Initiates Coverage on SES AI Corp. (NYSE: SES). SES’ 1Q26 update further shifts the story from EV battery development toward a commercialization model led by ESS, with drone cells, materials, and Molecular Universe adding clearer 2H26/2027 revenue paths. Revenue beat expectations, though Q1 benefited from ~$1.5M of 4Q25 revenue shifting into the period, so the better read is not run-rate extrapolation but improved mix, reaffirmed FY26 guidance, and better visibility into drone qualification, cost reductions, and AI-enabled product differentiation.

Key Takeaways:
- SES is shifting from EV R&D toward commercialization, with ESS anchoring FY26 revenue and drone cells/materials adding clearer 2H26 and 2027 growth paths.
- 1Q26 revenue beat was helped by timing, but stronger gross margin, improved mix, and reaffirmed $30M–$35M guidance support execution credibility.
- Drone cells are the key upside variable, with NDAA-compliant samples shipping, defense interest building, and qualification potentially converting into fuller 2027 deliveries.
