The analyst notes that management has intensified its focus on a few core strategies, including customer-centric business models, expanding DC Fast Charging offerings, and cultivating recurring revenue streams.
For 2025, the company expects a sequential increase in revenues generated from its services, alongside a robust revenue performance in the latter half of 2025, adds the analyst.
