Beam Global looks under-valued against its niche peers and is at-risk on financing cadence.

Synthesized from the figures below est. — every claim rests on a number shown on this page. Valuation uses the energy sector profile.

Analyst read est. — computed against this company's niche peers in the same era. Inputs shown; not a quoted figure.

Under-valued
  • Modeled value is 0.03× the median modeled value of Series A Other Energy companies in 2022–2024 (105 peers) — value vs value, same stage and era.
  • Issuer reports $5M–$25M revenue while modeled below niche peers.
At-risk
  • Last raise 3.8 yr ago; this sector typically re-raises about every 12 months.
  • Past due for a raise versus sector cadence — watch for distress or a bridge.

How it compares to the market

Benchmarked against 2048 companies in Other Energy. Each bar is a median (the middle company, not an average — outliers don't skew it). Two yardsticks: real money raised (reported on Form D) and modeled value (our estimate est.). These are whole-sector medians across all stages, except the per-stage row.

Total raised — vs sector median (real $, all stages) 4.7× above median
This company$16.0M
Sector median$3.4M
Latest round — vs other Series A rounds in sector (real $, this stage) 0.0× of median
This company$150K
Sector median$5.5M
Modeled value — vs sector median (estimate, all stages) 0.1× of median
This company$923K
Sector median$17.0M

Raised more than 77% of sector peers (real $). Modeled value above 3% of peers (estimate).

Niche peers — same stage & era

A tighter cohort than the sector chart above — only companies at the same stage (Series A) that last raised in the same ~3-year era, ranked by modeled value est. (not money raised). This is the exact set the analyst read compares against, so a like-for-like cohort is what makes "over/under-valued" meaningful. This company ranks #102 of 105.
