Is this normal for this company?
Each figure against the range this same company has produced recently. Neither end of a range is the good end.
Profit as a share of sales, from the company's own quarterly statements. The range covers the 5 quarters we hold, and the figure shown is its most recent one.
How these ranges are built
Every number here is the company's own reported figure, not a comparison with other companies. The ranges come from this company's own results and its share price. Where it reports in a different currency from the one its shares trade in, the price-to-earnings range is left out rather than mixing the two.
What does ChargePoint Holdings, Inc. do?
Think of ChargePoint as the operator of a massive, digital petrol station network for electric vehicles. Selling the charging hardware to businesses, plus a subscription fee for the software that manages those stations, is how it earns. Their fortunes hinge on turning a growing network into actual profit, as they currently spend more to run the business than they bring in from sales.

Does ChargePoint Holdings, Inc. pay a dividend?
No - ChargePoint Holdings, Inc. doesn't currently pay a dividend, so the whole return would rest on the share price. Plenty of growing companies reinvest their profits instead of paying them out - neither approach is better or worse, they're just different.
Does ChargePoint Holdings, Inc. have more cash or more debt?
It holds about $95.78M in cash against about $254.09M of debt - so it has net debt of about $158.31M. Debt is not automatically a problem - it funds growth - but it has to be serviced and repaid, which matters more when profits wobble.
From the latest reported balance sheet. Cash and debt levels change, and some borrowing is normal - this is context, not a judgment.
What do ChargePoint Holdings, Inc.'s numbers mean?
How has it performed?
Growth of £1,000, the worst fall, and year by year
Over about 2 years to 2026-09-11. This is the share price only; any dividends would add to it. And it's the USD return - as a UK investor your actual £ return also moves with the exchange rate. Past performance is not a guide to the future, and it could just as easily have fallen.
How much has ChargePoint Holdings, Inc. actually fallen?
Over the last 2 years of daily prices, ChargePoint Holdings, Inc. fell as much as −88% from a high to a later low. Falls like this are normal when you own a share.
Past falls are not a forecast - it can fall further, or recover.
How has it done year by year?
Calendar-year total return - the share price with dividends reinvested - from adjusted closing prices. The current year is only part-complete. Past returns are not a guide to the future.
