EVgo (EVGO) soars on positive earnings report

Shares of EVgo (NASDAQ: EVGO) traded up more than 27% Thursday after the electric vehicle charging company reported their 2Q earnings results late Wednesday.

The Los Angeles-based charging company posted $50.6 million in revenue for the second quarter, handily beating consensus estimates of $29.46 million. The company also posted an adjusted EPS loss of $0.08, coming in $0.18 ahead of estimates (consensus: -0.26).
