Warning signs in its filings

Problems the company itself reported to the SEC, in its own words.

1 serious warning sign in EVgo’s filings.

We look for five warning signs: doubt it can keep going, weak checks on its own accounts, a notice that its past accounts can't be relied on, a change of auditor, and one customer bringing in a big share of sales. We don't check lawsuits, investigations or debt yet.

We checked the auditor's report, internal controls, restatement notices, auditor changes and big customers in the 10-K filed 9 Mar 2026, plus the 10-Q filed 6 Aug 2026 and 3 later 8-Ks.

  • Weak checks on its own accounts

    Serious

    The company said its checks on its own accounts did not work at the end of its latest quarter. Mistakes could slip into the numbers.

    “The certifying officers concluded that, as a result of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2026; accordingly, we are implementing additional policies and procedures to remediate these shortcomings as outlined in Part II, Item 9A, “Controls and Procedures ” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for year ended December 31, 2025.”
    Show the full paragraph
    Under the supervision of our Board of Directors and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or the “certifying officers,” we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in and pursuant to Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2026. The certifying officers concluded that, as a result of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2026; accordingly, we are implementing additional policies and procedures to remediate these shortcomings as outlined in Part II, Item 9A, “Controls and Procedures ” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for year ended December 31, 2025.

    From the 10-Q filed 6 August 2026, Part I, Item 4. Controls and Procedures. Read it in the filing

  • One big customer

    Worth knowing

    One customer brings in a big share of sales: 30.2% last year. Losing that customer would hurt.

    “For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, one customer represented 30.2% and 33.5%, respectively, of our total revenue.”

    From the 10-K filed 9 March 2026, Item 1. Business. Read it in the filing

A 10-K is the yearly report every US company files with the SEC. An 8-K is a short notice of a big event.

What could go wrong

  • It owes more than it owns on paper (negative equity). Often that's from borrowing to buy back shares.

Whether the price already reflects the risks is what the deep dive is for.

The deep dive

Everything above is arithmetic on public filings. The deep dive reads the last ten years of annual reports, the proxy statements, and the earnings calls, then argues the case the way Buffett, Klarman, and Hohn would, and checks every claim against the source.
