Share count rising — dilution

+18.0% over 4y

The company has issued more shares over this period, which dilutes each existing shareholder’s stake.

Diluted shares outstanding: 4.1M (2021) → 4.8M (2025)

Dragonfly Energy makes lithium-ion battery systems for people who live or travel off the grid. Its main product is the Battle Born Batteries brand, which sells deep-cycle lithium batteries used in RVs, boats, camper vans, and off-grid cabins. The company targets outdoor enthusiasts and people who want reliable power without being connected to the electrical grid.

Dragonfly sells its batteries directly to consumers and through retail partners, earning revenue from hardware sales rather than subscriptions or recurring fees. It operates primarily in the United States and is a small company, with a market cap near zero and an operating margin deep in negative territory, meaning it is spending significantly more than it earns. The company has developed a proprietary cell management technology it calls non-flammable solid-state battery chemistry, which could be a future differentiator, but the main risk right now is whether it can grow revenue fast enough to stop burning through cash before that technology reaches commercial scale.

Cash watch

Dragonfly Energy Holdings has less than a year of cash at its current burn rate. Growth investors should watch for potential share dilution from future fundraising — that directly reduces your ownership.

The Winston Score above measures business quality today. Growth stocks often score lower because they invest in the future rather than maximising current profits. These metrics show what matters most for evaluating that future.
