EVgo Q4 Earnings: Not An Exciting Quarter

  EVgo is rallying on a quarterly revenue beat, but the company continues to pile on large losses. The fast-charging company forecast another year of massive losses and investments in 2023. EVGO stock trades at a very rich valuation of nearly 20x low-end '23 sales targets of $105 million. EVgo  ( NASDAQ: EVGO ) is surging on a quarter that beat analyst estimates.
