**Listen up permabulls.** While y'all are crying about Friday's red-light therapy, you're missing an opportunity right under your noses.
[Factorial Energy](https://factorialenergy.com/) ($FAC) is creating a solid-state battery for eMobility, defense, and AI/robotics. They are far ahead of their closest competitor QuantumScape ($QS), which has a market cap of $4.7 billion.
While QS is still crying in their diapers, [Factorial completed a 745-mile test drive in a Mercedes-Benz](https://electrek.co/2026/06/08/solid-state-ev-battery-maker-joins-nasdaq-after-745-mi-range-test/) and will probably be the first to commercialize.
Up until today, Factorial Energy has been private but they just went public **today:** [There’s a New EV Battery Company for Investors. What to Know](https://www.barrons.com/articles/factorial-energy-stock-batteries-electric-vehicles-7cff7193)!
A conservative estimate would be a $44/share ($4.7 billion market cap) given that QS's market cap is $4.7 billion and I believe FAC's tech is just as good if not better.
But here's the opportunity that no one is talking about: ***their float is really small since they launched today.***
Based on the 6/5/2026 8-K, a whopping [23 million of the 34.5 million shares were redeemed](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2049662/000110465926070968/tm2616972d1_8k.htm) (ie, SPAC investors got scared and didn't convert into Class A FAC shares but wanted their money back), leading to only 11.5 million Class A FAC shares (1/3 of the expected liquidity).
While the founders own quite a few shares, they legally can't sell them yet because of the lock-up period.
This low-float led to a parabolic rise after hours today from $13.80 --> $177.

It's all supply and demand: limited supply + high demand = kaboom 🚀
Position is 330 shares @ 22.75. Also, NFA + DYOR.
