Winston Score History

The full picture

Invinity Energy Systems makes large batteries designed to store electricity from renewable energy sources like solar and wind farms. Its main product is the vanadium flow battery, which can store and release power for many hours at a time. The company sells these systems to utilities, grid operators, and commercial customers who need reliable, long-duration energy storage.

Invinity earns revenue by selling battery systems and providing ongoing service contracts. It operates primarily in the UK, North America, and parts of Asia, and is a small company still in an early stage of growth. Vanadium flow batteries can be recharged thousands of times without significant degradation, which is a technical advantage over lithium-ion alternatives for long-duration storage — but the company is currently losing money on every sale, and its main challenge is scaling up production enough to bring costs down and reach profitability before it needs to raise more capital.

Strong grower

Invinity Energy Systems is growing revenue at 135% year-over-year. The Winston Score penalises unprofitable companies, but revenue at this pace tells a different story — this is a company still in "build mode."

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.
