An electric vehicle charge station by ChargePoint, Inc. is seen in Manhattan, New York, U.S., December 8, 2021. REUTERS/Andrew Kelly Acquire Licensing RightsNEW YORK, Nov 17 (Reuters) - ChargePoint Holdings' (CHPT.N) stock slumped by nearly 38% to a record low on Friday after the electric vehicle (EV) charging network slashed its third quarter revenue forecast and replaced key executives. California-based ChargePoint also announced that longtime Chief Executive Pasquale Romano will be replaced by Rick Wilmer, its chief operating officer, effective immediately. The shares of other major EV charging network providers besides ChargePoint were also trading lower. But they downgraded the company to "perform" from "outperform" citing the executive departures, choppy demand, and "potential for further organizational changes."

Electric-vehicle charging stations provider ChargePoint could make a massive recovery, according to UBS. He assigned a price target of $9, implying shares could gain 85.6% from Tuesday's closing price. UBS said the worsened sentiment around ChargePoint has created an "attractive risk/reward" profile for investors. The company has 33,000 charging stations, UBS noted. "This charging type leverages dwell times of cars and are therefore deployed in settings where EVs will be parked for several hours."
