ESS Tech, Inc.
- Cash, equivalents and short-term investments of $13.6M as of May 31, 2026 (unaudited).
- Citing strong early demand, ESS is accelerating sodium-ion BESS development; identifies ~$1B in early-stage opportunities.
- Streamlining Wilsonville operations, reducing expenses and cash burn to reallocate capital to sodium-ion and related solutions.
