Walters was granted stock options to purchase 145,018 shares of Eos stock, which vested on May 19, 2023. Walters exercised 80,000 of those stock options on Dec. 4, 2025, May 19, 2026, and May 20, 2026. The Director sold another 30,000 shares on May 28. This is not insider dumping, but a seemingly routine stock option exercise combined with a share sale to lock in profits and cover the heavy taxes that such options entail. Walters still owns a significant number of shares directly, and a few thousand indirectly, in Eos. Eos Energy stock rallied over 100% in the one year through the end of May, and that’s despite the stock’s precipitous decline so far this year. Shares are down 33% in 2026, as of this writing. The company’s revenue surged more than seven times to $114 million in 2025, but it still fell short of management’s target. To top that, Eos reported a staggering comprehensive net loss of nearly $1.8 billion in the year. Eos is still in the early stages of the business, so big losses and volatility in earnings and revenue aren’t surprising. The company has developed zinc-based battery energy storage systems (BESS) that are apparently superior to conventional lithium-ion batteries. It has a backlog of $645 million as of March 31, and estimates its opportunity pipeline to be worth over $24 billion. There have been two big developments in recent weeks. First, Eos has partnered with Cerberus Capital to create Frontier Power USA, an independent company that will build and operate energy storage projects using Eos’ battery technology. Eos already has a 2 gigawatt hour (GWh) commitment from Frontier Power. Second, Eos has just secured an agreement from Europe for 50 megawatt hours with potential up to 2 GWh through 2031. This commercial validation, along with rapid production ramp up makes Eos Energy stock a must-watch instead of a sell, especially amid booming global demand for power.
