Global unit shipments tumbled 19.5% year over year in the third quarter, with weakness in both the consumer and business markets. Supply chain constraints have given way to bloated inventories. On the consumer side, so many new PCs were purchased recently that there's little appetite for upgrades. On the business side, a tumultuous economy has likely led to some caution on spending.</p><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMD\">Advanced Micro Devices</a>, the No. 2 player in both the PC and server CPU markets behind <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/INTC\">Intel</a>, has not escaped the pain. When delivering its preliminary third-quarter financials on Oct. 6, AMD warned that its results would come in far below prior expectations. At the time, it kicked the can down the road in terms of its Q4 outlook, saying that it will be discussed on the third-quarter earnings call on Nov. 1.</p><p>Given the state of the PC market, Intel's weak outlook, and the fact that AMD's new Ryzen desktop chips have a pricing problem, the end of the year is going to be rough for AMD.</p><h2>Organic growth has already ground to a halt</h2><p>On the surface, AMD's preliminary results may not seem all that bad. The company cut its revenue outlook from $6.7 billion to $5.6 billion, but that new figure still represents 29% growth year over year. There's one problem, though. That growth is entirely due to AMD's acquisition of Xilinx. Back out the Xilinx purchase, and its revenue will be roughly flat.</p><p>AMD expects sales in its client segment, which includes PC chips, to crash by 40% year over year in the third quarter. That's much worse than end-market demand because AMD's customers are slashing inventories.</p><p>Its customers will eventually finish knocking down their inventory levels, bringing AMD's sales more in line with end-market demand. But even so, there's not much reason to believe the PC market is going to bounce back anytime soon. If AMD is going to grow, it will have to do so by winning market share, and that's going to be tougher than it has been over the past few years.</p><h2>Intel's aggressive pricing</h2><p>Intel cut its own full-year guidance when it reported results on Oct. 27, and it announced plans for significant cost-cutting measures as it looks to navigate the current storm. Intel's client computing segment revenue slumped 17% in the third quarter, and overall adjusted revenue is set to dip more than 25% in the fourth quarter.</p><p>This outlook doesn't bode well for AMD, especially since the pricing on its latest Ryzen 7000 desktop CPUs isn't very competitive. Intel's Raptor Lake chips win out when it comes to gaming, according to tech-focused news and reviews site Tom's Hardware, and they offer much better price-to-performance for multithreaded workloads. "AMD will need to reduce pricing on its Ryzen 7000 models now to stay competitive with Raptor Lake," concluded Tom's Hardware.</p><p>With the broader PC market in freefall, and with Intel's Raptor Lake holding an edge in both the gaming and productivity portions of the market, AMD is just not in a great position.</p><h2>The data center market might be a silver lining</h2><p>AMD still expects its data center segment to grow by 45% year over year in the third quarter. Even if demand softens for server chips among enterprise and cloud customers, AMD has plenty of room to win additional market share. Intel has faced delays in its effort to bring its Sapphire Rapids server chips to volume production, leaving its data center lineup in a weakened state.</p><p>But just like in the PC market, Intel is not going to sit idly by as it loses market share. The company expects Sapphire Rapids to reach 1 million units faster than any Xeon server chip ever has, and Intel will likely be pretty aggressive as it tries to hit that target. Winning market share in the data center segment will likely get harder for AMD as time goes on.</p><p>AMD is going to cut its full-year guidance when it reports its results. The only question is by how much.

Global unit shipments tumbled 19.5% year over year in the third quarter, with weakness in both the consumer and business markets. Supply chain constraints have given way to bloated inventories. On the consumer side, so many new PCs were purchased recently that there's little appetite for upgrades. On the business side, a tumultuous economy has likely led to some caution on spending.Advanced Micro Devices, the No. 2 player in both the PC and server CPU markets behind Intel, has not escaped the pain. When delivering its preliminary third-quarter financials on Oct. 6, AMD warned that its results would come in far below prior expectations. At the time, it kicked the can down the road in terms of its Q4 outlook, saying that it will be discussed on the third-quarter earnings call on Nov. 1.Given the state of the PC market, Intel's weak outlook, and the fact that AMD's new Ryzen desktop chips have a pricing problem, the end of the year is going to be rough for AMD.Organic growth has already ground to a haltOn the surface, AMD's preliminary results may not seem all that bad. The company cut its revenue outlook from $6.7 billion to $5.6 billion, but that new figure still represents 29% growth year over year. There's one problem, though. That growth is entirely due to AMD's acquisition of Xilinx. Back out the Xilinx purchase, and its revenue will be roughly flat.AMD expects sales in its client segment, which includes PC chips, to crash by 40% year over year in the third quarter. That's much worse than end-market demand because AMD's customers are slashing inventories.Its customers will eventually finish knocking down their inventory levels, bringing AMD's sales more in line with end-market demand. But even so, there's not much reason to believe the PC market is going to bounce back anytime soon. If AMD is going to grow, it will have to do so by winning market share, and that's going to be tougher than it has been over the past few years.Intel's aggressive pricingIntel cut its own full-year guidance when it reported results on Oct. 27, and it announced plans for significant cost-cutting measures as it looks to navigate the current storm. Intel's client computing segment revenue slumped 17% in the third quarter, and overall adjusted revenue is set to dip more than 25% in the fourth quarter.This outlook doesn't bode well for AMD, especially since the pricing on its latest Ryzen 7000 desktop CPUs isn't very competitive. Intel's Raptor Lake chips win out when it comes to gaming, according to tech-focused news and reviews site Tom's Hardware, and they offer much better price-to-performance for multithreaded workloads. \"AMD will need to reduce pricing on its Ryzen 7000 models now to stay competitive with Raptor Lake,\" concluded Tom's Hardware.With the broader PC market in freefall, and with Intel's Raptor Lake holding an edge in both the gaming and productivity portions of the market, AMD is just not in a great position.The data center market might be a silver liningAMD still expects its data center segment to grow by 45% year over year in the third quarter. Even if demand softens for server chips among enterprise and cloud customers, AMD has plenty of room to win additional market share. Intel has faced delays in its effort to bring its Sapphire Rapids server chips to volume production, leaving its data center lineup in a weakened state.But just like in the PC market, Intel is not going to sit idly by as it loses market share. The company expects Sapphire Rapids to reach 1 million units faster than any Xeon server chip ever has, and Intel will likely be pretty aggressive as it tries to hit that target. Winning market share in the data center segment will likely get harder for AMD as time goes on.AMD is going to cut its full-year guidance when it reports its results. The only question is by how much. And while the company probably won't share much detail on its expectations for 2023, the potential for a global recession and continued turmoil in the PC market represent some serious headwinds. AMD enjoyed incredible growth and profits during the first two years of the pandemic. That chapter is almost certainly closed.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":301,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":136174847,"gmtCreate":1622002598989,"gmtModify":1704365874183,"author":{"id":"3574646684002399","authorId":"3574646684002399","name":"JohnTeo","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/884c031c0209150d5c4da4db425234b3","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3574646684002399","idStr":"3574646684002399"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Do something different and let the others follow u.

Tesla has previously told shareholders that it believes \"a vision-only system is ultimately all that is needed for full autonomy\" and that it was planning to switch the U.S. market to Tesla Vision. CEOElon Muskalso said in atweeton March 12 that the company would move to a \"pure vision\" approach.\nTesla said these will be the first Tesla vehicles to rely on camera vision and neural net processing to deliver \"Autopilot, Full-Self Driving and certain active safety features.\"\nThe company also cautioned that Autopilot and FSD systems would not be as useful or as strong during this period of technical adjustments.\n\"For a short period during this transition, cars with Tesla Vision may be delivered with some features temporarily limited or inactive, including: Autosteer will be limited to a maximum speed of 75 mph and a longer minimum following distance. Smart Summon (if equipped) and Emergency Lane Departure Avoidance may be disabled at delivery.\"\nCustomers who already ordered a Model 3 or Model Y but didn't know about this modification will be informed before they accept delivery of their cars.\nAll new Tesla vehicles include a standard set of advanced driver assistance features dubbed Autopilot.\nTesla also sells a $10,000 premium software package marketed as \"Full Self Driving\" or FSD. Tesla gives select drivers early access to a beta version of FSD — effectivelyturning thousands of customers into software testers on public roads in the U.S.\nAccording to the company'swebsite, Autopilot currently enables a Tesla vehicle to \"steer, accelerate and brake automatically within its lane\" and FSD adds features such as automatic lane changing and summon. Summon enables a driver to call their car to come pick them up across a parking lot using the Tesla app like a remote control.\nTesla cautions in its owner’s manual and on its website that Autopilot and FSD require active supervision. But some drivers incorrectly believe that a Tesla is safe to operate hands-free, asleep at the wheel or even while sitting in the back of the car.\nOne Tesla owner who posted social media videos of himself using Autopilot without his hands on the wheel died in afatal collisionin Southern California earlier this month. Another wasarrested bythe California Highway Patrol for taking his Tesla for unsafe joy rides during which he sat in the back seat and let the car operate on public highways with no driver at the wheel.\nMost using radar and lidar\nOther automakers are taking a different tack when it comes to the development, rollout and marketing of automated driving systems.GMCruise,Alphabet’s Waymo, Aurora and others are including radar and lidar alongside cameras in their systems.\nWhile cameras capture video that can be labeled by human data analysts and interpreted by machine-learning software, radar and lidar sensors provide additional data that can give cars a more robust way to detect and avoid obstacles on the road — especially when visibility is lower, including at night or in inclement weather.\nMusk has called lidar a “crutch” and a “fool’s errand,” saying it’s too expensive and hard to use. But he has not dismissed radar entirely yet.\nTesla intends to keep radar in its higher-cost Model S and Model X vehicles and in Model 3 and Model Y cars made in China or for shipment to markets beyond North America.\nAccording to Phil Koopman, CTO of Edge Case Research and professor of electrical and computer engineering at Carnegie Mellon University, Tesla should be able to get away with offering some features via vision today but might need to reintroduce radar later on to deliver more advanced automated features.\n“The sensors used by an SAE Level 2 (human driver responsible for monitoring safety at all times) is at manufacturer discretion. So it’s possible they can provide at least some features with camera only, noting that the human is responsible for handling anything the camera can’t,” said Koopman.\n“Tesla’s features are currently limited to this SAE Level 2. If in the future Tesla wants to achieve SAE Level 4 (automated vehicle with no human driver safety supervision — which is not the current capability), then it would prudent to use every type of sensor they can get, including cameras, radar, lidar, and possibly others.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":401,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":138389070,"gmtCreate":1621910024490,"gmtModify":1704364277226,"author":{"id":"3574646684002399","authorId":"3574646684002399","name":"JohnTeo","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/884c031c0209150d5c4da4db425234b3","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3574646684002399","idStr":"3574646684002399"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"2 quarter semi CB.

The lockdown that will remain in effect until mid June has raised concerns over the full-year growth target.\"Since February, the external economic environment has improved, even though the pandemic continues to disrupt activities in many economies and threatens to undermine any recovery,\" it said.\"While the recent tightening of domestic restrictions and border controls represents a setback to segments of the economy, the broader economy should still see a recovery this year in tandem with the global economic rebound and further progress in the domestic vaccination programme.\"The performance of the economy in the first quarter of 2021 was stronger than expected.The final estimate for first-quarter growth came at 1.3 per cent on a yearly basis, compared to an earlier estimate of 0.2 per cent and the 2.4 per cent contraction in the previous quarter.The January-March growth was even higher than the 0.9 per cent growth projected by economists in a Reuters poll.On a quarter-on-quarter seasonally-adjusted basis, the economy grew by 3.1 per cent, extending the 3.8 per cent expansion in the fourth quarter of last year.The first quarter growth came on the back of the manufacturing sector's 10.7 per cent year-on-year expansion, faster than the 10.3 per cent growth recorded in the previous quarter.MTI said the Jan-March growth was due to output expansions in the electronics, precision engineering and chemicals clusters, which outweighed output declines in transport engineering, general manufacturing and biomedical manufacturing.The wholesale trade sector expanded by 3.5 per cent year-on-year, faster than the 1.8 per cent growth registered in the previous quarter, and the retail trade sector grew by 1.4 per cent.Growth of the information & communications sector accelerated to 6.4 per cent year-on-year, from the 2.6 per cent achieved in the previous quarter.However, the construction sector contracted by 22.7 per cent and the transportation and storage sector shrank by 16.5 per cent, compared with the same period last year. The food & beverage services sector contracted by 9.4 per cent year-on-year.MTI said that it is still possible that the Singapore economy will outperform the 4-6 per cent growth forecast for 2021, there are also significant downside risks, with the most important being the trajectory of the pandemic.\"Countries are experiencing recurring waves of infections, with the emergence of more transmissible strains of the virus, the easing of safe management restrictions, and delays in vaccinating populations.\"The ministry said these resurgences, as well as the countries' public health responses to them, will inevitably affect their economic growth.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":348,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":131165512,"gmtCreate":1621837022436,"gmtModify":1704363068319,"author":{"id":"3574646684002399","authorId":"3574646684002399","name":"JohnTeo","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/884c031c0209150d5c4da4db425234b3","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3574646684002399","idStr":"3574646684002399"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Buy to average down your holding price.

Tencent said Thursday it plans to invest a larger portion of its incremental profits this year in areas including cloud services, games and short-form video content, joining Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. and Meituan in telegraphing sharp hikes of investment in hot arenas. Tencent is trying to sustain growth in revenue, which climbed to 135.3 billion yuan ($21 billion) in the three months ended March, roughly in line with analyst estimates.</p><p>The increased spending comes as Tencent faces competition from the likes of ByteDance Ltd. and growing scrutiny from Beijing. Pony Ma’s company has largely escaped the antitrust crackdown for now -- despite its ubiquitous WeChat app offering unrivaled insights into all aspects of Chinese life and a commanding lead in gaming, music and social media markets. But its fintech arm, alongside those of other giants such as Didi and Meituan, faces wide-ranging restrictions similar to the ones imposed upon Jack Ma’s Ant Group Co.</p><p>Executives sought to assuage investor concerns, reiterating that Tencent remains very focused on risk management and has been “self-restrained” on the size of its non-payment financial products. “When we look into the internal review, and when we look into what other things that need to be done in order to make sure that we are compliant with the spirit of the regulators, it’s actually relatively manageable,” President Martin Lau told analysts on a conference call Thursday.</p><p>The company also reiterated earlier-disclosed plans to invest 50 billion yuan in its so-called social values initiative, where it will fund philanthropic efforts in areas such as education, rural revitalization and carbon neutral -- areas that align firmly with Chinese President Xi Jinping’s priorities.</p><p>Shares of Naspers and its unit Prosus, Tencent’s largest shareholders, rose more than 2% after the earnings.</p><p>The Chinese giant’s stock was little changed before reporting results, having shed roughly $200 billion in market value since its January peak, part of a broader tech selloff that had investors weighing the potential fallout for the online juggernaut. Apart from fintech, competitors have long argued WeChat -- now venturing into short videos and e-commerce -- is locking users inside its ecosystem by blocking links to external services. Portfolio startups like Yuanfudao and Shixianghui have been penalized for unfair price tactics and other anti-competitive behaviors. Its music spinoff faces heightened scrutiny over exclusive dealings with record labels.</p><p>Net income came in at 47.8 billion yuan in the March quarter, buoyed by 19.5 billion yuan of gains from the value of investments and disposals. Excluding those gains, adjusted net income came in at 33.1 billion yuan, slightly behind estimates.</p><p>For now, gaming and social content remain Tencent’s biggest and steadiest cash cows. Online gaming revenue rose 17% during the quarter, helped by mainstay titles like Honour of Kings, PUBG Mobile and Peacekeeper Elite as well as newer games including Moonlight Blade Mobile.</p><p>The giant announced a pipeline of more than 40 new mobile and PC titles during its annual game showcase Sunday, including those adapted from familiar content like Japanese manga series One Piece and Digimon.

Tencent said Thursday it plans to invest a larger portion of its incremental profits this year in areas including cloud services, games and short-form video content, joining Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. and Meituan in telegraphing sharp hikes of investment in hot arenas. Tencent is trying to sustain growth in revenue, which climbed to 135.3 billion yuan ($21 billion) in the three months ended March, roughly in line with analyst estimates.The increased spending comes as Tencent faces competition from the likes of ByteDance Ltd. and growing scrutiny from Beijing. Pony Ma’s company has largely escaped the antitrust crackdown for now -- despite its ubiquitous WeChat app offering unrivaled insights into all aspects of Chinese life and a commanding lead in gaming, music and social media markets. But its fintech arm, alongside those of other giants such as Didi and Meituan, faces wide-ranging restrictions similar to the ones imposed upon Jack Ma’s Ant Group Co.Executives sought to assuage investor concerns, reiterating that Tencent remains very focused on risk management and has been “self-restrained” on the size of its non-payment financial products. “When we look into the internal review, and when we look into what other things that need to be done in order to make sure that we are compliant with the spirit of the regulators, it’s actually relatively manageable,” President Martin Lau told analysts on a conference call Thursday.The company also reiterated earlier-disclosed plans to invest 50 billion yuan in its so-called social values initiative, where it will fund philanthropic efforts in areas such as education, rural revitalization and carbon neutral -- areas that align firmly with Chinese President Xi Jinping’s priorities.Shares of Naspers and its unit Prosus, Tencent’s largest shareholders, rose more than 2% after the earnings.The Chinese giant’s stock was little changed before reporting results, having shed roughly $200 billion in market value since its January peak, part of a broader tech selloff that had investors weighing the potential fallout for the online juggernaut. Apart from fintech, competitors have long argued WeChat -- now venturing into short videos and e-commerce -- is locking users inside its ecosystem by blocking links to external services. Portfolio startups like Yuanfudao and Shixianghui have been penalized for unfair price tactics and other anti-competitive behaviors. Its music spinoff faces heightened scrutiny over exclusive dealings with record labels.Net income came in at 47.8 billion yuan in the March quarter, buoyed by 19.5 billion yuan of gains from the value of investments and disposals. Excluding those gains, adjusted net income came in at 33.1 billion yuan, slightly behind estimates.For now, gaming and social content remain Tencent’s biggest and steadiest cash cows. Online gaming revenue rose 17% during the quarter, helped by mainstay titles like Honour of Kings, PUBG Mobile and Peacekeeper Elite as well as newer games including Moonlight Blade Mobile.The giant announced a pipeline of more than 40 new mobile and PC titles during its annual game showcase Sunday, including those adapted from familiar content like Japanese manga series One Piece and Digimon. Last month the Shenzhen-based company folded its mini-video app, video streaming platform and mobile store into a single business unit, in a bid to pull together resources to build a Marvel-like franchise.As part of its increased spending this year, the company will step up investments in game development and also provide production and monetization tools to content creators as part of efforts to grow its short-form video content.Its fintech and cloud division posted its strongest growth ever, with sales surging 47% as demand for financial services rebounded and as projects delayed by the pandemic resumed deployment. To support the growth of its cloud business, Tencent said Thursday it will boost spending in areas such as headcount and infrastructure.“Tencent’s plan to increase investments in 2021 could dampen margins, and is likely undertaken in part to address increasing competition in areas like cloud computing, online games and short videos, where industry peers have been spending aggressively,” said Bloomberg Intelligence senior analyst Vey-Sern Ling.Online advertising revenue climbed 23% -- the fastest in four quarters -- helped by the consolidation of new subsidiary Bitauto and higher demand from the e-commerce, education and the fast-moving consumer goods industries.

We are concerned about rapidly increasing use of fossil fuels for Bitcoin mining and transactions, especially coal, which has the worst emissions of any fuel. Cryptocurrency is a good idea on many levels and we believe it has a promising future, but this cannot come at great cost to the environment. Tesla will not be selling any Bitcoin and we intend to use it for transactions as soon as mining transitions to more sustainable energy. We are also looking at other cryptocurrencies that use <1% of Bitcoin's energy/transaction.\"\nMainstream investors and some corporate buyers including Tesla,Square,Metromileand Nexon haveflocked to bitcoin, viewing the digital currency as a potential inflation hedge while central banks print money to relieve coronavirus-distressed economies.\nMajor Wall Street banks like Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley have also sought to provide their wealthy clients with bitcoin exposure.\nBut some investors, like Softbank founder Masayoshi Son, still aren't buying in to the crypto craze.\n\"There's a lot of discussion over if it's a good thing or a bad thing, what's the true value or is it in a bubble. Honestly speaking, I don't know,\" Son said at a recentearnings conference.\nWhile Tesla said it would not accept bitcoin for vehicle purchases on Wednesday, Musk specified that Tesla plans to hold rather than sell the bitcoin it already has, and would be looking into other cryptocurrencies that require less energy for transactions.\nDuring the first quarter of 2021, Tesla bought $1.5 billion worth of \"digital assets,\" then sold $272 million worth. According to a financial filing from Tesla on April 26,profits from bitcoin salesspecifically allowed the company to notch a $101 million \"positive impact\" toward profitability.\nMusk has been a very public fan of bitcoin and dogecoin, tweeting and joking about these with his millions of Twitter followers over the past year.\nThis past weekend, the Tesla chief made his hosting debut on \"Saturday Night Live\" and devoted part of his opening monologue and one sketch to talking up dogecoin. Instead of helping drive up the price of the meme-inspired token, dogecoinactually tanked 30%over the course of the hour that Musk was hosting SNL.\nDuring a frenzied sell-off at that time, the popular trading platform Robinhood experienced an outage in its crypto trading.\nFollowing Musk's announcement on Thursday, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said that the team will continue to accept bitcoin and other crpytocurrencies because \"we know that replacing Gold as a store of value will help the environment.\"","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":427,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":199144458,"gmtCreate":1620692941774,"gmtModify":1704346753262,"author":{"id":"3574646684002399","authorId":"3574646684002399","name":"JohnTeo","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/884c031c0209150d5c4da4db425234b3","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3574646684002399","idStr":"3574646684002399"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Price drop, good time to buy.

The firms were penalized for making misleading claims about their businesses from falsifying the qualifications of teaching staff to faking user reviews, the antitrust watchdog said.</p><p>Yuanfudao and Zuoyebang said they accepted the penalties and will rectify the relevant problems.</p><p>The explosive growth of private education providers during the pandemic has drawn increased scrutiny over the sector. Last month, Beijing’s market regulator fined four private education providers including GSX Techedu Inc. as well as a TAL Education Group unit for pricing violations. China’s education ministry also issued a statement reiterating limits on after-school study programs in order to ensure that students get enough sleep.</p><p>“The fines are closely related to the recent crackdown on after-school tutoring institutions, focusing on their illegal activities and potential for stirring anxiety in society,” said Ye Le, Shanghai-based analyst with China Securities. “The regulatory pressure will keep building for the rest of the year.”</p><p>Going forward, the SAMR will intensify its regulatory supervision of after-school educational groups and crack down on illegal activities, according to the statement.

The firms were penalized for making misleading claims about their businesses from falsifying the qualifications of teaching staff to faking user reviews, the antitrust watchdog said.Yuanfudao and Zuoyebang said they accepted the penalties and will rectify the relevant problems.The explosive growth of private education providers during the pandemic has drawn increased scrutiny over the sector. Last month, Beijing’s market regulator fined four private education providers including GSX Techedu Inc. as well as a TAL Education Group unit for pricing violations. China’s education ministry also issued a statement reiterating limits on after-school study programs in order to ensure that students get enough sleep.“The fines are closely related to the recent crackdown on after-school tutoring institutions, focusing on their illegal activities and potential for stirring anxiety in society,” said Ye Le, Shanghai-based analyst with China Securities. “The regulatory pressure will keep building for the rest of the year.”Going forward, the SAMR will intensify its regulatory supervision of after-school educational groups and crack down on illegal activities, according to the statement. The two apps are the latest in a slew of Chinese firms from giants like Alibaba and Tencent to smaller outfits like online grocery provider Nice Tuan that have fallen afoul of the antitrust watchdog in recent months, as Beijing reins in its once-freewheeling internet sector.Both startups are said to be eyeing initial public offerings.

BTC was up 4.46% at $57,201.19 and ETH was higher by 3.71% at $3,484.ETC is trading 10.43% below the all-time high of $100.03 it reached on Wednesday.Ethereum Classiccame into existenceafter a hard fork of the Ethereum blockchain took place in 2016 due to prevailing disagreements at the time in the community.Barry Silbert — CEO of Digital Currency Group, which owns Grayscale — is a well-known proponent of ETC.On Wednesday, Ethereum Classic noted that theGrayscale Ethereum Classic Trust(OTC:ETCG) has over $1 billion in assets under management.ETCG closed 27.76% higher at $67.15 on Wednesday.Why It Matters:ETC has caught the attention of the social media investment crowd.

But the value rally may still be at an early stage, according to two fund managers from different companies who hold small-cap and mid-cap stocks.</p><p>Justin Tugman of Janus Henderson Investors and Christian Stadlinger of Columbia Threadneedle Investments both made the case that the value rally will continue, especially for small-cap and mid-cap companies. The two mutual fund managers highlighted stocks that, they say, remain attractively priced.</p><p>At the bottom of this article are tables and charts showing how small- and mid-cap value stocks' price-to-earnings ratios haven't risen as much as those of the broad S&P indexes and their growth subsets.</p><p>Tugman co-manages the Janus Henderson Small Cap Value Fund with Craig Kempler, and also co-manages the Janus Henderson Mid Cap Value Fund with Kevin Preloger. The Small Cap Value Fund is rated four stars (out of five) by Morningstar, while the Mid Cap Value Fund has a three-star rating.</p><p>When discussing the broad market rally since the pandemic bottom in March 2020, Tugman said the unprecedented monetary and fiscal stimulus has pushed some investors to suspend \"any common sense when it comes to valuation metrics.\"</p><p>Following a long period during which growth stocks outperformed value, he believes investors' expectations for a rapidly growing U.S. economy and rising interest rates will continue to bode well for value stocks. He pointed out that periods of outperformance for value stocks have historically stretched over several years.</p><p>Tugman said he and his colleagues tend to be \"risk-averse.\" When selecting new stocks for the portfolios they manage, they first consider downside risk, then focus on upside potential and come up with a risk/reward ratio. They steer clear of highly leveraged or unprofitable companies and those facing \"binary events,\" such as biotechnology developers holding trials.</p><p>Tugman named three value stocks he believes are attractive today:</p><ul><li>Citizens Financial Group Inc. CFG of Providence, R.I., is a regional bank with $183 billion in assets and about 1,000 branches in 11 states. Tugman called the stock’s valuation “attractive at roughly 11 times estimated 2021 earnings.” He said the bank’s credit quality was strong and that it was well positioned to benefit from the steepening yield curve. Citizens is one of the largest holdings of the Janus Henderson Mid Cap Value Fund.</li><li>United Community Banks Inc. UCBI is a holding of the Janus Henderson Small Cap Value Fund. It is based in Blairsville, Ga., has $17.8 billion in total assets, with branches in five states. The stock has a forward P/E ratio of 14.8, which is on the high side for a bank. “We do not think [that valuation is] egregious for a bank growing like they are,” Tugman said. He expects UCBI to continue growing its loan portfolio in the high single digits, which is an impressive organic growth rate for any bank.</li><li>Another small-cap holding is Sunstone Hotel Investors Inc. SHO, which is a real-estate investment trust that owns hotel buildings and leases them to operators licensed by Marriott, Hilton and other well-known brands. Tugman said hotel closures during the pandemic had caused a “cash burn,” but that Sunstone’s balance sheet was still healthy. With the industry beginning to reopen, he believes “SHO sets up well for the long term.”</li></ul><p>Stadlinger is the lead manager for the Columbia Small Cap Value Fund II , and has been involved with the fund's management since 2002. Jarl Ginsberg co-manages the fund, which is rated four stars by Morningstar.</p><p>During an interview, Stadlinger said that through 2019, small-cap growth stocks had been outperforming value for 10 years, because \"when growth is scarce, the market pays up more for growth.\" HE was referring to slow GDP growth in the U.S. But now economists polled by MarketWatch expect a 6% GDP growth rate for 2021.</p><p>\"[T]here will be a whole lot more money being spent. When that happens, value stocks have historically outperformed,\" he said.</p><p>The Columbia Small Cap Value Fund II holds about 100 stocks. Stadlinger said he and Ginsberg select value stocks they believe will turn into growth stocks as the companies' earnings improve. \"That's how you get returns,\" he said.</p><p>Companies held by the fund that Stadlinger expects to switch to growth from value include Sunstone Hotel Investors, which is also held by Janus Henderson and described above. \"All the indicators are positive\" for the company as the industry reopens at full strength, he said.</p><p>Four more companies mentioned by Stadlinger:</p><ul><li>Herc Holdings Inc. HRI rents construction and earth-moving equipment. With the economy improving, “utilization is picking up quite a bit,” Stadlinger said. The company is based in Florida and mainly operates in southern states, where commercial and residential construction activity is strong. And Stadlinger believes a large round of federal infrastructure spending is “doable.”</li><li>Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corp. VAC is a timeshare operator. This is an industry whose business model has changed, at least for such a large player. If you own a timeshare with Marriott Vacations, you earn points that can be used to make exchanges with other timeshare properties operated by the company. Stadlinger said that unlike hotel operators, timeshare companies have continued to collect maintenance fees from most customers during the pandemic. So they have been undervalued. And now, as the travel industry reopens, various other revenue streams are resuming, including restaurant and pool fees, he said.</li><li>Atlantic Union Bankshares Corp. AUB is based in Richmond, Va., and has $19.6 billion in assets and 129 branches in three states. Stadllinger described AUB as the “largest independent bank left” in Virginia, with “very strong management” and good prospects for loan growth as the economy improves. He also believes the bank is a takeout target for J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. JPM or Bank of America Corp. BAC if they wish to have an expanded presence in the state.</li><li>Ultra Clean Holdings Inc. UCTT makes chemicals and equipment used by semiconductor manufacturers. The stock trades for 15.9 times the consensus earnings estimate among analysts polled by FactSet. Stadlinger called UCTT “cheap” because of the growth prospects in its industry. The chip-making business is booming.</li></ul><p><b>Value vs growth</b></p><p>The broad stock market indexes are broken into overlapping value and growth groups. The value groups are larger, and the companies in them tend to have lower price-to-earnings and price-to-book ratios, as well as lower sales growth rates. The growth groups tend to have higher price valuations and higher growth rates. The companies in both camps show characteristics of both, or at least did the last time the indexes were rebalanced, which happens annually.</p><p>Here are total returns for the three broad S&P indexes over the past six months, along with those of their value and growth subsets:</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0e63cd85839b74ec79c0fdd789371f01\" tg-width=\"1242\" tg-height=\"428\"></p><p>So for all three indexes, the value groups have been in the lead for the past six months, as stocks have performed very well across the board.</p><p>But a long-term look at forward price-to-earnings valuations for exchange traded funds that track the groups shows a remarkable trend -- for mid-cap and small-cap stocks, P/E valuations for the value groups still appear relatively low.</p><p>First, let's look at large-caps -- here are the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SPY.AU\">$(SPY.AU)$</a>, the <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EEME\">iShares</a> S&P 500 Value ETF <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/IVE\">$(IVE)$</a> and the SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 Growth ETF <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SPYG\">$(SPYG)$</a>:</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fcb3602dcf8f7bf55944657020f0f7e3\" tg-width=\"1242\" tg-height=\"334\"></p><p>For the large-caps, P/E valuations are high across the board, but less so for value.</p><p>For mid-caps, here are P/E comparisons for the <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EGRW\">iShares</a> Core S&P Mid Cap ETF <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/IJH\">$(IJH)$</a>, the SPDR S&P 400 Mid Cap Value ETF <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MDYV\">$(MDYV)$</a> and the <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EMDI\">iShares</a> S&P 500 Mid-cap 400 Growth ETF <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/IJK\">$(IJK)$</a>:</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a0ebe986713e067cc68037f2816e84bc\" tg-width=\"1242\" tg-height=\"304\"></p><p>For small-cap stocks, here are P/E comparisons for the SPDR S&P 600 Small Cap ETF <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SLY\">$(SLY)$</a>, the <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EMEY\">iShares</a> S&P Small-Cap 600 Value ETF <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/IJS\">$(IJS)$</a> and the SPDR S&P 600 Small Cap Growth ETF <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SLYG\">$(SLYG)$</a>:</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/edc06e24728225e4387ff54a8dcfad02\" tg-width=\"1242\" tg-height=\"306\"></p><p>So for the small- and mid-cap value stocks, forward P/E ratios aren't very high when compared with 10-year averages, even after such a powerful rally.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

But the value rally may still be at an early stage, according to two fund managers from different companies who hold small-cap and mid-cap stocks.Justin Tugman of Janus Henderson Investors and Christian Stadlinger of Columbia Threadneedle Investments both made the case that the value rally will continue, especially for small-cap and mid-cap companies. The two mutual fund managers highlighted stocks that, they say, remain attractively priced.At the bottom of this article are tables and charts showing how small- and mid-cap value stocks' price-to-earnings ratios haven't risen as much as those of the broad S&P indexes and their growth subsets.Tugman co-manages the Janus Henderson Small Cap Value Fund with Craig Kempler, and also co-manages the Janus Henderson Mid Cap Value Fund with Kevin Preloger. The Small Cap Value Fund is rated four stars (out of five) by Morningstar, while the Mid Cap Value Fund has a three-star rating.When discussing the broad market rally since the pandemic bottom in March 2020, Tugman said the unprecedented monetary and fiscal stimulus has pushed some investors to suspend \"any common sense when it comes to valuation metrics.\"Following a long period during which growth stocks outperformed value, he believes investors' expectations for a rapidly growing U.S. economy and rising interest rates will continue to bode well for value stocks. He pointed out that periods of outperformance for value stocks have historically stretched over several years.Tugman said he and his colleagues tend to be \"risk-averse.\" When selecting new stocks for the portfolios they manage, they first consider downside risk, then focus on upside potential and come up with a risk/reward ratio.

Disney+ is still on track to reach 230 million subscribers</b></p>\n<p>Disney was already doomed to disappoint investors after <b>Netflix</b> (NASDAQ:NFLX) missed its own guidance for subscribers in the March-ending quarter. There was a strong pull-forward of signups for streaming services during the pandemic that may take a quarter or two to shake out.</p>\n<p>Nonetheless, there were plenty of details in the earnings report that suggest Disney+ is still on track to hit its long-term subscriber target. For example, CFO Christine McCarthy said that Disney \"added subs at a faster pace in the last month of the second quarter than we did in the first two months.\" And this was despite the first price increase for Disney+ since launch.</p>\n<p>Looking beyond the near term, CEO Bob Chapek said: \"We are on track to achieve our guidance of 230 million to 260 million subscribers by the end of fiscal 2024.\"</p>\n<p><b>2. Churn levels remaining low despite price increases</b></p>\n<p>Even after implementing the price increases last quarter, Chapek said that \"we've not observed any significantly higher churn rate since the price increase in [the Europe, Middle East, and Africa region].\"</p>\n<p>Disney expects subscriber growth to be stronger once content production resumes at full strength. Chapek said, \"the anticipation for Marvel's newest series,<i>Loki</i>, which debuts on June 9 has been through the roof.\"</p>\n<p>Remember that Disney has gained more than 100 million subs without tapping the deep pipeline of content from <i>Star Wars</i> and Marvel that management unveiled at its December investor day presentation. As the company adds more content from these powerhouse franchises, subscriber numbers should add up.</p>\n<p><b>3. Disney+ has yet to benefit from recent price increases</b></p>\n<p>Disney's average revenue per user (ARPU) fell 29% to $3.99 during the quarter. That is certainly a stark contrast compared to Netflix's 6% year-over-year increase in the last quarter. But there's more to the story here.</p>\n<p>The decline in ARPU was due to the launch of Disney+ Hotstar in India, which produces a lower revenue per user than Disney+ in other markets. Excluding Hotstar, Disney+ ARPU would have been virtually unchanged at $5.61.</p>\n<p>\"As we move through the remainder of the year, we should start to see the benefit on Disney+ ARPU from price increases we've taken around the world,\" McCarthy said.</p>\n<p><b>4. Per capita spending is up at theme parks</b></p>\n<p>Of course, theme parks are still an important piece of Disney's business, generating $26 billion in revenue in fiscal 2019. Revenue from Disney parks, experiences, and products dropped 44% year over year in the quarter. But that's an improvement from the previous quarter's 53% decline.</p>\n<p>Management offered more good news on the earnings call. \"At Walt Disney World, attendance trends continued to steadily improve throughout the second quarter, and guest spending per capita again grew by double digits versus the prior year,\" McCarthy said.</p>\n<p>Disneyland Resort opened on April 30, and management is \"very encouraged\" by the guest response so far.</p>\n<p>It's tough to say where the stock will go in the near term, but Disney's franchises are some of the most valuable in the entertainment industry. I think it's a safe bet that once Disney unloads more content from its top brands on Disney+, and the rest of the business fully recovers from the pandemic, the stock price will likely trade higher than it does now. So, yes, I view the sell-off as a good buying opportunity.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Is Disney Stock Still a Buy After Missing Subscriber Estimates?</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nIs Disney Stock Still a Buy After Missing Subscriber Estimates?\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-05-17 23:31 GMT+8 <a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/05/17/is-disney-stock-still-a-buy-after-missing-subscrib/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Disney+ fell well short of analyst estimates for subscriber additions in the last quarter.\nWalt Disney (NYSE:DIS) ended the fiscal second quarter with 103.6 million subscribers on its Disney+ ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/05/17/is-disney-stock-still-a-buy-after-missing-subscrib/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"DIS":"迪士尼"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/05/17/is-disney-stock-still-a-buy-after-missing-subscrib/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1121366045","content_text":"Disney+ fell well short of analyst estimates for subscriber additions in the last quarter.\nWalt Disney (NYSE:DIS) ended the fiscal second quarter with 103.6 million subscribers on its Disney+ streaming service.

There was a strong pull-forward of signups for streaming services during the pandemic that may take a quarter or two to shake out.\nNonetheless, there were plenty of details in the earnings report that suggest Disney+ is still on track to hit its long-term subscriber target. For example, CFO Christine McCarthy said that Disney \"added subs at a faster pace in the last month of the second quarter than we did in the first two months.\" And this was despite the first price increase for Disney+ since launch.\nLooking beyond the near term, CEO Bob Chapek said: \"We are on track to achieve our guidance of 230 million to 260 million subscribers by the end of fiscal 2024.\"\n2. Churn levels remaining low despite price increases\nEven after implementing the price increases last quarter, Chapek said that \"we've not observed any significantly higher churn rate since the price increase in [the Europe, Middle East, and Africa region].\"\nDisney expects subscriber growth to be stronger once content production resumes at full strength. Chapek said, \"the anticipation for Marvel's newest series,Loki, which debuts on June 9 has been through the roof.\"\nRemember that Disney has gained more than 100 million subs without tapping the deep pipeline of content from Star Wars and Marvel that management unveiled at its December investor day presentation. As the company adds more content from these powerhouse franchises, subscriber numbers should add up.\n3. Disney+ has yet to benefit from recent price increases\nDisney's average revenue per user (ARPU) fell 29% to $3.99 during the quarter. That is certainly a stark contrast compared to Netflix's 6% year-over-year increase in the last quarter. But there's more to the story here.\nThe decline in ARPU was due to the launch of Disney+ Hotstar in India, which produces a lower revenue per user than Disney+ in other markets. Excluding Hotstar, Disney+ ARPU would have been virtually unchanged at $5.61.\n\"As we move through the remainder of the year, we should start to see the benefit on Disney+ ARPU from price increases we've taken around the world,\" McCarthy said.\n4. Per capita spending is up at theme parks\nOf course, theme parks are still an important piece of Disney's business, generating $26 billion in revenue in fiscal 2019. Revenue from Disney parks, experiences, and products dropped 44% year over year in the quarter. But that's an improvement from the previous quarter's 53% decline.\nManagement offered more good news on the earnings call. \"At Walt Disney World, attendance trends continued to steadily improve throughout the second quarter, and guest spending per capita again grew by double digits versus the prior year,\" McCarthy said.\nDisneyland Resort opened on April 30, and management is \"very encouraged\" by the guest response so far.\nIt's tough to say where the stock will go in the near term, but Disney's franchises are some of the most valuable in the entertainment industry. I think it's a safe bet that once Disney unloads more content from its top brands on Disney+, and the rest of the business fully recovers from the pandemic, the stock price will likely trade higher than it does now. So, yes, I view the sell-off as a good buying opportunity.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":379,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3581980965309451","authorId":"3581980965309451","name":"Eded","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/41a629a3014601072ee8dc2d151d1796","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3581980965309451","authorIdStr":"3581980965309451"},"content":"Disney has diversified ops as compared to netflix","text":"Disney has diversified ops as compared to netflix","html":"Disney has diversified ops as compared to netflix"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":346379117,"gmtCreate":1618009055939,"gmtModify":1704705834264,"author":{"id":"3574646684002399","authorId":"3574646684002399","name":"JohnTeo","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/884c031c0209150d5c4da4db425234b3","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574646684002399","authorIdStr":"3574646684002399"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Seems like Tesla is carrying all the EVs.

Many new EV companies entered the market, most of them through SPACs. Valuations fluctuated wildly, and there has been a great deal of publicity around these companies.</p>\n<p>This new updated EV investment roadmap is greatly expanded. In addition to updating the strategies and progress of companies previously discussed, I expanded the number of companies covered. This article also groups EV companies into their primary markets, enabling better comparisons and evaluation of market opportunities. In addition, it includes a comparative valuation chart showing every company's market cap with a comparison to projected revenue, where possible. This takes advantage (good or bad) of looking at the long-term revenue forecasts provided in SPAC mergers that public companies can't make.</p>\n<p>In addition to the EV manufacturers discussed here, there are also EV investment opportunities in charging station companies, battery manufacturers, and battery materials companies. These were covered in the original roadmap and may also be updated in a later article.</p>\n<p>Approximately 2 million EVs were sold in 2019, and although the number declined along with all auto sales in 2020, it is forecasted to increase in 2021 and reach 8-10 million by 2025. Some forecast that EV sales will be greater than internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles by 2030, or even earlier. The automobile market appears to be moving toward a historical transformation, and exceptional investment gains can be made by anticipating new emerging industries and investing in the eventual winners of those new industries. Amazon(NASDAQ:AMZN), Google(NASDAQ:GOOG)(NASDAQ:GOOGL), and Facebook(NASDAQ:FB)are obvious examples. Electric vehicles (EVs) have the potential to create a new emerging industry.</p>\n<p>There are also significant risks. Hundreds of new EV models are expected to be released in the next three years, which will drive rapid growth in EV sales. However, the expected sales from these new models, as well as the increasing expectations from Tesla, most likely exceed the total projected market. I wouldn't be surprised if many of the companies covered here won't exist five years from now. It reminds me of the internet bubble of the late 1990s when scores of internet-based companies went public with little or no revenue. Almost all of these failed within three years -- however, a couple, including Amazon, went on to enormous success.</p>\n<p>EVs provide a major new investment opportunity with high risks. To succeed, you need to have a clear EV investment roadmap.</p>\n<p>So, how can you invest in this new emerging market? The EV landscape is complex and investment opportunities are varied. While Tesla is the unquestioned leader in EVs, some consider it overvalued and unlikely to show exceptional returns to new investors. The current U.S. legacy automakers are committed to introducing many new EVs in the next few years, and they have some entrenched advantages with volume manufacturing capabilities, a dealer infrastructure, and loyal customers. There are exciting new EV start-ups in the U.S. that have come public this year, mostly through Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (SPACs), and there are several interesting publicly traded Chinese EV manufacturers.</p>\n<p>This new roadmap for EV investment classifies companies into three primary markets segments:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>The<b><i>Consumer Retail</i></b>segment includes EVs sold to consumers individually, such as SUVs, pickup trucks, sedans, etc.</li>\n <li>The<b><i>Commercial Delivery</i></b>segment includes local delivery EV vans and trucks sold to fleets.</li>\n <li>The<b><i>Medium- and Long-Haul Trucking</i></b>segment includes heavier Class 4 - Class 8 trucks, as well as special industrial vehicles.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>In addition, it categorizes<b>Legacy Manufacturers</b>and<b>Chinese EV Companies</b>. This enables investors to evaluate investment opportunities by considering unique opportunities within each market segment.</p>\n<p>There is an enormous amount of investment optimism for EVs, and retail investors have been aggressively buying into EV stocks with seemingly no regard for valuation. Then there is the additional challenge of valuing companies with no revenue, especially those coming public through SPACs. So, valuation is an important investment consideration.</p>\n<p>So let's start by looking at an overview of comparative EV valuations.</p>\n<p><b>EV Investment Valuation Overview</b></p>\n<p>The following chart summarizes valuations for 23 EV companies, including several legacy companies. For SPACs, market cap estimates are computed using the pro forma number of shares at closing, otherwise using the valuation of the SPAC prior to closing drastically underestimates the valuation, which may be misleading to novice investors. Price/Sales ratios (market cap divided by revenue) are used to compare valuations. As a benchmark, current P/S ratios vary. For example, auto and truck companies have a ratio of 2.7X. Software companies have the highest ratios of over 10X.</p>\n<p>In the chart, companies that currently have revenue show current P/S ratios. Where projections are available, projected P/S ratios are computed. A note of caution, however. Many of the EV companies came public through SPACs and published their projections (which public companies cannot do), and many of these are likely to prove unrealistic.</p>\n<p>All of the longer-term revenue projections come from the company (C) forecasts with a SPAC. Some of these may turn out to be accurate, not many are most likely unrealistic. Some, like Lucid, Faraday, and Arrival forecast hitting more than $10 billion in revenue in a few years, when it took Tesla more than 10. Things are different now and they might achieve these, but they could also find that it will take longer to complete development, ramp up production, and create enough customer demand. Many companies may also find that there will be significant capital requirements to achieve this type of growth, and shareholders will be diluted.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bc360dfa7de01516b7f68d5962cf3017\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"883\"></p>\n<p>Tesla, the \"gold standard\" in EVs, has a market cap of approximately $650 billion, which many people believe is overvalued. Its market cap is approximately 20X 2020 revenue and 10X estimated 2022 revenue.</p>\n<p><b>Tesla (TSLA)</b></p>\n<p>In the U.S., and to a lesser extent in China, Tesla is the dominant EV provider. It has approximately 60% of the U.S. EV market and about 20% of the market in China. I own a Tesla and love it, but an investment in Tesla stock requires getting comfortable with its valuation. Tesla has a market cap of approximately $650 billion, although declining lately, which some consider still overvalued while others see upside potential.</p>\n<p>The investment opportunity with Tesla is based on the expectation that it will continue to dominate the EV market, or at least maintain significant market share, despite much greater competition from the expected introduction of hundreds of new EV models in the next few years.</p>\n<p>There is a great deal already published about Tesla, so I'll move on.</p>\n<p><b>Legacy Automakers</b></p>\n<p>Some people think that the legacy automakers will simply fade away. Historically, that was the case in some other industries, but it is not going to happen to most automakers. They are not standing still waiting to become obsolete. Most have aggressive strategies to replace ICE vehicles with EVs. GM plans to invest $27 billion and build and launch as many as 30 new EV models by 2025. Ford plans to invest $29 billion in EVs by 2025 and launch as many as 16 EVs in the next two years. Volkswagen(OTCPK:VWAGY)has also committed billions to develop new EVs.</p>\n<p>The competitive advantage that legacy automakers have in selling their new EVs is their dealer network. Will new EV customers prefer to continue going to their regular auto dealer to buy their new EV?</p>\n<p>Almost all legacy automakers worldwide are developing and launching EVs including Volkswagen, Peugeot, Renault/Nissan/Mitsubishi, Hyundai/Kia. Let's look a little more closely at GM and Ford as the leaders in the U.S.</p>\n<p><b>General Motors (GM)</b></p>\n<p>GM has committed to introducing 20 new electric vehicles by 2023, including EVs across Chevrolet, Cadillac, GMC, and Buick. It recently announced that it has already sold out the first-year production of its Hummer electric pickup. By mid-decade, it expects to sell a million EVs per year in its two largest markets: North America and China. As a reference point, Tesla reported deliveries of 367,500 vehicles globally in 2019.</p>\n<p>GM has a solid platform strategy for its EVs. It plans on building its EVs using five interchangeable drive units and three different motors from its Ultium Drive System platform. Ultium energy options range from 50 to 200 kWh, which could enable an estimated range of up to 400 miles. Most of its EVs will have 400-volt battery packs and up to 200 kW fast-charging capability while the truck platform will have 800-volt battery packs and 350 kW fast-charging capabilities.</p>\n<p>The key building blocks of the Ultium battery system are large-scale, high-energy cells. Engineered in partnership with LG Energy Solutions, they use both advanced chemistry and a smart cell design that's optimized for a broad portfolio of EVs. GM engineers and scientists are actively researching and testing new elements in battery chemistry to lower costs and improve charge times. Ultium can contain either vertically- or horizontally-stacked cells to integrate into vehicle design: vertically for trucks, SUVs, and crossovers, or horizontally for cars and performance vehicles. As new chemistry is developed and becomes available, the battery management system could digitally update the modules.</p>\n<p>GM also has other EV opportunities with its BrightDrop commercial EV service and its Cruise subsidiary. BrightDrop will not just sell delivery EVs, it will provide an entire service platform for commercial delivery customers. Its set of electric delivery vehicles starts with the EV600 and includes the BrightDrop EP1, a pod-like electric pallet. SeeGeneral Motors' Aggressive EV/AV Strategies May Payoff Big.</p>\n<p>With its highest stock price of $61.65, GM's current market cap is approximately $89 billion, increasing primarily because of its progress with EVs. This approximately 3X valuation in 2018, but still only 13% of Tesla.</p>\n<p><b>Ford (F)</b></p>\n<p>Ford is also investing heavily in EVs. It just introduced the Mustang Mach-E, a battery-powered crossover with sports car styling, and plans to introduce an all-electric version of its best-selling F-150 pickup later this year. Also, planned is an electric edition of the full-size Transit van, which has been popular in the commercial delivery market. Ford has confirmed plans to build a luxury Lincoln crossover on a battery-powered platform provided by Rivian. The automaker also plans to introduce two new midsize electric crossovers, one each for the Ford and Lincoln brands by 2023.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bd8523e15bccc57790940d4218f7b94e\" tg-width=\"1920\" tg-height=\"1080\"><span>Mustang Mach-E. Source: Ford</span></p>\n<p>Ford's market cap is approximately $51 billion, twice its previous market cap, and also increasing.</p>\n<p><b>Consumer Retail EV Companies</b></p>\n<p>The consumer retail market has some unique characteristics for new EV companies. Sales are made individually, not in fleets. This diversifies the risk upon launch because only a sufficient number of customers need to be attracted to the new EV. A wave of popularity can provide terrific momentum.</p>\n<p>However, the lack of a dealer network can be an impediment. Selling EVs directly to consumers instead of through dealers is prohibited in most states. By law, auto manufacturers can't compete with franchised dealers. These are laws that go back many decades to protect dealers. This can be a major impediment for new companies without established independent dealer franchises. So, new AV companies. like Tesla, need to sell their vehicles online. Tesla has successfully done this, but it took a lot of work and time. Lack of a dealer network also creates impediments in service.</p>\n<p>In addition, over the next 4-5 years, autonomous capabilities will be increasingly important to luxury vehicles. This may prove to be a challenge to start-up EV companies because they can't afford to develop this technology.</p>\n<p>Let's look closer at the alternative consumer retail EV investments.</p>\n<p><b>Lucid Motors (CCIV)</b></p>\n<p>Lucid was founded in 2007 under the name Atieva and originally focused on building electric vehicle batteries and powertrains for other vehicle manufacturers. The company rebranded itself as Lucid Motors in October 2016 and shifted its strategy to develop an all-electric, high-performance, luxury vehicle. Shortly after that, it encountered financial difficulties and struggled to get short-term funding. In 2018 it raised more than $1 billion in investment, primarily from Saudi Arabia's Sovereign Fund, and gave up a majority of the company.</p>\n<p>Lucid Motors reached an agreement to become a publicly-traded company through a merger with the SPAC Churchill Capital IV Corp., in one of the largest deals SPAC EV deals. The combined company, in which Saudi Arabia's Sovereign Fund will continue to be the largest shareholder, had a transaction equity value of $11.75 billion (for $10/share). At the same time, it closed a PIPE investment priced at $15 a share, giving it an implied pro forma equity value of $24 billion. Rumors about this deal circulated before the transaction was formally announced, making it one of the most anticipated SPAC deals. The hype and speculation drove up the stock price of Churchill Capital IV Corp. from its opening price of $10 a share to almost $60. I believe that some of this may have been driven by novice SPAC investors who didn't realize that the valuation of CCIV didn't include the eventual valuation of Lucid. The share price dropped more than 30% after the details of the deal were announced. It's also likely that Lucid renegotiated the terms of the merger based on the price jump.</p>\n<p>The company's first product is the Lucid Air, a well-equipped luxury electric vehicle that features 406 miles of projected range and 480 horsepower with a starting price of $77,400, or $69,900 after the U.S. Federal Tax Credit of $7,500. This new Lucid Air model is positioned as a high-performance, ultra-efficient luxury EV sedan in a line of future vehicles that are expected to include Lucid Air Touring, Grand Touring, and Dream Edition versions.</p>\n<p>The company plans to begin production and deliveries of the Lucid Air in North America in the second half of 2021. Previously the company aimed to begin deliveries earlier in 2021. It intends to sell the car in Europe in 2022, followed by China in 2023. Lucid vehicles will be produced at its new factory in Casa Grande, Arizona. The company plans to expand the factory in phases in the coming years to have the capacity to produce 365,000 units per year at scale. The initial phase of the $700 million factory construction was completed late last year and will have the capacity to produce 30,000 vehicles a year.</p>\n<p>Lucid also apparently has a commitment to build an assembly plant in Saudi Arabia, which was rumored to be a condition of the $1 billion investment from the Saudi public fund. The Saudi Sovereign Wealth Fund also provided $600 million in bridge financing and invested in the SPAC deal as well. So, while this assembly plant may be expensive and may not be critical, it will most likely need to happen.</p>\n<p>Lucid has ambitious plans to achieve $14 billion in revenue in 2025, and its current stock price at $29.17, which gives it a market cap of more than $46 billion, may already reflect those ambitions. Its market cap is roughly the same as Ford.</p>\n<p><b>Fisker (FSR)</b></p>\n<p>Fisker, which had its origins with Fisker Automotive, is an interesting story that ended in bankruptcy. Henrik Fisker originally co-founded Fisker Automotive in 2007. He was responsible for designing many premium cars such as the Aston Martin. Subsequently, Fisker Automotive had to deal with a Tesla lawsuit against Fisker Automotive alleging it stole Tesla's technology, a controversial $528.7 million conditional loan from the Department of Energy, a recall of its battery produced by A123, and the loss of several hundred vehicles in hurricane Sandy. Henrik Fisker resigned in March 2013 because of disagreements over business strategy and in November 2013, Fisker filed its Chapter 11 bankruptcy case.</p>\n<p>However, Henrik Fisker retained the Fisker brand and trademarks, and in 2016 he started another electric vehicle company named Fisker Inc. with the Fisker brand and trademarks. In 2019, Fisker shifted from developing a sports car with a solid-state battery to the Ocean SUV featuring a lithium-ion battery, which it later abandoned for a solid-state battery.</p>\n<p>Fisker is positioning itself in a unique segment for those who want the most environmentally friendly EV. While this may be an early growth segment for EVs, it's difficult to estimate its eventual competitive advantage and the size of this environmentally-friendly market segment.</p>\n<p>The Ocean is a crossover made of recycled metal and plastic with an expected base price of $37,499, and an expected lease of less than $400 a month. Fisker's plan is essentially a lease-only business model that lets customers keep a vehicle for years or return it at any time. It aims to source motors, batteries, and other components from technical partnerships with automakers and will outsource production from existing auto plants. Fisker is currently taking reservations at $250 for the Ocean. It also announced an agreement with Foxconn to jointly develop a vehicle pioneering a new market segment to be sold globally under the Fisker brand commencing in Q4 2023. at the end of 2022. Production will start at Magna Steyr's manufacturing facilities in Europe. At the end of February 2021, it had 12,467 cancellable reservations.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/924a617c90fc3276d7bdab8c64ebfdcf\" tg-width=\"744\" tg-height=\"389\"><span>Fisker Ocean. Source: Fisker</span></p>\n<p>Fisker went public using a SPAC (Spartan Energy). The original combination with SPAQ in October 2020 was valued at $2.9 billion with a cash investment of approximately $1 billion. The stock currently trades at approximately $21 per share, after reaching a high of $28.50, from the original price of $10, which is a market cap of $4.6 billion. Fisker projects $3.3 billion in revenue in 2023. It had almost $1 billion in cash at the end of 2020 and expected to use almost half of this in 2021: $250 million on operating expenses and $250 million in capital investments. If the Ocean is delayed into 2023, Fisker risks missing its revenue objective and will potentially need additional cash to complete development and launch.</p>\n<p><b>Faraday Future (PSAC)</b></p>\n<p>Faraday Future was originally established in May 2014 by Chinese businessman Jia Yueting. It is headquartered in Los Angeles and has offices in Silicon Valley, Beijing, Shanghai, and Chengdu. Faraday Future also had a turbulent history. In 2016, it struggled financially, and in 2017 some key executives departed over a dispute about financial issues. They later founded Canoo.</p>\n<p>In December 2018 the company announced layoffs due to a cash crunch and financial troubles. The company's founder Jia Yueting filed for personal bankruptcy in the United States' federal court in Delaware on October 14, 2019. Following Jia's personal bankruptcy, he decided to step down from his role as CEO of Faraday Future in order to assume a new position as the Chief Product and User Officer. He was replaced as CEO by Carsten Breitfeld, the former CEO at rival electric vehicle startup Byton.</p>\n<p>Somehow, Faraday was able to raise $2.3 billion in private funding over 5 rounds from a variety of investors. In early 2018, it received $1.5 billion in funding from an undisclosed investor from Hong Kong.</p>\n<p>Faraday's flagship product offering will be the FF 91, featuring 1,050 HP, 0-60 mph in less than 2.4 seconds, zero gravity seats with the largest 60-degree reclining angles, and a user experience designed to create a mobile, connected, and luxurious living space. The FF 91 is targeted to launch in 2022.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7e38bfb3211c72bb73bc26f2ebe296fe\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"854\"><span>FF 91. Source: Faraday Future</span></p>\n<p>Its strategic partners include one of China's top three OEMs and a critical Chinese city, which the company believes will help establish its presence in the Chinese vehicle market.</p>\n<p>Faraday Future plans several cars based on its Variable Platform Architecture. FF 91 is the first production vehicle and flagship model. Pricing will range between $120,000 and upwards of $200,000, which places it against formidable opponents. Faraday Future is already looking forward to expanding its range with a pair of smaller models named FF 81 and FF 71. The FF 81 is planned to be priced at $75,000 to 95,000 with a 2023 release. The FF 71 is planned to be priced at $45,000 to $65,000 with a planned release of 2024.</p>\n<p>The Primary Manufacturing Facility for FF 91 is in Hanford, CA with contract manufacturing for future models in Gunsan, South Korea.</p>\n<p>Faraday Future is planning high-Level automation with a Level-3 capable system using a redundant safety architecture based on NVIDIA Xavier System-on-a-chip. It will be capable of highway auto-drive and hardware ready for advanced auto-drive. It is targeting full autonomous valet parking & summon in any parking lot or structure. Eventually, it expects full auto-drive, including full 360˚ sensor coverage for advanced auto-drive & auto-park features.</p>\n<p>In January 2021, Faraday Future announced that the company would go public through a reverse merger with the special purpose acquisition company Property Solutions Acquisition Corp. (PSAC). The combined company will be valued at $3.4 billion. Faraday Future is expected to set up contract manufacturing operations in China through their partnership with Geely. Taiwanese manufacturer Foxconn is also expected to serve as an additional strategic partner.</p>\n<p>Faraday Future projects $10.5 billion in revenue in 2024 and $21.5 billion in 2025. Revenue is expected to start in 2022 with the delivery of 2,400 vehicles for $504 million. Most likely these projections could prove to be optimistic. At a current stock price of approximately $12.80, it has a market cap of about $4.3 billion.</p>\n<p><b>Lordstown Motors (RIDE)</b></p>\n<p>Lordstown Motors based in Lordstown, Ohio, was originally founded in 2018 by Steve Burns, the former CEO of Workhorse Group. The company licensed technology from Workhorse in return for royalties and a 10% ownership. Lordstown is named after the famous GM Lordstown manufacturing plant, which it acquired in November 2019 in an unusual transaction. GM announced that it was closing the plant and was under a great deal of pressure for that decision. So, GM \"sold\" the plant to a company that was renamed Lordstown for an estimated $20 million that it loaned to the acquiring company. Subsequently, the sale was redefined to be part of a $75 million investment by GM, of which $50 million was an in-kind exchange for the plant.</p>\n<p>Lordstown went public through the SPAC DiamondPeak Holdings Corp. in 2020. It currently has more than 400 employees.</p>\n<p>Its first product is the Lordstown Endurance, a full-sized EV pickup truck. Lordstown is positioning Endurance for the pickup fleet market segment. The expected price is $52,000+, and it claimed to have more than 100,000 pre-orders by January 2021. However, a recent research article published by a short seller claimed \"Our research has revealed that Lordstown's order book consists of fake or entirely non-binding orders, from customers that generally do not even have fleets of vehicles.\" Lordstown is disputing that article.</p>\n<p>It believes the fleet pickup market segment is underserved with no current EV-focused competition. It estimates that the full-sized pick-up truck fleet market is 1.2 million vehicles per year in the U.S., but it's more fragmented than other truck fleets. Pickup \"fleets\" tend to be much smaller and local, so there may not be much of a market distinction for a small company buying several EV pickups from a traditional auto dealer. About half of the total U.S. pickup market is classified as fleet sales, meaning more than one.</p>\n<p>Even though Lordstown is targeting the commercial fleet market, it is a similar product to the Ford EV F-150. So I classify it in the consumer EV category. It is a class 2 vehicle. Lordstown also may enter the SUV market in the longer-term.</p>\n<p>The Endurance will compete against future models from Rivian and Tesla, as well as Ford and GM in ICE pick-ups and their upcoming EV pick-ups. Ford plans on selling its EV F-150 in mid-2022. Initial production of the Endurance is expected in the second half of 2021, so it may have a short market advantage. Nevertheless, it forecasts selling 65,000 vehicles in 2023 and 107,000 in 2024. These estimates could be a large percentage of the EV pick-up market in those years.</p>\n<p>At the SPAC merger, the implied valuation for Lordstown was $1.6 billion, including a $500 million PIPE and the $75 million by GM. Lordstown's financial projections appear to be aggressive. It projects to start shipping the Endurance in late 2021 with projected revenue in 2022 of $1.7 billion, increasing to $5.8 billion in 2024. Its stock price at approximately $13.60 values the company at a market cap of approximately $2.2 billion. The value of the company depends on the likelihood of achieving its projections.</p>\n<p>A fleet sales strategy makes sense for Lordstown since it would be too expensive to build a retail sales and service capability. However, it's not clear that this will become a distinct competitive advantage. Some small fleets may still prefer to buy their EV pickups from established local dealers with service capabilities.</p>\n<p><b>Canoo (GOEV)</b></p>\n<p>Canoo started as Evelozcity in 2017 and rebranded as Canoo in the spring of 2019. Canoo is a Los Angeles-based company that develops electric vehicles. It has over 350 employees. Canoo has designed a modular electric platform purpose-built to deliver maximum vehicle interior space, which is adaptable to support a wide range of vehicle applications for consumers and businesses. Canoo expects to launch its first consumer model in 2022, simply named the Canoo that will be available by subscription, followed shortly after by a multi-purpose delivery vehicle and a sports vehicle, each built off of the same underlying platform. Canoo went public using a SPAC (Hennessy Capital Acquisition) and now trades as GOEV.</p>\n<p>Canoo's all-electric skateboard-like platform is designed to support both consumer retail and commercial vehicle configurations. The EV leverages Canoo's flat skateboard architecture for a high level of usable interior space. Its commercial vehicle program, expected in 2023, addresses a projected $50B+ last-mile delivery market with an EV platform that maximizes cargo volume.</p>\n<p>Hyundai Motor Group said it would jointly develop an electric vehicle platform with the company.</p>\n<p>Canoo's platform strategy is interesting. It could be used as an EV platform for custom fleets of delivery vehicles. It has no AV development, but it claims to be \"AV Ready\" which could be useful for AV companies wanting to build custom AV delivery fleets.</p>\n<p>Its all-electric multi-purpose delivery vehicle is expected to be priced starting at approximately $33,000. It is based on Canoo's proprietary electric platform and will be offered in two initial size variants, with others to follow. Limited availability will begin in 2022, with scaled production and launch planned for 2023. Customers can pre-order the multi-purpose delivery vehicle for a refundable deposit of $100 per vehicle</p>\n<p>It plans to offer two multi-purpose delivery vehicles: the MPDV1 and the larger MPDV2. The first has a 200-foot cargo volume and a range of 130-200 miles. It offers more capacity than today's ICE delivery vehicles at an affordable price with urban mobility enabled by a space-efficient footprint. The vehicle is also designed to fit within many height-restricted areas like parking garages.</p>\n<p>The MPDV2 has a cargo volume of 450 feet and a range of 90-190 miles. Its roof and step-in height enable individuals to easily walk-in the vehicle and accommodate a standing position while inside.</p>\n<p>The original SPAC transaction provided approximately $600 million, with a pro forma equity value of approximately $2.4 billion. Like other SPAC mergers, its stock price has fluctuated. It currently trades at about $15.90 per share for a market cap of approximately $3.7 billion. Canoo projects $2.0 billion in revenue in 2025 from about $500 million in engineering services, $1.2 billion from its consumer vehicle subscriptions, and the remainder from its commercial program. Canoo expects revenue of more than $300 million in 2022 after the launch of its lifestyle consumer vehicle.</p>\n<p>Since its first products are aimed at consumers, as is most of its forecasted 2025 revenue, I categorize it primarily as a consumer EV company. However, I think the design of that Canoo vehicle may not attract enough customers. More importantly, its subscription service way of selling its EV to consumers is risky. I think it has more potential in the commercial market, however, a dual strategy (consumer and commercial) is challenging. I like its skateboard platform design and that could prove to be a competitive advantage.</p>\n<p><b>Rivian</b></p>\n<p>Although not yet public, I include Rivian because it has plans for an IPO as soon as Sept 2021, although it could slip into 2022. There are rumors that the company is targeting a market valuation of approximately $50B. Rivian has already raised more than $8 billion to date from Amazon, Ford, T. Rowe Price, and others.</p>\n<p>Rivian has developed and vertically integrated a connected electric platform that can be flexibly applied to a range of applications, including the company's adventure products, as well as B2B products such as the Amazon last-mile delivery vans. The company's initial products, the R1T and R1S, provide a combination of performance, off-road capability, and utility. These vehicles will be produced at Rivian's manufacturing plant in Normal, Ill., with customer deliveries expected to begin in summer 2021. The launch of the R1S three-row electric SUV will follow in August.</p>\n<p>Additional lower-priced models are being planned. The expected R2 series would include at least two smaller electric vehicles to coincide with the smaller platform, then another platform for R3.</p>\n<p><b>Commercial Delivery EV Companies</b></p>\n<p>EV truck companies differ based on the type of truck they are developing. The technology and markets are very different, so I separate them into two categories. The first category includes commercial delivery vehicles.</p>\n<p>Companies making EV delivery vehicles have some major advantages that could make them good investments. First, delivery vehicles typically travel less than 250 miles during a day, so they can be conveniently recharged overnight. Secondly, they are typically sold in large quantities to fleets. This means that building a retail sales infrastructure is not necessary. It only requires a small salesforce. In addition, maintenance can also be provided at the fleet's operational center, so not as many service centers are required.</p>\n<p>The disadvantage in this market is that there are a relatively small number of customers that buy in large volumes, so if the EV manufacturer can't get enough large customers, they may not be able to stay in business. GM estimates the combined market opportunity for parcel and food delivery, as well as reverse logistics, in the U.S. will be more than $850 billion by 2025.</p>\n<p>The commercial market is expected to be a major growth area for EVs. Other start-up automakers like Rivian as well as legacy automakers such as Ford, Daimler, and GM have announced plans to enter the segment. GM recently announced its BrightDrop ecosystem for commercial customers that includes an all-new electric delivery van, the EV600 available by the end of 2021, as well as an integrated autonomous pallet and related services.</p>\n<p>This group of EV companies focuses primarily on commercial delivery. In general, these are in the light-duty trucks category, although it also includes some medium-duty trucks. This generally includes the following commercial truck classes:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Class 1: This class of trucks has a GVWR of 0-6,000 pounds or 0-2,722 kilograms.</li>\n <li>Class 2: This class of trucks has a GVWR of 6,001-10,000 pounds or 2,722-4,536 kilograms.1</li>\n <li>Class 3: This class of trucks has a GVWR of 10,001-14,000 pounds or 4,536-6,350 kilograms.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>It can also include somewhat larger medium-duty EV delivery trucks:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Class 4: This class of trucks has a GVWR of 14,001-16,000 pounds or 6,351-7,257 kilograms.</li>\n <li>Class 5: This class of trucks has a GVWR of 16,001-19,500 pounds or 7,258-8,845 kilograms.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>EV delivery trucks also have an advantage over ICE vehicles because they can have a greater delivery storage space. Smaller buses and transit vehicles are also included in this category.</p>\n<p>Last-mile package delivery is not an immediate-term autonomous vehicle opportunity because it requires a delivery person to be on the truck anyway.</p>\n<p><b>Workhorse Group (WKHS)</b></p>\n<p>Workhorse has been a public company for ten years. Originally AMP Electric Vehicles, it was established in 2007 as a developmental-stage vehicle electrification company, focusing on conversions. AMP Electric Vehicles went public in 2010 trading on the OTC market under the AMPD symbol. When the economic benefits of conversion became less certain, it pivoted away from passenger vehicles and began to focus on electrifying commercial vehicles. AMP acquired the Workhorse brand and the Workhorse custom chassis assembly plant in Union City. In March of 2013, AMP formally changed its name to Workhorse Group Incorporated.</p>\n<p>The Company designs and builds a last-mile delivery electric vehicle. The C-Series EVs cover the larger size of commercial delivery vehicles in Classes 3-5. As part of its solutions, it also develops cloud-based, real-time telematics performance monitoring systems. It sells its vehicles to fleet customers directly and through its primary distributor, Ryder Systems. It is currently focused on bringing the C-Series electric delivery truck to market and fulfilling the existing backlog of orders.</p>\n<p>The C-Series looks like a viable EV replacement for the 350,000 last-mile delivery vehicles sold in the U.S. annually. It recently announced an increased driving range from 100 miles to 160, which should open more market opportunities. It has a viable short-term go-to-market strategy selling fleets to delivery companies. It currently has test vehicles with UPS, DHL, FedEx, Amazon, and Walmart.</p>\n<p>Workhorse recently lost out on the United States Postal Services Next Generation Delivery Vehicle project, however, it is in the process of challenging this decision. Additionally, its investment in Lordstown also provides an indirect investment opportunity. On November 7, 2019, the Company entered a transaction with Lordstown Motors to grant LMC a perpetual and worldwide license to certain intellectual property relating to its W-15 electric pickup truck platform and related technology in exchange for royalties, equity interest (approximately 10%) in LMC, and other considerations. This was a $320 million asset for Workhorse at the end of 2020.</p>\n<p>Workhorse received a significant increase in orders in Q4/2020 but built just seven trucks in the fourth quarter due to production systems and supply chain issues. Workhorse plans to continue to take it slow, striving to build three of its composite-body battery-electric trucks a day in March with a plan to reach 10 trucks a day by the end of June. This makes its original 2021 goal of producing 1,800 trucks unlikely. It partnered with Hitachi and Hitachi Capital America (\"HCA\") to improve the Company's manufacturing, operational, and supply chain capabilities as well as to develop a national dealer network to support Workhorse's sales with vehicle financing options for both dealers and customers.</p>\n<p>Workhorse has a market cap of approximately $1.9 billion. While Workhorse had ongoing revenue, unlike many other new EV companies, its revenue is still insignificant. It had a revenue of $1.4 million in 2020 and $377,000 in 2019. It has a backlog of over 8,000 vehicles but doesn't expect to be able to build many of those in 2021. It raised $270 million in capital over several financings, providing the Company with additional capital to build its backlog. It had cash of $215 million as of March 1, 2021. Because Workhorse is a traditional public company, it hasn't made long-term financial projections like SPAC-based companies.</p>\n<p><b>Electric Last Mile (FIII)</b></p>\n<p>Electric Last Mile, based in Troy Michigan, was founded by Jason Luo, former CEO of Ford China before it was acquired by China's Ningbo Joyson Electronic for $920 million in 2016, including James Taylor, former CEO of GM's Hummer brand and former CEO of electric car maker Karma Automotive. Taylor serves as the company's top executive with Luo as the company's chairman.</p>\n<p>The company plans to launch a small electric delivery van (class 1-2), called the UD-1, in the third quarter of 2021, and then introduce an Urban Utility vehicle (Class 2-3) in 2022. These are expected to compete with Workhorse, Rivian, Canoo, as well as the Ford eTransit and the GMC BV1, none of which is expected to be a Class 1 vehicle.</p>\n<p>The company says it has 30,000 preorders for its van, representing more than $1 billion in sales. Electric Last Miles vehicles will be based on Sokon's commercial van made in China through a joint venture with Dongfeng Automobile Co Ltd. in order to accelerate development time.</p>\n<p>Electric Last Mile (ELM) is expected to manufacture the vans in a former General Motors Co. Hummer plant in Mishawaka, Ind., that the company is acquiring from China's Chongqing Sokon Industry Group Stock Co. Ltd. The plant has the capacity to produce 100,000 vehicles annually with plans to build approximately 4,000 UD-1 vans by the end of 2021. The UD-1 has a starting price of $32,500 and a range of 150 miles. The battery for the vehicle is expected to be supplied by the Chinese battery company CATL.</p>\n<p>ELM believes that it has a competitive advantage because its first vehicle, the ELM Urban Delivery, is scheduled to be available in 2021. It is based on a proven, existing platform developed and sold by Sokon Group in the Asian market, where there are 30,000 of these electric delivery vehicles driving 1.5 million miles every day. At the close of the business combination, ELM will be an independent, U.S. company producing electric vehicles in the U.S. with Sokon Group providing access to its know-how, parts supply, and field and service data.</p>\n<p>ELM expects that the Urban Delivery vehicle will be the first electric delivery vehicle coming to market in the class 1 category (GVW of 6,000 lbs or less) in the U.S. It will also have 35% more carrying volume compared to similar ICE delivery vehicles, a critical part of the value proposition. It also anticipates that its price and greater carrying volume will allow it to take market share from the class 2 category of vehicles as well.</p>\n<p>Its crossover product portfolio strategy targets commercial delivery vehicles spanning from class 1 to class 3, which represents over 80% of the last mile market.</p>\n<p>ELM anticipates $122 million in revenue in 2021, rapidly increasing to $3 billion in 2025. The price of FIII stock increased immediately following its announcement with Electric Last Mile, rising more than 40% to $14.50, but now it has dropped closer to the original deal price to $10.25 for a market cap of approximately $1.5 billion.</p>\n<p><b>GreenPower Motor Company (GP)</b></p>\n<p>GreenPower Motor Company Inc. is a Canadian battery-electric bus manufacturer with multiple models of high- and low-floor vehicles, including transit buses, school buses, and shuttles. GreenPower offers commercial vehicles for delivery, public transit, schools, vanpooling, micro-transit, shuttles, and is developing a capability of autonomous operation. It went public on August 28, 2020.</p>\n<p>In 2014 GreenPower launched its first purpose-built, battery-electric bus, the EV350, 40-foot transit bus. GreenPower received its first order in 2017 for ten EV350s from the City of Porterville, California.</p>\n<p>GreenPower's electric buses are purpose-built and designed to be all-electric, allowing it to put the battery and propulsion system in optimized locations that provide weight and structural advantages. Its primary EV is the EV Star with more than 120 vehicles delivered. It comes in several variations:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>EV Star - Up to 19 passengers</li>\n <li>EV Star Plus - Up to 24 passengers</li>\n <li>EV Star ADA - Passenger and curbside lift for ADA</li>\n <li>EV Star Cargo - 5,000 pounds of load</li>\n <li>EV Star Cargo Plus - 570 cubic feet of cargo space.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Its EV school bus seats up to 90 students and has a range of up to 150 miles.</p>\n<p>GreenPower had revenue of $13.5 million in 2020 It has about $21 million in cash. It's an interesting alternative since it is already shipping EVs, has revenue, and also has a lower market cap of less than $1 billion. Since it did a traditional IPO, it hasn't published longer-term financial forecasts.</p>\n<p><b>Arrival (CIIC)</b></p>\n<p>Arrival was founded in 2015 in London to make a variety of commercial electric vehicles. It has approximately 1,200 employees across 11 cities in 8 countries. In November 2020, Arrival and the SPAC CIIG entered into a business combination agreement with an implied valuation of $5.39 billion.</p>\n<p>Arrival plans on releasing four commercial EVs over the next few years.</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Q4/2021: An electric bus for 8-125 passengers and a range of 240-400km</li>\n <li>Q3/2022: An electric delivery van with a payload of 975-2,000kg and a range of 150-340km</li>\n <li>2022: A larger electric van with a payload of 4,000 kg and a range of 190-400km</li>\n <li>2023: a small vehicle platform with a range of 100-300km.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>This mix provides a nice diversified portfolio of EVs. Arrival claims to have received orders from UPS for 10,000 vans. It plans a unique flexible manufacturing approach using micro-factories with each projected to manufacture 10,000 vans per year. All of its vehicles use a modular skateboard electric platform.</p>\n<p>Arrival ambitiously projects $14.1 billion in revenue in 2024. Half of that revenue is expected from delivery vans, 22% from buses, and the rest from the large van and its small vehicle platform. With CIIC's stock price at $24.80 per share, Arrival's current market cap is relatively high at approximately $15.0 billion. Justifying its market cap depends on its ability to release, sell, and produce its four commercial EVs.</p>\n<p><b>Proterra (ACTC)</b></p>\n<p>Proterra is a commercial electric vehicle company with over a decade of production experience. The Company has designed an end-to-end, flexible technology platform that claims to deliver higher performance and a low total cost of ownership to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and end customers.</p>\n<p>Proterra, Inc., was originally founded in Golden, Colorado, by Dale Hill in 2004. Later the company wanted to take the lead in creating zero-emission, U.S.-based transit buses. In 2010 it moved its manufacturing plant from Golden, Colorado to Greenville, South Carolina. In 2015, Proterra was awarded a $3 million grant from the California Energy Commission to fund the design, development, and construction of the company's battery-electric transit bus manufacturing line in the City of Industry, California. It moved its headquarters from Greenville, South Carolina, to Burlingame, California, in October 2015. Proterra raised more than $600 million in funding.</p>\n<p>It is going public through the SPAC ArcLight (ACTC) with a pro forma valuation of $1.6 billion. Upon completion of the transaction, Proterra expects to have up to $825 million in cash to fund growth initiatives, including R&D and the expansion of its next-generation battery program.</p>\n<p>Proterra has three complementary businesses:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>Proterra Powered</b>: Delivering battery systems and electrification solutions to commercial vehicle manufacturers</li>\n <li><b>Proterra Transit:</b>Providing an electric transit bus OEMs</li>\n <li><b>Proterra Energy:</b>Offering turnkey charging and energy management solutions.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The company's battery systems have been proven in more than 16 million service miles driven by its fleet of transit vehicles and validated through partnerships with commercial vehicle OEMs. Proterra has produced and delivered more than 300 megawatt-hours of battery systems, more than 550 heavy-duty electric transit buses, and installed 54 megawatts of charging systems.</p>\n<p>Proterra expected $193 million of revenue in 2020, with an estimated $750 million in existing orders and backlog. It projects $2.5 billion in revenue in 2025, with about 1/3 coming from its Transit business, and 2/3 From Powered & Energy. At ACTC's current stock price of $17.85, Proterra has a market cap of about $4.3 billion.</p>\n<p><b>Rivian</b></p>\n<p>Rivian (see earlier description in consumer retail) will also compete in the commercial delivery market. It has been working with Amazon (a major investor) to build large electric delivery vans for Prime. Developed specifically for Amazon, a small fleet of Prime vans is on the road now, testing deliveries to customers and gathering feedback. In late fall, it could grow to a large fleet as Rivian ramps up the volume.</p>\n<p>The EV range of 150 miles is tailored to Amazon's use cycle to optimize the size, weight, and cost of the commercial vehicle. Rivian has three sizes of batteries, but Amazon is starting with just one of them.</p>\n<p><b>Canoo (GOEV)</b></p>\n<p>See the previous summary under consumer retail EV.</p>\n<p>Medium and Long-Haul Trucking EV Companies</p>\n<p>Companies developing medium- and long-haul EV trucks face a more difficult challenge with battery range. These trucks haul much more weight than commercial delivery vehicles and because they are designed for long distances, they can't stop every 200-300 miles for recharging.</p>\n<p>For this reason, many of these companies are using unique hybrid technologies for their trucks. The EV trucks in this category are primarily heavy-duty but also include some medium-duty trucks and specialty vehicles. A couple of the companies focus on retrofitting trucks to be electric.</p>\n<p><b>Medium-Duty Trucks</b></p>\n<p>The medium-duty trucks category includes commercial truck classes 4, 5, and 6:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Class 4: This class of trucks has a GVWR of 14,001-16,000 pounds or 6,351-7,257 kilograms.</li>\n <li>Class 5: This class of trucks has a GVWR of 16,001-19,500 pounds or 7,258-8,845 kilograms.</li>\n <li>Class 6: This class of trucks has a GVWR of 19,501-26,000 pounds or 8,846-11,793 kilograms.1</li>\n</ul>\n<p><b>Heavy-Duty Trucks</b></p>\n<p>The heavy-duty trucks category includes commercial truck classes 7 and 8:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Class 7: This class of trucks has a GVWR of 26,001 to 33,000 pounds or 11,794-14,969 kilograms.</li>\n <li>Class 8: This class of trucks has a GVWR of greater than 33,001 pounds or 14,969 kilograms and includes all tractor-trailers.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The Tesla Semi is a battery vehicle planned for a range of 300 or 500 miles and a speed of 60 MPH with 80,000 lbs of cargo. Tesla plans to start shipping the Semi later this year when it expects to have sufficient cell volume to meet its needs with the production of its 4680 battery pack.</p>\n<p><b>Nikola</b><b>(NASDAQ:NKLA)</b></p>\n<p>Nikola has been a very controversial company. Founded in 2015, it originally had two different strategies. Its primary strategy is to lease fuel-cell electric vehicle (FCEV) Class-8 heavy trucks and provide the refueling infrastructure to corporate customers. Its second strategy was to develop the Badger EV truck using GM technology.</p>\n<p>Nikola originally merged with a SPAC to go public, at an enterprise value of approximately $3.3 billion. On June 6th, 2020, its market cap jumped to more than $30 billion, then later it dropped because of problems with its originally planned deal with GM.</p>\n<p>Nikola originally expected a deal with General Motors that included the production of the Nikola Badger EV pickup truck. The proposed arrangement was that GM would take a $2 billion equity stake in Nikola and in return would engineer and produce the Badger. In November 2020, GM and Nikola scrapped the original arrangement. Now it appears that GM will supply Nikola with only its Hydrotec hydrogen fuel-cell technology to integrate into the EV manufacturer's commercial class 7 and class 8 zero-emission semi-trucks. So, the Badger is probably dead.</p>\n<p>Nikola now sees semi-trucks as the company's \"core business\" and fuel cells as an increasingly important segment of the semi-truck market thanks to their efficiency in weight and consumption. It expects to begin testing by the end of 2021.</p>\n<p>It has received pre-orders from Anheuser-Busch and a few other companies, but it doesn't expect deliveries until 2023. Hydrogen fueling stations are key to its strategy, both providing a source of revenue and necessary fueling infrastructure for the trucks to operate, but they also cost a lot. In its March 2020 investor deck, Nikola said a single station capable of fueling 210 trucks a day would cost $16.6 million. Its initial planned network of 700 stations would cost roughly $11.6 billion.</p>\n<p>Nikola was also accused of misrepresentation, and its executive chairman and founder stepped down.</p>\n<p>At the time of the SPAC merger, it projected an optimistic forecast of more than $3 billion in revenue by 2024, with a net income of $145 million. Most of that revenue was expected to come from its Badger truck, which is no longer in the plans. Yet its market cap is still almost $6 billion.</p>\n<p><b>Hyliion (HYLN)</b></p>\n<p>Hyliion, founded in 2015 in Austin, went public in October 2020 through the SPAC Tortoise Acquisition Corp. (SHLL). In March 2019, automotive parts manufacturer Dana Inc. made an equity investment into Hyliion, and together they are manufacturing and marketing Class 8 EVs to Dana's customers, including Volvo, Navistar, and Peterbilt.</p>\n<p>Hyliion's strategy is unique, and a very different strategy from Nikola. Essentially it generates electricity onboard the truck using compressed natural gas (CNG). This should be a benefit for longer-range trucking. Hyliion's Hypertruck concept involves an all-electric drivetrain utilizing Dana's electric motor, inverter, and axle technologies. The truck's batteries are fueled by onboard tanks of CNG. With some 700 CNG stations already operating nationwide, it believes that there no need to build out expensive superchargers or hydrogen infrastructure.</p>\n<p>Kuwait-based logistics company, Agility, has already placed an order for 1,000 Hypertrucks with initial deliveries targeted in 2022. Combined with a fully electric drivetrain and a natural gas-powered onboard generator to recharge the battery, the Hypertruck ERX will provide more than 1,000 miles of range.</p>\n<p>Hyliion will eventually compete with Nikola (FCEV) and the Tesla battery-based Semi, but it plans to have a longer range and lower operating costs. Its HyperTruck ERX is expected to be available in 2021. It also has a hybrid-electric truck.</p>\n<p>The combination with SHLL had an estimated market cap of about $1.5 billion, with approximately $530 million going to the company, including a $325 million fully committed PIPE. At approximately $13.50 per share, its current market cap is approximately $2.2 billion, significantly down from its peak. Hyliion projects $2 billion in revenue in 2024, which it claims is only about 2% of the addressable market.</p>\n<p><b>XL Fleet (XL)</b></p>\n<p>XL Fleet is a 10-year old company that went public through the SPAC Pivotal. XL is different because it provides fleet electrification modifications for ICE trucks across a wide range of vehicle classes (class 2-5) and types. It has over 200 of the largest commercial and municipal fleets as customers, with more than 3,200 XL systems deployed and over 130 million miles driven by customers to date. XL's customer base includes FedEx, Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Verizon, the City of Boston, Seattle Fire Department, Yale University, and Harvard University.</p>\n<p>XL's business model is essentially retrofitting existing trucks to be hybrids and then later expanding into fully electric truck conversions. It claims to be creating a fully integrated platform for this. It remains to be seen if the retrofitting business will continue to grow or will it diminish when more trucks are designed and manufactured with EV capabilities.</p>\n<p>Unlike some other EV companies that have no revenue yet because they are still developing products, XL is more of a small company doing low-volume retrofits. It had $7.2 million in revenue in 2019, $21 million in 2020, and estimates $76 million in 2021, but it forecasts $1.3 billion in revenue in 2024 in its investor presentation. It plans to do this by expanding its product line from hybrid to plug-in hybrid to fully electric across a broader range of trucks. It claims to have a $220 million sales pipeline for the next 12 months.</p>\n<p>Short-seller, Muddy Waters, claimed after talking to former XL Fleet employees, that it believed the company significantly exaggerated its order backlog, that the return on investment for the company's products was likely negative, and that it would not be able to compete with big car makers on electrification. The company thoroughly refuted these claims.</p>\n<p>The original enterprise valuation was approximately $1.4 billion at a $10 share price for the merger. Its price jumped by about 35% but has since gone back down to $12.40 for a market cap of about $1.8 billion. Although XL Fleet has revenue and other EV companies don't, this may not be an advantage. It appears to be a small company for many years that has gone public at a high valuation with grand plans. The risks are in its ability to make a jump from $76 million in 2021 to $1.3 billion in 2024, as well as the question about retrofitting being replaced by new EV trucks by then.</p>\n<p><b>Xos (NGAC)</b></p>\n<p>Xos Trucks specializes in the field of manufacturing fully electric commercial vehicles. It features a software platform that is designed to accommodate an extensive variety of medium-duty bodies, wheelbase, and range requirements up to 200 miles. It was founded in 2016 and headquartered in North Hollywood, California. It received $20 million of investment in 2020 and now is going public through a merger with the SPAC ExtGen Acquisition Corporation (NGAC) at an estimated proforma value of $1.965 billion.</p>\n<p>Its focus is on medium- and heavy-duty last mile and return-to-base segments (class 5/6, class 6/7, and class 7/8) commercial fleets and specialty vehicles. Some vehicles are currently in production and in regular on-road operations with key fleet customers, and it claimed 6,000 unit orders in backlog.</p>\n<p>Its MD-platform is for classes 5-6 for pickup and delivery. Its HD X-Platform is an adaptable chassis for highway, vocational, and severe work conditions. Its market is for customers with highly predictable routes that allow for batteries designed for a more limited range. A significantly larger frame and smaller battery pack allow for reduced density.</p>\n<p>Xos has a bundled all-in-one offering that allows fleets to access all the tools and services they need to go electric with a single point of contact at a fixed monthly expense.</p>\n<p>Xos had $3 million in revenue in 2020 and estimates $14 million in 2021. However, it forecasts $5.2 billion in revenue in 2025. At the current stock price of $10.30, its market cap is approximately $2 billion, about the same as its original SPAC transaction.</p>\n<p><b>Lion Electric (NGA)</b></p>\n<p>Lion Electric is a Canadian company founded by Marc Bédard in 2008. Its focus is to be a leader in designing, developing, and manufacturing purpose-built urban electric vehicles; vehicles that are specifically designed as delivery trucks, refuse trucks, bucket trucks, moving trucks, school buses, and shuttle buses. It has over 300 all-electric vehicles on the road today.</p>\n<p>In November 2020, it announced that it was going public through the SPAC NGA. The transaction had an estimated pro forma enterprise value of $1.5 billion.</p>\n<p>It plans on seven new truck models and one new school bus, for a total of 15 all-electric vehicles, representing a full line-up from class 5 to class 8 electric trucks and a full line-up of electric school buses. Its vehicles are produced at its existing manufacturing plant, which has the capacity for the production of up to 2,500 vehicles per year. It intends to open a new plant in the U.S. capable of delivering over 20,000 Lion trucks and buses per year by 2022.</p>\n<p>Its all-electric class 6 and class 8 commercial urban trucks combine power, comfort, and modern technology. Custom-built chassis and cabin designed specifically for an all-electric heavy-duty vehicle. The LionC is an all-electric Type C school bus manufactured in North America. The body and chassis were specifically designed to deliver optimal performance. The LionM is an all-electric midi/minibus that meets paratransit and public transportation requirements. Created and designed specifically for the paratransit market, the is spacious and offers unique features that provide enhanced security and accessibility to the end-users.</p>\n<p>Lion Electric had $29 million in revenue in 2020 and expects $204 million in 2021. It forecasts revenue to jump to $3.6 billion a few years later in 2024. Its current market cap is approximately $3.6 billion based on its current stock price of $18.33.</p>\n<p><b>Lightning eMotors (GIK)</b></p>\n<p>Lightning eMotors, formerly Lightning Systems, was founded in 2008 and is headquartered in Loveland, Colorado. It provides fleet electrification for familiar commercial vehicle platforms by retrofitting them with its electric powertrains. Lightning eMotors produces electric fleet medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, including delivery trucks, shuttle buses, passenger vans, ambulances, bucket trucks, chassis-cab models, and city transit buses. It focuses on urban commercial zero-emission vehicles with a full range of class 3 through class 7 battery-electric and fuel-cell electric vehicles.</p>\n<p>Lighting eMotors helps commercial fleets achieve their sustainability goals by offering zero-emission battery-electric vans, trucks, and buses based on familiar, proven vehicles from manufacturers such as Ford and GM. It works with customers, to help them identify their unique commercial electric vehicle, charging, and grant support needs.</p>\n<p>The Lightning products include integrated all-electric powertrains for the Ford Transit 350HD passenger and cargo vans, Ford E-450 shuttle bus and cutaway models, Ford F-59 step/food van, Ford F-550 cargo trucks and buses, Chevrolet 6500XD Low Cab Forward model, and 30-foot, 35-foot, and 40-foot transit buses.</p>\n<p>Lightning has 120 vehicles on the road, and 1,500 vehicles already on order from customers. In addition to making vehicles and powertrains, Lightning also provides a full suite of charging solutions for customers.</p>\n<p>The deal with GIK has an enterprise value of $650 million, although there is also an Earnout of 20.0% of total pro forma shares outstanding to Lightning eMotors shareholders if the stock crosses certain price thresholds.</p>\n<p>At the current price, of $11.73, GIK has a market cap of approximately $1 billion, a little more than the original transaction valuation. Similar to XL Fleet, Lightning has the risk that retrofitting may only be an interim business opportunity until more EV trucks are produced.</p>\n<p><b>Public Chinese EV Companies</b></p>\n<p>China will be the biggest EV market opportunity, and EV start-ups may do better there because there isn't as much entrenched competition from domestic auto companies. China is already the largest EV market in the world, with almost a million EVs sold in 2019. Its EV market represents almost half of the global EV sales volume and is much larger than the U.S. market.</p>\n<p>The Chinese government has ambitions to become a global leader in new energy vehicles. Soon after the coronavirus outbreak subsided within the country, Chinese authorities announced new policies to support the auto and electric vehicle industries.</p>\n<p>These Chinese companies are traded through American depository shares (ADS) that contain certain risks. There are financial reporting and transparency risks with these companies, and on top of that, the newer companies are being classified as \"emerging growth\" companies that are already exempt from certain transparency requirements set out in the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Like the previous EV stock, these stocks have also been very volatile.</p>\n<p>In addition to legacy auto manufacturers like BYD, there are also three Chinese EV companies that are publicly traded through American depositary shares.</p>\n<p><b>BYD Co., Ltd. (OTCPK:BYDDY)</b></p>\n<p>BYD, which means build your dreams, is the automotive subsidiary of the Chinese multinational BYD Co Ltd. It was founded in January 2003, following BYD Company's acquisition of Tsinchuan Automobile Company. The company produces automobiles, buses, electric bicycles, forklifts, rechargeable batteries, and trucks. The current model range of automobiles includes electric vehicles, plug-in hybrids, and petrol-engined vehicles. Thirteen years ago, on the advice of his famously skeptical lieutenant, Charlie Munger, Warren Buffett made a $232 million investment in BYD, a relatively unknown Chinese car company.</p>\n<p>By parlaying BYD's rechargeable battery technology into a fast-growing carmaking operation, it gained a foothold in the fledgling electric vehicle market, building longer-lasting batteries and cheaper vehicles than American and Japanese manufacturers were managing to do at the time. In BYD, Buffett and Munger believed they had found a company with a shot at one day becoming the largest player in a global automobile market that was inevitably going electric.</p>\n<p>BYD's start to 2021 was strong with 19,871 plug-in electric cars sold in January in China, including hybrid plug-ins. That was a big increase over 2020 but not as much as 2019.</p>\n<p><b>LI Auto (LI)</b></p>\n<p>Lixiang, formerly known as Chehejia (\"Car and Home\"), was founded in 2015 and went public in the U.S. on July 30th, 2020. It is a Beijing-based electric-vehicle startup with vertically integrated manufacturing. It designs, researches, manufactures, sells, and offers services featuring a few models of electric vehicles.</p>\n<p>The company's SUVs are hybrids of a sort. They use electric motors (one on the front axle and one on the rear), but those motors are powered by a combination of a 40.5kWh battery pack<i>and</i>a 1.2-liter turbocharged engine paired to a 45-liter fuel tank and a 100kW electric generator, which generates power for the battery pack in real-time. The idea is that the car can be driven for about 100 miles on battery power alone, but it has a total range of nearly 500 miles when leveraging the combustion engine generator.</p>\n<p>The Company's primary product is an SUV under its brand Li ONE. It also sells peripheral products and provides related services, such as charging stalls, vehicle internet connection services, and extended lifetime warranties. Li Auto is looking to sell a variety of SUVs built on its hybrid technology that range from around $21,000 to about $70,000. The company started shipping its first model in late 2019. It's a midsize SUV is well-appointed and has lots of touchscreens and technology. A full-size premium version is planned for release in 2022.</p>\n<p>Deliveries of Li ONEs were 14,464 vehicles in the fourth quarter of 2020, representing a 67.0% quarter-over-quarter increase and setting a new quarterly record. Deliveries for the full year 2020 reached 32,624 vehicles. Revenue in the fourth quarter was $635 million.</p>\n<p>LI auto went public on July 30th, 2020, raising $1.1 billion at an initial price of $15.50 per share but quickly reached almost $24. It is currently valued at approximately $37 billion at a price of approximately $25.72 per share.</p>\n<p><b>XPeng (XPEV)</b></p>\n<p>Xiaopeng (XPeng) Motors is a Chinese electric vehicle and technology company that designs and manufactures smart cars. It was founded in 2015 and went public on August 27, 2020, using American depository shares, raising about $1 billion. To date, it has raised about $2.6 billion.</p>\n<p>XPeng aims its EVs at technology-savvy middle-class Chinese consumers, with prices ranging from $22,000 to $45,000 after government subsidies. In some ways, it is a Tesla knock-off at a much lower price. XPeng started production of the G3 in November 2018, and as of July 31, 2020, delivered 18,741. It started production of the P7 and began delivery in May 2020, and as of July 31, 2020, it had delivered 1,966 EVs. The P7 has a range of more than 400 miles. It plans to launch a third Smart EV, a sedan, in 2021. The G3 was among the top-three best-selling electric SUVs in China in 2019.</p>\n<p>XPeng is interesting because it has a platform strategy and is moving aggressively into autonomous driving. It uses a platform strategy to expand product offerings by launching one Smart EV model each year to broaden the addressable market. It builds new models on two highly flexible Smart EV platforms, called David and Edward, respectively. The David platform has been designed for vehicles with wheelbases ranging from 2,600 millimeters to 2,800 millimeters, and the Edward platform has been designed for vehicles with wheelbases ranging from 2,800 millimeters to 3,100 millimeters. It also adopted a platform approach for software systems.</p>\n<p>XPeng claims to be developing an autonomous driving capability for its EVs. The P7 is the first production vehicle to feature the NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Xavier system-on-a-chip (SoC) autonomous driving platform. The company's Smart Electric Platform Architecture (SEPA) runs on 2 chips - NVIDIA for the XPILOT and Qualcomm's Snapdragon™ 820A for intelligent services and infotainment, including cameras inside and outside, radars, HD-map, and ultrasonic sensors. Like Tesla, it claims it can create sufficiently-autonomous driving without lidar.</p>\n<p>To enhance brand recognition and allow more people to experience its Smart EVs, it deployed a small number of Smart EVs in a ride-hailing service in Guangzhou on a trial basis, but it has no current plan to scale up a ride-hailing service.</p>\n<p>Xpeng sees first-quarter 2021 deliveries rising 450% year-over-year to 12,500 vehicles. Revenues are expected to increase 533% from a year ago. The company didn't provide bottom-line estimates for the quarter, but will likely post another net loss as it ramps up manufacturing, invests in R&D, and builds out a new manufacturing plant set to open in 2022.</p>\n<p>Xpeng reported selling 12,964 vehicles in Q4 2020, up 303% from a year ago. It delivered a total of 27,041 vehicles in 2020, up 112%. It makes the P7 sedan, a rival to the made-in-China Tesla Model 3, and the small G3 SUV.</p>\n<p>The stock opened on August 27, 2020 at a price of $15 and a valuation of $11 billion, but its stock jumped more than 40% shortly after. Its current valuation is about $35 billion at a stock price of approximately $36.13 per share. It had about $300 million in revenue in 2019 with a loss of about $500 million.</p>\n<p><b>Nio (NIO)</b></p>\n<p>Unlike previous companies, Nio has been a public company for some time. It originally went public in the U.S. back in September of 2018, selling IPO shares at $6.26 and raising $1 billion.</p>\n<p>Nio's IPO was far from smooth. After going public at $6.26 per share, it traded down to nearly $1. Then in the middle of the coronavirus outbreak, Nio received a much-needed investment of $1 billion from investors, including state-backed entities.</p>\n<p>Nio designs, jointly manufactures, and sells smart and connected premium electric vehicles, attempting to develop next-generation technologies in connectivity, autonomous driving, and artificial intelligence. Joint manufacturing means that it uses a state-owned contract manufacturer to build its cars.</p>\n<p>Nio plans to provide customers with comprehensive, convenient, and innovative charging solutions and other user-centric services. It began deliveries of the ES8, a 7-seater high-performance premium electric SUV in China in June 2018, and its variant, the six-seater ES8, in March 2019. Nio officially launched the ES6, a 5-seater high-performance premium electric SUV, in December 2018 and began deliveries in June 2019. It officially launched the EC6, a 5-seater smart premium electric Coupe SUV, in December 2019 with deliveries in 2020.</p>\n<p>Nio sold 17,353 EVs in Q4/2020 and 43,728 for the year. It warned a shortage in chips and batteries will force a production slowdown to 7,500 a month in Q2 from 10,000 vehicles a month in February.</p>\n<p>Nio currently trades at more than $43 per share, including a big jump recently, for a valuation of approximately $48 billion. It had revenue of $2.3 billion in 2019 for a loss of $3.8 billion.</p>\n<p><b>Summary</b></p>\n<p>It's almost a foregone conclusion that EVs will replace ICE vehicles in the next decade, and this should provide exciting new investment opportunities. However, the investment terrain is complex. There are dozens of new start-ups where the public can now invest that were previously exclusively venture capital investment opportunities. Many of these are following different roads to success. There are legacy auto manufacturers that could prosper or get destroyed in this transition. There are some exciting new EV company opportunities in China. And then there is Tesla.</p>\n<p>This EV roadmap is intended to help investors explore different roads to investment by explaining the basic strategies for these EV companies. These roads can have different opportunities and risks, and the roadmap helps to frame these. Above all, valuation is an overriding risk that is highlighted throughout this article.</p>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Many new EV companies entered the market, most of them through SPACs. Valuations fluctuated wildly, and there has been a great deal of publicity around these companies.\nThis new updated EV investment roadmap is greatly expanded. In addition to updating the strategies and progress of companies previously discussed, I expanded the number of companies covered. This article also groups EV companies into their primary markets, enabling better comparisons and evaluation of market opportunities. In addition, it includes a comparative valuation chart showing every company's market cap with a comparison to projected revenue, where possible. This takes advantage (good or bad) of looking at the long-term revenue forecasts provided in SPAC mergers that public companies can't make.\nIn addition to the EV manufacturers discussed here, there are also EV investment opportunities in charging station companies, battery manufacturers, and battery materials companies. These were covered in the original roadmap and may also be updated in a later article.\nApproximately 2 million EVs were sold in 2019, and although the number declined along with all auto sales in 2020, it is forecasted to increase in 2021 and reach 8-10 million by 2025. Some forecast that EV sales will be greater than internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles by 2030, or even earlier. The automobile market appears to be moving toward a historical transformation, and exceptional investment gains can be made by anticipating new emerging industries and investing in the eventual winners of those new industries. Amazon(NASDAQ:AMZN), Google(NASDAQ:GOOG)(NASDAQ:GOOGL), and Facebook(NASDAQ:FB)are obvious examples. Electric vehicles (EVs) have the potential to create a new emerging industry.\nThere are also significant risks. Hundreds of new EV models are expected to be released in the next three years, which will drive rapid growth in EV sales. However, the expected sales from these new models, as well as the increasing expectations from Tesla, most likely exceed the total projected market. I wouldn't be surprised if many of the companies covered here won't exist five years from now. It reminds me of the internet bubble of the late 1990s when scores of internet-based companies went public with little or no revenue. Almost all of these failed within three years -- however, a couple, including Amazon, went on to enormous success.\nEVs provide a major new investment opportunity with high risks. To succeed, you need to have a clear EV investment roadmap.\nSo, how can you invest in this new emerging market? The EV landscape is complex and investment opportunities are varied. While Tesla is the unquestioned leader in EVs, some consider it overvalued and unlikely to show exceptional returns to new investors. The current U.S. legacy automakers are committed to introducing many new EVs in the next few years, and they have some entrenched advantages with volume manufacturing capabilities, a dealer infrastructure, and loyal customers. There are exciting new EV start-ups in the U.S. that have come public this year, mostly through Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (SPACs), and there are several interesting publicly traded Chinese EV manufacturers.\nThis new roadmap for EV investment classifies companies into three primary markets segments:\n\nTheConsumer Retailsegment includes EVs sold to consumers individually, such as SUVs, pickup trucks, sedans, etc.\nTheCommercial Deliverysegment includes local delivery EV vans and trucks sold to fleets.\nTheMedium- and Long-Haul Truckingsegment includes heavier Class 4 - Class 8 trucks, as well as special industrial vehicles.\n\nIn addition, it categorizesLegacy ManufacturersandChinese EV Companies. This enables investors to evaluate investment opportunities by considering unique opportunities within each market segment.\nThere is an enormous amount of investment optimism for EVs, and retail investors have been aggressively buying into EV stocks with seemingly no regard for valuation. Then there is the additional challenge of valuing companies with no revenue, especially those coming public through SPACs. So, valuation is an important investment consideration.\nSo let's start by looking at an overview of comparative EV valuations.\nEV Investment Valuation Overview\nThe following chart summarizes valuations for 23 EV companies, including several legacy companies. For SPACs, market cap estimates are computed using the pro forma number of shares at closing, otherwise using the valuation of the SPAC prior to closing drastically underestimates the valuation, which may be misleading to novice investors. Price/Sales ratios (market cap divided by revenue) are used to compare valuations. As a benchmark, current P/S ratios vary. For example, auto and truck companies have a ratio of 2.7X. Software companies have the highest ratios of over 10X.\nIn the chart, companies that currently have revenue show current P/S ratios. Where projections are available, projected P/S ratios are computed. A note of caution, however. Many of the EV companies came public through SPACs and published their projections (which public companies cannot do), and many of these are likely to prove unrealistic.\nAll of the longer-term revenue projections come from the company (C) forecasts with a SPAC. Some of these may turn out to be accurate, not many are most likely unrealistic. Some, like Lucid, Faraday, and Arrival forecast hitting more than $10 billion in revenue in a few years, when it took Tesla more than 10. Things are different now and they might achieve these, but they could also find that it will take longer to complete development, ramp up production, and create enough customer demand. Many companies may also find that there will be significant capital requirements to achieve this type of growth, and shareholders will be diluted.\n\nTesla, the \"gold standard\" in EVs, has a market cap of approximately $650 billion, which many people believe is overvalued. Its market cap is approximately 20X 2020 revenue and 10X estimated 2022 revenue.\nTesla (TSLA)\nIn the U.S., and to a lesser extent in China, Tesla is the dominant EV provider. It has approximately 60% of the U.S. EV market and about 20% of the market in China. I own a Tesla and love it, but an investment in Tesla stock requires getting comfortable with its valuation. Tesla has a market cap of approximately $650 billion, although declining lately, which some consider still overvalued while others see upside potential.\nThe investment opportunity with Tesla is based on the expectation that it will continue to dominate the EV market, or at least maintain significant market share, despite much greater competition from the expected introduction of hundreds of new EV models in the next few years.\nThere is a great deal already published about Tesla, so I'll move on.\nLegacy Automakers\nSome people think that the legacy automakers will simply fade away. Historically, that was the case in some other industries, but it is not going to happen to most automakers. They are not standing still waiting to become obsolete. Most have aggressive strategies to replace ICE vehicles with EVs. GM plans to invest $27 billion and build and launch as many as 30 new EV models by 2025. Ford plans to invest $29 billion in EVs by 2025 and launch as many as 16 EVs in the next two years. Volkswagen(OTCPK:VWAGY)has also committed billions to develop new EVs.\nThe competitive advantage that legacy automakers have in selling their new EVs is their dealer network. Will new EV customers prefer to continue going to their regular auto dealer to buy their new EV?\nAlmost all legacy automakers worldwide are developing and launching EVs including Volkswagen, Peugeot, Renault/Nissan/Mitsubishi, Hyundai/Kia. Let's look a little more closely at GM and Ford as the leaders in the U.S.\nGeneral Motors (GM)\nGM has committed to introducing 20 new electric vehicles by 2023, including EVs across Chevrolet, Cadillac, GMC, and Buick. It recently announced that it has already sold out the first-year production of its Hummer electric pickup. By mid-decade, it expects to sell a million EVs per year in its two largest markets: North America and China. As a reference point, Tesla reported deliveries of 367,500 vehicles globally in 2019.\nGM has a solid platform strategy for its EVs. It plans on building its EVs using five interchangeable drive units and three different motors from its Ultium Drive System platform. Ultium energy options range from 50 to 200 kWh, which could enable an estimated range of up to 400 miles. Most of its EVs will have 400-volt battery packs and up to 200 kW fast-charging capability while the truck platform will have 800-volt battery packs and 350 kW fast-charging capabilities.\nThe key building blocks of the Ultium battery system are large-scale, high-energy cells. Engineered in partnership with LG Energy Solutions, they use both advanced chemistry and a smart cell design that's optimized for a broad portfolio of EVs. GM engineers and scientists are actively researching and testing new elements in battery chemistry to lower costs and improve charge times. Ultium can contain either vertically- or horizontally-stacked cells to integrate into vehicle design: vertically for trucks, SUVs, and crossovers, or horizontally for cars and performance vehicles. As new chemistry is developed and becomes available, the battery management system could digitally update the modules.\nGM also has other EV opportunities with its BrightDrop commercial EV service and its Cruise subsidiary. BrightDrop will not just sell delivery EVs, it will provide an entire service platform for commercial delivery customers. Its set of electric delivery vehicles starts with the EV600 and includes the BrightDrop EP1, a pod-like electric pallet. SeeGeneral Motors' Aggressive EV/AV Strategies May Payoff Big.\nWith its highest stock price of $61.65, GM's current market cap is approximately $89 billion, increasing primarily because of its progress with EVs. This approximately 3X valuation in 2018, but still only 13% of Tesla.\nFord (F)\nFord is also investing heavily in EVs. It just introduced the Mustang Mach-E, a battery-powered crossover with sports car styling, and plans to introduce an all-electric version of its best-selling F-150 pickup later this year. Also, planned is an electric edition of the full-size Transit van, which has been popular in the commercial delivery market. Ford has confirmed plans to build a luxury Lincoln crossover on a battery-powered platform provided by Rivian. The automaker also plans to introduce two new midsize electric crossovers, one each for the Ford and Lincoln brands by 2023.\nMustang Mach-E. Source: Ford\nFord's market cap is approximately $51 billion, twice its previous market cap, and also increasing.\nConsumer Retail EV Companies\nThe consumer retail market has some unique characteristics for new EV companies. Sales are made individually, not in fleets. This diversifies the risk upon launch because only a sufficient number of customers need to be attracted to the new EV. A wave of popularity can provide terrific momentum.\nHowever, the lack of a dealer network can be an impediment. Selling EVs directly to consumers instead of through dealers is prohibited in most states. By law, auto manufacturers can't compete with franchised dealers. These are laws that go back many decades to protect dealers. This can be a major impediment for new companies without established independent dealer franchises. So, new AV companies. like Tesla, need to sell their vehicles online. Tesla has successfully done this, but it took a lot of work and time. Lack of a dealer network also creates impediments in service.\nIn addition, over the next 4-5 years, autonomous capabilities will be increasingly important to luxury vehicles. This may prove to be a challenge to start-up EV companies because they can't afford to develop this technology.\nLet's look closer at the alternative consumer retail EV investments.\nLucid Motors (CCIV)\nLucid was founded in 2007 under the name Atieva and originally focused on building electric vehicle batteries and powertrains for other vehicle manufacturers. The company rebranded itself as Lucid Motors in October 2016 and shifted its strategy to develop an all-electric, high-performance, luxury vehicle. Shortly after that, it encountered financial difficulties and struggled to get short-term funding. In 2018 it raised more than $1 billion in investment, primarily from Saudi Arabia's Sovereign Fund, and gave up a majority of the company.\nLucid Motors reached an agreement to become a publicly-traded company through a merger with the SPAC Churchill Capital IV Corp., in one of the largest deals SPAC EV deals. The combined company, in which Saudi Arabia's Sovereign Fund will continue to be the largest shareholder, had a transaction equity value of $11.75 billion (for $10/share). At the same time, it closed a PIPE investment priced at $15 a share, giving it an implied pro forma equity value of $24 billion. Rumors about this deal circulated before the transaction was formally announced, making it one of the most anticipated SPAC deals. The hype and speculation drove up the stock price of Churchill Capital IV Corp. from its opening price of $10 a share to almost $60. I believe that some of this may have been driven by novice SPAC investors who didn't realize that the valuation of CCIV didn't include the eventual valuation of Lucid. The share price dropped more than 30% after the details of the deal were announced. It's also likely that Lucid renegotiated the terms of the merger based on the price jump.\nThe company's first product is the Lucid Air, a well-equipped luxury electric vehicle that features 406 miles of projected range and 480 horsepower with a starting price of $77,400, or $69,900 after the U.S. Federal Tax Credit of $7,500. This new Lucid Air model is positioned as a high-performance, ultra-efficient luxury EV sedan in a line of future vehicles that are expected to include Lucid Air Touring, Grand Touring, and Dream Edition versions.\nThe company plans to begin production and deliveries of the Lucid Air in North America in the second half of 2021. Previously the company aimed to begin deliveries earlier in 2021. It intends to sell the car in Europe in 2022, followed by China in 2023. Lucid vehicles will be produced at its new factory in Casa Grande, Arizona. The company plans to expand the factory in phases in the coming years to have the capacity to produce 365,000 units per year at scale. The initial phase of the $700 million factory construction was completed late last year and will have the capacity to produce 30,000 vehicles a year.\nLucid also apparently has a commitment to build an assembly plant in Saudi Arabia, which was rumored to be a condition of the $1 billion investment from the Saudi public fund. The Saudi Sovereign Wealth Fund also provided $600 million in bridge financing and invested in the SPAC deal as well. So, while this assembly plant may be expensive and may not be critical, it will most likely need to happen.\nLucid has ambitious plans to achieve $14 billion in revenue in 2025, and its current stock price at $29.17, which gives it a market cap of more than $46 billion, may already reflect those ambitions. Its market cap is roughly the same as Ford.\nFisker (FSR)\nFisker, which had its origins with Fisker Automotive, is an interesting story that ended in bankruptcy. Henrik Fisker originally co-founded Fisker Automotive in 2007. He was responsible for designing many premium cars such as the Aston Martin. Subsequently, Fisker Automotive had to deal with a Tesla lawsuit against Fisker Automotive alleging it stole Tesla's technology, a controversial $528.7 million conditional loan from the Department of Energy, a recall of its battery produced by A123, and the loss of several hundred vehicles in hurricane Sandy. Henrik Fisker resigned in March 2013 because of disagreements over business strategy and in November 2013, Fisker filed its Chapter 11 bankruptcy case.\nHowever, Henrik Fisker retained the Fisker brand and trademarks, and in 2016 he started another electric vehicle company named Fisker Inc. with the Fisker brand and trademarks. In 2019, Fisker shifted from developing a sports car with a solid-state battery to the Ocean SUV featuring a lithium-ion battery, which it later abandoned for a solid-state battery.\nFisker is positioning itself in a unique segment for those who want the most environmentally friendly EV. While this may be an early growth segment for EVs, it's difficult to estimate its eventual competitive advantage and the size of this environmentally-friendly market segment.\nThe Ocean is a crossover made of recycled metal and plastic with an expected base price of $37,499, and an expected lease of less than $400 a month. Fisker's plan is essentially a lease-only business model that lets customers keep a vehicle for years or return it at any time. It aims to source motors, batteries, and other components from technical partnerships with automakers and will outsource production from existing auto plants. Fisker is currently taking reservations at $250 for the Ocean. It also announced an agreement with Foxconn to jointly develop a vehicle pioneering a new market segment to be sold globally under the Fisker brand commencing in Q4 2023. at the end of 2022. Production will start at Magna Steyr's manufacturing facilities in Europe. At the end of February 2021, it had 12,467 cancellable reservations.\nFisker Ocean. Source: Fisker\nFisker went public using a SPAC (Spartan Energy). The original combination with SPAQ in October 2020 was valued at $2.9 billion with a cash investment of approximately $1 billion. The stock currently trades at approximately $21 per share, after reaching a high of $28.50, from the original price of $10, which is a market cap of $4.6 billion. Fisker projects $3.3 billion in revenue in 2023. It had almost $1 billion in cash at the end of 2020 and expected to use almost half of this in 2021: $250 million on operating expenses and $250 million in capital investments. If the Ocean is delayed into 2023, Fisker risks missing its revenue objective and will potentially need additional cash to complete development and launch.\nFaraday Future (PSAC)\nFaraday Future was originally established in May 2014 by Chinese businessman Jia Yueting. It is headquartered in Los Angeles and has offices in Silicon Valley, Beijing, Shanghai, and Chengdu. Faraday Future also had a turbulent history. In 2016, it struggled financially, and in 2017 some key executives departed over a dispute about financial issues. They later founded Canoo.\nIn December 2018 the company announced layoffs due to a cash crunch and financial troubles. The company's founder Jia Yueting filed for personal bankruptcy in the United States' federal court in Delaware on October 14, 2019. Following Jia's personal bankruptcy, he decided to step down from his role as CEO of Faraday Future in order to assume a new position as the Chief Product and User Officer. He was replaced as CEO by Carsten Breitfeld, the former CEO at rival electric vehicle startup Byton.\nSomehow, Faraday was able to raise $2.3 billion in private funding over 5 rounds from a variety of investors. In early 2018, it received $1.5 billion in funding from an undisclosed investor from Hong Kong.\nFaraday's flagship product offering will be the FF 91, featuring 1,050 HP, 0-60 mph in less than 2.4 seconds, zero gravity seats with the largest 60-degree reclining angles, and a user experience designed to create a mobile, connected, and luxurious living space. The FF 91 is targeted to launch in 2022.\nFF 91. Source: Faraday Future\nIts strategic partners include one of China's top three OEMs and a critical Chinese city, which the company believes will help establish its presence in the Chinese vehicle market.\nFaraday Future plans several cars based on its Variable Platform Architecture. FF 91 is the first production vehicle and flagship model. Pricing will range between $120,000 and upwards of $200,000, which places it against formidable opponents. Faraday Future is already looking forward to expanding its range with a pair of smaller models named FF 81 and FF 71. The FF 81 is planned to be priced at $75,000 to 95,000 with a 2023 release. The FF 71 is planned to be priced at $45,000 to $65,000 with a planned release of 2024.\nThe Primary Manufacturing Facility for FF 91 is in Hanford, CA with contract manufacturing for future models in Gunsan, South Korea.\nFaraday Future is planning high-Level automation with a Level-3 capable system using a redundant safety architecture based on NVIDIA Xavier System-on-a-chip. It will be capable of highway auto-drive and hardware ready for advanced auto-drive. It is targeting full autonomous valet parking & summon in any parking lot or structure. Eventually, it expects full auto-drive, including full 360˚ sensor coverage for advanced auto-drive & auto-park features.\nIn January 2021, Faraday Future announced that the company would go public through a reverse merger with the special purpose acquisition company Property Solutions Acquisition Corp. (PSAC). The combined company will be valued at $3.4 billion. Faraday Future is expected to set up contract manufacturing operations in China through their partnership with Geely. Taiwanese manufacturer Foxconn is also expected to serve as an additional strategic partner.\nFaraday Future projects $10.5 billion in revenue in 2024 and $21.5 billion in 2025. Revenue is expected to start in 2022 with the delivery of 2,400 vehicles for $504 million. Most likely these projections could prove to be optimistic. At a current stock price of approximately $12.80, it has a market cap of about $4.3 billion.\nLordstown Motors (RIDE)\nLordstown Motors based in Lordstown, Ohio, was originally founded in 2018 by Steve Burns, the former CEO of Workhorse Group. The company licensed technology from Workhorse in return for royalties and a 10% ownership. Lordstown is named after the famous GM Lordstown manufacturing plant, which it acquired in November 2019 in an unusual transaction. GM announced that it was closing the plant and was under a great deal of pressure for that decision. So, GM \"sold\" the plant to a company that was renamed Lordstown for an estimated $20 million that it loaned to the acquiring company. Subsequently, the sale was redefined to be part of a $75 million investment by GM, of which $50 million was an in-kind exchange for the plant.\nLordstown went public through the SPAC DiamondPeak Holdings Corp. in 2020. It currently has more than 400 employees.\nIts first product is the Lordstown Endurance, a full-sized EV pickup truck. Lordstown is positioning Endurance for the pickup fleet market segment. The expected price is $52,000+, and it claimed to have more than 100,000 pre-orders by January 2021. However, a recent research article published by a short seller claimed \"Our research has revealed that Lordstown's order book consists of fake or entirely non-binding orders, from customers that generally do not even have fleets of vehicles.\" Lordstown is disputing that article.\nIt believes the fleet pickup market segment is underserved with no current EV-focused competition. It estimates that the full-sized pick-up truck fleet market is 1.2 million vehicles per year in the U.S., but it's more fragmented than other truck fleets. Pickup \"fleets\" tend to be much smaller and local, so there may not be much of a market distinction for a small company buying several EV pickups from a traditional auto dealer. About half of the total U.S. pickup market is classified as fleet sales, meaning more than one.\nEven though Lordstown is targeting the commercial fleet market, it is a similar product to the Ford EV F-150. So I classify it in the consumer EV category. It is a class 2 vehicle. Lordstown also may enter the SUV market in the longer-term.\nThe Endurance will compete against future models from Rivian and Tesla, as well as Ford and GM in ICE pick-ups and their upcoming EV pick-ups. Ford plans on selling its EV F-150 in mid-2022. Initial production of the Endurance is expected in the second half of 2021, so it may have a short market advantage. Nevertheless, it forecasts selling 65,000 vehicles in 2023 and 107,000 in 2024. These estimates could be a large percentage of the EV pick-up market in those years.\nAt the SPAC merger, the implied valuation for Lordstown was $1.6 billion, including a $500 million PIPE and the $75 million by GM. Lordstown's financial projections appear to be aggressive. It projects to start shipping the Endurance in late 2021 with projected revenue in 2022 of $1.7 billion, increasing to $5.8 billion in 2024. Its stock price at approximately $13.60 values the company at a market cap of approximately $2.2 billion. The value of the company depends on the likelihood of achieving its projections.\nA fleet sales strategy makes sense for Lordstown since it would be too expensive to build a retail sales and service capability. However, it's not clear that this will become a distinct competitive advantage. Some small fleets may still prefer to buy their EV pickups from established local dealers with service capabilities.\nCanoo (GOEV)\nCanoo started as Evelozcity in 2017 and rebranded as Canoo in the spring of 2019. Canoo is a Los Angeles-based company that develops electric vehicles. It has over 350 employees. Canoo has designed a modular electric platform purpose-built to deliver maximum vehicle interior space, which is adaptable to support a wide range of vehicle applications for consumers and businesses. Canoo expects to launch its first consumer model in 2022, simply named the Canoo that will be available by subscription, followed shortly after by a multi-purpose delivery vehicle and a sports vehicle, each built off of the same underlying platform. Canoo went public using a SPAC (Hennessy Capital Acquisition) and now trades as GOEV.\nCanoo's all-electric skateboard-like platform is designed to support both consumer retail and commercial vehicle configurations. The EV leverages Canoo's flat skateboard architecture for a high level of usable interior space. Its commercial vehicle program, expected in 2023, addresses a projected $50B+ last-mile delivery market with an EV platform that maximizes cargo volume.\nHyundai Motor Group said it would jointly develop an electric vehicle platform with the company.\nCanoo's platform strategy is interesting. It could be used as an EV platform for custom fleets of delivery vehicles. It has no AV development, but it claims to be \"AV Ready\" which could be useful for AV companies wanting to build custom AV delivery fleets.\nIts all-electric multi-purpose delivery vehicle is expected to be priced starting at approximately $33,000. It is based on Canoo's proprietary electric platform and will be offered in two initial size variants, with others to follow. Limited availability will begin in 2022, with scaled production and launch planned for 2023. Customers can pre-order the multi-purpose delivery vehicle for a refundable deposit of $100 per vehicle\nIt plans to offer two multi-purpose delivery vehicles: the MPDV1 and the larger MPDV2. The first has a 200-foot cargo volume and a range of 130-200 miles. It offers more capacity than today's ICE delivery vehicles at an affordable price with urban mobility enabled by a space-efficient footprint. The vehicle is also designed to fit within many height-restricted areas like parking garages.\nThe MPDV2 has a cargo volume of 450 feet and a range of 90-190 miles. Its roof and step-in height enable individuals to easily walk-in the vehicle and accommodate a standing position while inside.\nThe original SPAC transaction provided approximately $600 million, with a pro forma equity value of approximately $2.4 billion. Like other SPAC mergers, its stock price has fluctuated. It currently trades at about $15.90 per share for a market cap of approximately $3.7 billion. Canoo projects $2.0 billion in revenue in 2025 from about $500 million in engineering services, $1.2 billion from its consumer vehicle subscriptions, and the remainder from its commercial program. Canoo expects revenue of more than $300 million in 2022 after the launch of its lifestyle consumer vehicle.\nSince its first products are aimed at consumers, as is most of its forecasted 2025 revenue, I categorize it primarily as a consumer EV company. However, I think the design of that Canoo vehicle may not attract enough customers. More importantly, its subscription service way of selling its EV to consumers is risky. I think it has more potential in the commercial market, however, a dual strategy (consumer and commercial) is challenging. I like its skateboard platform design and that could prove to be a competitive advantage.\nRivian\nAlthough not yet public, I include Rivian because it has plans for an IPO as soon as Sept 2021, although it could slip into 2022. There are rumors that the company is targeting a market valuation of approximately $50B. Rivian has already raised more than $8 billion to date from Amazon, Ford, T. Rowe Price, and others.\nRivian has developed and vertically integrated a connected electric platform that can be flexibly applied to a range of applications, including the company's adventure products, as well as B2B products such as the Amazon last-mile delivery vans. The company's initial products, the R1T and R1S, provide a combination of performance, off-road capability, and utility. These vehicles will be produced at Rivian's manufacturing plant in Normal, Ill., with customer deliveries expected to begin in summer 2021. The launch of the R1S three-row electric SUV will follow in August.\nAdditional lower-priced models are being planned. The expected R2 series would include at least two smaller electric vehicles to coincide with the smaller platform, then another platform for R3.\nCommercial Delivery EV Companies\nEV truck companies differ based on the type of truck they are developing. The technology and markets are very different, so I separate them into two categories. The first category includes commercial delivery vehicles.\nCompanies making EV delivery vehicles have some major advantages that could make them good investments. First, delivery vehicles typically travel less than 250 miles during a day, so they can be conveniently recharged overnight. Secondly, they are typically sold in large quantities to fleets. This means that building a retail sales infrastructure is not necessary. It only requires a small salesforce. In addition, maintenance can also be provided at the fleet's operational center, so not as many service centers are required.\nThe disadvantage in this market is that there are a relatively small number of customers that buy in large volumes, so if the EV manufacturer can't get enough large customers, they may not be able to stay in business. GM estimates the combined market opportunity for parcel and food delivery, as well as reverse logistics, in the U.S. will be more than $850 billion by 2025.\nThe commercial market is expected to be a major growth area for EVs. Other start-up automakers like Rivian as well as legacy automakers such as Ford, Daimler, and GM have announced plans to enter the segment. GM recently announced its BrightDrop ecosystem for commercial customers that includes an all-new electric delivery van, the EV600 available by the end of 2021, as well as an integrated autonomous pallet and related services.\nThis group of EV companies focuses primarily on commercial delivery. In general, these are in the light-duty trucks category, although it also includes some medium-duty trucks. This generally includes the following commercial truck classes:\n\nClass 1: This class of trucks has a GVWR of 0-6,000 pounds or 0-2,722 kilograms.\nClass 2: This class of trucks has a GVWR of 6,001-10,000 pounds or 2,722-4,536 kilograms.1\nClass 3: This class of trucks has a GVWR of 10,001-14,000 pounds or 4,536-6,350 kilograms.\n\nIt can also include somewhat larger medium-duty EV delivery trucks:\n\nClass 4: This class of trucks has a GVWR of 14,001-16,000 pounds or 6,351-7,257 kilograms.\nClass 5: This class of trucks has a GVWR of 16,001-19,500 pounds or 7,258-8,845 kilograms.\n\nEV delivery trucks also have an advantage over ICE vehicles because they can have a greater delivery storage space. Smaller buses and transit vehicles are also included in this category.\nLast-mile package delivery is not an immediate-term autonomous vehicle opportunity because it requires a delivery person to be on the truck anyway.\nWorkhorse Group (WKHS)\nWorkhorse has been a public company for ten years. Originally AMP Electric Vehicles, it was established in 2007 as a developmental-stage vehicle electrification company, focusing on conversions. AMP Electric Vehicles went public in 2010 trading on the OTC market under the AMPD symbol. When the economic benefits of conversion became less certain, it pivoted away from passenger vehicles and began to focus on electrifying commercial vehicles. AMP acquired the Workhorse brand and the Workhorse custom chassis assembly plant in Union City. In March of 2013, AMP formally changed its name to Workhorse Group Incorporated.\nThe Company designs and builds a last-mile delivery electric vehicle. The C-Series EVs cover the larger size of commercial delivery vehicles in Classes 3-5. As part of its solutions, it also develops cloud-based, real-time telematics performance monitoring systems. It sells its vehicles to fleet customers directly and through its primary distributor, Ryder Systems. It is currently focused on bringing the C-Series electric delivery truck to market and fulfilling the existing backlog of orders.\nThe C-Series looks like a viable EV replacement for the 350,000 last-mile delivery vehicles sold in the U.S. annually. It recently announced an increased driving range from 100 miles to 160, which should open more market opportunities. It has a viable short-term go-to-market strategy selling fleets to delivery companies. It currently has test vehicles with UPS, DHL, FedEx, Amazon, and Walmart.\nWorkhorse recently lost out on the United States Postal Services Next Generation Delivery Vehicle project, however, it is in the process of challenging this decision. Additionally, its investment in Lordstown also provides an indirect investment opportunity. On November 7, 2019, the Company entered a transaction with Lordstown Motors to grant LMC a perpetual and worldwide license to certain intellectual property relating to its W-15 electric pickup truck platform and related technology in exchange for royalties, equity interest (approximately 10%) in LMC, and other considerations. This was a $320 million asset for Workhorse at the end of 2020.\nWorkhorse received a significant increase in orders in Q4/2020 but built just seven trucks in the fourth quarter due to production systems and supply chain issues. Workhorse plans to continue to take it slow, striving to build three of its composite-body battery-electric trucks a day in March with a plan to reach 10 trucks a day by the end of June. This makes its original 2021 goal of producing 1,800 trucks unlikely. It partnered with Hitachi and Hitachi Capital America (\"HCA\") to improve the Company's manufacturing, operational, and supply chain capabilities as well as to develop a national dealer network to support Workhorse's sales with vehicle financing options for both dealers and customers.\nWorkhorse has a market cap of approximately $1.9 billion. While Workhorse had ongoing revenue, unlike many other new EV companies, its revenue is still insignificant. It had a revenue of $1.4 million in 2020 and $377,000 in 2019. It has a backlog of over 8,000 vehicles but doesn't expect to be able to build many of those in 2021. It raised $270 million in capital over several financings, providing the Company with additional capital to build its backlog. It had cash of $215 million as of March 1, 2021. Because Workhorse is a traditional public company, it hasn't made long-term financial projections like SPAC-based companies.\nElectric Last Mile (FIII)\nElectric Last Mile, based in Troy Michigan, was founded by Jason Luo, former CEO of Ford China before it was acquired by China's Ningbo Joyson Electronic for $920 million in 2016, including James Taylor, former CEO of GM's Hummer brand and former CEO of electric car maker Karma Automotive. Taylor serves as the company's top executive with Luo as the company's chairman.\nThe company plans to launch a small electric delivery van (class 1-2), called the UD-1, in the third quarter of 2021, and then introduce an Urban Utility vehicle (Class 2-3) in 2022. These are expected to compete with Workhorse, Rivian, Canoo, as well as the Ford eTransit and the GMC BV1, none of which is expected to be a Class 1 vehicle.\nThe company says it has 30,000 preorders for its van, representing more than $1 billion in sales. Electric Last Miles vehicles will be based on Sokon's commercial van made in China through a joint venture with Dongfeng Automobile Co Ltd. in order to accelerate development time.\nElectric Last Mile (ELM) is expected to manufacture the vans in a former General Motors Co. Hummer plant in Mishawaka, Ind., that the company is acquiring from China's Chongqing Sokon Industry Group Stock Co. Ltd. The plant has the capacity to produce 100,000 vehicles annually with plans to build approximately 4,000 UD-1 vans by the end of 2021. The UD-1 has a starting price of $32,500 and a range of 150 miles. The battery for the vehicle is expected to be supplied by the Chinese battery company CATL.\nELM believes that it has a competitive advantage because its first vehicle, the ELM Urban Delivery, is scheduled to be available in 2021. It is based on a proven, existing platform developed and sold by Sokon Group in the Asian market, where there are 30,000 of these electric delivery vehicles driving 1.5 million miles every day. At the close of the business combination, ELM will be an independent, U.S. company producing electric vehicles in the U.S. with Sokon Group providing access to its know-how, parts supply, and field and service data.\nELM expects that the Urban Delivery vehicle will be the first electric delivery vehicle coming to market in the class 1 category (GVW of 6,000 lbs or less) in the U.S. It will also have 35% more carrying volume compared to similar ICE delivery vehicles, a critical part of the value proposition. It also anticipates that its price and greater carrying volume will allow it to take market share from the class 2 category of vehicles as well.\nIts crossover product portfolio strategy targets commercial delivery vehicles spanning from class 1 to class 3, which represents over 80% of the last mile market.\nELM anticipates $122 million in revenue in 2021, rapidly increasing to $3 billion in 2025. The price of FIII stock increased immediately following its announcement with Electric Last Mile, rising more than 40% to $14.50, but now it has dropped closer to the original deal price to $10.25 for a market cap of approximately $1.5 billion.\nGreenPower Motor Company (GP)\nGreenPower Motor Company Inc. is a Canadian battery-electric bus manufacturer with multiple models of high- and low-floor vehicles, including transit buses, school buses, and shuttles. GreenPower offers commercial vehicles for delivery, public transit, schools, vanpooling, micro-transit, shuttles, and is developing a capability of autonomous operation. It went public on August 28, 2020.\nIn 2014 GreenPower launched its first purpose-built, battery-electric bus, the EV350, 40-foot transit bus. GreenPower received its first order in 2017 for ten EV350s from the City of Porterville, California.\nGreenPower's electric buses are purpose-built and designed to be all-electric, allowing it to put the battery and propulsion system in optimized locations that provide weight and structural advantages. Its primary EV is the EV Star with more than 120 vehicles delivered. It comes in several variations:\n\nEV Star - Up to 19 passengers\nEV Star Plus - Up to 24 passengers\nEV Star ADA - Passenger and curbside lift for ADA\nEV Star Cargo - 5,000 pounds of load\nEV Star Cargo Plus - 570 cubic feet of cargo space.\n\nIts EV school bus seats up to 90 students and has a range of up to 150 miles.\nGreenPower had revenue of $13.5 million in 2020 It has about $21 million in cash. It's an interesting alternative since it is already shipping EVs, has revenue, and also has a lower market cap of less than $1 billion. Since it did a traditional IPO, it hasn't published longer-term financial forecasts.\nArrival (CIIC)\nArrival was founded in 2015 in London to make a variety of commercial electric vehicles. It has approximately 1,200 employees across 11 cities in 8 countries. In November 2020, Arrival and the SPAC CIIG entered into a business combination agreement with an implied valuation of $5.39 billion.\nArrival plans on releasing four commercial EVs over the next few years.\n\nQ4/2021: An electric bus for 8-125 passengers and a range of 240-400km\nQ3/2022: An electric delivery van with a payload of 975-2,000kg and a range of 150-340km\n2022: A larger electric van with a payload of 4,000 kg and a range of 190-400km\n2023: a small vehicle platform with a range of 100-300km.\n\nThis mix provides a nice diversified portfolio of EVs. Arrival claims to have received orders from UPS for 10,000 vans. It plans a unique flexible manufacturing approach using micro-factories with each projected to manufacture 10,000 vans per year. All of its vehicles use a modular skateboard electric platform.\nArrival ambitiously projects $14.1 billion in revenue in 2024. Half of that revenue is expected from delivery vans, 22% from buses, and the rest from the large van and its small vehicle platform. With CIIC's stock price at $24.80 per share, Arrival's current market cap is relatively high at approximately $15.0 billion. Justifying its market cap depends on its ability to release, sell, and produce its four commercial EVs.\nProterra (ACTC)\nProterra is a commercial electric vehicle company with over a decade of production experience. The Company has designed an end-to-end, flexible technology platform that claims to deliver higher performance and a low total cost of ownership to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and end customers.\nProterra, Inc., was originally founded in Golden, Colorado, by Dale Hill in 2004. Later the company wanted to take the lead in creating zero-emission, U.S.-based transit buses. In 2010 it moved its manufacturing plant from Golden, Colorado to Greenville, South Carolina. In 2015, Proterra was awarded a $3 million grant from the California Energy Commission to fund the design, development, and construction of the company's battery-electric transit bus manufacturing line in the City of Industry, California. It moved its headquarters from Greenville, South Carolina, to Burlingame, California, in October 2015. Proterra raised more than $600 million in funding.\nIt is going public through the SPAC ArcLight (ACTC) with a pro forma valuation of $1.6 billion. Upon completion of the transaction, Proterra expects to have up to $825 million in cash to fund growth initiatives, including R&D and the expansion of its next-generation battery program.\nProterra has three complementary businesses:\n\nProterra Powered: Delivering battery systems and electrification solutions to commercial vehicle manufacturers\nProterra Transit:Providing an electric transit bus OEMs\nProterra Energy:Offering turnkey charging and energy management solutions.\n\nThe company's battery systems have been proven in more than 16 million service miles driven by its fleet of transit vehicles and validated through partnerships with commercial vehicle OEMs. Proterra has produced and delivered more than 300 megawatt-hours of battery systems, more than 550 heavy-duty electric transit buses, and installed 54 megawatts of charging systems.\nProterra expected $193 million of revenue in 2020, with an estimated $750 million in existing orders and backlog. It projects $2.5 billion in revenue in 2025, with about 1/3 coming from its Transit business, and 2/3 From Powered & Energy. At ACTC's current stock price of $17.85, Proterra has a market cap of about $4.3 billion.\nRivian\nRivian (see earlier description in consumer retail) will also compete in the commercial delivery market. It has been working with Amazon (a major investor) to build large electric delivery vans for Prime. Developed specifically for Amazon, a small fleet of Prime vans is on the road now, testing deliveries to customers and gathering feedback. In late fall, it could grow to a large fleet as Rivian ramps up the volume.\nThe EV range of 150 miles is tailored to Amazon's use cycle to optimize the size, weight, and cost of the commercial vehicle. Rivian has three sizes of batteries, but Amazon is starting with just one of them.\nCanoo (GOEV)\nSee the previous summary under consumer retail EV.\nMedium and Long-Haul Trucking EV Companies\nCompanies developing medium- and long-haul EV trucks face a more difficult challenge with battery range. These trucks haul much more weight than commercial delivery vehicles and because they are designed for long distances, they can't stop every 200-300 miles for recharging.\nFor this reason, many of these companies are using unique hybrid technologies for their trucks. The EV trucks in this category are primarily heavy-duty but also include some medium-duty trucks and specialty vehicles. A couple of the companies focus on retrofitting trucks to be electric.\nMedium-Duty Trucks\nThe medium-duty trucks category includes commercial truck classes 4, 5, and 6:\n\nClass 4: This class of trucks has a GVWR of 14,001-16,000 pounds or 6,351-7,257 kilograms.\nClass 5: This class of trucks has a GVWR of 16,001-19,500 pounds or 7,258-8,845 kilograms.\nClass 6: This class of trucks has a GVWR of 19,501-26,000 pounds or 8,846-11,793 kilograms.1\n\nHeavy-Duty Trucks\nThe heavy-duty trucks category includes commercial truck classes 7 and 8:\n\nClass 7: This class of trucks has a GVWR of 26,001 to 33,000 pounds or 11,794-14,969 kilograms.\nClass 8: This class of trucks has a GVWR of greater than 33,001 pounds or 14,969 kilograms and includes all tractor-trailers.\n\nThe Tesla Semi is a battery vehicle planned for a range of 300 or 500 miles and a speed of 60 MPH with 80,000 lbs of cargo. Tesla plans to start shipping the Semi later this year when it expects to have sufficient cell volume to meet its needs with the production of its 4680 battery pack.\nNikola(NASDAQ:NKLA)\nNikola has been a very controversial company. Founded in 2015, it originally had two different strategies. Its primary strategy is to lease fuel-cell electric vehicle (FCEV) Class-8 heavy trucks and provide the refueling infrastructure to corporate customers. Its second strategy was to develop the Badger EV truck using GM technology.\nNikola originally merged with a SPAC to go public, at an enterprise value of approximately $3.3 billion. On June 6th, 2020, its market cap jumped to more than $30 billion, then later it dropped because of problems with its originally planned deal with GM.\nNikola originally expected a deal with General Motors that included the production of the Nikola Badger EV pickup truck. The proposed arrangement was that GM would take a $2 billion equity stake in Nikola and in return would engineer and produce the Badger. In November 2020, GM and Nikola scrapped the original arrangement. Now it appears that GM will supply Nikola with only its Hydrotec hydrogen fuel-cell technology to integrate into the EV manufacturer's commercial class 7 and class 8 zero-emission semi-trucks. So, the Badger is probably dead.\nNikola now sees semi-trucks as the company's \"core business\" and fuel cells as an increasingly important segment of the semi-truck market thanks to their efficiency in weight and consumption. It expects to begin testing by the end of 2021.\nIt has received pre-orders from Anheuser-Busch and a few other companies, but it doesn't expect deliveries until 2023. Hydrogen fueling stations are key to its strategy, both providing a source of revenue and necessary fueling infrastructure for the trucks to operate, but they also cost a lot. In its March 2020 investor deck, Nikola said a single station capable of fueling 210 trucks a day would cost $16.6 million. Its initial planned network of 700 stations would cost roughly $11.6 billion.\nNikola was also accused of misrepresentation, and its executive chairman and founder stepped down.\nAt the time of the SPAC merger, it projected an optimistic forecast of more than $3 billion in revenue by 2024, with a net income of $145 million. Most of that revenue was expected to come from its Badger truck, which is no longer in the plans. Yet its market cap is still almost $6 billion.\nHyliion (HYLN)\nHyliion, founded in 2015 in Austin, went public in October 2020 through the SPAC Tortoise Acquisition Corp. (SHLL). In March 2019, automotive parts manufacturer Dana Inc. made an equity investment into Hyliion, and together they are manufacturing and marketing Class 8 EVs to Dana's customers, including Volvo, Navistar, and Peterbilt.\nHyliion's strategy is unique, and a very different strategy from Nikola. Essentially it generates electricity onboard the truck using compressed natural gas (CNG). This should be a benefit for longer-range trucking. Hyliion's Hypertruck concept involves an all-electric drivetrain utilizing Dana's electric motor, inverter, and axle technologies. The truck's batteries are fueled by onboard tanks of CNG. With some 700 CNG stations already operating nationwide, it believes that there no need to build out expensive superchargers or hydrogen infrastructure.\nKuwait-based logistics company, Agility, has already placed an order for 1,000 Hypertrucks with initial deliveries targeted in 2022. Combined with a fully electric drivetrain and a natural gas-powered onboard generator to recharge the battery, the Hypertruck ERX will provide more than 1,000 miles of range.\nHyliion will eventually compete with Nikola (FCEV) and the Tesla battery-based Semi, but it plans to have a longer range and lower operating costs. Its HyperTruck ERX is expected to be available in 2021. It also has a hybrid-electric truck.\nThe combination with SHLL had an estimated market cap of about $1.5 billion, with approximately $530 million going to the company, including a $325 million fully committed PIPE. At approximately $13.50 per share, its current market cap is approximately $2.2 billion, significantly down from its peak. Hyliion projects $2 billion in revenue in 2024, which it claims is only about 2% of the addressable market.\nXL Fleet (XL)\nXL Fleet is a 10-year old company that went public through the SPAC Pivotal. XL is different because it provides fleet electrification modifications for ICE trucks across a wide range of vehicle classes (class 2-5) and types. It has over 200 of the largest commercial and municipal fleets as customers, with more than 3,200 XL systems deployed and over 130 million miles driven by customers to date. XL's customer base includes FedEx, Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Verizon, the City of Boston, Seattle Fire Department, Yale University, and Harvard University.\nXL's business model is essentially retrofitting existing trucks to be hybrids and then later expanding into fully electric truck conversions. It claims to be creating a fully integrated platform for this. It remains to be seen if the retrofitting business will continue to grow or will it diminish when more trucks are designed and manufactured with EV capabilities.\nUnlike some other EV companies that have no revenue yet because they are still developing products, XL is more of a small company doing low-volume retrofits. It had $7.2 million in revenue in 2019, $21 million in 2020, and estimates $76 million in 2021, but it forecasts $1.3 billion in revenue in 2024 in its investor presentation. It plans to do this by expanding its product line from hybrid to plug-in hybrid to fully electric across a broader range of trucks. It claims to have a $220 million sales pipeline for the next 12 months.\nShort-seller, Muddy Waters, claimed after talking to former XL Fleet employees, that it believed the company significantly exaggerated its order backlog, that the return on investment for the company's products was likely negative, and that it would not be able to compete with big car makers on electrification. The company thoroughly refuted these claims.\nThe original enterprise valuation was approximately $1.4 billion at a $10 share price for the merger. Its price jumped by about 35% but has since gone back down to $12.40 for a market cap of about $1.8 billion. Although XL Fleet has revenue and other EV companies don't, this may not be an advantage. It appears to be a small company for many years that has gone public at a high valuation with grand plans. The risks are in its ability to make a jump from $76 million in 2021 to $1.3 billion in 2024, as well as the question about retrofitting being replaced by new EV trucks by then.\nXos (NGAC)\nXos Trucks specializes in the field of manufacturing fully electric commercial vehicles. It features a software platform that is designed to accommodate an extensive variety of medium-duty bodies, wheelbase, and range requirements up to 200 miles. It was founded in 2016 and headquartered in North Hollywood, California. It received $20 million of investment in 2020 and now is going public through a merger with the SPAC ExtGen Acquisition Corporation (NGAC) at an estimated proforma value of $1.965 billion.\nIts focus is on medium- and heavy-duty last mile and return-to-base segments (class 5/6, class 6/7, and class 7/8) commercial fleets and specialty vehicles. Some vehicles are currently in production and in regular on-road operations with key fleet customers, and it claimed 6,000 unit orders in backlog.\nIts MD-platform is for classes 5-6 for pickup and delivery. Its HD X-Platform is an adaptable chassis for highway, vocational, and severe work conditions. Its market is for customers with highly predictable routes that allow for batteries designed for a more limited range. A significantly larger frame and smaller battery pack allow for reduced density.\nXos has a bundled all-in-one offering that allows fleets to access all the tools and services they need to go electric with a single point of contact at a fixed monthly expense.\nXos had $3 million in revenue in 2020 and estimates $14 million in 2021. However, it forecasts $5.2 billion in revenue in 2025. At the current stock price of $10.30, its market cap is approximately $2 billion, about the same as its original SPAC transaction.\nLion Electric (NGA)\nLion Electric is a Canadian company founded by Marc Bédard in 2008. Its focus is to be a leader in designing, developing, and manufacturing purpose-built urban electric vehicles; vehicles that are specifically designed as delivery trucks, refuse trucks, bucket trucks, moving trucks, school buses, and shuttle buses. It has over 300 all-electric vehicles on the road today.\nIn November 2020, it announced that it was going public through the SPAC NGA. The transaction had an estimated pro forma enterprise value of $1.5 billion.\nIt plans on seven new truck models and one new school bus, for a total of 15 all-electric vehicles, representing a full line-up from class 5 to class 8 electric trucks and a full line-up of electric school buses. Its vehicles are produced at its existing manufacturing plant, which has the capacity for the production of up to 2,500 vehicles per year. It intends to open a new plant in the U.S. capable of delivering over 20,000 Lion trucks and buses per year by 2022.\nIts all-electric class 6 and class 8 commercial urban trucks combine power, comfort, and modern technology. Custom-built chassis and cabin designed specifically for an all-electric heavy-duty vehicle. The LionC is an all-electric Type C school bus manufactured in North America. The body and chassis were specifically designed to deliver optimal performance. The LionM is an all-electric midi/minibus that meets paratransit and public transportation requirements. Created and designed specifically for the paratransit market, the is spacious and offers unique features that provide enhanced security and accessibility to the end-users.\nLion Electric had $29 million in revenue in 2020 and expects $204 million in 2021. It forecasts revenue to jump to $3.6 billion a few years later in 2024. Its current market cap is approximately $3.6 billion based on its current stock price of $18.33.\nLightning eMotors (GIK)\nLightning eMotors, formerly Lightning Systems, was founded in 2008 and is headquartered in Loveland, Colorado. It provides fleet electrification for familiar commercial vehicle platforms by retrofitting them with its electric powertrains. Lightning eMotors produces electric fleet medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, including delivery trucks, shuttle buses, passenger vans, ambulances, bucket trucks, chassis-cab models, and city transit buses. It focuses on urban commercial zero-emission vehicles with a full range of class 3 through class 7 battery-electric and fuel-cell electric vehicles.\nLighting eMotors helps commercial fleets achieve their sustainability goals by offering zero-emission battery-electric vans, trucks, and buses based on familiar, proven vehicles from manufacturers such as Ford and GM. It works with customers, to help them identify their unique commercial electric vehicle, charging, and grant support needs.\nThe Lightning products include integrated all-electric powertrains for the Ford Transit 350HD passenger and cargo vans, Ford E-450 shuttle bus and cutaway models, Ford F-59 step/food van, Ford F-550 cargo trucks and buses, Chevrolet 6500XD Low Cab Forward model, and 30-foot, 35-foot, and 40-foot transit buses.\nLightning has 120 vehicles on the road, and 1,500 vehicles already on order from customers. In addition to making vehicles and powertrains, Lightning also provides a full suite of charging solutions for customers.\nThe deal with GIK has an enterprise value of $650 million, although there is also an Earnout of 20.0% of total pro forma shares outstanding to Lightning eMotors shareholders if the stock crosses certain price thresholds.\nAt the current price, of $11.73, GIK has a market cap of approximately $1 billion, a little more than the original transaction valuation. Similar to XL Fleet, Lightning has the risk that retrofitting may only be an interim business opportunity until more EV trucks are produced.\nPublic Chinese EV Companies\nChina will be the biggest EV market opportunity, and EV start-ups may do better there because there isn't as much entrenched competition from domestic auto companies. China is already the largest EV market in the world, with almost a million EVs sold in 2019. Its EV market represents almost half of the global EV sales volume and is much larger than the U.S. market.\nThe Chinese government has ambitions to become a global leader in new energy vehicles. Soon after the coronavirus outbreak subsided within the country, Chinese authorities announced new policies to support the auto and electric vehicle industries.\nThese Chinese companies are traded through American depository shares (ADS) that contain certain risks. There are financial reporting and transparency risks with these companies, and on top of that, the newer companies are being classified as \"emerging growth\" companies that are already exempt from certain transparency requirements set out in the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Like the previous EV stock, these stocks have also been very volatile.\nIn addition to legacy auto manufacturers like BYD, there are also three Chinese EV companies that are publicly traded through American depositary shares.\nBYD Co., Ltd. (OTCPK:BYDDY)\nBYD, which means build your dreams, is the automotive subsidiary of the Chinese multinational BYD Co Ltd. It was founded in January 2003, following BYD Company's acquisition of Tsinchuan Automobile Company. The company produces automobiles, buses, electric bicycles, forklifts, rechargeable batteries, and trucks. The current model range of automobiles includes electric vehicles, plug-in hybrids, and petrol-engined vehicles. Thirteen years ago, on the advice of his famously skeptical lieutenant, Charlie Munger, Warren Buffett made a $232 million investment in BYD, a relatively unknown Chinese car company.\nBy parlaying BYD's rechargeable battery technology into a fast-growing carmaking operation, it gained a foothold in the fledgling electric vehicle market, building longer-lasting batteries and cheaper vehicles than American and Japanese manufacturers were managing to do at the time. In BYD, Buffett and Munger believed they had found a company with a shot at one day becoming the largest player in a global automobile market that was inevitably going electric.\nBYD's start to 2021 was strong with 19,871 plug-in electric cars sold in January in China, including hybrid plug-ins. That was a big increase over 2020 but not as much as 2019.\nLI Auto (LI)\nLixiang, formerly known as Chehejia (\"Car and Home\"), was founded in 2015 and went public in the U.S. on July 30th, 2020. It is a Beijing-based electric-vehicle startup with vertically integrated manufacturing. It designs, researches, manufactures, sells, and offers services featuring a few models of electric vehicles.\nThe company's SUVs are hybrids of a sort. They use electric motors (one on the front axle and one on the rear), but those motors are powered by a combination of a 40.5kWh battery packanda 1.2-liter turbocharged engine paired to a 45-liter fuel tank and a 100kW electric generator, which generates power for the battery pack in real-time. The idea is that the car can be driven for about 100 miles on battery power alone, but it has a total range of nearly 500 miles when leveraging the combustion engine generator.\nThe Company's primary product is an SUV under its brand Li ONE. It also sells peripheral products and provides related services, such as charging stalls, vehicle internet connection services, and extended lifetime warranties. Li Auto is looking to sell a variety of SUVs built on its hybrid technology that range from around $21,000 to about $70,000. The company started shipping its first model in late 2019. It's a midsize SUV is well-appointed and has lots of touchscreens and technology. A full-size premium version is planned for release in 2022.\nDeliveries of Li ONEs were 14,464 vehicles in the fourth quarter of 2020, representing a 67.0% quarter-over-quarter increase and setting a new quarterly record. Deliveries for the full year 2020 reached 32,624 vehicles. Revenue in the fourth quarter was $635 million.\nLI auto went public on July 30th, 2020, raising $1.1 billion at an initial price of $15.50 per share but quickly reached almost $24. It is currently valued at approximately $37 billion at a price of approximately $25.72 per share.\nXPeng (XPEV)\nXiaopeng (XPeng) Motors is a Chinese electric vehicle and technology company that designs and manufactures smart cars. It was founded in 2015 and went public on August 27, 2020, using American depository shares, raising about $1 billion. To date, it has raised about $2.6 billion.\nXPeng aims its EVs at technology-savvy middle-class Chinese consumers, with prices ranging from $22,000 to $45,000 after government subsidies. In some ways, it is a Tesla knock-off at a much lower price. XPeng started production of the G3 in November 2018, and as of July 31, 2020, delivered 18,741. It started production of the P7 and began delivery in May 2020, and as of July 31, 2020, it had delivered 1,966 EVs. The P7 has a range of more than 400 miles. It plans to launch a third Smart EV, a sedan, in 2021. The G3 was among the top-three best-selling electric SUVs in China in 2019.\nXPeng is interesting because it has a platform strategy and is moving aggressively into autonomous driving. It uses a platform strategy to expand product offerings by launching one Smart EV model each year to broaden the addressable market. It builds new models on two highly flexible Smart EV platforms, called David and Edward, respectively. The David platform has been designed for vehicles with wheelbases ranging from 2,600 millimeters to 2,800 millimeters, and the Edward platform has been designed for vehicles with wheelbases ranging from 2,800 millimeters to 3,100 millimeters. It also adopted a platform approach for software systems.\nXPeng claims to be developing an autonomous driving capability for its EVs. The P7 is the first production vehicle to feature the NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Xavier system-on-a-chip (SoC) autonomous driving platform. The company's Smart Electric Platform Architecture (SEPA) runs on 2 chips - NVIDIA for the XPILOT and Qualcomm's Snapdragon™ 820A for intelligent services and infotainment, including cameras inside and outside, radars, HD-map, and ultrasonic sensors. Like Tesla, it claims it can create sufficiently-autonomous driving without lidar.\nTo enhance brand recognition and allow more people to experience its Smart EVs, it deployed a small number of Smart EVs in a ride-hailing service in Guangzhou on a trial basis, but it has no current plan to scale up a ride-hailing service.\nXpeng sees first-quarter 2021 deliveries rising 450% year-over-year to 12,500 vehicles. Revenues are expected to increase 533% from a year ago. The company didn't provide bottom-line estimates for the quarter, but will likely post another net loss as it ramps up manufacturing, invests in R&D, and builds out a new manufacturing plant set to open in 2022.\nXpeng reported selling 12,964 vehicles in Q4 2020, up 303% from a year ago. It delivered a total of 27,041 vehicles in 2020, up 112%. It makes the P7 sedan, a rival to the made-in-China Tesla Model 3, and the small G3 SUV.\nThe stock opened on August 27, 2020 at a price of $15 and a valuation of $11 billion, but its stock jumped more than 40% shortly after. Its current valuation is about $35 billion at a stock price of approximately $36.13 per share. It had about $300 million in revenue in 2019 with a loss of about $500 million.\nNio (NIO)\nUnlike previous companies, Nio has been a public company for some time. It originally went public in the U.S. back in September of 2018, selling IPO shares at $6.26 and raising $1 billion.\nNio's IPO was far from smooth. After going public at $6.26 per share, it traded down to nearly $1. Then in the middle of the coronavirus outbreak, Nio received a much-needed investment of $1 billion from investors, including state-backed entities.\nNio designs, jointly manufactures, and sells smart and connected premium electric vehicles, attempting to develop next-generation technologies in connectivity, autonomous driving, and artificial intelligence. Joint manufacturing means that it uses a state-owned contract manufacturer to build its cars.\nNio plans to provide customers with comprehensive, convenient, and innovative charging solutions and other user-centric services. It began deliveries of the ES8, a 7-seater high-performance premium electric SUV in China in June 2018, and its variant, the six-seater ES8, in March 2019. Nio officially launched the ES6, a 5-seater high-performance premium electric SUV, in December 2018 and began deliveries in June 2019. It officially launched the EC6, a 5-seater smart premium electric Coupe SUV, in December 2019 with deliveries in 2020.\nNio sold 17,353 EVs in Q4/2020 and 43,728 for the year. It warned a shortage in chips and batteries will force a production slowdown to 7,500 a month in Q2 from 10,000 vehicles a month in February.\nNio currently trades at more than $43 per share, including a big jump recently, for a valuation of approximately $48 billion. It had revenue of $2.3 billion in 2019 for a loss of $3.8 billion.\nSummary\nIt's almost a foregone conclusion that EVs will replace ICE vehicles in the next decade, and this should provide exciting new investment opportunities. However, the investment terrain is complex. There are dozens of new start-ups where the public can now invest that were previously exclusively venture capital investment opportunities. Many of these are following different roads to success. There are legacy auto manufacturers that could prosper or get destroyed in this transition. There are some exciting new EV company opportunities in China. And then there is Tesla.\nThis EV roadmap is intended to help investors explore different roads to investment by explaining the basic strategies for these EV companies. These roads can have different opportunities and risks, and the roadmap helps to frame these. Above all, valuation is an overriding risk that is highlighted throughout this article.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":151,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3576456086582950","authorId":"3576456086582950","name":"tungngie","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/988bf89c2727c98e8bd27200a813c1b2","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"idStr":"3576456086582950","authorIdStr":"3576456086582950"},"content":"wow, this is a good idea. can save few trips to charging station or can serve backup juice. hehe.","text":"wow, this is a good idea. can save few trips to charging station or can serve backup juice. hehe.","html":"wow, this is a good idea. can save few trips to charging station or can serve backup juice. hehe."}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":101667923,"gmtCreate":1619909845162,"gmtModify":1704336140523,"author":{"id":"3574646684002399","authorId":"3574646684002399","name":"JohnTeo","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/884c031c0209150d5c4da4db425234b3","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574646684002399","authorIdStr":"3574646684002399"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"The only question is, Do you believe in their mission to make the world better?

For investors, the figures will be higher stakes than usual. The reason is simple: The global automotive microchip shortage is roiling the entire car business.</p>\n<p>Numbers will matter even more for richly valued, high-growth companies such as Tesla(ticker: TSLA). Tesla investors want growth, and the chip situation is squeezing growth. Both General Motors(GM) and Ford Motor(F) have taken unexpected plant downtime recently and have called the chip issue a billion-dollar profit headwind for 2021. That’s not what investors want to hear.</p>\n<p>Everyone is aware of the issue. Still, when first-quarter data is released, investors have to decide whether or not to give Tesla, or any other fast-growing EV maker, a pass if results are weaker than expected.</p>\n<p>So far the market isn’t feeling charitable. But the sample size is only one stock.</p>\n<p>NIO shares (NIO) are down more than 6% in Friday trading after the EV maker reduced guidance for first-quarter deliveries from about 20,250 cars to about 19,500. NIO management cited the chip shortage and is shutting a manufacturing plant for five days starting March 29.</p>\n<p>For Tesla, Wall Street is looking for about 162,000 vehicles delivered in March. That’s down from a peak estimate of about 183,000 vehicles. Analysts seem to be reducing numbers, possibly because of the shortage.</p>\n<p>Tesla delivered about 181,000 vehicles in the fourth quarter. For the full year 2021, analysts are looking for almost 800,000 vehicle deliveries, up about 60% year over year.</p>\n<p>RBC analyst Joe Spak is forecasting 170,000 first-quarter deliveries, up more than 90% year over year. He also forecasts Tesla will make 96,000 cars in California and 74,000 cars in China during the quarter. “Consensus [estimate] looks mostly reasonable,” wrote Spak in a Thursday report. “We do look for updates to see how the semi shortage is impacting Tesla—as it has the rest of the industry.” He sees some additional downside risk to estimates, especially for second-quarter numbers, because of chips.</p>\n<p>Spak rates Tesla stock Hold and has a $725 price target for shares.</p>\n<p>In the case of Tesla stock, the chip shortage has taken a back seat to rising interest rates. Rising rateshit growth stocksin two main ways. For starters, it makes growth more expensive to finance. NIO isn’t profitable yet. High-growth companies generate most of their cash flow far in the future. That cash flow is worth a little less, relatively speaking, when investors can earn higher interest rates on their cash today.</p>\n<p>Tesla stock is down roughly 10% year to date after rising more than 740% in 2020. Shares are down 0.9% in early Friday trading, at $634.40.

That means more delivery data from auto makers is due. For investors, the figures will be higher stakes than usual. The reason is simple: The global automotive microchip shortage is roiling the entire car business.\nNumbers will matter even more for richly valued, high-growth companies such as Tesla(ticker: TSLA). Tesla investors want growth, and the chip situation is squeezing growth. Both General Motors(GM) and Ford Motor(F) have taken unexpected plant downtime recently and have called the chip issue a billion-dollar profit headwind for 2021. That’s not what investors want to hear.\nEveryone is aware of the issue. Still, when first-quarter data is released, investors have to decide whether or not to give Tesla, or any other fast-growing EV maker, a pass if results are weaker than expected.\nSo far the market isn’t feeling charitable. But the sample size is only one stock.\nNIO shares (NIO) are down more than 6% in Friday trading after the EV maker reduced guidance for first-quarter deliveries from about 20,250 cars to about 19,500. NIO management cited the chip shortage and is shutting a manufacturing plant for five days starting March 29.\nFor Tesla, Wall Street is looking for about 162,000 vehicles delivered in March. That’s down from a peak estimate of about 183,000 vehicles. Analysts seem to be reducing numbers, possibly because of the shortage.\nTesla delivered about 181,000 vehicles in the fourth quarter. For the full year 2021, analysts are looking for almost 800,000 vehicle deliveries, up about 60% year over year.\nRBC analyst Joe Spak is forecasting 170,000 first-quarter deliveries, up more than 90% year over year. He also forecasts Tesla will make 96,000 cars in California and 74,000 cars in China during the quarter. “Consensus [estimate] looks mostly reasonable,” wrote Spak in a Thursday report. “We do look for updates to see how the semi shortage is impacting Tesla—as it has the rest of the industry.” He sees some additional downside risk to estimates, especially for second-quarter numbers, because of chips.\nSpak rates Tesla stock Hold and has a $725 price target for shares.\nIn the case of Tesla stock, the chip shortage has taken a back seat to rising interest rates. Rising rateshit growth stocksin two main ways. For starters, it makes growth more expensive to finance. NIO isn’t profitable yet. High-growth companies generate most of their cash flow far in the future. That cash flow is worth a little less, relatively speaking, when investors can earn higher interest rates on their cash today.\nTesla stock is down roughly 10% year to date after rising more than 740% in 2020. Shares are down 0.9% in early Friday trading, at $634.40. The S&P 500is up about 0.7%.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":64,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":328138000,"gmtCreate":1615505473000,"gmtModify":1704783715264,"author":{"id":"3574646684002399","authorId":"3574646684002399","name":"JohnTeo","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/884c031c0209150d5c4da4db425234b3","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574646684002399","authorIdStr":"3574646684002399"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Disney+ is upcoming.

Its net income rose 48% to just under $2.8 billion over the same period. Income surged as slower growth in operating expenses more than offset Netflix's rising cost of interest and foreign exchange losses.</p>\n<p>Nonetheless, investors should take Netflix's net income with a grain of salt. Debt moved higher as content spending steadily rose. BMO Capital Markets forecasted over $17 billion in content spending in 2020. The pandemic shut down production for much of the year, and Netflix did not confirm that figure or reveal how much it allocated to content in 2020.</p>\n<p>Nonetheless, the company spent $15 billion in content development in 2019. This conflicts with the $12.4 billion reported in cost of revenue that year, meaning debt likely financed some development costs.</p>\n<p>As a result, total debt has risen from under $3.4 billion in 2016 to over $16.3 billion in 2020. This far exceeds equity of just under $11.1 billion, the company's value after subtracting liabilities from assets, and leaves the debt-to-equity ratio at almost 1.5.</p>\n<p>Nonetheless, for 2020 Netflix reported free cash flow of more than $1.9 billion, its first year of positive free cash flow since 2011. This covered the $767 million in interest expenses for 2020. Still, the negative cash flow in previous years leads to questions about how Netflix will cover interest expenses if production spending again leads to negative cash flow.</p>\n<p>Knowing this discrepancy, investors should question how long Netflix can finance content development through debt. Eventually, the company may have to dilute shares or scale back development to maintain its financial stability. </p>\n<p>This approach stands in stark contrast to Amazon's financial picture. Its net sales grew by 38% from year-ago levels to $386.1 billion, and net income rose by 84% to $11.1 billion. Income surged as operating expense growth lagged revenue increases, and, unlike in 2019, Amazon turned a non-operating profit in 2020.</p>\n<p>Amazon's leadership in two industries also serves as an advantage. AWS accounted for $13.5 billion of Amazon's $22.9 billion in operating income in 2020. This allows AWS to subsidize competitive initiatives.</p>\n<p>In 2019, net income grew modestly for retailing as the company switched from two-day to <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a>-day shipping. As a result, overall shipping costs in 2019 rose by more than $10 billion, or 37% from year-ago levels, during a period when retail sales revenue increased by just over 18%, or $38 billion during that period. However, since AWS increased operating income by 26%, the company still grew net income by 15%.</p>\n<p>Amazon also supports a more stable balance sheet. In 2020, long-term debt increased by more than $8 billion to $31.8 billion. Nonetheless, the $31 billion in annual free cash flow easily covered interest expenses of just over $1.6 billion. Also, since Amazon supports an equity value of $93.4 billion, its debt-to-equity ratio comes in at a more comfortable 0.3. This makes debt a less significant burden for Amazon than for Netflix.</p>\n<h2>Netflix or Amazon?</h2>\n<p>That debt picture also helps Amazon come out a clear winner among these tech stocks. Netflix appears headed for a hard choice between financial stability and staying ahead in the content race. In contrast, the profit levels of AWS can insulate Amazon amid a highly competitive retail environment.

Amazon rose 3.8%. The tech-heavy benchmark rallied as much as 4.3% during the session.\nThe S&P 500 advanced 1.4% to 3,875.44. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed the day near its session low, rising just 30.30 points, or 0.1%, to 31,832.74. At its session high, the blue-chip benchmark jumped more than 300 points to touch an intraday record high.\nTechnology shares rebounded from steep losses as bond yields stabilized. The10-year Treasury yieldfell more than 5 basis points to 1.54%. The benchmark rate traded as high as 1.62% on Monday.\n“After lagging badly for the last few weeks, growth/momentum stocks are exploding higher as investors grow a bit more comfortable around rates and step in to buy this erstwhile most-loved sector,” Adam Crisafulli, founder of Vital Knowledge, said in a note.\nThe Nasdaq shed 2.4% in the previous session to close more than 10% below its Feb.12 high and falling into correction territory. High-growth names have been pressured lately as rising rates make their future profits less valuable today, making it hard to justify the stocks’ lofty valuations.\nMany popular technology stocks have fallen double digits over the past month amid rate fears. Even with Tuesday’s rally, Apple dropped more than 10% in the past month, while Tesla tumbled 20%. Pandemic betsZoom VideoandPelotonfell 20% and 36%, respectively, during the same period.\n“A lot of these tech stocks have become oversold on a short-term basis. Therefore, it’s not a big surprise that they’re seeing a nice bounce,” said Matt Maley, chief market strategist at Miller Tabak. “The question will be whether this bounce is a strong one...or a ‘dead cat bounce’ that doesn’t last very long at all.”\nWidely followed investor Cathie Wood of Ark Investment Management told CNBC on Monday that the recent tech sell-off created “great opportunities” for her to buy the pure play names in her funds, which are concentrated in disruptive technology stocks.\nWood’s flagship fundArk Innovation (ARKK)popped 10% Tuesdayfor its best day ever.\nMeanwhile, the rally in reopening plays and cyclical stocks took a breather on Tuesday. Energy was the biggest loser with a 1.9% decline, paring its March gains to about 8%. Financials and industrials also underperformed Tuesday.\nSenate approval of the$1.9 trillion economic relief and stimulus billhad prompted investors to continue to rotate into these areas of the market to bet on an economic rebound. House Democrats aim to pass the bill on Wednesday so President Joe Biden can sign it by the weekend.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":198567243,"gmtCreate":1620972155182,"gmtModify":1704351359853,"author":{"id":"3574646684002399","authorId":"3574646684002399","name":"JohnTeo","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/884c031c0209150d5c4da4db425234b3","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574646684002399","authorIdStr":"3574646684002399"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Accepting payment in crypto?

The company cut its revenue outlook from $6.7 billion to $5.6 billion, but that new figure still represents 29% growth year over year. There's one problem, though.

The company expects Sapphire Rapids to reach 1 million units faster than any Xeon server chip ever has, and Intel will likely be pretty aggressive as it tries to hit that target. Winning market share in the data center segment will likely get harder for AMD as time goes on.</p><p>AMD is going to cut its full-year guidance when it reports its results. The only question is by how much. And while the company probably won't share much detail on its expectations for 2023, the potential for a global recession and continued turmoil in the PC market represent some serious headwinds.
