The stock is even trading at a level lower than its opening price on listing. As a company in an emerging technology, the volatility in QuantumScape stock isn't too striking. The key question is, after falling so much, is the stock a buy now? And can it generate multibagger returns over time? Let's take a closer look at what may and may not work for QuantumScape.</p><h2>What may work</h2><p>First and foremost, QuantumScape's biggest attraction is its promising technology. The company claims to have achieved major breakthroughs in next-generation battery technology. Right now, electric vehicles use lithium-ion batteries. Though they're a major improvement over their predecessor -- nickel-cadmium batteries -- lithium-ion batteries have their own limitations.</p><p>To begin with, their energy density -- the amount of energy produced per kilogram or per liter volume -- is low. This makes them bulkier. As increasing weight beyond a level adversely affects a vehicle's performance, electric vehicles right now have limited range and need frequent recharging.</p><p><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F621976%2Fyoung-woman-charging-electric-car.jpg&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>Image source: Getty Images.</p><p>QuantumScape uses solid-state battery technology and has developed lithium-metal batteries that have higher energy density. Additionally, they can be charged faster and could cost less than lithium-ion batteries. If successful, this technology could be a game-changer in the EV space.</p><p>The second thing that favors QuantumScape is the backing of a list of notable people. Apart from an experienced management team, the company has the likes of Bill Gates and <b>Volkswagen</b> (OTC:VWAGY) as its investors. It also boasts several notable board members, including some from the auto industry. The company has spent more than a decade in researching this battery technology and looks committed to its purpose.</p><p>Finally, QuantumScape will have a near-confirmed buyer in Volkswagen should it start commercial production of batteries. Volkswagen plans to build more than 25 million electric vehicles by 2030. Volkswagen has committed funding of $300 million to QuantumScape. Furthermore, it has formed a joint venture with QuantumScape for commercial production of batteries. Notably, this partnership does not require QuantumScape to supply exclusively to Volkswagen, and the company can potentially sell to other automakers.</p><h2>What may not work</h2><p>There are several factors that may affect QuantumScape's plans. First and foremost, it does not have a commercially viable product right now. The company's battery technology so far has only been sample tested in labs. There remain many unknowns between now and when the company thinks it can have a product ready for use at a commercial scale.</p><p>For example, QuantumScape uses a proprietary separator in its lithium-metal batteries. It expects engineering challenges as it increases the dimensions and volumes of this solid-state separator. Likewise, to achieve the required energy density, single-layer cells need to be stacked in multi-layer format. The company hasn't yet built multi-layer cells of dimensions required for electric vehicles and does not yet have the manufacturing processes to develop such cells in high volumes.</p><p>Further, the company hasn't yet finalized the composition of cathode material to be used in its solid-state batteries and whether it meets electric vehicle requirements or not. In short, QuantumScape's solid-state technology could fail to produce the desired results, or it may end up costing higher than the company is hoping.</p><p>The second factor that may work against QuantumScape is fierce competition. QuantumScape is not the only company trying to commercialize solid-state technology. <b>Toyota</b> (NYSE:TM), for example, plans to produce vehicles running on solid-state batteries by 2025. It hopes to launch a prototype as early as this year itself. Along with <b>Panasonic</b> partnership, Toyota is believed to be backed by the Japanese government. Toyota already has more than 1,000 patents related to solid-state battery technology.</p><p><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F621976%2Fhand-turns-a-dice-and-changes-the-word-no-to-yes.jpg&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"327\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>Image source: Getty Images.</p><p>Top suppliers of lithium-ion batteries are also researching solid-state technology. Finally, there are several development-stage companies working on the next-generation battery technology, like EnergyX and Amprius.</p><p>QuantumScape has more than 200 patents and patent applications relating to its battery technology. That does seem to be higher than most competitors apart from Toyota. With the backing of Volkswagen, QuantumScape thus looks well-positioned to take competition head-on.</p><p>Another potential issue is that of patent infringements. Though better-protected in the U.S., patent rights could be difficult and expensive to protect in several other countries. On the other hand, QuantumScape's competitors may hold some patents that may interfere in the production process, resulting in lawsuits on it. That, again, could make it difficult for QuantumScape to carry on its operations.</p><p>The final thing that works against QuantumScape is the long time before it could become profitable. The company expects to generate positive EBITDA in 2027.

The stock is even trading at a level lower than its opening price on listing. As a company in an emerging technology, the volatility in QuantumScape stock isn't too striking. The key question is, after falling so much, is the stock a buy now? And can it generate multibagger returns over time? Let's take a closer look at what may and may not work for QuantumScape.What may workFirst and foremost, QuantumScape's biggest attraction is its promising technology. The company claims to have achieved major breakthroughs in next-generation battery technology. Right now, electric vehicles use lithium-ion batteries. Though they're a major improvement over their predecessor -- nickel-cadmium batteries -- lithium-ion batteries have their own limitations.To begin with, their energy density -- the amount of energy produced per kilogram or per liter volume -- is low. This makes them bulkier. As increasing weight beyond a level adversely affects a vehicle's performance, electric vehicles right now have limited range and need frequent recharging.Image source: Getty Images.QuantumScape uses solid-state battery technology and has developed lithium-metal batteries that have higher energy density. Additionally, they can be charged faster and could cost less than lithium-ion batteries. If successful, this technology could be a game-changer in the EV space.The second thing that favors QuantumScape is the backing of a list of notable people. Apart from an experienced management team, the company has the likes of Bill Gates and Volkswagen (OTC:VWAGY) as its investors. It also boasts several notable board members, including some from the auto industry. The company has spent more than a decade in researching this battery technology and looks committed to its purpose.Finally, QuantumScape will have a near-confirmed buyer in Volkswagen should it start commercial production of batteries. Volkswagen plans to build more than 25 million electric vehicles by 2030. Volkswagen has committed funding of $300 million to QuantumScape. Furthermore, it has formed a joint venture with QuantumScape for commercial production of batteries. Notably, this partnership does not require QuantumScape to supply exclusively to Volkswagen, and the company can potentially sell to other automakers.What may not workThere are several factors that may affect QuantumScape's plans. First and foremost, it does not have a commercially viable product right now. The company's battery technology so far has only been sample tested in labs. There remain many unknowns between now and when the company thinks it can have a product ready for use at a commercial scale.For example, QuantumScape uses a proprietary separator in its lithium-metal batteries. It expects engineering challenges as it increases the dimensions and volumes of this solid-state separator. Likewise, to achieve the required energy density, single-layer cells need to be stacked in multi-layer format. The company hasn't yet built multi-layer cells of dimensions required for electric vehicles and does not yet have the manufacturing processes to develop such cells in high volumes.Further, the company hasn't yet finalized the composition of cathode material to be used in its solid-state batteries and whether it meets electric vehicle requirements or not. In short, QuantumScape's solid-state technology could fail to produce the desired results, or it may end up costing higher than the company is hoping.The second factor that may work against QuantumScape is fierce competition. QuantumScape is not the only company trying to commercialize solid-state technology. Toyota (NYSE:TM), for example, plans to produce vehicles running on solid-state batteries by 2025. It hopes to launch a prototype as early as this year itself. Along with Panasonic partnership, Toyota is believed to be backed by the Japanese government. Toyota already has more than 1,000 patents related to solid-state battery technology.Image source: Getty Images.Top suppliers of lithium-ion batteries are also researching solid-state technology. Finally, there are several development-stage companies working on the next-generation battery technology, like EnergyX and Amprius.QuantumScape has more than 200 patents and patent applications relating to its battery technology. That does seem to be higher than most competitors apart from Toyota. With the backing of Volkswagen, QuantumScape thus looks well-positioned to take competition head-on.Another potential issue is that of patent infringements. Though better-protected in the U.S., patent rights could be difficult and expensive to protect in several other countries. On the other hand, QuantumScape's competitors may hold some patents that may interfere in the production process, resulting in lawsuits on it. That, again, could make it difficult for QuantumScape to carry on its operations.The final thing that works against QuantumScape is the long time before it could become profitable. The company expects to generate positive EBITDA in 2027.  Many things can go against it in the meantime, the biggest being a competitor bringing the technology to market before QuantumScape.ConclusionIn addition to the above-noted positives, it is also worth noting that QuantumScape doesn't expect to need additional funding until it starts commercial production. That means less potential dilution for existing shareholders. Based on its forecasted EBITDA of $1.6 billion in 2028, the stock's valuation seems reasonable after its more than 70% fall.Can QuantumScape fail to achieve what it is hoping? Of course, it can. But the company seems to be making an honest effort in a promising segment. And it seems to have a lead and an edge. Still, competition is fierce and there remain many unknowns between lab testing to commercial production and real-world operation. But I think there are more pluses than minuses here. For that reason, QuantumScape has a fair chance of becoming a millionaire-maker stock.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":376,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":372998973,"gmtCreate":1619165834792,"gmtModify":1704720644676,"author":{"id":"3578478726247630","authorId":"3578478726247630","name":"xNemesys","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/09ab86d6c490aba7ca6d9acc22937ac4","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578478726247630","authorIdStr":"3578478726247630"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Btc to usd 100k by 2022","listText":"Btc to usd 100k by 2022","text":"Btc to usd 100k by 2022","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/372998973","repostId":"1109677270","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1109677270","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1619165270,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1109677270?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-23 16:07","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Why crypto stocks tumbled in premarket trading","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1109677270","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Crypto stocks tumbled in premarket trading after Bitcoin falling more than 8% as cryptos stumble ove","content":"<p>Crypto stocks tumbled in premarket trading&nbsp;after&nbsp;Bitcoin falling more&nbsp;than&nbsp;8% as cryptos stumble over Biden tax plans.Canaan&nbsp;Inc.&nbsp;and&nbsp;Riot Blockchain&nbsp;fell&nbsp;more&nbsp;than&nbsp;9%,Marathon&nbsp;Digital,The9&nbsp;and&nbsp;SOS&nbsp;Limited&nbsp;fell&nbsp;nearly&nbsp;8%,Bit Digital&nbsp;fell&nbsp;nearly&nbsp;7%,Coinbase&nbsp;fell&nbsp;nearly&nbsp;4%.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8df1b71a6465ba625a78a685cbdd8d4f\" tg-width=\"415\" tg-height=\"543\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies suffered hefty losses on Friday amid fears that U.S. President Joe Biden's plan to raise capital gains taxes will curb investment in digital assets.</p><p>Bitcoin slumped 8% to below $48000 / piece in a third straight session of losses while Ether and XPR suffered double digit tumbles.</p><p>\"The crypto currency came under fresh pressure on the Biden tax headlines,\" Deutsche Bank's Jim Reid wrote in a note to clients.</p><p>Bitcoin, the world's biggest cryptocurrency, is on track for a 15% loss on the week.

While it was doing well for a long time, online competition and digital downloads from the likes of Epic Games, Steam, <b>Microsoft</b>, and <b>Sony</b>&nbsp;have eaten into the retailer's sales.</p><p>In fact, in four out of the last five years, GameStop's same-store sales (comps) fell. This includes a 19.4% drop in fiscal 2019. This period ended on Feb. 1, 2020, before the pandemic took hold and dramatically altered people's lives and business activity.</p><p>Last year, comps dropped by 9.5%. These results didn't measure up, even given the pandemic, and CEO George Sherman forfeited previously granted performance shares.</p><p>GameStop faced a tough road to reverse this slide and compete with digital offerings. But an investment offered GameStop shareholders some hope that better days were ahead.</p><h2>A major investor enters</h2><p>RC Ventures, led by Ryan Cohen, who founded the successful online company <b>Chewy</b>, made a major investment in GameStop last year.</p><p>With about a 13% stake, RC Ventures has set about to make some changes. This includes Cohen, who took a board seat along with two others in January, recently stepping up as chairman. The company also announced that George Sherman, chief executive officer, was stepping down in July, or possibly earlier if his replacement is found.</p><p>With Cohen's experience, plus his push to hire executives with e-commerce experience from places like Chewy and <b>Amazon</b>, Cohen will attempt to move GameStop further into digital offerings.</p><h2>Hit the pause button</h2><p>GameStop, which has been cleaning up its balance sheet, recently announced that it would pay down debt. It plans to repay the $216 million senior notes, ridding itself of long-term debt. This gives the company some breathing room to execute its plan.</p><p>Cohen is hiring the management team, but it has provided few details on a turnaround plan. While he certainly has e-commerce credentials, and his track record is impressive, it is hard to take a leap of faith right now. There are formidable competitors in the digital download arena, making it tough for GameStop to compete. This means winning the battle will not come easy.</p><p>There a couple of things that need to happen before you invest your money. First, you need to hear details on the plan. But I wouldn't stop there.

Although the stock has dropped from that level, it remains up about 800% this year.If you haven't benefited from this year's astounding rise, you may feel like you've missed out. But there are good reasons you should hold off right now.Image source: Getty Images.Losing to digitalGameStop sells video hardware and games. While it was doing well for a long time, online competition and digital downloads from the likes of Epic Games, Steam, Microsoft, and Sony have eaten into the retailer's sales.In fact, in four out of the last five years, GameStop's same-store sales (comps) fell. This includes a 19.4% drop in fiscal 2019. This period ended on Feb. 1, 2020, before the pandemic took hold and dramatically altered people's lives and business activity.Last year, comps dropped by 9.5%. These results didn't measure up, even given the pandemic, and CEO George Sherman forfeited previously granted performance shares.GameStop faced a tough road to reverse this slide and compete with digital offerings. But an investment offered GameStop shareholders some hope that better days were ahead.A major investor entersRC Ventures, led by Ryan Cohen, who founded the successful online company Chewy, made a major investment in GameStop last year.With about a 13% stake, RC Ventures has set about to make some changes. This includes Cohen, who took a board seat along with two others in January, recently stepping up as chairman. The company also announced that George Sherman, chief executive officer, was stepping down in July, or possibly earlier if his replacement is found.With Cohen's experience, plus his push to hire executives with e-commerce experience from places like Chewy and Amazon, Cohen will attempt to move GameStop further into digital offerings.Hit the pause buttonGameStop, which has been cleaning up its balance sheet, recently announced that it would pay down debt. It plans to repay the $216 million senior notes, ridding itself of long-term debt. This gives the company some breathing room to execute its plan.Cohen is hiring the management team, but it has provided few details on a turnaround plan. While he certainly has e-commerce credentials, and his track record is impressive, it is hard to take a leap of faith right now. There are formidable competitors in the digital download arena, making it tough for GameStop to compete. This means winning the battle will not come easy.There a couple of things that need to happen before you invest your money. First, you need to hear details on the plan. But I wouldn't stop there. It is important to see how management is executing its strategy and how its actions flow to the top and bottom lines.While GameStop's fourth-quarter comps rose by 6.5%, this was largely due to new game consoles from Sony and Microsoft. This also helped first-quarter sales get off to a good start, with February's comps increasing by 23%. Therefore, it is important to see how the company's software sales, which GameStop breaks out separately, are doing. With fierce online competition, this isn't easy sledding.Until you see this improving, it's best to sit on the sidelines.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":238,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
