Similar to Tesla's approach, Lucid expects to transition from only selling luxury vehicles to also offering more-affordable models, which it expects to introduce in 2025.

The absolute worst thing that could happen to Virgin Galactic is a spacecraft failure during flight, which could cost lives and literally sink the company. Safety should be first,whether that means weeks or months of delays or not. Third, and maybe most important, this is what happens in cutting-edge aviation. Running into problems, making fixes, and overcoming challenges are par for the course.

It's doing much worse than the <b>Invesco Solar ETF</b> (NYSEMKT:TAN), which is down around 30% so far in 2021.</p><p>Solar was <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> of the best performing industries in 2020. This year, the narrative has flipped as solar and other renewable stocks are facing a slew of competitors, supply chain issues, and the threat of higher interest rates.</p><p>Here's a look at why shares of Array Technologies tanked -- and where to go from here.</p><h2>A quick primer</h2><p>Before we begin, it's important to understand Array's role in the solar industry. If you follow the sector, you might be familiar with panel players like <b>First Solar</b>, inverter and power optimizer manufacturers like <b>SolarEdge</b>,&nbsp;or microinverter makers like <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ENPH\">Enphase Energy</a></b>. Array doesn't compete with any of these companies. Instead, it makes trackers that clamp onto solar panels. Its focus is on utility-scale projects, not residential customers.</p><p>These single-axis trackers adjust panels to optimize performance throughout the day. Over the years, Array has emerged as a leader in the tracking industry. The value proposition is simple: If its trackers can generate more energy for a lower price than the cost of setting up new panels, then they help customers save money.</p><h2>Why shares are plunging</h2><p>Array's sell-off has been swift and brutal, consisting of three key phases over the course of a few months.</p><h3>Phase 1: The sector decline</h3><p>After starting the year above $43 per share, Array quickly began sliding along with the broader solar industry. There were a number of factors that played into the sector's decline, but the big ones were lower earnings expectations, rising interest rates, more competition, and valuation concerns.</p><p>Higher interest rates in particular directly affect Array. They make it more expensive to borrow money, which in turn can lower the profitability of development projects. Array's customers tend to be engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) firms that bid for major solar projects. Fewer projects mean fewer bids, which in turn can lead to less business for Array.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://media.ycharts.com/charts/77bace4df750df160f613d218ddd411c.png\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"468\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>ARRY data by YCharts.</span></p><h3>Phase 2: The Oaktree Capital sale</h3><p>Shortly after Array reported its fourth-quarter and full-year 2020 results, Oaktree Capital, an early investor in Array Technologies and formerly <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the largest shareholders in the company, sold 35.48 million shares in March. Early investors selling shares tends to be a red flag. What made this sale particularly jarring was its size and valuation.</p><p>Oaktree's sale represented over a fourth of Array's stock float (the number of shares owned by the public). The shares were also sold for an average price of $28, which was below the price of Array stock at the time. A key stakeholder offloading its position for what was then a 52-week low isn't a good look. And sure enough, Array's share price came under more pressure.</p><h3>Phase 3: First-quarter earnings</h3><p>The final blow came last week when Array reported its first-quarter 2021 results. More important than the numbers themselves is the severity in which Array's supply chain is being impacted by higher costs for steel and ocean and truck shipping costs. The company's operating expenses and costs of goods sold (COGS) skyrocketed due to a global shortage in commodities that previously were somewhat stable. Steel accounted for around half of the company's first-quarter COGS.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://media.ycharts.com/charts/2a7bc7ecbe8307b6890bef19ce2b35e0.png\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"482\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>ARRY Cost of Goods Sold (Quarterly) data by YCharts.</span></p><p>Management reiterated in the earnings call that the solar industry as a whole is healthy and that many of the long-term growth drivers remain intact. But the increased cost of steel and other supply chain issues singlehandedly spoiled what could have been quite a profitable quarter. Instead, the company squeaked out a meek $2.9 million in net income. To make matters worse, management suspended its full-year guidance, hinted that second-quarter revenue and profitability could be even lower, and said it was too early to know when the business environment will normalize. It also said it wouldn't provide guidance until shipping and commodity costs become more predictable.</p><h2>What to do now</h2><p>Before the post-earnings plunge, Array looked like a good value based on its previously stated guidance -- which called for revenue in the range of $1.03 billion to $1.13 billion, adjusted EBITDA between $164 million and $180 million, and adjusted net income per share of $0.82 to $0.92. But with that guidance now off the table and profitability in question, Array's short-term prospects look bleak.</p><p>There's no sugarcoating the fact that the company was blindsided by rapidly rising commodity prices. In response, Array has been scrambling to secure contracts with suppliers that will allow it to buy steel at a discount to the spot price It's also looking to raise prices and pass along some of the higher commodity costs to its customers. The problem with raising prices is that customers could simply delay their orders to the second half of the year, when commodity prices are expected to come down.</p><p>It's disappointing to see just how vulnerable Array is to rising steel prices. However, much of the long-term thesis remains intact. Given its reduced share price, Array seems like a good turnaround play.

It's doing much worse than the Invesco Solar ETF (NYSEMKT:TAN), which is down around 30% so far in 2021.Solar was one of the best performing industries in 2020. This year, the narrative has flipped as solar and other renewable stocks are facing a slew of competitors, supply chain issues, and the threat of higher interest rates.Here's a look at why shares of Array Technologies tanked -- and where to go from here.A quick primerBefore we begin, it's important to understand Array's role in the solar industry. If you follow the sector, you might be familiar with panel players like First Solar, inverter and power optimizer manufacturers like SolarEdge, or microinverter makers like Enphase Energy. Array doesn't compete with any of these companies. Instead, it makes trackers that clamp onto solar panels. Its focus is on utility-scale projects, not residential customers.These single-axis trackers adjust panels to optimize performance throughout the day. Over the years, Array has emerged as a leader in the tracking industry. The value proposition is simple: If its trackers can generate more energy for a lower price than the cost of setting up new panels, then they help customers save money.Why shares are plungingArray's sell-off has been swift and brutal, consisting of three key phases over the course of a few months.Phase 1: The sector declineAfter starting the year above $43 per share, Array quickly began sliding along with the broader solar industry. There were a number of factors that played into the sector's decline, but the big ones were lower earnings expectations, rising interest rates, more competition, and valuation concerns.Higher interest rates in particular directly affect Array. They make it more expensive to borrow money, which in turn can lower the profitability of development projects. Array's customers tend to be engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) firms that bid for major solar projects. Fewer projects mean fewer bids, which in turn can lead to less business for Array.ARRY data by YCharts.Phase 2: The Oaktree Capital saleShortly after Array reported its fourth-quarter and full-year 2020 results, Oaktree Capital, an early investor in Array Technologies and formerly one of the largest shareholders in the company, sold 35.48 million shares in March. Early investors selling shares tends to be a red flag. What made this sale particularly jarring was its size and valuation.Oaktree's sale represented over a fourth of Array's stock float (the number of shares owned by the public). The shares were also sold for an average price of $28, which was below the price of Array stock at the time. A key stakeholder offloading its position for what was then a 52-week low isn't a good look. And sure enough, Array's share price came under more pressure.Phase 3: First-quarter earningsThe final blow came last week when Array reported its first-quarter 2021 results. More important than the numbers themselves is the severity in which Array's supply chain is being impacted by higher costs for steel and ocean and truck shipping costs. The company's operating expenses and costs of goods sold (COGS) skyrocketed due to a global shortage in commodities that previously were somewhat stable. Steel accounted for around half of the company's first-quarter COGS.ARRY Cost of Goods Sold (Quarterly) data by YCharts.Management reiterated in the earnings call that the solar industry as a whole is healthy and that many of the long-term growth drivers remain intact. But the increased cost of steel and other supply chain issues singlehandedly spoiled what could have been quite a profitable quarter. Instead, the company squeaked out a meek $2.9 million in net income. To make matters worse, management suspended its full-year guidance, hinted that second-quarter revenue and profitability could be even lower, and said it was too early to know when the business environment will normalize. It also said it wouldn't provide guidance until shipping and commodity costs become more predictable.What to do nowBefore the post-earnings plunge, Array looked like a good value based on its previously stated guidance -- which called for revenue in the range of $1.03 billion to $1.13 billion, adjusted EBITDA between $164 million and $180 million, and adjusted net income per share of $0.82 to $0.92. But with that guidance now off the table and profitability in question, Array's short-term prospects look bleak.There's no sugarcoating the fact that the company was blindsided by rapidly rising commodity prices. In response, Array has been scrambling to secure contracts with suppliers that will allow it to buy steel at a discount to the spot price It's also looking to raise prices and pass along some of the higher commodity costs to its customers. The problem with raising prices is that customers could simply delay their orders to the second half of the year, when commodity prices are expected to come down.It's disappointing to see just how vulnerable Array is to rising steel prices. However, much of the long-term thesis remains intact. Given its reduced share price, Array seems like a good turnaround play. But investors interested in the stock should accept that the road to recovery could take quite some time, not to mention there could be more pain ahead if steel and shipping costs remain high.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":419,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":108219248,"gmtCreate":1620029509784,"gmtModify":1704337582012,"author":{"id":"3578868906408022","authorId":"3578868906408022","name":"DylanKua","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7a402f78c548fdf2746409dc81488d8c","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578868906408022","authorIdStr":"3578868906408022"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good","listText":"Good","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/108219248","repostId":"1135819410","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1135819410","pubTimestamp":1619999342,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1135819410?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-03 07:49","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Uber, Pfizer, PayPal, T-Mobile, ViacomCBS, General Motors, and Other Stocks for Investors to Watch This Week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1135819410","media":"Barrons","summary":"It’s another packed week of earnings reports, with 130 S&P 500 companies on deck to release their fi","content":"<p>It’s another packed week of earnings reports, with 130 S&amp;P 500 companies on deck to release their first-quarter results.

Munger, Berkshire Hathaway’s vice chairman, is adored for his expansive knowledge and his maxims about business, investing, and life as well as his colorful language and humor. Famously, he would often say, after Buffett finished speaking, “I have nothing further to add.” Last year, due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting went virtual, with Buffett answering questions from afar in an empty CHI Health Center Arena without Munger.</p>\n<p>While Buffett is the more public and recognizable face for Berkshire Hathaway, the iconic conglomerate as it stands today was built to Munger’s blueprint of moving beyond so-called “cigar-butt” investing to “buying wonderful businesses at fair prices,” according to a shareholder letter commemorating the company’s 50th anniversary. Though Buffett credits Munger for his success, he also emphasizes that his friend and business partner has made him a “better person.”</p>\n<p>And so to commemorate the reunion of these two investing legends and long-time partners and friends, we’ve compiled some of our favorite Munger quotes:</p>\n<p><b>On learning</b></p>\n<p>“In my whole life, I have known no wise people (over a broad subject matter area) who didn’t read all the time — none, zero.

Munger, Berkshire Hathaway’s vice chairman, is adored for his expansive knowledge and his maxims about business, investing, and life as well as his colorful language and humor. Famously, he would often say, after Buffett finished speaking, “I have nothing further to add.” Last year, due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting went virtual, with Buffett answering questions from afar in an empty CHI Health Center Arena without Munger.\nWhile Buffett is the more public and recognizable face for Berkshire Hathaway, the iconic conglomerate as it stands today was built to Munger’s blueprint of moving beyond so-called “cigar-butt” investing to “buying wonderful businesses at fair prices,” according to a shareholder letter commemorating the company’s 50th anniversary. Though Buffett credits Munger for his success, he also emphasizes that his friend and business partner has made him a “better person.”\nAnd so to commemorate the reunion of these two investing legends and long-time partners and friends, we’ve compiled some of our favorite Munger quotes:\nOn learning\n“In my whole life, I have known no wise people (over a broad subject matter area) who didn’t read all the time — none, zero.

Munger, Berkshire Hathaway’s vice chairman, is adored for his expansive knowledge and his maxims about business, investing, and life as well as his colorful language and humor. Famously, he would often say, after Buffett finished speaking, “I have nothing further to add.” Last year, due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting went virtual, with Buffett answering questions from afar in an empty CHI Health Center Arena without Munger.\nWhile Buffett is the more public and recognizable face for Berkshire Hathaway, the iconic conglomerate as it stands today was built to Munger’s blueprint of moving beyond so-called “cigar-butt” investing to “buying wonderful businesses at fair prices,” according to a shareholder letter commemorating the company’s 50th anniversary. Though Buffett credits Munger for his success, he also emphasizes that his friend and business partner has made him a “better person.”\nAnd so to commemorate the reunion of these two investing legends and long-time partners and friends, we’ve compiled some of our favorite Munger quotes:\nOn learning\n“In my whole life, I have known no wise people (over a broad subject matter area) who didn’t read all the time — none, zero. You’d be amazed at how much Warren reads — and at how much I read. My children laugh at me. They think I’m a book with a couple of legs sticking out.”—Poor Charlie's Almanack\n\"Without the method of learning, you're like a one-legged man in an ass-kicking contest. It's just not going to work very well.\"—2021 Daily Journal AGM\n“I constantly see people rise in life who are not the smartest, sometimes not even the most diligent, but they are learning machines. They go to bed every night a little wiser than when they got up and boy does that help—particularly when you have a long run ahead of you.”—2007 USC Law School Commencement Address\n“I think that a life properly lived is just learn, learn, learn all the time.”—2017 Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting\n“Acquire worldly wisdom and adjust your behavior accordingly. If your new behavior gives you a little temporary unpopularity with your peer group then to hell with them.”—Poor Charlie's Almanack\n“Live within your income and save so that you can invest. Learn what you need to learn.”—Damn Right! : Behind the Scenes with Berkshire Hathaway Billionaire Charlie Munger\nOn investing and business:\n“Understanding both the power of compound interest and the difficulty of getting it is the heart and soul of understanding a lot of things.”—Poor Charlie's Almanack\n“There are huge advantages for an individual to get into a position where you make a few great investments and just sit on your ass: You are paying less to brokers. You are listening to less nonsense. And if it works, the governmental tax system gives you an extra 1, 2 or 3 percentage points per annum compounded.” —Worldly Wisdom by Charlie Munger 1995 - 1998\n“I have a friend who’s a fisherman he says, ‘I have a simple rule for success in fishing. Fish where the fish are.’ You want to fish where the bargains are. That simple. If the fishing is really lousy where you are you should probably look for another place to fish.”—2020 Daily Journal AGM\n“Mimicking the herd invites regression to the mean (merely average performance).”—Poor Charlie's Almanack\n“The world is full of foolish gamblers and they will not do as well as the patient investors.”—2018 Weekly in Stocks interview\n“It takes character to sit with all that cash and to do nothing. I didn’t get to be where I am by going after mediocre opportunities.”—Poor Charlie's Almanack\n“I find it much easier to find four or five investments where I have a pretty reasonable chance of being right that they're way above average. I think it's much easier to find five than it is to find 100. I think the people who argue for all this diversification — by the way, I call it ‘deworsification’ — which I copied from somebody — and I'm way more comfortable owning two or three stocks which I think I know something about and where I think I have an advantage.” —2021 Daily Journal AGM\n\"Usually, I don’t use formal projections. I don’t let people do them for me because I don’t like throwing up on the desk, but I see them made in a very foolish way all the time, and many people believe in them, no matter how foolish they are. It’s an effective sales technique in America to put a foolish projection on a desk.\"—2003 Herb Kay Undergraduate Lecture University of California, Santa Barbara Economics Department\n\"I think the reason why we got into such idiocy in investment management is best illustrated by a story that I tell about the guy who sold fishing tackle. I asked him, 'My God, they're purple and green. Do fish really take these lures?' And he said, 'Mister, I don't sell to fish.'\" —\"A Lesson on Elementary, Worldly Wisdom As It Relates To Investment Management & Business,\" 1994 speech at USC Business School\n“Capitalism without failure is like religion without hell.” —Tao of Charlie Munger\nOn mental models and decision-making frameworks:\n“We’ve had enough good sense when something is working very well to keep doing it. I’d say we’re demonstrating what might be called the fundamental algorithm of life — repeat what works.”—2010 Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting\n“I spent a lifetime trying to avoid my own mental biases. A.) I rub my own nose into my own mistakes. B.) I try and keep it simple and fundamental as much as I can. And, I like the engineering concept of a margin of safety. I’m a very blocking and tackling kind of thinker. I just try to avoid being stupid. I have a way of handling a lot of problems — I put them in what I call my ‘too hard pile,’ and just leave them there. I’m not trying to succeed in my ‘too hard pile.’” —2020 CalTech Distinguished Alumni Award interview\nOn life:\n“I think life is a whole series of opportunity costs. You know, you got to marry the best person who is convenient to find who will have you. Investment is much the same sort of a process.”—1997 Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting\n\"Another thing, of course, is life will have terrible blows, horrible blows, unfair blows. Doesn’t matter. And some people recover and others don’t. And there I think the attitude of Epictetus is the best. He thought that every mischance in life was an opportunity to behave well. Every mischance in life was an opportunity to learn something and your duty was not to be submerged in self-pity, but to utilize the terrible blow in a constructive fashion. That is a very good idea.\"—2007 USC Law School Commencement Address\n“You don’t have a lot of envy, you don’t have a lot of resentment, you don’t overspend your income, you stay cheerful in spite of your troubles, you deal with reliable people and you do what you’re supposed to do. All these simple rules work so well to make your life better.”—2019 CNBC interview","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":440,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":137218730,"gmtCreate":1622349565120,"gmtModify":1704183344876,"author":{"id":"3578868906408022","authorId":"3578868906408022","name":"DylanKua","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7a402f78c548fdf2746409dc81488d8c","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578868906408022","authorIdStr":"3578868906408022"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/137218730","repostId":"2138102985","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2138102985","pubTimestamp":1622131200,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2138102985?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-28 00:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Where Will Lucid Motors Be in 5 Years?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2138102985","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Management is enthusiastic about the open road that's ahead.","content":"<html><body><span>\n<p>Remember the '80s?

Assembly of the company's first production model, the Lucid Air, will occur at the newly built factory in Arizona in the second half of 2021. Management recently reported that the company has received more than 9,000 reservations for the Lucid Air, and it expects to deliver about 1,000 units of the luxury sedan to customers in North America by the end of the year; deliveries to customers in international markets will commence in 2022.</p>\n<p>Over the next five years, Lucid foresees considerable growth in production, including the introduction of an SUV, Project Gravity, in 2023. With projected Air deliveries rising to 36,000 and Project Gravity deliveries of 12,000, Lucid expects to sell about 48,000 vehicles in 2023.</p>\n<p>By 2026, however, management expects SUV deliveries of about 134,000 to outnumber Air deliveries (about 42,000). Similar to Tesla's approach, Lucid expects to transition from only selling luxury vehicles to also offering more-affordable models, which it expects to introduce in 2025. Growing from 7,000 in 2025 to 75,000 in 2026, sales of the more-affordable vehicles will help the company (presumably) sell 251,000 vehicles in 2026.</p><div></div>\n<h2>Looking for the financials in the crystal ball</h2>\n<p>In seeking to grow vehicle deliveries from less than 1,000 in 2021 to 251,000 five years later, management clearly anticipates considerable success in convincing customers to hop into its driver seats. Investors, however, are likely more interested in where the rubber meets the road: the company's financial projections.</p>\n<div><table border=\"1\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"col\">Metric</th>\n<th scope=\"col\">2022</th>\n<th scope=\"col\">2023</th>\n<th scope=\"col\">2024</th>\n<th scope=\"col\">2025</th>\n<th scope=\"col\">2026</th>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Revenue</td>\n<td>$2.2 billion</td>\n<td>$5.5 billion</td>\n<td>$9.9 billion</td>\n<td>$14 billion</td>\n<td>$22.8 billion</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Gross profit</td>\n<td>$34 million</td>\n<td>$1.1 billion</td>\n<td>$2.1 billion</td>\n<td>$3.1 billion</td>\n<td>$5.3 billion</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>EBITDA (loss)</td>\n<td>($1.1 billion)</td>\n<td>($637 million)</td>\n<td>$592 million</td>\n<td>$1.7 billion</td>\n<td>$2.9 billion</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Free cash flow</td>\n<td>($2.8 billion)</td>\n<td>($3.3 billion)</td>\n<td>($1.5 billion)</td>\n<td>$321 million</td>\n<td>$1.5 billion</td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table></div>\n<p>Data source: Lucid Motors. </p>\n<p>Based on the belief that it'll sell about 1,000 vehicles this year, Lucid expects to book $97 million on the top line. But with production ramping up next year, management believes revenue will grow considerably and continue to do so for the next five years.</p>\n<p>It expects the company to consistently generate a gross profit, averaging about 22% from 2023 through 2026. To put this in perspective, consider that over the past five years, Tesla has reported an average gross margin of 19.7%. Profitability on an EBITDA basis, on the other hand, isn't expected to occur until 2024. If Lucid meets its revenue and EBITDA forecasts in 2026, it'll generate an EBITDA margin of about 12.7%, comparable to the 13% EBITDA margin that Tesla has reported on a trailing-12-month basis.</p><div></div>\n<p>In terms of cash flow, Lucid expects that it will allocate $1.9 billion for capital expenditures (capex) in 2023 -- the highest amount over the next five years -- presumably to prepare for the production of its SUV that's planned for that year. Over the next several years, capex spending is expected to taper off, ending with the company spending $573 million on capex in 2026. Consequently, Lucid projects generating $1.52 billion in free cash flow in 2026. If we assume (again) that the company meets its revenue forecast, it will translate to a free cash flow margin of 6.7%, the same margin that Tesla has reported over the past 12 months.</p>\n<h2>Let's be clear about Lucid's prospects</h2>\n<p>After taking a look at management's forecasts for the next five years, it's no wonder that investors are excited about Lucid's prospects. With management espousing such an auspicious view of the future, does this mean that EV investors should drive off with an investment and park the stock in their portfolios? Not quite.</p>\n<p>Competition continues to ramp up with upstart EV manufacturers as well as legacy automakers that are shifting gears and committing to more EV-heavy product lineups. In addition, the company will surely face some bumps in the road over the next few years -- challenges that could result in the company failing to meet its growth projections. Additionally, the fact that management has supplied the projected financial figures is critical to note. The investing landscape is littered with companies that have provided ambitious earnings forecasts to drive investor enthusiasm yet who have failed to achieved their own guidance. Therefore, investors should be circumspect about taking managment's projections at face value, considering an investment with caution and weighting the risks accordingly.</p>\n<div></div>\n</span></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","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>Where Will Lucid Motors Be in 5 Years?</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\">\nWhere Will Lucid Motors Be in 5 Years?\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-05-28 00:00 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/05/28/where-will-lucid-be-in-5-years/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Remember the '80s?

Growing from 7,000 in 2025 to 75,000 in 2026, sales of the more-affordable vehicles will help the company (presumably) sell 251,000 vehicles in 2026.\nLooking for the financials in the crystal ball\nIn seeking to grow vehicle deliveries from less than 1,000 in 2021 to 251,000 five years later, management clearly anticipates considerable success in convincing customers to hop into its driver seats. Investors, however, are likely more interested in where the rubber meets the road: the company's financial projections.\n\n\n\nMetric\n2022\n2023\n2024\n2025\n2026\n\n\nRevenue\n$2.2 billion\n$5.5 billion\n$9.9 billion\n$14 billion\n$22.8 billion\n\n\nGross profit\n$34 million\n$1.1 billion\n$2.1 billion\n$3.1 billion\n$5.3 billion\n\n\nEBITDA (loss)\n($1.1 billion)\n($637 million)\n$592 million\n$1.7 billion\n$2.9 billion\n\n\nFree cash flow\n($2.8 billion)\n($3.3 billion)\n($1.5 billion)\n$321 million\n$1.5 billion\n\n\n\nData source: Lucid Motors. \nBased on the belief that it'll sell about 1,000 vehicles this year, Lucid expects to book $97 million on the top line. But with production ramping up next year, management believes revenue will grow considerably and continue to do so for the next five years.\nIt expects the company to consistently generate a gross profit, averaging about 22% from 2023 through 2026. To put this in perspective, consider that over the past five years, Tesla has reported an average gross margin of 19.7%. Profitability on an EBITDA basis, on the other hand, isn't expected to occur until 2024. If Lucid meets its revenue and EBITDA forecasts in 2026, it'll generate an EBITDA margin of about 12.7%, comparable to the 13% EBITDA margin that Tesla has reported on a trailing-12-month basis.\nIn terms of cash flow, Lucid expects that it will allocate $1.9 billion for capital expenditures (capex) in 2023 -- the highest amount over the next five years -- presumably to prepare for the production of its SUV that's planned for that year. Over the next several years, capex spending is expected to taper off, ending with the company spending $573 million on capex in 2026. Consequently, Lucid projects generating $1.52 billion in free cash flow in 2026. If we assume (again) that the company meets its revenue forecast, it will translate to a free cash flow margin of 6.7%, the same margin that Tesla has reported over the past 12 months.\nLet's be clear about Lucid's prospects\nAfter taking a look at management's forecasts for the next five years, it's no wonder that investors are excited about Lucid's prospects. With management espousing such an auspicious view of the future, does this mean that EV investors should drive off with an investment and park the stock in their portfolios? Not quite.\nCompetition continues to ramp up with upstart EV manufacturers as well as legacy automakers that are shifting gears and committing to more EV-heavy product lineups. In addition, the company will surely face some bumps in the road over the next few years -- challenges that could result in the company failing to meet its growth projections. Additionally, the fact that management has supplied the projected financial figures is critical to note. The investing landscape is littered with companies that have provided ambitious earnings forecasts to drive investor enthusiasm yet who have failed to achieved their own guidance. Therefore, investors should be circumspect about taking managment's projections at face value, considering an investment with caution and weighting the risks accordingly.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":398,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":132471933,"gmtCreate":1622110986322,"gmtModify":1704179651185,"author":{"id":"3578868906408022","authorId":"3578868906408022","name":"DylanKua","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7a402f78c548fdf2746409dc81488d8c","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578868906408022","authorIdStr":"3578868906408022"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/132471933","repostId":"2138866145","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":490,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":130748537,"gmtCreate":1621569520429,"gmtModify":1704359843091,"author":{"id":"3578868906408022","authorId":"3578868906408022","name":"DylanKua","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7a402f78c548fdf2746409dc81488d8c","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578868906408022","authorIdStr":"3578868906408022"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good","listText":"Good","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/130748537","repostId":"1194977248","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1194977248","pubTimestamp":1621566816,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1194977248?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-21 11:13","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Now Is the Time to Buy Virgin Galactic","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1194977248","media":"fool","summary":"Warren Buffett says to be greedy when others are fearful, but that can be extremely hard to do in re","content":"<p>Warren Buffett says to be greedy when others are fearful, but that can be extremely hard to do in reality.

It's doing much worse than the <b>Invesco Solar ETF</b> (NYSEMKT:TAN), which is down around 30% so far in 2021.</p><p>Solar was <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> of the best performing industries in 2020. This year, the narrative has flipped as solar and other renewable stocks are facing a slew of competitors, supply chain issues, and the threat of higher interest rates.</p><p>Here's a look at why shares of Array Technologies tanked -- and where to go from here.</p><h2>A quick primer</h2><p>Before we begin, it's important to understand Array's role in the solar industry. If you follow the sector, you might be familiar with panel players like <b>First Solar</b>, inverter and power optimizer manufacturers like <b>SolarEdge</b>,&nbsp;or microinverter makers like <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ENPH\">Enphase Energy</a></b>. Array doesn't compete with any of these companies. Instead, it makes trackers that clamp onto solar panels. Its focus is on utility-scale projects, not residential customers.</p><p>These single-axis trackers adjust panels to optimize performance throughout the day. Over the years, Array has emerged as a leader in the tracking industry. The value proposition is simple: If its trackers can generate more energy for a lower price than the cost of setting up new panels, then they help customers save money.</p><h2>Why shares are plunging</h2><p>Array's sell-off has been swift and brutal, consisting of three key phases over the course of a few months.</p><h3>Phase 1: The sector decline</h3><p>After starting the year above $43 per share, Array quickly began sliding along with the broader solar industry. There were a number of factors that played into the sector's decline, but the big ones were lower earnings expectations, rising interest rates, more competition, and valuation concerns.</p><p>Higher interest rates in particular directly affect Array. They make it more expensive to borrow money, which in turn can lower the profitability of development projects. Array's customers tend to be engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) firms that bid for major solar projects. Fewer projects mean fewer bids, which in turn can lead to less business for Array.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://media.ycharts.com/charts/77bace4df750df160f613d218ddd411c.png\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"468\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>ARRY data by YCharts.</span></p><h3>Phase 2: The Oaktree Capital sale</h3><p>Shortly after Array reported its fourth-quarter and full-year 2020 results, Oaktree Capital, an early investor in Array Technologies and formerly <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the largest shareholders in the company, sold 35.48 million shares in March. Early investors selling shares tends to be a red flag. What made this sale particularly jarring was its size and valuation.</p><p>Oaktree's sale represented over a fourth of Array's stock float (the number of shares owned by the public). The shares were also sold for an average price of $28, which was below the price of Array stock at the time. A key stakeholder offloading its position for what was then a 52-week low isn't a good look. And sure enough, Array's share price came under more pressure.</p><h3>Phase 3: First-quarter earnings</h3><p>The final blow came last week when Array reported its first-quarter 2021 results. More important than the numbers themselves is the severity in which Array's supply chain is being impacted by higher costs for steel and ocean and truck shipping costs. The company's operating expenses and costs of goods sold (COGS) skyrocketed due to a global shortage in commodities that previously were somewhat stable. Steel accounted for around half of the company's first-quarter COGS.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://media.ycharts.com/charts/2a7bc7ecbe8307b6890bef19ce2b35e0.png\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"482\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>ARRY Cost of Goods Sold (Quarterly) data by YCharts.</span></p><p>Management reiterated in the earnings call that the solar industry as a whole is healthy and that many of the long-term growth drivers remain intact. But the increased cost of steel and other supply chain issues singlehandedly spoiled what could have been quite a profitable quarter.

It's doing much worse than the Invesco Solar ETF (NYSEMKT:TAN), which is down around 30% so far in 2021.Solar was one of the best performing industries in 2020. This year, the narrative has flipped as solar and other renewable stocks are facing a slew of competitors, supply chain issues, and the threat of higher interest rates.Here's a look at why shares of Array Technologies tanked -- and where to go from here.A quick primerBefore we begin, it's important to understand Array's role in the solar industry. If you follow the sector, you might be familiar with panel players like First Solar, inverter and power optimizer manufacturers like SolarEdge, or microinverter makers like Enphase Energy. Array doesn't compete with any of these companies. Instead, it makes trackers that clamp onto solar panels. Its focus is on utility-scale projects, not residential customers.These single-axis trackers adjust panels to optimize performance throughout the day. Over the years, Array has emerged as a leader in the tracking industry. The value proposition is simple: If its trackers can generate more energy for a lower price than the cost of setting up new panels, then they help customers save money.Why shares are plungingArray's sell-off has been swift and brutal, consisting of three key phases over the course of a few months.Phase 1: The sector declineAfter starting the year above $43 per share, Array quickly began sliding along with the broader solar industry. There were a number of factors that played into the sector's decline, but the big ones were lower earnings expectations, rising interest rates, more competition, and valuation concerns.Higher interest rates in particular directly affect Array. They make it more expensive to borrow money, which in turn can lower the profitability of development projects. Array's customers tend to be engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) firms that bid for major solar projects. Fewer projects mean fewer bids, which in turn can lead to less business for Array.ARRY data by YCharts.Phase 2: The Oaktree Capital saleShortly after Array reported its fourth-quarter and full-year 2020 results, Oaktree Capital, an early investor in Array Technologies and formerly one of the largest shareholders in the company, sold 35.48 million shares in March. Early investors selling shares tends to be a red flag. What made this sale particularly jarring was its size and valuation.Oaktree's sale represented over a fourth of Array's stock float (the number of shares owned by the public). The shares were also sold for an average price of $28, which was below the price of Array stock at the time. A key stakeholder offloading its position for what was then a 52-week low isn't a good look. And sure enough, Array's share price came under more pressure.Phase 3: First-quarter earningsThe final blow came last week when Array reported its first-quarter 2021 results. More important than the numbers themselves is the severity in which Array's supply chain is being impacted by higher costs for steel and ocean and truck shipping costs. The company's operating expenses and costs of goods sold (COGS) skyrocketed due to a global shortage in commodities that previously were somewhat stable. Steel accounted for around half of the company's first-quarter COGS.ARRY Cost of Goods Sold (Quarterly) data by YCharts.Management reiterated in the earnings call that the solar industry as a whole is healthy and that many of the long-term growth drivers remain intact. But the increased cost of steel and other supply chain issues singlehandedly spoiled what could have been quite a profitable quarter. Instead, the company squeaked out a meek $2.9 million in net income. To make matters worse, management suspended its full-year guidance, hinted that second-quarter revenue and profitability could be even lower, and said it was too early to know when the business environment will normalize. It also said it wouldn't provide guidance until shipping and commodity costs become more predictable.What to do nowBefore the post-earnings plunge, Array looked like a good value based on its previously stated guidance -- which called for revenue in the range of $1.03 billion to $1.13 billion, adjusted EBITDA between $164 million and $180 million, and adjusted net income per share of $0.82 to $0.92. But with that guidance now off the table and profitability in question, Array's short-term prospects look bleak.There's no sugarcoating the fact that the company was blindsided by rapidly rising commodity prices. In response, Array has been scrambling to secure contracts with suppliers that will allow it to buy steel at a discount to the spot price It's also looking to raise prices and pass along some of the higher commodity costs to its customers.

However, much of the long-term thesis remains intact. Given its reduced share price, Array seems like a good turnaround play.
