In its second-quarter results, the company announced that it is testing 10-layer cells and progressing according to its plans.

But this stock must be on your watch list, even if you decide not to buy it right now.</p>\n<h2>ChargePoint Holdings</h2>\n<p>Another stock to potentially benefit from the growth in EVs is electric charging company <b>ChargePoint</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:CHPT). With more than 112,000 charging points in North America and Europe, ChargePoint is <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the biggest EV charging companies in the world.

It hopes to generate positive EBITDA in 2024. Though a well-functioning public charging network is essential for the growth of EVs, the model for development of this infrastructure is still evolving.

Others, such as <b>General Motors,</b> are partnering with several public EV charging companies, essentially suggesting that all chargers are basically the same.</p>\n<p>EV charging companies, in turn, are finding innovative ways to generate revenue while continuing to expand their infrastructure. This infrastructure, if properly developed and maintained, should surely be of value in the future. As a top player, ChargePoint could be better placed than others to benefit from the expected growth in EVs. You wouldn't want to miss watching how this company evolves over time.</p>\n<h2>Bloom Energy</h2>\n<p>Fuel cells have certainly attracted investors' attention lately. However, makers of proton-exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells, such as <b>Plug Power</b>, remain the primary focus. That's because PEM fuel cells find applications in the transport segment due to their quick start and stop times, as well as their lighter weight.</p>\n<p>However, another key area for fuel cells that doesn't get so much interest but is of great significance is stationary baseload generation and back-up power. <b>Bloom Energy</b> (NYSE:BE) is primarily focused on this segment. It is also expanding into carbon capture technologies, marine transport, and hydrogen fuel cells and electrolyzers. Overall, the company pegs its total addressable market at over $2 trillion.</p>\n<p>Bloom Energy fares better on key financial metrics compared to other fuel cell makers. In the last three years, the company has grown its revenue, shrank losses, and improved margins. Bloom Energy expects that its cash from operations will move toward positive territory for full-year 2021. It also expects to achieve non-GAAP operating margin of around 3% for the year.

If you've traded cryptocurrencies in the US, you have probably used or heard ofCoinbase. Now thatCoinbase is going public, should you invest in the company?</p><p>At first glance, this investment value proposition seemed compelling since the overall cryptocurrency industry is growing rapidly. However, I have found evidence of 2 fundamental risks toCoinbase's growth that could not justify its current valuation and could even undermine its future growth. Recentreportsmay also express agreement asCoinbase's IPO valuation dropped from $100bn to $68bn.</p><p><b>Fundamental Risks 1: The US Regulatory Landscape</b></p><p>The US regulatory landscape is not friendly to centralized exchanges in a way that massively dampenedCoinbase's competitive advantages, one of which is coin listings.</p><p>Coinbase has the 2nd smallest coin listings</p><p>Coin listing is one of the most crucial criteria for a trader/investor when choosing an exchange. Traders/investors require a large number of coin listings to speculate on small-cap altcoins for 10x-100x return. The more coins listed, the more opportunities and choices. I personally use several exchanges for this very reason other than unique features such as staking and etc. The 6 exchanges I use are Binance, Crypto.com, KuCoin, Bkex, PoloniEx, and MXC Pro.</p><p>Why do I use multiple exchanges? Let me illustrate via an example. KuCoin listed Orion(NYSE:ORN)in July 2020 at $1, about 2 months earlier than Binance in October 2020. I bought ORN through KuCoin on its first day at $1.1 and staked it at &gt;20% APY interest. When Binance announced it was listing ORN, its priced spiked upwards. On ORN's first trading day on Binance, ORN's price spiked up as high as $4++ (it is a common occurrence for a token to spike when it is listed in a new exchange). I redeemed my ORN from staking and sold it at $3.60. This transaction earned me more than 300% return. Therefore, the more coins listed, the more opportunities I'll have to replicate this particular transaction to other small-cap altcoins.</p><p>SinceCoinbase's coin listing is small, traders/investors like myself will find it difficult to find these kinds of opportunities. Furthermore, many of the largest-cap coins are not listed onCoinbase. This is one of the main reasons why I did not useCoinbase; I theorize that many traders/investors like myself feel that way. (Let me know in the comments.)</p><p>In a recent lawsuit, a man claiming to beCoinbase's client capitalized on the legal battle between Ripple Labs’ battle and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), suedCoinbase for selling XRP tokens and sought compensations and other relief. According to CoinMarketCap.com, XRP is no longer listed onCoinbase.

If you've traded cryptocurrencies in the US, you have probably used or heard ofCoinbase. Now thatCoinbase is going public, should you invest in the company?At first glance, this investment value proposition seemed compelling since the overall cryptocurrency industry is growing rapidly. However, I have found evidence of 2 fundamental risks toCoinbase's growth that could not justify its current valuation and could even undermine its future growth. Recentreportsmay also express agreement asCoinbase's IPO valuation dropped from $100bn to $68bn.Fundamental Risks 1: The US Regulatory LandscapeThe US regulatory landscape is not friendly to centralized exchanges in a way that massively dampenedCoinbase's competitive advantages, one of which is coin listings.Coinbase has the 2nd smallest coin listingsCoin listing is one of the most crucial criteria for a trader/investor when choosing an exchange. Traders/investors require a large number of coin listings to speculate on small-cap altcoins for 10x-100x return. The more coins listed, the more opportunities and choices. I personally use several exchanges for this very reason other than unique features such as staking and etc. The 6 exchanges I use are Binance, Crypto.com, KuCoin, Bkex, PoloniEx, and MXC Pro.Why do I use multiple exchanges? Let me illustrate via an example. KuCoin listed Orion(NYSE:ORN)in July 2020 at $1, about 2 months earlier than Binance in October 2020. I bought ORN through KuCoin on its first day at $1.1 and staked it at >20% APY interest. When Binance announced it was listing ORN, its priced spiked upwards. On ORN's first trading day on Binance, ORN's price spiked up as high as $4++ (it is a common occurrence for a token to spike when it is listed in a new exchange). I redeemed my ORN from staking and sold it at $3.60. This transaction earned me more than 300% return. Therefore, the more coins listed, the more opportunities I'll have to replicate this particular transaction to other small-cap altcoins.SinceCoinbase's coin listing is small, traders/investors like myself will find it difficult to find these kinds of opportunities. Furthermore, many of the largest-cap coins are not listed onCoinbase. This is one of the main reasons why I did not useCoinbase; I theorize that many traders/investors like myself feel that way. (Let me know in the comments.)In a recent lawsuit, a man claiming to beCoinbase's client capitalized on the legal battle between Ripple Labs’ battle and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), suedCoinbase for selling XRP tokens and sought compensations and other relief. According to CoinMarketCap.com, XRP is no longer listed onCoinbase. However, it is listed on more than500 other centralized exchanges(excluding decentralized exchanges) that are much smaller thanCoinbase outside the US.XRP is the 7th biggest cryptocurrency by market cap as of the time of writing.

If you've traded cryptocurrencies in the US, you have probably used or heard ofCoinbase. Now thatCoinbase is going public, should you invest in the company?At first glance, this investment value proposition seemed compelling since the overall cryptocurrency industry is growing rapidly. However, I have found evidence of 2 fundamental risks toCoinbase's growth that could not justify its current valuation and could even undermine its future growth. Recentreportsmay also express agreement asCoinbase's IPO valuation dropped from $100bn to $68bn.Fundamental Risks 1: The US Regulatory LandscapeThe US regulatory landscape is not friendly to centralized exchanges in a way that massively dampenedCoinbase's competitive advantages, one of which is coin listings.Coinbase has the 2nd smallest coin listingsCoin listing is one of the most crucial criteria for a trader/investor when choosing an exchange. Traders/investors require a large number of coin listings to speculate on small-cap altcoins for 10x-100x return. The more coins listed, the more opportunities and choices. I personally use several exchanges for this very reason other than unique features such as staking and etc. The 6 exchanges I use are Binance, Crypto.com, KuCoin, Bkex, PoloniEx, and MXC Pro.Why do I use multiple exchanges? Let me illustrate via an example. KuCoin listed Orion(NYSE:ORN)in July 2020 at $1, about 2 months earlier than Binance in October 2020. I bought ORN through KuCoin on its first day at $1.1 and staked it at >20% APY interest. When Binance announced it was listing ORN, its priced spiked upwards. On ORN's first trading day on Binance, ORN's price spiked up as high as $4++ (it is a common occurrence for a token to spike when it is listed in a new exchange). I redeemed my ORN from staking and sold it at $3.60. This transaction earned me more than 300% return. Therefore, the more coins listed, the more opportunities I'll have to replicate this particular transaction to other small-cap altcoins.SinceCoinbase's coin listing is small, traders/investors like myself will find it difficult to find these kinds of opportunities. Furthermore, many of the largest-cap coins are not listed onCoinbase. This is one of the main reasons why I did not useCoinbase; I theorize that many traders/investors like myself feel that way. (Let me know in the comments.)In a recent lawsuit, a man claiming to beCoinbase's client capitalized on the legal battle between Ripple Labs’ battle and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), suedCoinbase for selling XRP tokens and sought compensations and other relief. According to CoinMarketCap.com, XRP is no longer listed onCoinbase. However, it is listed on more than500 other centralized exchanges(excluding decentralized exchanges) that are much smaller thanCoinbase outside the US.XRP is the 7th biggest cryptocurrency by market cap as of the time of writing. Many other top cryptocurrencies are also not found onCoinbase, such as BNB (ranked 3rd), ADA (ranked 4th), DOT (ranked 6th). Amongthe 10 highest-rated centralized exchanges(refer to Table 1), only Bitstamp (18) offers fewer cryptocurrencies thanCoinbase (49), while the market leader (Binance) ledCoinbase by 700% in coin listings.Since regulation can directly affect coin listings, a competitive advantage of an exchange,Coinbase already faces overwhelming challenges to compete on this front alone.Table 1: Top 10 Spot Exchange Ranked by CoinMarketCap Ratings.Source: Table created by Author fromCoinMarketCapOther Regulatory RisksRegulatory risks extend beyond coin listings and the US.Coinbase offers its services to52 countries. If any of the 52 countries ban crypto assets, its revenue would be adversely affected. It is not uncommon for centralized exchanges to relocate to another country due to regulations. While India isplotting a move to ban cryptocurrencies, many exchanges apply forlicenses to move out from India.Statistically speaking, 108 exchangesshut downin 2020, compared to 81 in 2019. At least 3 are shut down by government(s) in 2020, and at least 2 in 2019.Although it seems unlikely for the US to follow China's and India's footsteps to drastically ban crypto-assets now, regulatory risks remain major risks toCoinbase.Fundamental Risk 2: Losing a Winner-Takes-All MarketThere are 2 types of crypto exchanges: centralized and decentralized. Both have pros and cons. The best known centralized exchange is Binance, while the best known decentralized exchange is Uniswap. Although centralized exchanges may require a license by a governing body, decentralized exchanges might not, as decentralized exchanges can have avarying degree of centralized components. Both centralized and decentralized exchanges have their respective roles in the crypto ecosystem, hence I think that both are here to stay.Many of the decentralized exchange source codes are open source (full listshere). In other words, virtually anyone can develop and host a decentralized exchange. This implies a shallow barrier to entry. Uniswap is the market leader in the decentralized exchange space. Itrecordedmore than $58bn volume in 2020, up 15,000% from 2019. Note that Uniswap wasfirst launchedin November 2018, compared toCoinbase in 2012.On the other hand, Binance, the market leader in the centralized exchange space, recorded a total of$1.417 trillion spot trading volume in 2020, an increase of 36% from 2019. This figure does not even include other trading volumes, such as options, futures, margin, and other services, which amounted to $1.7 trillion, a 2800% increase from 2019.In comparison,Coinbase only recorded $445bn total trading volume in 2020, a 39% increase in 2019. This is evidence that the market leader is pulling away, implying a winner-takes-all market. This becomes evident by referring to Table 1, where the market leader has more than 10 times the trading value than the 2nd place (Coinbase).Furthermore, many traditional financial, non-financial international corporations and fintech companies are also participating in the competition. One of the latest addition is ApplePay.ApplePaynow has official support for cryptocurrencies, with GooglePay and SamsungPay to follow suit. Other note-worthy companies include Square, Paypal, and Visa.In my opinion,Coinbase looks to be on the losing side if this market is indeed a winner-takes-all market. Further,Coinbase could be losing market more market share as more competition arises.Source:BusinessofAppsValuationThe tables below showed thatCoinbase's profit margin is healthy at 28% in 2020.

We highlighted some major factors that separate FacebookInc. (FB) from the rest and suggest you check it out. Although we performed a relative valuation for all six companies in that article, we wanted to write a follow-up to calculate the intrinsic value of Facebook. Facebook is currently undervalued using projections that are based purely on fundamental factors.</p>\n<p><b>Valuation</b></p>\n<p>To value Facebook, we will first need to determine three things:</p>\n<ol>\n <li>Reinvestment rate</li>\n <li>Revenue-to-capital ratio</li>\n <li>Incremental revenue to capital</li>\n</ol>\n<p>For Facebook, the reinvestment rate will be the sum of research and development, marketing, capital expenditures, and change in net working capital, subtracted by depreciation and amortization. We subtract D&amp;A because it is considered maintenance capex which doesn't contribute to growth.</p>\n<p>Next, we will calculate both the revenue-to-capital ratio and the incremental revenue-to-capital ratio. The former measures how much revenue the company can generate for each dollar invested. The latter measures the same thing except it focuses on the new revenue generated by new investments.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c301a8c6593bdb466b41eeedad77431d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"79\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Author</span></p>\n<p>As you can see, Facebook's revenue to capital has been trending upwards. This is because newer investments have been performing better than older ones. For our calculations, we will use the most recent numbers for the next twelve-month calculations. For calculations that are beyond, we use the 5-year averages of both which are 67.99% (revenue to capital) and 80.18% (incremental revenue to capital).</p>\n<p>Our projections estimate revenue growth rate by multiplying reinvestment rate as a percentage of revenue by the revenue-to-capital ratio. The results are as follows:</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/68b34dd807013a1cdb07092d7820d86c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"490\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9927f1942fffea9ca8efb85933816f54\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"171\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Author</span></p>\n<p><b>Forecast Assumptions For Above Image</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>Gross profit leverage averaged 0.93 in the past several years.</li>\n <li>For operating leverage, we took the median number from the past 5 years (1.18) and used it for 2022.

As you can see, with a risk-free rate of 1.37%, beta of 1.05 and an equity risk premium of 4.72%, the current discount rate is 6.33%. As a result, Facebook's valuation is approximately $1,205 per share under current conditions.</p>\n<p>Since discount rates are always changing, we made the following chart to demonstrate how the valuation changes under different conditions.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a5c7f7656217a04716ef93115a25cf78\" tg-width=\"534\" tg-height=\"269\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>Therefore, as an investor, it's up to you to decide which discount rate to use based on your methodology.

We highlighted some major factors that separate FacebookInc. (FB) from the rest and suggest you check it out. Although we performed a relative valuation for all six companies in that article, we wanted to write a follow-up to calculate the intrinsic value of Facebook. Facebook is currently undervalued using projections that are based purely on fundamental factors.\nValuation\nTo value Facebook, we will first need to determine three things:\n\nReinvestment rate\nRevenue-to-capital ratio\nIncremental revenue to capital\n\nFor Facebook, the reinvestment rate will be the sum of research and development, marketing, capital expenditures, and change in net working capital, subtracted by depreciation and amortization. We subtract D&A because it is considered maintenance capex which doesn't contribute to growth.\nNext, we will calculate both the revenue-to-capital ratio and the incremental revenue-to-capital ratio. The former measures how much revenue the company can generate for each dollar invested. The latter measures the same thing except it focuses on the new revenue generated by new investments.\nSource: Author\nAs you can see, Facebook's revenue to capital has been trending upwards. This is because newer investments have been performing better than older ones. For our calculations, we will use the most recent numbers for the next twelve-month calculations. For calculations that are beyond, we use the 5-year averages of both which are 67.99% (revenue to capital) and 80.18% (incremental revenue to capital).\nOur projections estimate revenue growth rate by multiplying reinvestment rate as a percentage of revenue by the revenue-to-capital ratio. The results are as follows:\n\nSource: Author\nForecast Assumptions For Above Image\n\nGross profit leverage averaged 0.93 in the past several years.\nFor operating leverage, we took the median number from the past 5 years (1.18) and used it for 2022. We reduced this ratio over time.\nSet all the margins under \"supporting calculations\" to their historical averages.\n\nPlugging these numbers into a discounted cash flow, we get the following result:\nSource: Author\nSince Facebook has no interest-bearing debt, we set the cost and weight of debt to zero. As you can see, with a risk-free rate of 1.37%, beta of 1.05 and an equity risk premium of 4.72%, the current discount rate is 6.33%. As a result, Facebook's valuation is approximately $1,205 per share under current conditions.\nSince discount rates are always changing, we made the following chart to demonstrate how the valuation changes under different conditions.\n\nTherefore, as an investor, it's up to you to decide which discount rate to use based on your methodology. We prefer using dynamic discount rates that change with the market. Using this approach explains why stocks continue to rise even though many believe we are in bubble territory. If market conditions can justify higher valuations, then that's where the prices will go. Nonetheless, there is a solid margin of safety with Facebook being undervalued even after substantial increases in discount rates.\nRisks\nThere are 2 main risks we see with Facebook. The first is based on discount rates which we touched on in our previous section. A dramatic increase in the risk-free rate or equity risk premium or both would lower the company's intrinsic value. Therefore, investors need to monitor those metrics carefully should they choose to use a dynamic discount rate as we do.\nThe second risk might be some form of government intervention that forces the company to divest its stake in Instagram or What's App. However, we believe that would actually benefit shareholders because it would allow the market to fully value those entities on their own.
