Disrupters Are Driving the Car Market

Kiplinger2021-05-26

When I was 9, my grandfather gave me a present: my first share of stock. It was a gorgeous, embossed certificate issued by the Ford Motor (F), which had just gone public on January 18, 1956, at $64.50...

It was a gorgeous, embossed certificate issued by the Ford Motor (F), which had just gone public on January 18, 1956, at $64.50 a share.In 1988, I decided to sell my share, which after splits had become many shares worth $828. Selling at the time turned out to be a good idea. Ford shares peaked in 1999.But don’t count Ford out. The drop in revenues from the pandemic was not as bad as expected, and over the past 12 months, the stock has returned 143%; General Motors (GM) has returned 162%.Ford and GM, two stodgy companies that have been selling pretty much the same product for more than a century, have felt the shock of an earthshaking disruption of their industry. It's a case of respond or die, and the two companies have responded, though a bit late.Disruptive innovation is a term coined in 1995 by Harvard Business School professor Clayton Christensen. Most people use the shorthand disruption to mean a general shake-up in an industry. But Christensen, who died last year, had a more precise definition: \"a process whereby a smaller company with fewer resources is able to successfully challenge established incumbent businesses.\"While the incumbents are focused on gradually improving their products to satisfy traditional customers, disrupters target \"overlooked segments, gaining a foothold,\" Christensen wrote.Incumbents ignore disrupters because those segments are small or unprofitable. The disrupters then expand their offerings, \"delivering the performance that incumbents' mainstream customers require, while preserving the advantages that drove their early success.\" When mainstream customers start adopting the disrupters' products \"in volume,\" you've got real disruption.Tesla: A Model DisrupterA model disrupter. An upstart called Tesla Motors, now just Tesla (TSLA), fits the Christensen model. The company was launched in 2003, released its first plug-in electric car five years later, and went public two years after that. Elon Musk took his earnings as cofounder of PayPal Holdings (PYPL) and became an early investor in Tesla; in 2008, he became CEO.In 2015, when Christensen’s article from which I'm quoting appeared in the Harvard Business Review, Tesla had two models and it sold 50,000 cars. Sales doubled in two years and reached 500,000 in 2020; this year, the forecast is 800,000 vehicles.Tesla is by far the largest global electric vehicle maker, manufacturing four models, including one with a list price of only $40,120. It's working on a beautiful long-haul truck. Holding Tesla back from even more sales this year is a pandemic-induced shortage of microchips, which should be temporary.The incumbents have responded. Last year, Ford said it would invest $11.5 billion in electric vehicles through 2022, producing a zero-emissions Mustang and F-150 truck. In January, GM announced it would phase out petroleum-fueled vehicles and sell only cars and trucks that produce zero emissions.I was not a Tesla believer years ago, but I am now. Tesla is still small ($32 billion in revenues last year, compared with GM's $122 billion) and unprofitable. An investment in Bitcoin and sales of regulatory credits to internal-combustion-engine carmakers saved Tesla from showing a loss in the most recent quarter.Stocks, however, are priced according to expectations, not history, and Tesla's future looks spectacular. In late 2019, Teslas started rolling out of a $2 billion factory in Shanghai, and in April the company announced a $1 billion factory in Austin, Texas.Musk forecasts that Tesla's U.S. market share will rise from 2% today to 10% in 2025, and analysts at Morgan Stanley project that the company's manufacturing capacity will reach 5.5 million vehicles by 2030. That compares favorably with GM's 6.8 million in 2020.Tesla's stock price has become more attractive lately, dropping more than 20% from its January peak, partly because of the chip shortage. Its market capitalization (shares outstanding times price) is $647 billion, or nearly twice as much as GM, Ford and Toyota Motor (TM) combined. In fact, Tesla is the seventh-largest U.S. company by market cap, after five tech giants and Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B); it's bigger than Walmart (WMT) and JPMorgan Chase (JPM).Is this crazy?I don't think so. The global auto market is estimated to grow to $9 trillion by 2030.11 More Automotive InnovatorsTech is the ignition. Tesla is not the only vehicle disrupter. Technology is front and center in the sector. Small, innovative companies abound, most of them still private. But there are good stocks to buy. One of the largest is the dominant ride-hailing company, Uber (UBER), with a market cap of about $90 billion.SOURCE: MorningstarVeoneer (VNE) is a Swedish company that makes automobile-mounted cameras, systems that assist night driving and other navigation electronics. Sales were hit last year by the pandemic, and the stock trades at less than half its 2018 high.Another attractive Swedish firm, Autoliv (ALV), makes auto-safety systems for the global auto industry. Autoliv has been consistently profitable, with a stock that's up by more than half this year. Aptiv (APTV), an Irish maker of sophisticated vehicle electronics, is also highly profitable, with a $38 billion market cap.Another company with substantial sales and earnings and a commitment to EVs is BYD (BYDDY), based in Shenzhen, China, with a market cap of $60 billion. BYD (an acronym for “Build Your Dreams”) started as a battery maker and now manufactures electric and internal-combustion vehicles; some of its EVs sell for as little as $9,000. Nearly all of Shenzhen’s 20,000 taxis are BYDs. Part of the appeal of BYD: The stock is down 46% since February, despite consistently rising revenues.China is the largest market for EVs, with 1.2 million sales last year. Two other Chinese manufacturers to note are Li Auto (LI), whose niche is SUVs, and the larger XPeng (XPEV), which makes SUVs and a four-door sport sedan; Xpeng is also in the ride-hailing business. Both stocks are well priced, having fallen by half in less than six months.More risky but worth consideration are some early-stage auto-tech firms. Luminar Technologies (LAZR) makes sensors and software that enable autonomous driving. Luminar had only $14 million in sales last year, but its prospects have earned it a market cap of $7 billion.QuantumScape (QS) is a lithium-ion battery maker with no sales in 2020 but a market cap of $12 billion. Beam Global (BEEM), with a market cap of just $276 million, specializes in clean-energy charging equipment for EVs; one of its products uses solar power.If you prefer a traditional automaker stock, my top choice is Volkswagen (VWAGY), with a dozen brands from seven European countries, including Audi, Bentley and Porsche, plus the truck and bus companies Scania and MAN. VW sold only half as many EVs as Tesla last year, but the demand in Europe is intense, as it will soon be in the U.S.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":null,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":136454153,"gmtCreate":1622037176972,"gmtModify":1704178278984,"author":{"id":"3571893886885807","authorId":"3571893886885807","name":"jaswsf","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ed600b3aaba5cb409e893412ae0ee2a9","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"&nbsp;Oh really&nbsp;","listText":"&nbsp;Oh really&nbsp;","text":"Oh really","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/136454153","repostId":2138117769,"repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2138117769","pubTimestamp":1622033700,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2138117769?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-05-26 20:55","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Disrupters Are Driving the Car Market","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2138117769","media":"Kiplinger","summary":"When I was 9, my grandfather gave me a present: my first share of stock.

It was a gorgeous, embossed certificate issued by the Ford Motor (F), which had just gone public on January 18, 1956, at $64.50 a share.In 1988, I decided to sell my share, which after splits had become many shares worth $828. Selling at the time turned out to be a good idea. Ford shares peaked in 1999.But don’t count Ford out. The drop in revenues from the pandemic was not as bad as expected, and over the past 12 months, the stock has returned 143%; General Motors (GM) has returned 162%.Ford and GM, two stodgy companies that have been selling pretty much the same product for more than a century, have felt the shock of an earthshaking disruption of their industry. It's a case of respond or die, and the two companies have responded, though a bit late.Disruptive innovation is a term coined in 1995 by Harvard Business School professor Clayton Christensen. Most people use the shorthand disruption to mean a general shake-up in an industry. But Christensen, who died last year, had a more precise definition: \"a process whereby a smaller company with fewer resources is able to successfully challenge established incumbent businesses.\"While the incumbents are focused on gradually improving their products to satisfy traditional customers, disrupters target \"overlooked segments, gaining a foothold,\" Christensen wrote.Incumbents ignore disrupters because those segments are small or unprofitable. The disrupters then expand their offerings, \"delivering the performance that incumbents' mainstream customers require, while preserving the advantages that drove their early success.\" When mainstream customers start adopting the disrupters' products \"in volume,\" you've got real disruption.Tesla: A Model DisrupterA model disrupter. An upstart called Tesla Motors, now just Tesla (TSLA), fits the Christensen model. The company was launched in 2003, released its first plug-in electric car five years later, and went public two years after that. Elon Musk took his earnings as cofounder of PayPal Holdings (PYPL) and became an early investor in Tesla; in 2008, he became CEO.In 2015, when Christensen’s article from which I'm quoting appeared in the Harvard Business Review, Tesla had two models and it sold 50,000 cars. Sales doubled in two years and reached 500,000 in 2020; this year, the forecast is 800,000 vehicles.Tesla is by far the largest global electric vehicle maker, manufacturing four models, including one with a list price of only $40,120. It's working on a beautiful long-haul truck. Holding Tesla back from even more sales this year is a pandemic-induced shortage of microchips, which should be temporary.The incumbents have responded. Last year, Ford said it would invest $11.5 billion in electric vehicles through 2022, producing a zero-emissions Mustang and F-150 truck. In January, GM announced it would phase out petroleum-fueled vehicles and sell only cars and trucks that produce zero emissions.I was not a Tesla believer years ago, but I am now. Tesla is still small ($32 billion in revenues last year, compared with GM's $122 billion) and unprofitable. An investment in Bitcoin and sales of regulatory credits to internal-combustion-engine carmakers saved Tesla from showing a loss in the most recent quarter.Stocks, however, are priced according to expectations, not history, and Tesla's future looks spectacular. In late 2019, Teslas started rolling out of a $2 billion factory in Shanghai, and in April the company announced a $1 billion factory in Austin, Texas.Musk forecasts that Tesla's U.S. market share will rise from 2% today to 10% in 2025, and analysts at Morgan Stanley project that the company's manufacturing capacity will reach 5.5 million vehicles by 2030. That compares favorably with GM's 6.8 million in 2020.Tesla's stock price has become more attractive lately, dropping more than 20% from its January peak, partly because of the chip shortage. Its market capitalization (shares outstanding times price) is $647 billion, or nearly twice as much as GM, Ford and Toyota Motor (TM) combined. In fact, Tesla is the seventh-largest U.S. company by market cap, after five tech giants and Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B); it's bigger than Walmart (WMT) and JPMorgan Chase (JPM).Is this crazy?I don't think so. The global auto market is estimated to grow to $9 trillion by 2030.11 More Automotive InnovatorsTech is the ignition. Tesla is not the only vehicle disrupter. Technology is front and center in the sector. Small, innovative companies abound, most of them still private. But there are good stocks to buy. One of the largest is the dominant ride-hailing company, Uber (UBER), with a market cap of about $90 billion.SOURCE: MorningstarVeoneer (VNE) is a Swedish company that makes automobile-mounted cameras, systems that assist night driving and other navigation electronics. Sales were hit last year by the pandemic, and the stock trades at less than half its 2018 high.Another attractive Swedish firm, Autoliv (ALV), makes auto-safety systems for the global auto industry. Autoliv has been consistently profitable, with a stock that's up by more than half this year. Aptiv (APTV), an Irish maker of sophisticated vehicle electronics, is also highly profitable, with a $38 billion market cap.Another company with substantial sales and earnings and a commitment to EVs is BYD (BYDDY), based in Shenzhen, China, with a market cap of $60 billion. BYD (an acronym for “Build Your Dreams”) started as a battery maker and now manufactures electric and internal-combustion vehicles; some of its EVs sell for as little as $9,000. Nearly all of Shenzhen’s 20,000 taxis are BYDs. Part of the appeal of BYD: The stock is down 46% since February, despite consistently rising revenues.China is the largest market for EVs, with 1.2 million sales last year. Two other Chinese manufacturers to note are Li Auto (LI), whose niche is SUVs, and the larger XPeng (XPEV), which makes SUVs and a four-door sport sedan; Xpeng is also in the ride-hailing business. Both stocks are well priced, having fallen by half in less than six months.More risky but worth consideration are some early-stage auto-tech firms. Luminar Technologies (LAZR) makes sensors and software that enable autonomous driving. Luminar had only $14 million in sales last year, but its prospects have earned it a market cap of $7 billion.QuantumScape (QS) is a lithium-ion battery maker with no sales in 2020 but a market cap of $12 billion. Beam Global (BEEM), with a market cap of just $276 million, specializes in clean-energy charging equipment for EVs; one of its products uses solar power.If you prefer a traditional automaker stock, my top choice is Volkswagen (VWAGY), with a dozen brands from seven European countries, including Audi, Bentley and Porsche, plus the truck and bus companies Scania and MAN.

It was a gorgeous, embossed certificate issued by the Ford Motor (F), which had just gone public on January 18, 1956, at $64.50 a share.In 1988, I decided to sell my share, which after splits had become many shares worth $828. Selling at the time turned out to be a good idea. Ford shares peaked in 1999.But don’t count Ford out. The drop in revenues from the pandemic was not as bad as expected, and over the past 12 months, the stock has returned 143%; General Motors (GM) has returned 162%.Ford and GM, two stodgy companies that have been selling pretty much the same product for more than a century, have felt the shock of an earthshaking disruption of their industry. It's a case of respond or die, and the two companies have responded, though a bit late.Disruptive innovation is a term coined in 1995 by Harvard Business School professor Clayton Christensen. Most people use the shorthand disruption to mean a general shake-up in an industry. But Christensen, who died last year, had a more precise definition: \"a process whereby a smaller company with fewer resources is able to successfully challenge established incumbent businesses.\"While the incumbents are focused on gradually improving their products to satisfy traditional customers, disrupters target \"overlooked segments, gaining a foothold,\" Christensen wrote.Incumbents ignore disrupters because those segments are small or unprofitable. The disrupters then expand their offerings, \"delivering the performance that incumbents' mainstream customers require, while preserving the advantages that drove their early success.\" When mainstream customers start adopting the disrupters' products \"in volume,\" you've got real disruption.Tesla: A Model DisrupterA model disrupter. An upstart called Tesla Motors, now just Tesla (TSLA), fits the Christensen model. The company was launched in 2003, released its first plug-in electric car five years later, and went public two years after that. Elon Musk took his earnings as cofounder of PayPal Holdings (PYPL) and became an early investor in Tesla; in 2008, he became CEO.In 2015, when Christensen’s article from which I'm quoting appeared in the Harvard Business Review, Tesla had two models and it sold 50,000 cars. Sales doubled in two years and reached 500,000 in 2020; this year, the forecast is 800,000 vehicles.Tesla is by far the largest global electric vehicle maker, manufacturing four models, including one with a list price of only $40,120. It's working on a beautiful long-haul truck. Holding Tesla back from even more sales this year is a pandemic-induced shortage of microchips, which should be temporary.The incumbents have responded. Last year, Ford said it would invest $11.5 billion in electric vehicles through 2022, producing a zero-emissions Mustang and F-150 truck. In January, GM announced it would phase out petroleum-fueled vehicles and sell only cars and trucks that produce zero emissions.I was not a Tesla believer years ago, but I am now. Tesla is still small ($32 billion in revenues last year, compared with GM's $122 billion) and unprofitable. An investment in Bitcoin and sales of regulatory credits to internal-combustion-engine carmakers saved Tesla from showing a loss in the most recent quarter.Stocks, however, are priced according to expectations, not history, and Tesla's future looks spectacular. In late 2019, Teslas started rolling out of a $2 billion factory in Shanghai, and in April the company announced a $1 billion factory in Austin, Texas.Musk forecasts that Tesla's U.S. market share will rise from 2% today to 10% in 2025, and analysts at Morgan Stanley project that the company's manufacturing capacity will reach 5.5 million vehicles by 2030. That compares favorably with GM's 6.8 million in 2020.Tesla's stock price has become more attractive lately, dropping more than 20% from its January peak, partly because of the chip shortage. Its market capitalization (shares outstanding times price) is $647 billion, or nearly twice as much as GM, Ford and Toyota Motor (TM) combined. In fact, Tesla is the seventh-largest U.S. company by market cap, after five tech giants and Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B); it's bigger than Walmart (WMT) and JPMorgan Chase (JPM).Is this crazy?I don't think so. The global auto market is estimated to grow to $9 trillion by 2030.11 More Automotive InnovatorsTech is the ignition. Tesla is not the only vehicle disrupter. Technology is front and center in the sector. Small, innovative companies abound, most of them still private. But there are good stocks to buy. One of the largest is the dominant ride-hailing company, Uber (UBER), with a market cap of about $90 billion.SOURCE: MorningstarVeoneer (VNE) is a Swedish company that makes automobile-mounted cameras, systems that assist night driving and other navigation electronics. Sales were hit last year by the pandemic, and the stock trades at less than half its 2018 high.Another attractive Swedish firm, Autoliv (ALV), makes auto-safety systems for the global auto industry. Autoliv has been consistently profitable, with a stock that's up by more than half this year. Aptiv (APTV), an Irish maker of sophisticated vehicle electronics, is also highly profitable, with a $38 billion market cap.Another company with substantial sales and earnings and a commitment to EVs is BYD (BYDDY), based in Shenzhen, China, with a market cap of $60 billion. BYD (an acronym for “Build Your Dreams”) started as a battery maker and now manufactures electric and internal-combustion vehicles; some of its EVs sell for as little as $9,000. Nearly all of Shenzhen’s 20,000 taxis are BYDs. Part of the appeal of BYD: The stock is down 46% since February, despite consistently rising revenues.China is the largest market for EVs, with 1.2 million sales last year. Two other Chinese manufacturers to note are Li Auto (LI), whose niche is SUVs, and the larger XPeng (XPEV), which makes SUVs and a four-door sport sedan; Xpeng is also in the ride-hailing business. Both stocks are well priced, having fallen by half in less than six months.More risky but worth consideration are some early-stage auto-tech firms. Luminar Technologies (LAZR) makes sensors and software that enable autonomous driving. Luminar had only $14 million in sales last year, but its prospects have earned it a market cap of $7 billion.QuantumScape (QS) is a lithium-ion battery maker with no sales in 2020 but a market cap of $12 billion. Beam Global (BEEM), with a market cap of just $276 million, specializes in clean-energy charging equipment for EVs; one of its products uses solar power.If you prefer a traditional automaker stock, my top choice is Volkswagen (VWAGY), with a dozen brands from seven European countries, including Audi, Bentley and Porsche, plus the truck and bus companies Scania and MAN.

Selling at the time turned out to be a good idea. Ford shares peaked in 1999.But don’t count Ford out. The drop in revenues from the pandemic was not as bad as expected, and over the past 12 months, the stock has returned 143%; General Motors (GM) has returned 162%.Ford and GM, two stodgy companies that have been selling pretty much the same product for more than a century, have felt the shock of an earthshaking disruption of their industry. It's a case of respond or die, and the two companies have responded, though a bit late.Disruptive innovation is a term coined in 1995 by Harvard Business School professor Clayton Christensen. Most people use the shorthand disruption to mean a general shake-up in an industry. But Christensen, who died last year, had a more precise definition: \"a process whereby a smaller company with fewer resources is able to successfully challenge established incumbent businesses.\"While the incumbents are focused on gradually improving their products to satisfy traditional customers, disrupters target \"overlooked segments, gaining a foothold,\" Christensen wrote.Incumbents ignore disrupters because those segments are small or unprofitable. The disrupters then expand their offerings, \"delivering the performance that incumbents' mainstream customers require, while preserving the advantages that drove their early success.\" When mainstream customers start adopting the disrupters' products \"in volume,\" you've got real disruption.Tesla: A Model DisrupterA model disrupter. An upstart called Tesla Motors, now just Tesla (TSLA), fits the Christensen model. The company was launched in 2003, released its first plug-in electric car five years later, and went public two years after that. Elon Musk took his earnings as cofounder of PayPal Holdings (PYPL) and became an early investor in Tesla; in 2008, he became CEO.In 2015, when Christensen’s article from which I'm quoting appeared in the Harvard Business Review, Tesla had two models and it sold 50,000 cars. Sales doubled in two years and reached 500,000 in 2020; this year, the forecast is 800,000 vehicles.Tesla is by far the largest global electric vehicle maker, manufacturing four models, including one with a list price of only $40,120. It's working on a beautiful long-haul truck. Holding Tesla back from even more sales this year is a pandemic-induced shortage of microchips, which should be temporary.The incumbents have responded. Last year, Ford said it would invest $11.5 billion in electric vehicles through 2022, producing a zero-emissions Mustang and F-150 truck. In January, GM announced it would phase out petroleum-fueled vehicles and sell only cars and trucks that produce zero emissions.I was not a Tesla believer years ago, but I am now. Tesla is still small ($32 billion in revenues last year, compared with GM's $122 billion) and unprofitable. An investment in Bitcoin and sales of regulatory credits to internal-combustion-engine carmakers saved Tesla from showing a loss in the most recent quarter.Stocks, however, are priced according to expectations, not history, and Tesla's future looks spectacular. In late 2019, Teslas started rolling out of a $2 billion factory in Shanghai, and in April the company announced a $1 billion factory in Austin, Texas.Musk forecasts that Tesla's U.S. market share will rise from 2% today to 10% in 2025, and analysts at Morgan Stanley project that the company's manufacturing capacity will reach 5.5 million vehicles by 2030. That compares favorably with GM's 6.8 million in 2020.Tesla's stock price has become more attractive lately, dropping more than 20% from its January peak, partly because of the chip shortage. Its market capitalization (shares outstanding times price) is $647 billion, or nearly twice as much as GM, Ford and Toyota Motor (TM) combined. In fact, Tesla is the seventh-largest U.S. company by market cap, after five tech giants and Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B); it's bigger than Walmart (WMT) and JPMorgan Chase (JPM).Is this crazy?I don't think so. The global auto market is estimated to grow to $9 trillion by 2030.11 More Automotive InnovatorsTech is the ignition. Tesla is not the only vehicle disrupter. Technology is front and center in the sector. Small, innovative companies abound, most of them still private. But there are good stocks to buy.

It was a gorgeous, embossed certificate issued by the Ford Motor (F), which had just gone public on January 18, 1956, at $64.50 a share.In 1988, I decided to sell my share, which after splits had become many shares worth $828. Selling at the time turned out to be a good idea. Ford shares peaked in 1999.But don’t count Ford out. The drop in revenues from the pandemic was not as bad as expected, and over the past 12 months, the stock has returned 143%; General Motors (GM) has returned 162%.Ford and GM, two stodgy companies that have been selling pretty much the same product for more than a century, have felt the shock of an earthshaking disruption of their industry. It's a case of respond or die, and the two companies have responded, though a bit late.Disruptive innovation is a term coined in 1995 by Harvard Business School professor Clayton Christensen. Most people use the shorthand disruption to mean a general shake-up in an industry. But Christensen, who died last year, had a more precise definition: \"a process whereby a smaller company with fewer resources is able to successfully challenge established incumbent businesses.\"While the incumbents are focused on gradually improving their products to satisfy traditional customers, disrupters target \"overlooked segments, gaining a foothold,\" Christensen wrote.Incumbents ignore disrupters because those segments are small or unprofitable. The disrupters then expand their offerings, \"delivering the performance that incumbents' mainstream customers require, while preserving the advantages that drove their early success.\" When mainstream customers start adopting the disrupters' products \"in volume,\" you've got real disruption.Tesla: A Model DisrupterA model disrupter. An upstart called Tesla Motors, now just Tesla (TSLA), fits the Christensen model. The company was launched in 2003, released its first plug-in electric car five years later, and went public two years after that. Elon Musk took his earnings as cofounder of PayPal Holdings (PYPL) and became an early investor in Tesla; in 2008, he became CEO.In 2015, when Christensen’s article from which I'm quoting appeared in the Harvard Business Review, Tesla had two models and it sold 50,000 cars. Sales doubled in two years and reached 500,000 in 2020; this year, the forecast is 800,000 vehicles.Tesla is by far the largest global electric vehicle maker, manufacturing four models, including one with a list price of only $40,120. It's working on a beautiful long-haul truck. Holding Tesla back from even more sales this year is a pandemic-induced shortage of microchips, which should be temporary.The incumbents have responded. Last year, Ford said it would invest $11.5 billion in electric vehicles through 2022, producing a zero-emissions Mustang and F-150 truck. In January, GM announced it would phase out petroleum-fueled vehicles and sell only cars and trucks that produce zero emissions.I was not a Tesla believer years ago, but I am now. Tesla is still small ($32 billion in revenues last year, compared with GM's $122 billion) and unprofitable. An investment in Bitcoin and sales of regulatory credits to internal-combustion-engine carmakers saved Tesla from showing a loss in the most recent quarter.Stocks, however, are priced according to expectations, not history, and Tesla's future looks spectacular. In late 2019, Teslas started rolling out of a $2 billion factory in Shanghai, and in April the company announced a $1 billion factory in Austin, Texas.Musk forecasts that Tesla's U.S. market share will rise from 2% today to 10% in 2025, and analysts at Morgan Stanley project that the company's manufacturing capacity will reach 5.5 million vehicles by 2030. That compares favorably with GM's 6.8 million in 2020.Tesla's stock price has become more attractive lately, dropping more than 20% from its January peak, partly because of the chip shortage. Its market capitalization (shares outstanding times price) is $647 billion, or nearly twice as much as GM, Ford and Toyota Motor (TM) combined. In fact, Tesla is the seventh-largest U.S. company by market cap, after five tech giants and Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B); it's bigger than Walmart (WMT) and JPMorgan Chase (JPM).Is this crazy?I don't think so. The global auto market is estimated to grow to $9 trillion by 2030.11 More Automotive InnovatorsTech is the ignition. Tesla is not the only vehicle disrupter. Technology is front and center in the sector. Small, innovative companies abound, most of them still private. But there are good stocks to buy. One of the largest is the dominant ride-hailing company, Uber (UBER), with a market cap of about $90 billion.SOURCE: MorningstarVeoneer (VNE) is a Swedish company that makes automobile-mounted cameras, systems that assist night driving and other navigation electronics.

It was a gorgeous, embossed certificate issued by the Ford Motor (F), which had just gone public on January 18, 1956, at $64.50 a share.In 1988, I decided to sell my share, which after splits had become many shares worth $828. Selling at the time turned out to be a good idea. Ford shares peaked in 1999.But don’t count Ford out. The drop in revenues from the pandemic was not as bad as expected, and over the past 12 months, the stock has returned 143%; General Motors (GM) has returned 162%.Ford and GM, two stodgy companies that have been selling pretty much the same product for more than a century, have felt the shock of an earthshaking disruption of their industry. It's a case of respond or die, and the two companies have responded, though a bit late.Disruptive innovation is a term coined in 1995 by Harvard Business School professor Clayton Christensen. Most people use the shorthand disruption to mean a general shake-up in an industry. But Christensen, who died last year, had a more precise definition: \"a process whereby a smaller company with fewer resources is able to successfully challenge established incumbent businesses.\"While the incumbents are focused on gradually improving their products to satisfy traditional customers, disrupters target \"overlooked segments, gaining a foothold,\" Christensen wrote.Incumbents ignore disrupters because those segments are small or unprofitable. The disrupters then expand their offerings, \"delivering the performance that incumbents' mainstream customers require, while preserving the advantages that drove their early success.\" When mainstream customers start adopting the disrupters' products \"in volume,\" you've got real disruption.Tesla: A Model DisrupterA model disrupter. An upstart called Tesla Motors, now just Tesla (TSLA), fits the Christensen model. The company was launched in 2003, released its first plug-in electric car five years later, and went public two years after that. Elon Musk took his earnings as cofounder of PayPal Holdings (PYPL) and became an early investor in Tesla; in 2008, he became CEO.In 2015, when Christensen’s article from which I'm quoting appeared in the Harvard Business Review, Tesla had two models and it sold 50,000 cars. Sales doubled in two years and reached 500,000 in 2020; this year, the forecast is 800,000 vehicles.Tesla is by far the largest global electric vehicle maker, manufacturing four models, including one with a list price of only $40,120. It's working on a beautiful long-haul truck. Holding Tesla back from even more sales this year is a pandemic-induced shortage of microchips, which should be temporary.The incumbents have responded. Last year, Ford said it would invest $11.5 billion in electric vehicles through 2022, producing a zero-emissions Mustang and F-150 truck. In January, GM announced it would phase out petroleum-fueled vehicles and sell only cars and trucks that produce zero emissions.I was not a Tesla believer years ago, but I am now. Tesla is still small ($32 billion in revenues last year, compared with GM's $122 billion) and unprofitable. An investment in Bitcoin and sales of regulatory credits to internal-combustion-engine carmakers saved Tesla from showing a loss in the most recent quarter.Stocks, however, are priced according to expectations, not history, and Tesla's future looks spectacular. In late 2019, Teslas started rolling out of a $2 billion factory in Shanghai, and in April the company announced a $1 billion factory in Austin, Texas.Musk forecasts that Tesla's U.S. market share will rise from 2% today to 10% in 2025, and analysts at Morgan Stanley project that the company's manufacturing capacity will reach 5.5 million vehicles by 2030. That compares favorably with GM's 6.8 million in 2020.Tesla's stock price has become more attractive lately, dropping more than 20% from its January peak, partly because of the chip shortage. Its market capitalization (shares outstanding times price) is $647 billion, or nearly twice as much as GM, Ford and Toyota Motor (TM) combined. In fact, Tesla is the seventh-largest U.S. company by market cap, after five tech giants and Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B); it's bigger than Walmart (WMT) and JPMorgan Chase (JPM).Is this crazy?I don't think so. The global auto market is estimated to grow to $9 trillion by 2030.11 More Automotive InnovatorsTech is the ignition. Tesla is not the only vehicle disrupter. Technology is front and center in the sector. Small, innovative companies abound, most of them still private. But there are good stocks to buy. One of the largest is the dominant ride-hailing company, Uber (UBER), with a market cap of about $90 billion.SOURCE: MorningstarVeoneer (VNE) is a Swedish company that makes automobile-mounted cameras, systems that assist night driving and other navigation electronics. Sales were hit last year by the pandemic, and the stock trades at less than half its 2018 high.Another attractive Swedish firm, Autoliv (ALV), makes auto-safety systems for the global auto industry. Autoliv has been consistently profitable, with a stock that's up by more than half this year. Aptiv (APTV), an Irish maker of sophisticated vehicle electronics, is also highly profitable, with a $38 billion market cap.Another company with substantial sales and earnings and a commitment to EVs is BYD (BYDDY), based in Shenzhen, China, with a market cap of $60 billion. BYD (an acronym for “Build Your Dreams”) started as a battery maker and now manufactures electric and internal-combustion vehicles; some of its EVs sell for as little as $9,000. Nearly all of Shenzhen’s 20,000 taxis are BYDs. Part of the appeal of BYD: The stock is down 46% since February, despite consistently rising revenues.China is the largest market for EVs, with 1.2 million sales last year. Two other Chinese manufacturers to note are Li Auto (LI), whose niche is SUVs, and the larger XPeng (XPEV), which makes SUVs and a four-door sport sedan; Xpeng is also in the ride-hailing business. Both stocks are well priced, having fallen by half in less than six months.More risky but worth consideration are some early-stage auto-tech firms. Luminar Technologies (LAZR) makes sensors and software that enable autonomous driving. Luminar had only $14 million in sales last year, but its prospects have earned it a market cap of $7 billion.QuantumScape (QS) is a lithium-ion battery maker with no sales in 2020 but a market cap of $12 billion. Beam Global (BEEM), with a market cap of just $276 million, specializes in clean-energy charging equipment for EVs; one of its products uses solar power.If you prefer a traditional automaker stock, my top choice is Volkswagen (VWAGY), with a dozen brands from seven European countries, including Audi, Bentley and Porsche, plus the truck and bus companies Scania and MAN.

Selling at the time turned out to be a good idea. Ford shares peaked in 1999.But don’t count Ford out. The drop in revenues from the pandemic was not as bad as expected, and over the past 12 months, the stock has returned 143%; General Motors (GM) has returned 162%.Ford and GM, two stodgy companies that have been selling pretty much the same product for more than a century, have felt the shock of an earthshaking disruption of their industry. It's a case of respond or die, and the two companies have responded, though a bit late.Disruptive innovation is a term coined in 1995 by Harvard Business School professor Clayton Christensen. Most people use the shorthand disruption to mean a general shake-up in an industry. But Christensen, who died last year, had a more precise definition: \"a process whereby a smaller company with fewer resources is able to successfully challenge established incumbent businesses.\"While the incumbents are focused on gradually improving their products to satisfy traditional customers, disrupters target \"overlooked segments, gaining a foothold,\" Christensen wrote.Incumbents ignore disrupters because those segments are small or unprofitable. The disrupters then expand their offerings, \"delivering the performance that incumbents' mainstream customers require, while preserving the advantages that drove their early success.\" When mainstream customers start adopting the disrupters' products \"in volume,\" you've got real disruption.Tesla: A Model DisrupterA model disrupter. An upstart called Tesla Motors, now just Tesla (TSLA), fits the Christensen model. The company was launched in 2003, released its first plug-in electric car five years later, and went public two years after that. Elon Musk took his earnings as cofounder of PayPal Holdings (PYPL) and became an early investor in Tesla; in 2008, he became CEO.In 2015, when Christensen’s article from which I'm quoting appeared in the Harvard Business Review, Tesla had two models and it sold 50,000 cars. Sales doubled in two years and reached 500,000 in 2020; this year, the forecast is 800,000 vehicles.Tesla is by far the largest global electric vehicle maker, manufacturing four models, including one with a list price of only $40,120. It's working on a beautiful long-haul truck. Holding Tesla back from even more sales this year is a pandemic-induced shortage of microchips, which should be temporary.The incumbents have responded. Last year, Ford said it would invest $11.5 billion in electric vehicles through 2022, producing a zero-emissions Mustang and F-150 truck. In January, GM announced it would phase out petroleum-fueled vehicles and sell only cars and trucks that produce zero emissions.I was not a Tesla believer years ago, but I am now. Tesla is still small ($32 billion in revenues last year, compared with GM's $122 billion) and unprofitable. An investment in Bitcoin and sales of regulatory credits to internal-combustion-engine carmakers saved Tesla from showing a loss in the most recent quarter.Stocks, however, are priced according to expectations, not history, and Tesla's future looks spectacular. In late 2019, Teslas started rolling out of a $2 billion factory in Shanghai, and in April the company announced a $1 billion factory in Austin, Texas.Musk forecasts that Tesla's U.S. market share will rise from 2% today to 10% in 2025, and analysts at Morgan Stanley project that the company's manufacturing capacity will reach 5.5 million vehicles by 2030. That compares favorably with GM's 6.8 million in 2020.Tesla's stock price has become more attractive lately, dropping more than 20% from its January peak, partly because of the chip shortage. Its market capitalization (shares outstanding times price) is $647 billion, or nearly twice as much as GM, Ford and Toyota Motor (TM) combined. In fact, Tesla is the seventh-largest U.S. company by market cap, after five tech giants and Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B); it's bigger than Walmart (WMT) and JPMorgan Chase (JPM).Is this crazy?I don't think so. The global auto market is estimated to grow to $9 trillion by 2030.11 More Automotive InnovatorsTech is the ignition. Tesla is not the only vehicle disrupter. Technology is front and center in the sector. Small, innovative companies abound, most of them still private. But there are good stocks to buy. One of the largest is the dominant ride-hailing company, Uber (UBER), with a market cap of about $90 billion.SOURCE: MorningstarVeoneer (VNE) is a Swedish company that makes automobile-mounted cameras, systems that assist night driving and other navigation electronics.

Aptiv (APTV), an Irish maker of sophisticated vehicle electronics, is also highly profitable, with a $38 billion market cap.Another company with substantial sales and earnings and a commitment to EVs is BYD (BYDDY), based in Shenzhen, China, with a market cap of $60 billion.

Nearly all of Shenzhen’s 20,000 taxis are BYDs. Part of the appeal of BYD: The stock is down 46% since February, despite consistently rising revenues.China is the largest market for EVs, with 1.2 million sales last year. Two other Chinese manufacturers to note are Li Auto (LI), whose niche is SUVs, and the larger XPeng (XPEV), which makes SUVs and a four-door sport sedan; Xpeng is also in the ride-hailing business. Both stocks are well priced, having fallen by half in less than six months.More risky but worth consideration are some early-stage auto-tech firms. Luminar Technologies (LAZR) makes sensors and software that enable autonomous driving. Luminar had only $14 million in sales last year, but its prospects have earned it a market cap of $7 billion.QuantumScape (QS) is a lithium-ion battery maker with no sales in 2020 but a market cap of $12 billion. Beam Global (BEEM), with a market cap of just $276 million, specializes in clean-energy charging equipment for EVs; one of its products uses solar power.If you prefer a traditional automaker stock, my top choice is Volkswagen (VWAGY), with a dozen brands from seven European countries, including Audi, Bentley and Porsche, plus the truck and bus companies Scania and MAN.

It was a gorgeous, embossed certificate issued by the Ford Motor (F), which had just gone public on January 18, 1956, at $64.50 a share.In 1988, I decided to sell my share, which after splits had become many shares worth $828. Selling at the time turned out to be a good idea. Ford shares peaked in 1999.But don’t count Ford out. The drop in revenues from the pandemic was not as bad as expected, and over the past 12 months, the stock has returned 143%; General Motors (GM) has returned 162%.Ford and GM, two stodgy companies that have been selling pretty much the same product for more than a century, have felt the shock of an earthshaking disruption of their industry. It's a case of respond or die, and the two companies have responded, though a bit late.Disruptive innovation is a term coined in 1995 by Harvard Business School professor Clayton Christensen. Most people use the shorthand disruption to mean a general shake-up in an industry. But Christensen, who died last year, had a more precise definition: \"a process whereby a smaller company with fewer resources is able to successfully challenge established incumbent businesses.\"While the incumbents are focused on gradually improving their products to satisfy traditional customers, disrupters target \"overlooked segments, gaining a foothold,\" Christensen wrote.Incumbents ignore disrupters because those segments are small or unprofitable. The disrupters then expand their offerings, \"delivering the performance that incumbents' mainstream customers require, while preserving the advantages that drove their early success.\" When mainstream customers start adopting the disrupters' products \"in volume,\" you've got real disruption.Tesla: A Model DisrupterA model disrupter. An upstart called Tesla Motors, now just Tesla (TSLA), fits the Christensen model. The company was launched in 2003, released its first plug-in electric car five years later, and went public two years after that. Elon Musk took his earnings as cofounder of PayPal Holdings (PYPL) and became an early investor in Tesla; in 2008, he became CEO.In 2015, when Christensen’s article from which I'm quoting appeared in the Harvard Business Review, Tesla had two models and it sold 50,000 cars. Sales doubled in two years and reached 500,000 in 2020; this year, the forecast is 800,000 vehicles.Tesla is by far the largest global electric vehicle maker, manufacturing four models, including one with a list price of only $40,120. It's working on a beautiful long-haul truck. Holding Tesla back from even more sales this year is a pandemic-induced shortage of microchips, which should be temporary.The incumbents have responded. Last year, Ford said it would invest $11.5 billion in electric vehicles through 2022, producing a zero-emissions Mustang and F-150 truck. In January, GM announced it would phase out petroleum-fueled vehicles and sell only cars and trucks that produce zero emissions.I was not a Tesla believer years ago, but I am now. Tesla is still small ($32 billion in revenues last year, compared with GM's $122 billion) and unprofitable. An investment in Bitcoin and sales of regulatory credits to internal-combustion-engine carmakers saved Tesla from showing a loss in the most recent quarter.Stocks, however, are priced according to expectations, not history, and Tesla's future looks spectacular. In late 2019, Teslas started rolling out of a $2 billion factory in Shanghai, and in April the company announced a $1 billion factory in Austin, Texas.Musk forecasts that Tesla's U.S. market share will rise from 2% today to 10% in 2025, and analysts at Morgan Stanley project that the company's manufacturing capacity will reach 5.5 million vehicles by 2030. That compares favorably with GM's 6.8 million in 2020.Tesla's stock price has become more attractive lately, dropping more than 20% from its January peak, partly because of the chip shortage. Its market capitalization (shares outstanding times price) is $647 billion, or nearly twice as much as GM, Ford and Toyota Motor (TM) combined. In fact, Tesla is the seventh-largest U.S. company by market cap, after five tech giants and Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B); it's bigger than Walmart (WMT) and JPMorgan Chase (JPM).Is this crazy?I don't think so. The global auto market is estimated to grow to $9 trillion by 2030.11 More Automotive InnovatorsTech is the ignition. Tesla is not the only vehicle disrupter. Technology is front and center in the sector. Small, innovative companies abound, most of them still private. But there are good stocks to buy. One of the largest is the dominant ride-hailing company, Uber (UBER), with a market cap of about $90 billion.SOURCE: MorningstarVeoneer (VNE) is a Swedish company that makes automobile-mounted cameras, systems that assist night driving and other navigation electronics. Sales were hit last year by the pandemic, and the stock trades at less than half its 2018 high.Another attractive Swedish firm, Autoliv (ALV), makes auto-safety systems for the global auto industry. Autoliv has been consistently profitable, with a stock that's up by more than half this year. Aptiv (APTV), an Irish maker of sophisticated vehicle electronics, is also highly profitable, with a $38 billion market cap.Another company with substantial sales and earnings and a commitment to EVs is BYD (BYDDY), based in Shenzhen, China, with a market cap of $60 billion. BYD (an acronym for “Build Your Dreams”) started as a battery maker and now manufactures electric and internal-combustion vehicles; some of its EVs sell for as little as $9,000. Nearly all of Shenzhen’s 20,000 taxis are BYDs. Part of the appeal of BYD: The stock is down 46% since February, despite consistently rising revenues.China is the largest market for EVs, with 1.2 million sales last year. Two other Chinese manufacturers to note are Li Auto (LI), whose niche is SUVs, and the larger XPeng (XPEV), which makes SUVs and a four-door sport sedan; Xpeng is also in the ride-hailing business. Both stocks are well priced, having fallen by half in less than six months.More risky but worth consideration are some early-stage auto-tech firms. Luminar Technologies (LAZR) makes sensors and software that enable autonomous driving. Luminar had only $14 million in sales last year, but its prospects have earned it a market cap of $7 billion.QuantumScape (QS) is a lithium-ion battery maker with no sales in 2020 but a market cap of $12 billion. Beam Global (BEEM), with a market cap of just $276 million, specializes in clean-energy charging equipment for EVs; one of its products uses solar power.If you prefer a traditional automaker stock, my top choice is Volkswagen (VWAGY), with a dozen brands from seven European countries, including Audi, Bentley and Porsche, plus the truck and bus companies Scania and MAN.

Selling at the time turned out to be a good idea. Ford shares peaked in 1999.But don’t count Ford out. The drop in revenues from the pandemic was not as bad as expected, and over the past 12 months, the stock has returned 143%; General Motors (GM) has returned 162%.Ford and GM, two stodgy companies that have been selling pretty much the same product for more than a century, have felt the shock of an earthshaking disruption of their industry. It's a case of respond or die, and the two companies have responded, though a bit late.Disruptive innovation is a term coined in 1995 by Harvard Business School professor Clayton Christensen. Most people use the shorthand disruption to mean a general shake-up in an industry. But Christensen, who died last year, had a more precise definition: \"a process whereby a smaller company with fewer resources is able to successfully challenge established incumbent businesses.\"While the incumbents are focused on gradually improving their products to satisfy traditional customers, disrupters target \"overlooked segments, gaining a foothold,\" Christensen wrote.Incumbents ignore disrupters because those segments are small or unprofitable. The disrupters then expand their offerings, \"delivering the performance that incumbents' mainstream customers require, while preserving the advantages that drove their early success.\" When mainstream customers start adopting the disrupters' products \"in volume,\" you've got real disruption.Tesla: A Model DisrupterA model disrupter. An upstart called Tesla Motors, now just Tesla (TSLA), fits the Christensen model. The company was launched in 2003, released its first plug-in electric car five years later, and went public two years after that. Elon Musk took his earnings as cofounder of PayPal Holdings (PYPL) and became an early investor in Tesla; in 2008, he became CEO.In 2015, when Christensen’s article from which I'm quoting appeared in the Harvard Business Review, Tesla had two models and it sold 50,000 cars. Sales doubled in two years and reached 500,000 in 2020; this year, the forecast is 800,000 vehicles.Tesla is by far the largest global electric vehicle maker, manufacturing four models, including one with a list price of only $40,120. It's working on a beautiful long-haul truck. Holding Tesla back from even more sales this year is a pandemic-induced shortage of microchips, which should be temporary.The incumbents have responded. Last year, Ford said it would invest $11.5 billion in electric vehicles through 2022, producing a zero-emissions Mustang and F-150 truck. In January, GM announced it would phase out petroleum-fueled vehicles and sell only cars and trucks that produce zero emissions.I was not a Tesla believer years ago, but I am now. Tesla is still small ($32 billion in revenues last year, compared with GM's $122 billion) and unprofitable. An investment in Bitcoin and sales of regulatory credits to internal-combustion-engine carmakers saved Tesla from showing a loss in the most recent quarter.Stocks, however, are priced according to expectations, not history, and Tesla's future looks spectacular. In late 2019, Teslas started rolling out of a $2 billion factory in Shanghai, and in April the company announced a $1 billion factory in Austin, Texas.Musk forecasts that Tesla's U.S. market share will rise from 2% today to 10% in 2025, and analysts at Morgan Stanley project that the company's manufacturing capacity will reach 5.5 million vehicles by 2030. That compares favorably with GM's 6.8 million in 2020.Tesla's stock price has become more attractive lately, dropping more than 20% from its January peak, partly because of the chip shortage. Its market capitalization (shares outstanding times price) is $647 billion, or nearly twice as much as GM, Ford and Toyota Motor (TM) combined. In fact, Tesla is the seventh-largest U.S. company by market cap, after five tech giants and Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B); it's bigger than Walmart (WMT) and JPMorgan Chase (JPM).Is this crazy?I don't think so. The global auto market is estimated to grow to $9 trillion by 2030.11 More Automotive InnovatorsTech is the ignition. Tesla is not the only vehicle disrupter. Technology is front and center in the sector. Small, innovative companies abound, most of them still private. But there are good stocks to buy. One of the largest is the dominant ride-hailing company, Uber (UBER), with a market cap of about $90 billion.SOURCE: MorningstarVeoneer (VNE) is a Swedish company that makes automobile-mounted cameras, systems that assist night driving and other navigation electronics.

Aptiv (APTV), an Irish maker of sophisticated vehicle electronics, is also highly profitable, with a $38 billion market cap.Another company with substantial sales and earnings and a commitment to EVs is BYD (BYDDY), based in Shenzhen, China, with a market cap of $60 billion.

Nearly all of Shenzhen’s 20,000 taxis are BYDs. Part of the appeal of BYD: The stock is down 46% since February, despite consistently rising revenues.China is the largest market for EVs, with 1.2 million sales last year. Two other Chinese manufacturers to note are Li Auto (LI), whose niche is SUVs, and the larger XPeng (XPEV), which makes SUVs and a four-door sport sedan; Xpeng is also in the ride-hailing business. Both stocks are well priced, having fallen by half in less than six months.More risky but worth consideration are some early-stage auto-tech firms. Luminar Technologies (LAZR) makes sensors and software that enable autonomous driving. Luminar had only $14 million in sales last year, but its prospects have earned it a market cap of $7 billion.QuantumScape (QS) is a lithium-ion battery maker with no sales in 2020 but a market cap of $12 billion. Beam Global (BEEM), with a market cap of just $276 million, specializes in clean-energy charging equipment for EVs; one of its products uses solar power.If you prefer a traditional automaker stock, my top choice is Volkswagen (VWAGY), with a dozen brands from seven European countries, including Audi, Bentley and Porsche, plus the truck and bus companies Scania and MAN. VW sold only half as many EVs as Tesla last year, but the demand in Europe is intense, as it will soon be in the U.S.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"comments":[{"id":4457754,"gmtCreate":1622034244829,"gmtModify":1680791116042,"authorId":3581988841626176,"author":{"id":3581988841626176,"authorId":3581988841626176,"name":"JKJKJK","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/882030abc3e0ffb1122b6a566ab01832","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":136492392,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"Pls reply to my comment.","text":"Pls reply to my comment.","html":"Pls reply to my comment."},{"id":4457886,"gmtCreate":1622035051903,"gmtModify":1680791115304,"authorId":3582458469877063,"author":{"id":3582458469877063,"authorId":3582458469877063,"name":"Cwsl","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/53731f06a72a86f9bf9b5ee69250d057","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":136492392,"type":1,"supId":4457754,"prevId":0,"content":"Reply to my comment too thx","text":"Reply to my comment too thx","html":"Reply to my comment too thx"}],"langContent":"EN"},{"id":136498207,"gmtCreate":1622034101509,"gmtModify":1704178193415,"author":{"id":"3579133665869042","authorId":"3579133665869042","name":"HermanL","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/9f78b4b0368585f8165f578756deb5ef","vip":1,"hat":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0a8758340a08196056f8bc1e54805193","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/136498207","repostId":2138117769,"repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2138117769","pubTimestamp":1622033700,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2138117769?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-05-26 20:55","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Disrupters Are Driving the Car Market","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2138117769","media":"Kiplinger","summary":"When I was 9, my grandfather gave me a present: my first share of stock.

It was a gorgeous, embossed certificate issued by the Ford Motor (F), which had just gone public on January 18, 1956, at $64.50 a share.In 1988, I decided to sell my share, which after splits had become many shares worth $828. Selling at the time turned out to be a good idea. Ford shares peaked in 1999.But don’t count Ford out. The drop in revenues from the pandemic was not as bad as expected, and over the past 12 months, the stock has returned 143%; General Motors (GM) has returned 162%.Ford and GM, two stodgy companies that have been selling pretty much the same product for more than a century, have felt the shock of an earthshaking disruption of their industry. It's a case of respond or die, and the two companies have responded, though a bit late.Disruptive innovation is a term coined in 1995 by Harvard Business School professor Clayton Christensen. Most people use the shorthand disruption to mean a general shake-up in an industry. But Christensen, who died last year, had a more precise definition: \"a process whereby a smaller company with fewer resources is able to successfully challenge established incumbent businesses.\"While the incumbents are focused on gradually improving their products to satisfy traditional customers, disrupters target \"overlooked segments, gaining a foothold,\" Christensen wrote.Incumbents ignore disrupters because those segments are small or unprofitable. The disrupters then expand their offerings, \"delivering the performance that incumbents' mainstream customers require, while preserving the advantages that drove their early success.\" When mainstream customers start adopting the disrupters' products \"in volume,\" you've got real disruption.Tesla: A Model DisrupterA model disrupter. An upstart called Tesla Motors, now just Tesla (TSLA), fits the Christensen model. The company was launched in 2003, released its first plug-in electric car five years later, and went public two years after that. Elon Musk took his earnings as cofounder of PayPal Holdings (PYPL) and became an early investor in Tesla; in 2008, he became CEO.In 2015, when Christensen’s article from which I'm quoting appeared in the Harvard Business Review, Tesla had two models and it sold 50,000 cars. Sales doubled in two years and reached 500,000 in 2020; this year, the forecast is 800,000 vehicles.Tesla is by far the largest global electric vehicle maker, manufacturing four models, including one with a list price of only $40,120. It's working on a beautiful long-haul truck. Holding Tesla back from even more sales this year is a pandemic-induced shortage of microchips, which should be temporary.The incumbents have responded. Last year, Ford said it would invest $11.5 billion in electric vehicles through 2022, producing a zero-emissions Mustang and F-150 truck. In January, GM announced it would phase out petroleum-fueled vehicles and sell only cars and trucks that produce zero emissions.I was not a Tesla believer years ago, but I am now. Tesla is still small ($32 billion in revenues last year, compared with GM's $122 billion) and unprofitable. An investment in Bitcoin and sales of regulatory credits to internal-combustion-engine carmakers saved Tesla from showing a loss in the most recent quarter.Stocks, however, are priced according to expectations, not history, and Tesla's future looks spectacular. In late 2019, Teslas started rolling out of a $2 billion factory in Shanghai, and in April the company announced a $1 billion factory in Austin, Texas.Musk forecasts that Tesla's U.S. market share will rise from 2% today to 10% in 2025, and analysts at Morgan Stanley project that the company's manufacturing capacity will reach 5.5 million vehicles by 2030.
