Even so, there are multiple signs that point to a bearish position on MVIS being a prudent one.\nSo, why should investors be bearish on MVIS right now?\nMicroVision Isn’t Living Up to Its Promise\nBack in February, MicroVision released news that precipitated the run up in its share price. On Feb. 10 it announced that it was making progress on its light-detection-and-ranging (lidar) technology. Within the span of a week it had gone from about $7 to above $23.\nThe company also announced that it would likely be able to produce a working prototype of its long-range lidar technology by April, which disappointed.\nBut despite nearly non-existent sales, it managed only $479,000 in the first quarter, MicroVision remains a darling of the Redditor crowd.\nThat’s partly because the promise of lidar largely hinges upon the fate ofTesla(NASDAQ:TSLA). Tesla has famously been a staunch proponent of computer vision in its vehicles rather than lidar. But recent events indicated that lidar could indeed be the way forward as EV autonomy evolves.\nTesla\nA Tesla was photographed a few months ago in Florida sporting lidar sensors fromLuminar(NASDAQ:LAZR). Tesla did not indicate that the partnership means its computer vision aspirations are over. Rather, itcalled the partnershipuseful for the purpose of “testing and developing.”\nFor MicroVision, this could have been interpreted multiple ways. On the one hand, it clearly indicates that lidar has a future in vehicle autonomy as many pundits have long suspected. However, Tesla’s choice of Luminar as a partner indicates MicroVision is likely not the leader in the field many expected it to become.\nIn fact, it’s much closer to a company that should trade in penny stock territory than one deserving of a $22 share price and $3.2 billion in market capitalization.\nThe two analysts covering MVIS stock each give it a shockingly low price target of 25 cents. That’s more than 80x where it currently trades at.\nIt’s one example of what happens when the internet amplifies the attractiveness of an object that should appear much less shiny.\nThe Bottom Line on MVIS Stock\nEven though Reddit will prop MVIS stock up for now, I suspect MicroVision is simply going to continue what it has done throughout its corporate life. That is, pivot and attempt to commercialize a new technology.\nIt did raise nearly $49 million through an at-the-market sale of common stock when it popped in February. And it does have $75 million in free cash according to its10-Q. It has also flat out stated that it is looking to be purchased or could merge.","source":"lsy1606302653667","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>MicroVision Simply Is Not What It Was Billed To Be</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\">\nMicroVision Simply Is Not What It Was Billed To Be\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-23 17:34 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://investorplace.com/2021/06/mvis-stock-simply-is-not-what-it-was-billed-to-be/>InvestorPlace</a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\nMVIS stock isn't interesting unless you like meme stocks.\n\nInvestors who chose to get on board withMicroVision(NASDAQ:MVIS) stock now would be making an unwise decision.\nSource: Shutterstock\nThere are...\n\n<a href=\"https://investorplace.com/2021/06/mvis-stock-simply-is-not-what-it-was-billed-to-be/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"MVIS":"维视图像"},"source_url":"https://investorplace.com/2021/06/mvis-stock-simply-is-not-what-it-was-billed-to-be/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1119094763","content_text":"MVIS stock isn't interesting unless you like meme stocks.\n\nInvestors who chose to get on board withMicroVision(NASDAQ:MVIS) stock now would be making an unwise decision.\nSource: Shutterstock\nThere are ample reasons to be bearish on MicroVision moving forward.
