Guest jalebijim Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Cons: CEO does not have a material science or engineering background CEO is a very good promoter Chief engineer used to work as a pinball repairman No concrete product and lots of hype Poor efficiencies of hydrogen to electricity transfer, loss of energy from compression etc CEO sold $70 million of shares at $10??? Massive infrastructure cost for a buildout of hydrogen stations . . . . Pros: Some good partners like Bosh, INVECO Were able to raise some capital Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stahleyp Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 What have Valueact's returns been over the past 10 years? I would imagine pretty terrible since Ubben stepped down this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he (Milton) compared the company to Telsa and Amazon. Ubben might be low-balling the $100 billion. Here's my math: Tesla has a market cap of $176 billion. Amazon $1.25 trillion. If we take $176 billion+$1.25 trillion and divide that by 2 (to get a margin of safety), this company should be worth around $700 billion. Market cap is $26 billion so this should get a 25+ bagger. Not bad for a company with no revenue. I wonder how much of these companies get funding because they're going to "save" the world? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you have a price target of $950 for NKLA? Seems cheap. Amazon is at over $2,500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are several errors in your guys math and analysis! 2020 q1 revenue was $58,000(leaves a lot of room for revenue growth, will provide nice upside for the stock). According to the former CEO Trevor Milton(who is now the chairman) this is a technology energy company, that is primarily B2B focused and vertically integrated via outsourcing. Your $700 billion valuation does not take into account the eyeballs monetization from his Twitter account(yes 1999 metrics are back in fashion).

valueinvestor Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 I really don’t understand how pre-order revenue is more valuable then actual revenue. What happened to Aesop’s one bird in hand worth two in the Bush. I’m invested in SHOP, so I’m not a traditional value investor but how can investors have faith without trying the product or ecosystem? Maybe we’re missing something huge here? Something that will ensure their victory in the market? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valueinvestor Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 It seems market is weighing heavily on the pre-order of 14,000 trucks that includes the cost of fuel... Apparently people are saying 1999 was still worse, but if that’s the case, I’m just flabbergasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually shorted a tiny amount of some deep in the money calls today. Keeping them on a tight leash.

I didn't realize NKLA had that much revenue. Since Milton also uses Twitter, I think that $58,000 revenue is worth at least $28 billion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stahleyp Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 I'll still say that 1999 was still worse...but I'm not going to lie, it's starting to look like it. With 1999 you had a lot of these story stocks (multi-billion market caps with little to no revenue). Shiller P/E was like 45 and the 10 year was at 6%+. 10 year is now less than 1% and is Shiller at 30. Now that doesn't mean the stock market won't drop (in 2007 both of those metrics were also lower than 2000). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently people are saying 1999 was still worse, but if that’s the case, I’m just flabbergasted. I think 2020 is far worse than 1999. Compared to what’s going on right now pets.com looks viable in retrospect. I think it should just IPO again and I bet it would surge because if the nostalgia value.

rb Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Speaking of the free trading. Didn't this happen with the 1999 as well? If I remember correctly that's the era that the discount brokerages came around. Sure free has much more allure than cheaper so it's attracting more people. But going from $100 a trade to $20 a trade is a hell of a bigger reduction than going from $5 a trade to $0 a trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
