Investor Insights

This summary was created by AI, based on 1 opinions in the last 12 months.

QuantumScape (QS-N) went public in November 2020 during a peak period for electric vehicle (EV) stocks, initially experiencing a surge of 50% upon its IPO, driven by significant hype in the market. However, the excitement was short-lived as sellers, including short-sellers, labeled the company a 'scam' due to the absence of revenues and profits. By late 2022, the company's shares suffered drastic declines, mirroring the fate of numerous other EV companies from that era, such as Lordstown Motors. The overall narrative shows that QuantumScape has yet to prove its business model, leading to skepticism among investors and analysts alike. This has raised concerns about its long-term viability and the sustainability of investments in companies without financial backing.

Consensus
Negative
Valuation
Overvalued
DON'T BUY

It went public in Nov. 2020, a time when anything EVs rallied. This jumped 50% when it IPO'd. Hype. Then, shortsellers called it a scam. The company hasn't made money or profits. No revenues. By late 2022, shares were obliterated along with many EV shares of this era like Lordstown Motors.

DON'T BUY
It's losing a lot of money.
DON'T BUY
Very wary. He wants to see Volkswagon take a bigger stake in QS and then things will really get rolling.
DON'T BUY
There's so much competition in the lithium battery space.
DON'T BUY

So many chased these EV SPACs to find the next Tesla. Many some will be gems, but for now the whole sector has collapsed. QS was one of the better SPACs, but their projections are aggressive and don't account for failure. Shares are down 76% from highs.

COMMENT
EV SPACs are facing more scrutiny from aggressive short-seller. Yesterday, a short-seller accused QS of being a pump-and-dump scam, but didn't mention sources of information. QS defends itself as being highly transparent and stands by all its published data. The CEO even did a webcast to defend themselves today.
BUY
Run by a great CEO. It's one of the few SPACs he likes. Their batteries are good.
COMMENT

They're trying to produce the first solid-state lithium battery for EVs. This stock has huge potential as it partners with Tesla.

BUY
Strategy to play their lock-up period ending It shot up before Christmas, then collapsed on bad headlines related to SEC filings and a reverse merger with another company which created 100 millions of shares. Then QS planned to sell a ton of those shares, but in reality no lock-up expired. It's since pulled back to the mid-50s, and he likes it now.
COMMENT
There's been a recent flurry of EV (e-car) SPACs-extending back to the summer, and have wracked up tremendous gains, though they collapsed in today's sell-off. Make sure you know what you buy or own here. QS is a great company, making e-car batteries. He recommended it in the teens, then to sell it last month. But QS kept rising. Now, it's in free-fall, plunging 41% today. Despite no meaningful sales, he still likes this; it has promise.
PARTIAL SELL
They're developing a better e-car battery. They have strong partnerships. This soared from $13 in late October to $76 last Thursday, but is now at $56. Take some profits after pulling back hard. But as it gets cheaper, the stock gets better. He likes the story here.
