DON'T BUY
Upstart Holdings

It's in a short squeeze and not doing well. Their numbers were cut again yesterday. There are a number of bad loans.

Technology
BUY
Upstart Holdings
They work with banks and credit unions to determine whether a borrower is worth of a loan. They operate a cloud-based aggregator (their platform using AI). He sold shares in late 2021. $12.15 is the price target, but he thinks $19 will happen and then we'll see analyst upgrades.

SELL
Upstart Holdings
A painful one. He doesn't like their business model, their last quarter or their pre-announcement.

DON'T BUY
Upstart Holdings
Buy now, pay later stocks: Affirm, Upstart, Block and Paypal Upstart is down 92% from its high, Affirm 89%, Block 78% and PayPal 76%. Some of this is due to these stocks being massively massively overpriced to begin with. At peak, Affirm was trading at 30x sales (not earnings), and it won't be profitable before 2026. Block and PayPal are profitable, but were trading at sky-high multiples last year (170x PE and 65x respectively). The market hates the buy-now, pay-later stocks because they don't make money (though are well-run). He liked Upstart early on; it wasn't a buy-not,pay-later story, but helped facilitate loans using technology. But Upstart took on far more credit risk than assumed, which upset him. The business models of these stocks were far better when interest rates were low. Also, more competitors have rushed in now. The lesson: don't be caught up in euphoria. Earnings, valuations and interest rates matter.

Upstart Holdings
(A Top Pick Aug 04/21, Down 70%) He got out as the macro picture changed. Lowered guidance because of lower borrowing demand. (Analysts’ price target is $51.00)

SELL
Upstart Holdings
He was hoping it would be a loan platform, not a loaner, and hoped they had gotten loans off their books to have an asset-lite model. A pandemic play.
Technology
SELL
Upstart Holdings
They just cut their forecast, and shares are plunging 43% after hours. Valuations matter. This didn't make sense then or now. Share are down 90%.
Technology
WEAK BUY
Upstart Holdings
Assessing credit worthiness on behalf of banks and lenders. Extremely popular, and it took off. Now back down to earth. 12-month price target of $148. He's been in and out, you have to be nimble. Perhaps, you may want to use the options market, because then you know exactly how much you have at risk in the market.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jun 22/21, Up 29%) It went up 211% between June 22 and October 15, but then they missed earnings. That's why it's up only 30%.
Technology
COMMENT
Upstart Holdings
They're the AI lending platform. It reports Tuesday. He doesn't understand their business, so he will listen to their conference call.

BUY on WEAKNESS
Upstart Holdings
Their AI is better at screening borrowers than traditional credit scores. It's had a monster run since December as shares have zoomed. They connect borrowers with lenders and collect a fee. It boasts spectacular numbers. It's set to more than triple sales this year. It keeps raising its forecast. Shares may be overextended, though.
Technology
PARTIAL SELL
Upstart Holdings
Still owns, but has written $280 calls on 3/4 of his position. Above his 12-month price target of $268. Analytical tools to assess creditworthiness. Rapidly penetrating the massive auto loan market. Great story.
