This Stock Could Make Electric Vehicles and your Portfolio Soar

  • Batteries Explode on Airplanes!
  • Where You Gonna Put the People?
  • Zero-Emission Jet Fuel?
  • A Diamond in the Rough

A few weeks back, a flight from San Diego to Newark, New Jersey, had to turn back because a laptop with a lithium-ion battery caught fire.

The plane’s crew was unable to extinguish the flames or to even get the battery pack into a fire bag to prevent the fire from spreading.

Fortunately, the flight wasn’t very far from its origination airport and was able to land safely with no injuries to passengers or crew.

That’s great. But it really got me thinking about the future of flight…

I mean, we’re supposed to be reducing or eliminating our carbon emissions, and jets emit more of that stuff than just about any other machine on the planet.

So you hear a lot of talk about electric airplanes these days. But electric airplanes have a critical flaw in their design…

Batteries Explode on Airplanes!

They’re powered by those same lithium-ion batteries that have a bad habit of exploding when you take them on an airplane.

Cue face-palm moment in three… two… one…

I mean, there are signs everywhere in the airport, on the airline websites, on the booking sites like Kayak…

They all say not to check anything with a lithium-ion battery. No laptops, no electronic cigarettes, not even a cellphone.

And why?

Well, its because, when they’re exposed to the immense pressure changes that go along with flying, they warp, crack, and expose an extremely volatile chemical to the air that ignites it.

So why would anyone think anything other than that would happen to the lithium-ion batteries powering the electric plane?

Now, I’m sure the solution to that issue is to pressurize the whole plane, not just the passenger cabins.

But mid-air explosions aren’t the only thing keeping battery-powered planes on the ground…

Where You Gonna Put the People?

You see, aviation fuel has what’s known as an extremely high energy density. That just means it packs a whole lot of potential energy into a very small package.

Lithium-ion batteries, while they have a greater energy density than other kinds of batteries, don’t even come close to aviation fuel.

In fact, jet fuel is more than 50 times more energy-dense than batteries. That means you need 50 pounds of batteries to replace one pound of fuel.

And in case you didn’t know, jet airliners use a whole lot more than one pound of fuel per flight…

A Boeing 747 can carry 433,195 pounds of fuel in its tanks. And on long flights, it needs every last drop.

You could get an equivalent amount of energy from batteries, but you’d need 21,659,750 pounds of them.

Considering a 747 can only take off if it weighs less than 910,000 pounds, I’d call that a limitation.

The amount of batteries you’d need to replace the fuel and provide the same amount of energy would literally make it too heavy for the plane to get off the ground.

Even if you could create a battery with half the energy density of aviation fuel, you’d need over 800,000 pounds of batteries.

Add in the empty weight of a 747 (around 412,300 pounds) and you get another plane that’s too heavy to even make it off the ground, let alone stay in the air.

That begs the question: Where are you going to put all the passengers and their luggage?

And that explains why literally nobody is working to design large commercial aircraft that are battery-powered.

Batteries simply can’t power them. They can power smaller planes that hold a handful of passengers and a carry-on bag for each of them.

But even those can barely take off, fly across a city, and safely land with the power provided by their weighty batteries.

Zero-Emission Jet Fuel?

That doesn’t mean you or I will never take flight in an electric airplane. It just means the plane isn't likely to be powered by batteries.

But there is an alternative to carbon-intensive aviation fuel and explosive, unwieldy batteries…

And it’s already being used to power industry around the world. So it’s just a matter of time before it makes its way into aircraft.

You see, these machines are powered by electricity. But not the kind you might be thinking about…

Instead of carrying “pre-made” electricity with them in the form of a massive bunch of batteries, these machines create their own electricity as they need it.

And they do it by “burning” a zero-emission fuel that was developed for a top-secret NASA project, no less.

The only byproducts produced are pure oxygen and water clean enough for you or me to drink.

And the power created is just out of this world. Remember, batteries, even the very best of them, have about 50 times less energy density than jet fuel…

But this zero-emission alternative has three times MORE energy density than that same jet fuel…

Making it 150 times more energy-dense than lithium-ion batteries!

But the thing is that everyone is only thinking about lithium-ion batteries when they think about clean transportation options.

A Diamond in the Rough

So they’re completely overlooking the company mainly responsible for getting this zero-emission alternative, the ONLY real alternative, out there.

That means, despite being founded by the very person who first invested this power system for NASA…

Despite having tens of thousands of products already on roads around the world…

Despite inking partnerships with some of the world’s biggest automakers and heavy-equipment manufacturers…

This company’s stock is still trading for less than $10 a share!

Despite potentially holding the most valuable intellectual property in the world, this company is trading for peanuts.

But that’s something I expect to change very quickly…

More people are noticing the progress this company’s made. And more investors are betting it’ll completely change the future of transportation.

And with every new convert it gets, the share price gets a little higher. Like I said, it’s still trading for less than a tenner.

But I could see its share price getting as high as $100 in short order. Eventually, I see its overall gains surpassing those of the gold standard in alternative transportation: Tesla.

From its IPO in 2010 to its most recent peak in November 2021, that stock scored investors a ridiculous 25,640% gain:

Source: WealthDaily.com

And I’m convinced that’s going to amount to child’s play once all’s said and done for this company.

In fact, around the office, we’ve taken to calling it the “Tesla Killer” because it’s destined to steal so much market share from Elon Musk's crown jewel.

So to help make it as easy as possible for you to get a piece of this action before all the gains are gone, I’ve compiled everything I’ve learned about this company, the zero-emission fuel source its founder pioneered for NASA, and the opportunity it represents to investors and the environment.

I’ve done all the legwork so that you can reap all the rewards.

All you’ve got to do is get yourself invested for the win that’s all but guaranteed to come.

To your wealth,

The Top Electric Vehicle Stocks for 2023

December 29, 2022 By admin Leave a Comment

In this Article:

  • Here are five of the top electric vehicle stocks to own heading into 2023.
  • Albemarle (ALB): It is oversold with big potential in a tight lithium market.
  • Krane Shares EVs and Future Mobility (KARS): This ETF offers a smart way to diversify at low cost.
  • Freeport McMoRan (FCX): FCX provides a solid way to trade the recovery in copper prices.
  • ChargePoint (CHPT): We can’t have millions of EVs on the roads with no place to charge them.
  • Fidelity EVs and Future Transportation ETF (FDRV): It is another smart ETF to diversify at low cost.

Electric vehicle stocks had a rough ride in 2022, all thanks to shortages of essential supplies, sky-high inflation, rising interest rates and issues over the pandemic. However, don’t count them out just yet. Global leaders are demanding millions of EVs on the roads in an effort to reduce emissions. The U.S. wants to reduce emissions by 52%. Europe is targeting 55%. China even says it will stop releasing carbon dioxide in the next 40 years.

The International Energy Agency says we could see up to 135 million electric vehicles on the roads in the next decade. Analysts at Ernst & Young say EVs could outpace combustion engines globally over the same period. Bloomberg NEF says that, by 2030, more than half of passenger cars sold in the United States will be electric, driven in part by incentives put in place by the Inflation Reduction Act.

That being said, I’d start buying beaten-down electric vehicle stocks, and related stocks, for longer-term growth.

Albemarle (ALB)

Albemarle (NYSE:ALB) is one of the top electric vehicle stocks to own heading into 2023. Not only is it ridiculously oversold, but it’s also one of the top ways to trade the lithium story.

As the world continues to deal with a tight supply-demand issue with lithium, ALB is well-positioned to capitalize. For one, the company drew about 60% of its sales from lithium in the third quarter. Two, company revenues are surging along with lithium prices, which soared about 100% year-over-year.

We also have to remember the lithium story isn’t cooling off — at least not anytime soon. For an idea of just how tight the lithium situation is, Forbes.com contributor Tristan Bove says, “At current extraction rates, carmakers will need more mining to hit industry forecasts of as many as 300 million electric vehicles on the road worldwide by 2030, as will countries to meet their commitments to achieve net-zero carbon emissions.”

[Alexander Green: The New King of LNG]

Krane Shares Electric Vehicles and Future Mobility (KARS)

It’s never a good idea to put all your eggs in one basket. Instead, you want to diversity for safety, with an exchange-traded fund such as the Krane Shares Electric Vehicles and Future Mobility (NYSEARCA:KARS). With this fund, all your eggs are in different baskets: electric vehicles, autonomous driving, lithium and copper production, hydrogen fuel and semiconductors. In fact, you’re safer diversifying with an ETF like KARS, than putting all your money in a single stock like Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA).

With an expense ratio of 0.70%, some of the KARS ETF top holdings include Samsung (OTCMKTS:SSNLF), Panasonic Holdings (OTCMKTS:PCRFY), Aptiv (NYSE:APTV), Li Auto (NASDAQ:LI), BYD Co. (OTCMKTS:BYDDY) and dozens more. Also, while the KARS ETF is down about 46% from its 2021 highs, give it time. As the EV story improves, I’d like to see the ETF again challenge its former high of $54.43.

Freeport McMoRan (FCX)

Another key component of the electric vehicle story is copper. That’s because EVs use about two and a half times more copper than your combustion engine cars, which could help pull Freeport McMoRan (NYSE:FCX) well off recent lows.

In fact, “Between today and 2035, achieving the net-zero emissions by 2050 goals will translate into a rapid ramp-up of copper demand, increasing by more than 82 percent between 2021 and 2035,” according to S&P Global analysts, as quoted by InvestingNews.com. “This ramp-up is largely driven by the required transition to clean vehicles and electrification of the economy.”

Helping, ConocoPhillips (NYSE:COP) CEO and FCX Director, Ryan Lance, just bought $988,300 worth of FCX stock at an average price of $31.88 each. Better, FCX just declared a cash dividend of $0.15 per share on FCX’s common stock, payable on Feb. 1, 2023, to shareholders of record as of Jan. 13, 2023. From a current price of $37.74, I’d like to see the FCX stock rally back to $50, especially as copper prices recover.

ChargePoint (CHPT)

With the electric vehicle boom set to accelerate, we’ll need a good deal of charging stations, which is great news for companies like ChargePoint (NYSE:CHPT). After all, we can’t have millions of EVs on the roads, and not have anywhere to charge them.

“With the total cumulative investment in EV charging infrastructure in the United States and Europe expected to be $60 billion by 2030 and $192 billion by 2040, ChargePoint’s established business model, comprehensive portfolio for nearly every charging scenario today, recurring revenue and growing customer base demonstrate it is well positioned to continue to lead as the electric mobility revolution accelerates,” says the company.

Helping, the Biden Administration is committed to building a national network of 500,000 EV charging stations by 2030.

Earnings have been solid, too. Third-quarter revenue, for example, was up 93% to $125.3 million YoY. Networked charging systems revenue for the third quarter was $97.6 million, up 105% from $47.5 million YoY. Also, subscription revenue was $21.7 million, up 62% from $13.4 million YoY. For Q4 2022, CHPT expects revenue to fall in the range of $160 million to $170 million, which would be 108% above year-ago numbers.

Fidelity Electric Vehicles and Future Transportation ETF (FDRV)

Another hot EV ETF to consider is the Fidelity Electric Vehicles and Future Transportation ETF (BATS:FDRV). At $14.77, with an expense ratio of 0.39%, the ETF offers exposure to companies involved in the production of electric and/or autonomous vehicles, components and technology, and other companies that are working to change the future of transportation. Some of its top holdings include Nio (NYSE:NIO), Tesla, Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM), Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), Intel (NASDAQ:INTC), Aptiv and Garmin (NYSE:GRMN).

EV Stocks to Electrify your Portfolio in 2023

November 21, 2022 By admin Leave a Comment

In this Article:

  • These three EV stocks have plenty of potential to rise in 2023.
  • XPeng (XPEV): This Chinese EV manufacturer has strong fundamentals and growth potential in the coming years.
  • Polestar Automotive (PSNY): This company has strong backing from auto giants, ensuring this project’s success.
  • AB Volvo (VLVLY): VLVLY is all set to ramp up its production of heavy-duty electric trucks.

Growth and tech stocks have taken a massive hit this year due to a range of macro factors. Soaring inflation has led to hawkish monetary policy from the Federal Reserve. This hasn’t helped supply chains, which remain bottlenecked around the world. For electric vehicle (EV) stocks, this has been a perfect recipe for lower valuations, at least in the near term.

Many premium EV makers are also suffering from shifting consumer preferences. Many consumers may be looking to delay an EV purchase due to a higher-than-expected price tag. Accordingly, while there does appear to be great opportunity around EV stocks right now, being selective is going to be more important than ever.

Broadly, the ongoing climate crisis is shifting how governments and countries are thinking about this sector. In Germany, targets have been put in place aimed at putting approximately 15 million electric vehicles on their streets by the end of 2030. Additionally, California and Canada plan to make 100% of new car sales zero emission by 2035. These are ambitious goals, to be sure.

In order to achieve these goals, these nations need electric vehicles that their citizens and businesses can purchase. These three companies are among the leading high-growth EV makers I think could gobble up global market share over time.

XPeng (XPEV)

Let’s start our list of EV stocks to buy with Chinese electric vehicle maker XPeng (NYSE:XPEV). This company designs, manufactures and delivers smart electric cars mainly in the Chinese market. Other revenue segments aside from EV production include maintenance, vehicle leasing, supercharging and auto finance services.

Notably, XPeng has seen robust growth in deliveries of late. Its October delivery numbers showed the company delivered 5,101 EVs, including 709 G3i smart compact SUVs, 1,665 P5 smart family sedans and 2,104 P7 smart sports sedans. This translated into year-over-year growth of 56%, a very impressive number relative to its peers.

He Xiaopeng, XPeng Inc.’s CEO and Chairman, also said in a statement that the company’s transportation and logistics are all set to increase production at the beginning of November.

Moreover, this Chinese EV giant has passed the autonomous driving test for launching robotaxi services. It plans on launching this service next year in Guangzhou and, within the next two years, expand it to other major cities.

[Whitney Tilson: Gold 2.0 Tap Into the Most Lucrative Vein of the SWaB Revolution]

Polestar Automotive (PSNY)

A Swedish manufacturer of premium electric vehicles, Polestar Automotive (NASDAQ:PSNY) is a very compelling option in the world of EV stocks. Some of this has to do with the company’s impressive backers, which include Geely (OTCMKTS: GELYF) and Volvo (OTCMKTS:VLVLY).

However, one of the key reasons I like this stock right now is the fact that Polestar just declared its first gross profit after turning public.

Compared to the same quarter last year, its sales were up by 105%, amounting to $4 million gross profit. Moreover, driven by rising sales in Q4 2022, Polestar estimates to generate $2.4 billion from the sale of its vehicles. This company is also set to release the Polestar 4 SUV, the Polestar 5 grand touring sedan and the Polestar 6 roadster in the years to come.

Furthermore, thanks to the financial support from its major shareholders (Geely and Volvo), the Swedish EV maker has $1.6 billion in capital to support its operations in 2023. Volvo Cars provided $800 million of this amount in the form of an 18-month term loan that also has an equity conversion option.

Thomas Ingenlath, the CEO of Polestar, welcomes this funding, as it will help the EV maker stay focused on its business while the capital market suffers from volatility and unpredictability.

Volvo (VLVLY)

Another Sweden-based EV maker, Volvo is one of the most popular companies globally in the world of electric vehicles. Interestingly, this company’s focus on the EV sector isn’t limited to passenger vehicles. The company also produces and distributes buses, trucks and construction equipment.

This is a segment I think is worth looking at. The company’s production in these niche areas of the market is picking up. As of early October, Volvo announced the supply of 20 heavy-duty, fully electric trucks to Amazon in Germany. These trucks have the expected capacity to drive for one million kilometers in a year, and have the potential to curtail Germany’s domestic transport emissions — 36% of which are caused by heavy goods and commercial vehicles.

Volvo has also increased its production of electric trucks for regional and inter-city use, setting an important milestone for decarbonization. Moreover, this global EV manufacturer says that approximately 50% of its new truck sales will be fuel-cell electric or battery-operated by 2030.

Volvo also plans to make battery modules at its Belgium plant in 2025. As per company sources, this will help Volvo develop a future value chain for its battery systems. Thus, I think this is one of the top EV stocks to consider in terms of growth upside moving forward.

Electric Vehicle Sales Predicted to Increase Nearly 800%

October 28, 2022 By admin Leave a Comment

In this Article

  • New wave of EV designs
  • The reasoning behind this is simple
  • Changing habits and behavior
  • Sales in the U.S. almost doubled
  • The real winner is the army of materials suppliers

Remember back in the simpler days of the 2010s when electric vehicles (EVs) were almost nonexistent? Back then, driving past a Tesla merited a call home. 

I think it’s safe to say those days are over. 

Every major automaker has either released a solid competitor to Tesla or has one in the works. I've started playing a little game called “EV Bingo” every time I spot a new one in the wild.

This week's new sighting looks and acts like a regular truck, but the missing tailpipe and suspiciously futuristic taillights are a dead giveaway.

The Ford F-150 Lightning has officially been on the road since January, but it's the first time I've spotted it outside of dealership lots — or perhaps the first time I've noticed it wasn't just a regular F-150.

Aside from the crisp LED light bar and dead-silent motor, the Lightning resembles any other new truck on the road. There are no wheel covers, excessive aerodynamics, or other futuristic adornments to speak of. 

That’s the most interesting factor of this new wave of EV designs. They're no longer modeled after TRON-style spaceships with smooth curves and quirky add-ons, like BMW’s adorable yet slightly goofy i3.

Instead, they now blend seamlessly with their respective company’s signature style. The Volkswagen ID.5, for example, has almost the same design as its gas-powered cousins — plus a few more curves.

Or take the Honda Prologue, the long-awaited EV crossover from one of the world’s top consumer car brands. Its admittedly sterile design almost resembles a stretched-out version of the CR-V.

As someone who personally had a soft spot for the sci-fi designs of yesteryear, I can't help but think one thing: These new EVs are BORING!

Of Course, I Mean That in the Best of Ways

The reasoning behind this is simple: Regular people are buying EVs, not just avid environmentalists or EV enthusiasts. And your average driver isn’t looking for something out of Speed Racer. 

[MAJOR BUY ALERT: EVs/Wall Street/Gains]

Back when the BMW i3 was one of the few EVs on the road, its range was only around 80 miles on a good day. Public charging was practically nonexistent, so the average driver was hardly likely to switch over to electric. 

And who could blame them? Running out of juice on the roadside means an automatic call to a tow truck rather than a quick hitchhike to the nearest gas station. 

Repairs and maintenance are another factor. If the battery pack goes up in flames, who can replace it? Tesla owners have recently hit the news with horror stories about absurd repair and replacement costs.

Today, the average EV range is well above 200 miles, charging stations are cheaper and more abundant, and batteries are getting cheaper every day. Yet millions of drivers are still anxious about giving up the convenience of their gas vehicles. 

I’ll admit I underestimate how attached some drivers are to their cars, but it goes deeper than just the car itself.

It’s the Gas Devil You Know Versus the Electric Devil You Don’t 

Changing to a new type of vehicle comes with changed habits and behavior. Some drivers out there have potentially been filling up the same car at the same gas station for decades. 

Entrenched behavior like that doesn't go away overnight. For some, a new EV will need to drive itself, pour drinks, and assemble sandwiches before the diehards will ditch their internal combustion engines (ICEs). 

But for many others, the differences between EVs and ICEs are becoming more tolerable. 

Sales in the U.S. almost doubled between 2021 and 2022, and experts forecast a nearly 800% increase by the end of the decade. 

Source: energyandcapital.com

The total market is currently valued at $380 billion. By the end of the decade, that could swell into the trillions. 

[Exculsive: New Vehicle Shocks EV Market]

Source: energyandcapital.com

The tide is turning, and the standard boringness of the most recent EV models is a telltale sign. Automakers are preparing to shift their target demographic to everyone. 

It’s going to be a beast of a transition, but the real winner is the army of suppliers needed to overhaul one of the biggest supply chains on Earth. 

Some components are the same regardless of the car — aluminum, steel, plastic, etc. are still needed in about the same quantities. But other materials are entirely unique to EVs. 

Lithium is the obvious example. ICEs usually have a few small batteries here and there but nowhere near the amount needed for an EV battery. 

EV makers have been focusing so hard on securing a lithium supply that they neglected some equally important materials. 

In many ways, the “lithium rush” pales in comparison to the “Imperial Metals” rush.

These elements aren't used in batteries. Instead, they power the other half of the equation: the motor. 

Without these “Imperial Metals,” not a single electric motor on the planet would turn. That kills not only EVs but just about every power generation turbine, which is nothing but an electric motor in reverse. 

Think about that — EVs would be off the table, and we wouldn't have a way to generate electricity to power them anyway. 

We’re tracking a company that thinks it has solved the problem in a bizarrely creative way. It’s a unique solution to the next great metals crisis that doesn’t involve China, the current leader in “Imperial Metals.”

This transition is coming. Make sure your investments are squared away before these stocks go through the roof.

This Lithium Stock Could Build Generational Wealth

October 25, 2022 By admin Leave a Comment

SQM stock is a terrific value, and the lithium miner's dividends are electrifying

  • Sociedad Quimica y Minera de Chile (SQM) stock is trading at a very reasonable value, and the company’s financials are outstanding.
  • The company expects to sell massive quantities of high-need lithium this year.
  • Investors can look to SQM stock as an intriguing, pure play on the lithium boom of the 2020s.

Here’s a name you might not be very familiar with: Sociedad Quimica y Minera de Chile (NYSE:SQM). That’s a mouthful, but SQM stock could have generational wealth-building potential as the company extracts vast quantities of lithium.

This will be essential for electric vehicles and especially their batteries in the coming years. As we’ll see, Sociedad Quimica’s financial growth already indicates a powerful upward trajectory for the company, and for the global lithium industry in general.

Sociedad Quimica is a Chilean mining company, and some traders might not have much experience with international investments. However, you’re encouraged to venture outside of your comfort zone today.

After all, the EV revolution is an unstoppable phenomenon that has no borders. EV battery manufacturers will need a whole lot of lithium – and Sociedad Quimica is more than happy to meet the insatiable demand for the crucial white metal.

What’s Happening with SQM Stock?

Even though many stocks have underperformed in 2022 so far, SQM stock was firmly in the green as of Oct. 21. Perhaps the trading community is finally waking up to the supply-versus-demand imbalance in the lithium market.

Or, maybe some investors are actually venturing outside of U.S.-based commodities businesses to look for outstanding values. Sociedad Quimica certainly fits this description, as the company’s trailing 12-month price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is quite reasonable at 12.91.

Maybe some income-focused investors are making their move with SQM stock, as well. We can’t really blame them, as Sociedad Quimica pays an extremely generous forward annual dividend yield of 12.52%.

Besides, if you’re looking for a highly active, pure-play lithium miner, you won’t do much better than Sociedad Quimica. If you can believe it, the company expects its 2022 lithium sales volume to reach approximately 145,000 tons.

[Alert: 1-Stock With Potential 10x Gains (Yes, Even In This Market)]

Growth Isn’t Reflected in SQM Shares, Yet

Suffice it to say that Sociedad Quimica is among the world’s most ambitious lithium producers. Impressively, Sociedad Quimica increased its lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide production from “approximately 45,000 metric tons per year to 150,000 metric tons in the past three years.”

Has this lithium production ramp-up resulted in firmer financials for Sociedad Quimica? The answer is definitely yes, and there’s data to prove it.

During 2022’s second quarter, Sociedad Quimica’s total revenue jumped 342% year-over-year (YOY) to nearly $2.6 billion. That’s just an appetizer, though. During the same time frame, Sociedad Quimica posted multiple data points indicating outstanding financial growth:

[Don't Miss: Enrique Abeyta Prediction – My #1 EV Stock for 2022]

  • Gross profit up 598% to $1.3 billion
  • Net income up 857% to $859 million
  • Adjusted adjusted earnings before depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) up 531% to $1.3 billion
  • Earnings per share up 857% to $3.01

And here’s the real kicker: On a YOY basis, Sociedad Quimica’s lithium-segment revenue soared 1,033% to roughly $1.8 billion. Given these startling stats, it’s surprising that SQM stock hasn’t moved more than it actually did during the past 12 months.

What You Can Do Now

It’s possible that Sociedad Quimica’s moon-shot moment will happen in the near future. Sometimes, the market just needs time to fully appreciate the value of an asset.

Of all the world’s lithium producers, Sociedad Quimica is among the most active and financially fruitful. Even stubborn skeptics can’t deny the company’s revenue and profit growth. So, for compelling value, hefty dividend payments and a pure play on the fast-expanding lithium market, feel free to start a position in SQM stock.

Turning Clean Energy Solutions Into Profit

  • Overtaxed Power is a National Problem
  • America’s Failing Energy Infrastructure
  • Turning Clean Energy Solutions Into Profit

California is canceling the gas car.

On August 18, Governor Gavin Newsom notched a win when the California Air Resources Board approved his plan to phase out gas cars…

Starting in 2026, 35% of cars sold must be electric vehicles (EVs). That will increase to 100% EVs by 2035.

This is the same California that’s been battling power outages every summer. In 2020, a series of rolling blackouts left over 500,000 residents without power.

Between 2017 and 2019, the state saw its blackouts increase by about 20% yearly… for a total of more than 50,000 in just two years.

But California isn’t alone here. Overtaxed power infrastructure is a national problem.

The U.S. built most of its power grids in the 1950s and ‘60s. And we only designed the grids to last 50 years before needing major overhauls.

A portion of the monthly electric rates we pay is supposed to go toward maintaining and upgrading these grids… But all too often, utility companies put off major improvements in favor of profits.

And the result is a 10x increase in power outages affecting 50,000 people or more since the 1980s.

On top of that, outages from major storms like hurricanes and blizzards have more than doubled over the past 20 years. 

In 2020 alone, the average American experienced over eight hours of power disruption – a 73% increase from 2019.

So California’s already taxed power grid will have to support the charging of an estimated 32 million EVs in the coming decade… That’s going to be a big problem.

Here’s why I’m telling you this…

As Daily editor Teeka Tiwari says, “With every big crisis comes even bigger opportunities…”

And today, we have a chance to invest in a solution for America’s energy crisis.

[Louis Navellier: The #1 Electric Vehicle (EV) Battery Stock of 2022]

America’s Failing Energy Infrastructure

When President Joe Biden signed the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act late last year, Congress earmarked about $65 billion to improve the nation’s power grid.

That number is woefully short of the estimated $7 trillion needed to modernize our current power infrastructure.

As a result, Congress has spent the months since trying to stretch those dollars by promoting “distributed energy resources,”… a fancy way of telling Americans that they’ll have to become their own mini-power grids.

California is a party to this strategy. It now offers several programs that reward homeowners for installing distributed energy resources like solar panels and energy storage systems (ESS).

Some utilities will offer a $1,000 rebate for every kilowatt-hour (kWh) of ESS installed. And California will pause property tax rate hikes until 2024 on properties that install solar panels.

Along with other federal and regional incentives, California hopes these efforts are enough to decentralize the grid for the coming EV wave… And this is where we’ll find opportunity.

Turning Clean Energy Solutions Into Profit

California is home to over 39 million people. More than Canada or Australia. And it would be the world’s fifth-largest GDP if it were a nation… so it uses a lot of electricity.

Add in the seven other states that intend to follow California’s lead… and that’s 40% of the nation’s car sales going electric over the next thirteen years.

So an estimated 57.8 million homes are likely to adopt ESS to keep them charged.

You can get immediate exposure to this trend by investing in the iShares Global Clean Energy ETF (ICLN)…

The ICLN index fund holds large, established companies. So the growth potential isn’t the same as a private start-up… But it’s up 6% year-to-date compared to the Nasdaq’s 23% decline.

It will also give you broad market exposure to companies like Enphase Energy and SolarEdge Technologies.

Enphase is one of the largest producers of home ESS. And SolarEdge builds power management systems for home solar panels.

So as waves of consumers adopt EVs and home ESS over the next two years, I believe ICLN could double your money in that same period.

And if current trends are any indication, it’s only a matter of time before even more Americans make the switch… so preparing for that today could potentially set you up for a windfall of profits in the years ahead.

Invest with conviction,

MAJOR BUY ALERT: EVs/Wall Street/Gains

August 19, 2022 By admin Leave a Comment

I recently traveled to New York…

And after what I saw there, I'm ready to put my reputation on the line. 

I spent 25 years on Wall Street, where I managed several billion-dollar hedge funds. 

The Wall Street Journal, CNBC, Barron's, Institutional Investor, Forbes, Business Insider, and Bloomberg all have my number on speed-dial.

But once they get a load of what I've discovered, my phone will be ringing off the hook! 

It involves $520.2 billion in smart money… the biggest names in Wall Street… and a surprising new player in the $1.3 trillion EV boom.

See for yourself!

If you buy just one stock in 2022, I believe it should be this one.

New Vehicle Shocks EV Market

August 19, 2022 By admin Leave a Comment

The Wall Street Journal calls it “an American manufacturing triumph.” 

The vehicle that could finally take EVs mainstream. 

It's shockingly cheap – as much as 50% cheaper than the competition. 

It has 775 pound-feet of torque. 

And it can even power a home for up to 10 days. 

Until now, this was just a pipe dream. But now it's a reality. Right now. 

But the best is yet to come…

The stage is now set for the automaker behind this vehicle to make a MAJOR move.

One that could send Wall Street into a buying frenzy.

Enrique Abeyta Prediction: My #1 EV Stock for 2022

August 17, 2022 By admin Leave a Comment

Presented by Empire Research

Will This New Vehicle Take Over
the Exploding EV Industry?

The Wall Street Journal calls it “an American manufacturing triumph.”
It promises to revolutionize the driving experience and hand investors MASSIVE profits.
And on Thursday, October 27, the truth comes out…

His name is Enrique Abeyta.

And he’s proof that the American dream is alive and well.

Born into extreme poverty, he spent his childhood bouncing between cheap motels and run-down apartments.

His father was an alcoholic truck driver and hairdresser, his mother a political exile from Uruguay.

But even though the odds were stacked against him, Abeyta was a gifted student… ranked second highest in his graduating class… and won an internship in the office of Senator John McCain.

He went to the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School, the oldest and most prestigious business school in America.

Abeyta’s fellow alumni include Warren Buffett… Elon Musk… former President Donald Trump… Peter Lynch… and current and former CEOs of Apple, Alphabet, Pfizer, and Johnson & Johnson.

At Wharton, he learned how to invest… rose to be the editor-in-chief of The Red and Blue, a conservative newspaper… and once again graduated near the top of his class.

Abeyta moved to New York, where he worked as a banker at Lehman Brothers.

In 2001, he launched his first hedge fund… grew its assets from $585,000 to $800 million, a 130,000% increase… and beat the market nearly 17 times over.

6

Throughout his career, Enrique Abeyta’s raised over $2 billion in investment capital from over 100 institutional, pension, family office and high-net worth investors.

He’s made his clients double, triple, and even 8 times their money.

  • 102% in 19 months
  • 103% in 26 months
  • 112% in 25 months
  • 168% in 22 months
  • 230% in 23 months
  • 240% in 24 months
  • 788% in 10 months

And he’s been profiled by The Wall Street Journal, CNBC, Barron’s, Institutional Investor, Forbes, Business Insider, and Bloomberg.

But Abeyta’s never forgotten where he came from.

After he made his first two million, he wrote his mother a check for 750 grand – and told her she never had to work again.

He proudly supports our troops and has helped numerous vets find success on Wall Street.

And he turned down a seven-figure job offer to return with his family to his hometown in Arizona – and to be a good father to his three young children.

Today, Enrique Abeyta writes for one of the top financial research firms in the world… and he’s pounding the table on a $12 stock that he believes EVERYONE should own.

This company is an automaker that’s at the center of the global shift to electric vehicles (or EVs).

It’s just launched a vehicle that the Wall Street Journal calls “an American manufacturing triumph.”

And Enrique Abeyta believes this vehicle will outsell anything released by Tesla, Rivian, or any other trending EV start-up.

But if you want the chance to make money from this launch, you must take action before Thursday, October 27.

And now, for the first time, Abeyta will blow the lid off this little-known investment story and detail his #1 EV stock for 2022.

Stay tuned…

Hi, I’m Enrique Abeyta. And I’m going to tell you about the biggest economic story that the mainstream press is completely missing.

Despite all the round-the-clock news coverage of red-hot inflation, the war in Ukraine, and the stock market bloodbath…

Most people have no idea this is happening.

As we speak, the world’s smartest money is currently gearing up for what could be the most lucrative sea change in 109 years.

Nearly every bank, brokerage, endowment, insurer, and hedge fund on the face of the planet is pouring a total of $520 BILLION into what I call the “Master Reset” of the automobile industry.

And if you ride their coattails, you could turn a small stake into a MASSIVE return over the long term.

After all, we're talking about a $3.8 trillion market that'll be rebuilt virtually from scratch…

And grow faster than crypto, artificial intelligence, and cloud computing COMBINED.

Cal-Berkeley professor and Secretary of Labor finalist Harley Shaiken says…

And former Nissan Executive Andy Palmer says…

I’m talking about the industry-wide move to electric vehicles (EVs)…

A paradigm shift that’s set to erase more than 1 million jobs worldwide… slash the property values in multiple towns and cities across America… and devastate a group of stocks famed for their “recession-proof” status…

While simultaneously contributing $1.3 trillion to U.S. GDP… adding two jobs for every job lost… and handing savvy investors the chance to see extraordinary gains.13141516171819202122

The charts you see here are all the best examples of EV stocks that could’ve handed you ten times your money… thirty times your money… and even higher.

But if you think the train has left the station, that couldn’t be further from the truth.

I predict that a combination of…

  • An opportunity to put as much as $38,129 in your pocket…
  • A new technology that could enable you to earn $5,000 a year without working or investing…
  • Another tech that’s set to make charging an electric car as quick and convenient as filling up a gas tank…
  • And a steep markdown in EV prices…

Will make consumers “go electric” far faster than most people expect.

My proprietary research – which is based on a survey of more than 1,100 automotive executives across 31 countries – indicates that…

The EV market is set to grow by an average of 133% every year.

Now here’s the part of this story that most people are completely in the dark about…

You see, if you listen to the mainstream press, you’d think Tesla, Rivian, or some “breakthrough” battery maker will dominate this market.

But I predict that one unexpected automaker will outsell all of them. 

My #1 EV stock for 2022 just launched a new vehicle that’s up to 50% cheaperthan the competition.

It’s the first electric version of a line of vehicles that singlehandedly makes more money than McDonald’s, Nike, Coca-Cola, and Starbucks.

If any EV can take this movement mainstream, it’s this one.

And the top brass at this firm knows it.

Its executive chairman recently bought $13 million worth of shares…

This is a company that I believe EVERYONE should own.

And at just $12 a share, it’s also a stock that everyone can afford.

But here’s the main reason I’m pounding the table on this stock…

I believe it’s about to make a HISTORIC business move that could take its shares even higher.

It involves Wall Street’s favorite seven-letter word.

It’s a word that billionaire hedge fund manager Joel Greenblatt says can “make you a lot of money.”

33

And that Peter Lynch – one of the greatest investors of all time – says “often results in astoundingly lucrative investments.”

34

And if you hear me out, I’ll both blow the lid off this major move – and give you the full scoop on my #1 EV stock for 2022.

You’ll want to move on this special situation quickly.

That’s because if you don’t position yourself for this set-up by October 27, you run the risk of missing out on this once-in-a-decade opportunity.

In My Entire 25-Year Wall Street Career, I’ve Never Seen Anything Like This…

That said, I can understand if you’re hesitant to buy stocks right now. 

Inflation is at a 40-year high. 

The Fed is hiking interest rates and slashing its balance sheet by as much as $95 billion a month.

And the Dow is down nearly five thousand points since the start of the year. 

But here’s the thing…

The last time market fears were this wild, I showed my readers the chance to make a TON of money. 

It was March 2020. 

And I got in front of a camera with Wall Street legend Whitney Tilson and called it “the best investing opportunity of the past decade.”

We recommended two baskets of stocks, one conservative and one speculative.

Now, get this… The conservative stocks soared by an average peak of 115%.

The speculative picks went up by an average peak of 341%.

And our biggest winner – Penn National Gaming – jumped by as much as 837%.

46

And even with the recent market rout, all but one of these positions are still in the green.

What’s more, many of them remain up by 100% or more.

But as amazing as that opportunity was, I don’t think it holds a candle to this set-up in the EV space.

That’s because “Master Resets” are once-in-a-decade economic events that give investors the chance to generate extraordinary returns. 

So if you regret missing out on the Covid-19 market rebound, you’ll doubly regret missing out on this.  

I’ll give you all the details on the $12 stock at the heart of this game-changer – and why you need to swing into action by October 27.

How A Few Self-Taught Tech Wizards 
Triggered an Ultra-Lucrative “Master Reset”

But before you do anything, you need to understand “Master Resets.”

That’s when a new technology or product comes along that changes the face of an industry in one fell swoop.

Consider the computer business…

For the better part of the 21st century, this industry was dominated by IBM and a group of companies commonly known as the “Seven Dwarfs”: Burroughs, Control Data, General Electric, Honeywell, NCR, RCA, and UNIVAC.

These companies made mainframe computers.

They were as big as a room… could only be operated by trained technicians… and cost $4.6 million a pop.

50

Only deep-pocketed corporations, universities, and research centers could afford them.

But in the 1970s, a group of self-taught tech enthusiasts entered the picture.  

They used cutting-edge microprocessor technology to build computers that could sit on your desk… required no extensive training to operate… and were 99.9% cheaper than the mainframe computers of the time. 

51

Investors who realized this innovation had triggered a Master Reset made off like bandits.

Intel – the manufacturer of those microprocessors – soared by as much as 34,106%…

52

Apple – the maker of the first pre-assembled personal computers – rose by as much as 181,088%.

53

And Microsoft – the developer of the most popular operating system for PCs – climbed up to 558,905%.

54

But investors who dismissed PCs as fads fared horribly.

IBM – which once commanded 70% of the market – is down 37% from its 2013 peak.

56

And the so-called Seven Dwarfs have done even worse.

One analyst compared holding Control Data to “watching paint dry.”

57

And Unisys – a merger of UNIVAC and Burroughs – is down 96% from its dot-com bubble peak.

58

Had you invested in Unisys, every $10,000 invested would be worth just $400 today.

When Jeff Bezos Triggered Retail’s Master
Reset, Some Folks Made Millions and Others
Lost EVERYTHING

That’s because when Master Resets happen, some fortunes are minted – and some are ERASED.

Just look at retail.

By the end of the 20th century, a group of department stores had DOMINATED this sector.

They succeeded with one simple business strategy: accept lower margins in exchange for higher volume. 

This model was highly lucrative for DECADES – until 1995, when a Wall Street quant named Jeff Bezos discovered a way to take everything that worked about this model… and make it even better.

Bezos saw that by selling products online and taking storefronts out of the equation, he could achieve both high volume and high margins.

Hardly anyone realized it at the time, but Bezos had just set off retail’s Master Reset. 

And the savvy few who recognized the Amazon founder’s achievement could’ve built extraordinary wealth.

Amazon soared by as much as 190,440%…

59

And its fellow e-commerce pioneer eBay surged up to 9,974%.

60

On the other hand, investors who bet on brick-and-mortar retailers got wiped out.

When Sears filed for bankruptcy in 2018, shares plummeted by 87%.

64

Circuit City, Toys “R” Us, Neiman Marcus, and JCPenney have all gone bankrupt too.

You see, there are two sides to every Master Reset…

The winners that seal one’s financial freedom – and the losers that take away your freedom when they go down.

AT&T Is Still Recovering from Telecom’s 
Master Reset

Just look at the telecom industry.

For more than 100 years, landlines were the only game in town – and AT&T had a monopoly on them.

But in the early 1980s, two things happened that set telecom’s Master Reset in motion.

First, the U.S. government forced AT&T to split up into eight different companies, dissolving its stranglehold on the industry.

Then, the Federal Communications Commission (the FCC) started distributing spectrum licenses to run the cellphone systems in 30 major American cities.

Anybody could apply for these licenses. All you needed was money… an entrepreneurial spirit… and a TON of gumption.

This system paved the way for a group of scrappy upstarts to gain market share as the cellular revolution took shape.

Mobile phone maker BlackBerry surged by as much as 7,567%…

69

Motorola – maker of the legendary DynaTAC cellphone – went up to 42,164%.

70

And cellular chipmaker Qualcomm rose by as much as 50,688%.

71

By getting in on these companies before their industries underwent a Master Reset, you could’ve booked MASSIVE gains.

Of course, the key is to get into the right stock… Not every one of them will be a success story.

There are bound to be some that just don’t pass muster. The point here is to highlight the potential.

And you know who didn’t see cellphones’ disruptive potential? AT&T.

In fact, in 1980, AT&T commissioned a study that claimed there would be only 900,000 U.S. mobile phone users by the year 2000.

They couldn’t have been further off. By 2000, 100 MILLION Americans owned cellphones.

That’s more than 100 times the number AT&T predicted. 

And folks who trusted AT&T and put their money on the telecom giant went on to sorely regret it.

The stock’s been cut in half since its 1999 peak.  

72

If you had bought at the top and staked $10,000, you’d have lost more than $5,000 by now.

If you don’t want that to happen to you, you must read this in full.

More Than $20.9 Billion in Retirement 
Savings Is at Risk

The auto industry’s Master Reset will have MAJOR consequences for American retirees and those approaching retirement.

In fact, at least $20.9 BILLION of retirement savings is tied up in this sector.

And I believe the Master Reset it’s about to undergo will make the revolutions in personal computing, retail, and telecom look TINY.

We’re talking about a complete overhaul.

Assembly lines will be stripped out of factories and replaced with completely autonomous ones…

Entire plants will become immediately obsolete and shuttered on the spot…

And more than 1 million jobs will disappear without a trace… joining the ranks of switchboard operators, typesetters, and film projectionists… jobs eradicated by technological advances.

Volkswagen’s CEO Scott Keogh describes it as “one of the biggest industrial transformations probably in the history of capitalism.”

73

But here’s the funny part…

People who see the writing on the wall won’t be weeping over this development – they’ll be CHEERING. 

That’s because the auto industry’s Master Reset is set to…

  • Put as much as $38,129 back in consumers’ pockets…
  • Give drivers the chance to make up to $5,000 a year by doing virtually NOTHING…
  • Provide as much as 10 days of backup power during natural disasters…
  • And give investors dozens of chances to multiply their money many times over.

And listen, if that last point gives you pause, just feast your eyes on all these winners.

74

2,689%… 4,661%… 9,514%… 11,603%… 38,821%… These trough-to-peak returns are jaw-dropping.

I’ve identified no less than 28 examples of companies powering this Master Reset that’ve surged by 100% or more…

Half of which have gone up by 1,000% or more over the years.

What’s more, the biggest gains could still lie ahead.

According to the New York Times,

“Demand for electric cars is so strong that manufacturers are requiring buyers to put down deposits months in advance” and “their rapid growth could make 2022 the year when the march of battery-powered cars became unstoppable.”

The Guardian recently reported that “electric vehicles are close to the ‘tipping point’ of rapid mass adoption.”

Now, here’s the part that should make you want to jump out of your seat and log in to your brokerage account…

That tipping point may have just been reached. 

Bloomberg recently performed an analysis of EV adoption rates around the world.

They found that once EVs make up 5% of all new car sales, you see adoption take off at lightning speed.

Just look at what happened in Finland when it crossed the 5% mark in 2018. Just three years later, EVs commanded 31% market share.

74

Or look at Sweden. It crossed the 5% mark in 2017. Today, nearly half of all new cars sold in Sweden are electric.

74

Iceland crossed the 5% mark in 2016. By 2019, EVs controlled nearly 25% of the market. Two years later, 72%!

74

Norway passed the 5% mark back in 2013. Three years later, it passed the 26% mark. Now 86% of new cars rolling out of dealerships are electric.

74

Now get this. The U.S. just crossed 5%. That means EVs could control 25% of the domestic auto market by 2025… and 75% by 2029. 

That’s FAR ahead of most major forecasts. And it’s not just the U.S…

South Korea, New Zealand, Germany, Italy and France have ALL recently crossed the 5% mark. And Canada, Australia and Spain are set to hit it this year.

This signals that EVs are not just a gimmick or a fad – they’re ushering in a true Master Res et of the auto industry. 

And I believe ONE automaker will lead this Master Reset – and give folks the chance to turn a small stake into a huge return.

It just launched a vehicle that could easily become the bestselling EV of all time. Heck, it could make the Tesla Model 3 look like the Ford Pinto!

In a moment, I’ll give you the details on this $12 stock, so you can secure a spot on this potential rocket ride… which is set to take off as soon as October 27.

The Auto Industry’s Master Reset

But first, to give you an idea of just how big EVs could become, take a look at the brands below…

  • Jaguar
  • Alfa Romeo
  • Lotus
  • Bentley
  • Cadillac
  • Lexus
  • Mercedes-Benz
  • Mini
  • Rolls-Royce
  • Volvo
  • Audi
  • Chevrolet
  • GMC
  • Buick

Every single one of these major auto brands will soon be 100% electric.

The big-name automakers behind these brands are backing up the truck in a major way.

Mercedes has put down $47 billion. It’s introducing 10 new EVs in this year alone.

General Motors is pushing $35 billion to the center of the table. It’s received more than 65,000 reservations for its electric GMC Hummer pickups and SUVs.

And Volkswagen’s earmarked a staggering $180 billion for EVs. VW plans to deliver a million electric cars annually and build six giga factories across Europe to cover battery demand.

All told, automakers are investing $575 billion to make sure they don’t get left behind by this Master Reset.

78

Why are companies that once scoffed at EVs suddenly pouring boatloads of cash into them?

I’ll tell you one thing: It’s not because they want to save the environment.

It’s because the outsized benefits of owning an EV will soon become impossible to ignore…

So much so that no consumer with even a scrap of common sense will choose gas over electric. 

Let me to break them down for you…

EV Benefit #1: They’ll Save You up to $38,129
in Fuel, Maintenance, and Repair Costs Over the Life 
of the Vehicle

Consumer Reports recently found that EV owners save as much as $15,000 on fueling costs over the life of their vehicle.

Keep in mind, this model assumes a $3-a-gallon gas price.

At current prices, certain EV drivers will enjoy fuel savings of $24,843.

Meanwhile, higher gas prices mean that motorists who stick with gas-powered vehicles will incur $2,000 in additional costs in 2022 alone.

That’s according to Yardeni Research, one of the top economic thinktanks in the world.

But listen, fuel savings are just the tip of the iceberg. Maintenance savings are a massive factor as well.

Consider… the drivetrain on a regular car contains more than 2,000 moving parts.

An EV has just 20.

Spark plugs, catalytic converters, ignition coils, oxygen sensors: all the parts that make your mechanic jump for joy when they break… they're nowhere to be found in an EV.

That’s why I urge people to think twice before they invest into formerly “recession-proof” auto parts suppliers like O’Reilly Automotive and Advance Auto Parts.

AAA reports that EV owners save $949 per year in maintenance costs.

Over the life of the vehicle, they’ll save $13,286.

Combine that with the fuel savings, and you’ll get as much as $38,129 back in your pocket just for driving an EV.

79

EV Benefit #2: They Double as Backup Power 
Generators for Up to 10 Days

Remember the Texas Freeze of 2021?

That February, a statewide power outage cost Texas $130 billion… left more than 10 million people without power for days… and caused at least 246 deaths.

But that tragedy was just a piece of a bigger problem.

You see, most power lines were built in the 1950s and 60s – with a 50-year life expectancy.

That’s why annual outages have DOUBLED since 2015… and they’ll only happen more and more as time goes on.

According to the Department of Energy, these outages cost the economy $150 billion a year.

But upgrading the power grid would cost a whopping $2.5 TRILLION.

I wouldn’t count on that happening any time soon.

However, if you own an EV, you may never have to worry about outages again.

That’s because some EVs are set up for “bidirectional charging.”

That means that not only can they use electricity to charge their batteries… they can also send electricity from a charged battery to a house.

This game-changer could save billions of dollars… tens of thousands of homes… and even lives.

And utility companies and automakers alike are diving in with both feet.

PG&E and General Motors just partnered up to test EVs as on-demand power sources in California.

80

But my #1 EV stock for 2022 is way ahead of them. 

This company – which again trades for only $12 a share – just launched a vehicle that can provide full power to your home for three days.

Dial back your energy usage, and it could power your home for 10 days.

81

EV Benefit #3: You Could Earn $5,000 A Year 
Without Working or Investing

Now, let’s say your car is fully charged, and the power’s on in your home…

In this case, you can use your EV battery to make money – without lifting a finger. 

Using Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology, you can send electricity to the power grid.

All you have to do is plug your EV into your home, and once the battery is fully charged, it’ll automatically start selling excess electricity to the grid.

By selling during peak hours, you could make upwards of $5,000 a year.

Over the life of the vehicle, that comes out to $75,000 in risk-free passive income.

And listen, this isn’t science fiction.

There are more than 80 V2G trials taking place around the world.

Marie H. – a participant in one of these trials – said she was able to both make money andcut her electricity bill in half.

BMW is testing V2G in its new EVs.

The Nissan Leaf is already equipped with this tech.

And Volkswagen plans to offer V2G capability for its EVs this year.

So when you buy your first EV, don’t forget to ask if it’s set up for V2G. It could hand you YEARS of income – with all the safety of a 10-year treasury note.

EV Benefit #4: They Could Soon Cost the 
Same as Gas-Powered Vehicles

Since Robert Anderson invented the first EV around 1832, one obstacle has stood in the way of mass adoption: PRICE.

The EVs of the early 20th century cost upwards of $4,000. Only the rich could afford them. 

Then, in 1908, Henry Ford launched the gas-powered Model T. The base model cost just $825, or about $26,000 in today’s dollars.

Inside the next two decades, Ford brought the price down to $370 – and EVs basically disappeared.

But now, nearly 100 years later, a price shift is taking place.

You see, the reason EVs are relatively expensive is because of their lithium-ion batteries. They make up about half the cost of electric cars.

And the price of these batteries has dropped by 97% since 1991.

82

What’s more, they’re only getting cheaper.

Car and Driver reports that falling battery prices “could make an EV car cheaper than a gas car to buy” by 2023.

But batteries aren’t the only reason EVs are rapidly becoming more affordable.

It’s also thanks to “Wright’s Law.”

83

Theodore Wright was an aeronautical engineer who discovered that every time airplane production doubled, the labor requirement was reduced by 10-15%.

In other words…

The more we make of something, the better we get at making it and the cheaper it gets to make.

So if you’ve ever wondered why PCs, TVs and kitchen appliances have become so affordable over the years, it’s because of Wright’s Law.

And with the EV market set to grow by 133% on average every year, Wright’s Law indicates that EVs will just get cheaper and cheaper.

EV Benefit #5: You Could Soon Be Able to 
Recharge Your EV In Less Than Five Minutes

Another big roadblock to EV adoption is charging time.

It currently takes anywhere from 30 minutes to 12 hours to recharge an EV.

If you try to charge an EV any faster than that, it will cause the lithium batteries to overheat and then degrade over time.

However, a team of engineers over at Purdue University has just invented a solution to this problem.

Purdue, by the way, is known as “the cradle of astronauts.”

Nearly a third of all U.S. spaceflights have a Purdue grad on board.

In addition, their engineers were the minds behind the Golden Gate Bridge and the Hoover Dam.

But this new charging cable they’ve devised could go down in history as their crowning achievement. 

It harnesses an alternative cooling method to deliver a fully charged battery in less than five minutes.

That’s roughly the same amount of time it takes to pump your gas!

And here’s the icing on the cake…

This research was funded by my #1 EV stock for 2022.

That means they’ll get first dibs on this breakthrough tech when it’s ready for commercial use.

EV Benefit #6: You’ll Love Driving Them

But if saving you $38,129…

Giving you backup power for up to 10 days…

Enabling you to earn $5,000 a year by doing nothing…

Recharging in under five minutes…

And costing less than a gas-powered vehicle isn’t enough…

EVs are simply a lot of fun to drive.

Even the most basic models have tons of torque and can do 0-60 mph in less than four seconds.

Since they don’t have transmissions or engines that constantly vibrate, they offer an incredibly smooth ride.

And because they don’t require mechanical valves, gears, or fans, they’re whisper-quiet.

The only problem is that EVs are in such high demand, dealers can’t hold on to them for test drives.

One New York Times reporter had to drive around for an hour before he found a model in stock.

But that’s all about to change. No less than 18 new electric models will arrive in dealerships in 2022.

Mark my words…

Once folks take these cars out for a spin, they’ll fall in love – and do everything in their power to get their hands on one.

EV Investors Could’ve Captured Gains as High 
as 3,694%… 4,661%… and 38,821%

But here’s the thing…

Even though I believe the EV revolution will be great for motorists worldwide…

Investors will reap the biggest rewards from this movement.

Every single segment of this red-hot market has dished out explosive gains.

From trough to peak, battery makers like Microvast, Romeo Power and QuantumScape have soared 141%, 237%, and 1,245%…868788

Charging station manufacturers like ChargePoint and Blink have surged 352% and 4,535%…8990

Chinese carmakers like BYD, Kandi Technologies and NIO have gone up 2,689%, 4,400%, and 4,661%…

Startups like Lucid Motors, ElectraMeccanica and Arcimoto have seen gains of 480%, 1,088%, and 3,694%…

And, of course, Tesla has rocketed 38,821% higher.

But there’s one category of this sector that I believe will reap the lion’s share of profits…

And it’s the one that consumers and companies are most excited to see come to fruition.

Consumers have amassed more than 1.6 million reservations worth over $105 billion.

Amazon, FedEx, UPS, Walmart, Merchants Fleet and even the U.S. Postal Service have pledged to put more than 581,000 of these vehicles on the road.

And again, they’re not doing this because they want to save the planet.

They’re doing this because they stand to save more than $21 billion.

This Segment of the EV Market is Projected to Grow by 1,594%

I’m talking about electric trucks. A market projected to grow by 1,594% by 2026.

Electric truck makers like Nikola and Workhorse have gone up 659% and 9,514%.8687

And Rivian – perhaps the most popular company in this category – had the biggest IPO of 2021.

But I believe one company will outsell them all…

It just electrified a line of pickups that generate more than $40 billion in a good year.

That’s more sales than McDonald’s, Nike, Coca-Cola and Starbucks.

And it’s about to get even bigger.

Its new electric model has received nearly 200,000 reservations – forcing the automaker behind it to quadruple its production to meet demand.

It’s easy to see why demand is booming.

This pickup's twin electric motors pack 563 horsepower and 775 pound feet of torque – nearly doubling the stats on the gas model.

It can tow up to 10,000 pounds and has a 2,000-pound maximum payload.

It survived an extreme heat test at 118 degrees Fahrenheit – and DOMINATED the coldest February day in Boulder in 123 years.

And not only is this truck as much as 50% cheaper than the other electric trucks on the market…

A Washington D.C. thinktank found that it’s 17% cheaper than even its gas-powered equivalent.

This truck will take electric vehicles mainstream in a major way – and the smart money knows it.

More than half of its shares are owned by institutional investors.

Bank of America has $1.1 billion worth.

State Street has backed up the truck to the tune of $3.4 billion.

Blackrock’s shares are valued at $5.6 billion.

And Vanguard holds $6.2 billion in stock.

What’s more, its Executive Chairman – just bought $4.5 million worth of shares.

That’s on top of the $8.5 million in shares he snapped up last December.

Here’s a man who knows more about its business than anyone else on the planet – and he’s buying up all the shares he can get!

But it isn’t just the launch of this electric pickup that has investors excited.

I believe this automaker's about to announce a business move that’ll unlock a TON of shareholder value.

According to my analysis, I’m speculating that it will spin off its EV division and turn it into its own independent company.

Now, nothing is certain, but if you really know stocks, you know that spinoffs are like manna from heaven to investors.

Billionaire hedge funder Joel Greenblatt says, “You can make a pile of money investing in spinoffs.”

Peter Lynch – one of the most successful investors of all time – has found that “spinoffs often result in astoundingly lucrative investments.”

And Charlie Munger – Warren Buffett’s right-hand man – believes that “an investment operation that focuses on spinoffs would do exceedingly well.”

The market data backs Munger up.

A McKinsey study analyzed spinoffs over 36 years. It determined “that excess returns are positive over almost all holding periods.”

They’ve generated some of the biggest gains in stock market history.

PayPal (a spinoff of eBay) flew up 907%…

NCR (a spinoff of AT&T) surged 1,110%…

Autoliv (a spinoff of Electrolux) jumped 1,908%…

Expedia (a spinoff of IAC) went up 2,583%…

Agilent Technologies (a spinoff of Hewlett-Packard) soared 2,608%…

And LendingTree (another spinoff of IAC) went up 29,755%.

But here’s my favorite thing about spinoffs… If you own shares of the parent company, you could automatically get tax-free shares of its spinoff for FREE.

So if you buy this automaker today, you’ll get the chance to own both a great, dividend-paying company with massive margins, tons of cash and industry-leading brand loyalty…

And a red-hot startup that could command a sky-high valuation as a pure EV play.

In other words, buying this stock right now is an incredibly low-risk way to invest in the auto industry’s Master Reset that’s just now hitting a tipping point.

And if you get in before October 27 – its next scheduled earnings announcement – you could get shares for a HUGE discount.

Bonus Dossier #1: “My #1 EV Stock for 2022”

I put everything you need to know about this stock in my new investment dossier, “My #1 EV Stock for 2022”.

This dossier will tell you…

  • Why this automaker could easily triple your money
  • How to buy it in any brokerage account
  • How to determine the perfect position size
  • And a full rundown of its fundamentals

And if you act quickly, you can get in at $12, right alongside the big trading houses who are currently loading up on shares. 

The way I see it, you have two options now…

It’s not a tough decision.

When you have the chance to change the course of your financial future, you have to take it. 

Look, I’ve shown my readers across my services multiple chances to make as much as five times… nine times… and even fifteen times their money.

I’ve Given My Readers the Chance to Grow Their Wealth Many Times Over…

For example, I once recommended a space exploration stock called Virgin Galactic.

It’s a huge player in the booming space tourism industry. It’s already locked in $230 million in flight reservations.

When I first start researching the idea, I found out that one of my hedge fund friends was among its largest shareholders. 

We wound up talking about the company for TWO HOURS. He put me in touch with Virgin Galactic’s CEO. 

After I did my own due diligence, I pulled the trigger and recommended the stock to my readers. 

If they sold at its peak, they had the chance to collect a 482% gain.That’s nearly a six-bagger.

A few months later, during the depths of the Covid-19 market crash, I recommended a company called Penn National Gaming. 

Penn’s a casino operator that recently made a big investment in the sports betting boom.

Sports betting is expected to become a $23 billion market by 2026.

But Wall Street claimed the stock “was no longer a value opportunity” and advised investors “to take some money off the table.”

But when I analyzed Penn, I realized that its share price didn’t reflect two hidden assets: real estate on the Las Vegas strip and a video game terminal business. 

Penn became one of the biggest winners of the Covid-19 market recovery, surging 837% in less than a year.

I love taking advantage of market sell-offs like this. For instance, in October 2021, I recommended a special trade on Qualcomm, the global wireless technology leader.

The stock had fallen 11% since September, due to supply chain issues. 

But while I was conducting my research, I found that Qualcomm has beaten earnings expectations, often by a large margin, over the past 16 quarters. A proven history of outperformance.

But we didn’t have to wait for Qualcomm’s next earnings announcement. The stock went on an absolute tear. 

And our special trade recommendation soared 1,418% in just over a month.

That turns $5,000 into $79,000.

Can you imagine the kind of freedom a return like that would give you? 

That’s the type of potential I see in my #1 EV stock for 2022. 

I can send you the dossier detailing this $12 stock at the end of this presentation.

I strongly urge you to buy it before Wednesday, October 27.

But keep in mind…

The EV boom is bigger than any one stock. We’re talking about an entire INDUSTRY getting reset.

Bonus Dossier #2: “The EV Investment Bible

That’s why I just put the finishing touches on a dossier that’ll give you a high-level overview of this millionaire-minting shift.

It’s called “The EV Investment Bible”. Consider it your one-stop shop for EV financial research.

Look, if you think investing in EVs is about picking the right start-up, this is the eye-opener you need.

I’ll go over all the different types of EV stocks… from battery makers to charging station manufacturers and beyond… and break down the pros and cons of each category.

You’ll find out why Tesla’s 50% U.S. market share could be cut in half (or more!) as competition in this space heats up.

You’ll see why batteries are becoming increasingly cheaper along with details on a firm that just made a 1.2-million-mile battery.

You’ll learn more about vehicle-to-grid technology – the EV innovation that could hand you $5,000 a year just for leaving your car in your driveway – and the company that’s patented this technology.

But most importantly, you’ll get my “EV Watchlist,” a basket of four MUST-BUY companies on the frontlines of the auto industry’s Master Reset.

I’ve gone over these stocks with a fine-tooth comb. They all have massive market share… are virtually unknown to the average investor… and provide CRITICAL resources for the big EV rollout.

If you want to make serious money from this Master Reset, these stocks BELONG in your portfolio.

You can see that I’ve designed this dossier to cover ALL your bases.

Bonus Dossier #3: “Seven EV Deathtraps”

That said, with any Master Reset, it’s not enough to simply know the stocks to buy.

You also need to know which stocks aren't worth your time or money.

For every Amazon, there are a hundred Sears.  

So I’ve just put together a list of companies that should be avoided at all costs.

I call it “Seven EV Deathtraps.”

You might be surprised by a few of the names on here.

One of them has attracted a “crowd of retail investors,” according to Bloomberg.

Today, it’s down almost 80% from all-time highs, and I believe it’ll keep on plummeting.

Another is a popular Chinese EV maker that faces a serious risk of getting banned from the New York Stock Exchange.

The SEC just put it on a list of companies that could get delisted if they fail to turn over audit results.

Bottom line: if you have any of these EV deathtraps in your portfolio, all I can say is WATCH OUT.

In a moment, I’ll show you how to claim this dossier and steer clear of these ticking time bombs FOR FREE.

Let me explain…

I Turned Down a Seven-Figure Salary to 
Speak with You Today…

My name, again, is Enrique Abeyta. Now, it might surprise you to hear this…

But even though I received an Ivy League education… enjoyed a 25-year Wall Street career… and have managed billions of dollars for the world’s elite…

I didn’t grow up with a silver spoon in my mouth. Not even close.

I spent my childhood bouncing between cheap motels and run-down apartments.

But even though the odds were stacked against me in every possible way…

Hard work and perseverance turned me into a multimillionaire.

In fact, I keep a deposit slip of the first million in my bank account.

But through it all, I never forgot where I came from.

After I made my first couple mil, I wrote my mother a check for 750 grand – and told her she never had to work again.

I have a lot of military in my family – and I’ve helped about a dozen vets find success on Wall Street.

And after spending nearly three decades in the financial district, I got sick of helping the rich get richer.

I turned down a seven-figure job offer… moved my family back home to Arizona… and started working for a firm with one simple mission: to provide everyday folks with hedge-fund-grade research.

It’s called Empire Financial Research…

And unlike the analysis provided by the big investment banks, our research is independent.

That means we don’t accept kickbacks or commissions in return for recommending certain stocks.

If we recommend a stock, it’s because we truly believe in it.

And if we believe in it, you can bet we’ve studied it from every possible angle.

I Work Side by Side with One of the Greatest Investors Alive

I’m proud to say that my partner in this business is one of the greatest investors alive…

A Wall Street legend who’s given talks at Google, Harvard, Columbia and Wharton, he’s famous for starting a hedge fund firm with only $1 million and building it into a collection of funds with over $200 million under management.

He predicted the dotcom crash in 2000… the housing crisis in 2008… and the collapse of bitcoin in 2017.

In fact, his gift for calling major shifts in the stock market has led CNBC to dub him “the Prophet.”

His name is Whitney Tilson.

And if that name sounds familiar, it could be because he’s been profiled by 60 Minutes, theWall Street Journal, the New York Times, Kiplinger, Forbes and dozens more.

Or it could be because he got in early on some of the biggest stock runs of all time.

He bought Amazon in 1999. Since then, it’s rocketed up to 7,433% higher.

He bought Netflix in 2012. It’s gone up by as much as 8,791%.

And he bought Apple in 2000. It’s soared up to 51,771%.

Imagine… $1,000 in Apple alone could’ve turned into more than half a million bucks.

Now typically to get access to Whitney and me, you’d have to pay me the “2% of assets and 20% of profits” fees we charged at our hedge funds.

Today, you can get me and my team’s best money-making ideas for a pittance – it’s the best bargain on or off Wall Street.

But before I break down this deal for you, let me tell you about one final EV investment I think you should make immediately.

BONUS #4: “The Best Way to Own White Gold”

Now, if you know anything about EVs, you know they’re powered by lithium, the EV market’s “white gold.”

In fact, the EV market makes up almost 80% of lithium-ion battery demand.

As global EV sales have surged from 130,000 in 2012 to 6.6 million today, lithium stocks have rocketed higher too.

Albemarle has shot up by 7,095%.

Sociedad Quimica y Minera has gone up 9,139%.

And Lithium Americas has soared 11,603%.

Lithium is just going up from here. It’s a simple matter of supply and demand.

According to the International Energy Agency, the number of EVs on the road will hit 145 million by 2030.

Not only is that up 21-FOLD from today… these vehicles will require nearly 1.6 MILLION tons of lithium.

And I’ve zeroed in on an easy-to-follow, “one-click” way to play the surge in lithium demand.

It’s a way to essentially own the entire lithium market with one trade.

I’ve put all my research on it into a dossier titled, “The Best Way to Own White Gold”.  

Bottom-line: if you want the chance to make big money from EVs, you need to have these dossiers. Just to recap, they’re…

  • My #1 EV Stock for 2022
  • The EV Investment Bible
  • Seven EV Deathtraps 
  • The Best Way to Own White Gold

These dossiers are the first research you’ll see from me when you start a no-risk, trial subscription to my flagship financial newsletter, Empire Stock Investor.

On the first Wednesday of every month, we’ll send you our latest report and newest money-making recommendation.

We’ll also show you exactly how to allocate a portfolio across our recommendations to maximize your potential gains, just like I did for my hedge fund clients. This way, you’ll never find yourself wondering what you should do with new stocks I recommend.

In 2020, the average annualized gain for Empire Stock Investor was 55.7%.

This return measures the results achieved by all of our recommendations, scaled to a one-year period.

Of course, all investments carry risk. And you should obviously never invest more than you can afford to lose.  

But when the upside is this high, I believe it’s worth it to take a flyer.

Just look at these messages from people who say they’ve made BIG money by following our recommendations.

Thank you for your service and your kind words, Andrew.

Here’s another one…

128

This last one’s from a fellow named Richard M. who’s a testament to the fact that it’s never too late to pick up a profitable new habit.

80 years old and he just started active trading!

129
129

The truth is… I put a high level of energy into everything I do. It doesn’t matter if it’s my investment career or my personal life. 

Yes, I wake up at 5 a.m. every morning, turn on CNBC, turn on Bloomberg, track the market and keep pushinguntil 10 or 11 at night. 

But I’ve also run seven marathons, including five of the six world majors. 

I work hard, and I don’t take any shortcuts. And I’ll do everything in my power to make this service work for you. 

I hope you’re the next one to tell me your success story.

It’s Decision Time

Remember, the auto industry is on the verge of a Master Reset.

The EV market is projected to grow by an average of 133% every year.

Along the way, many people stand to get rich.

That’s why all the big tech companies are piling in.

Amazon has ordered 100,000 electric vans. Soon there won’t be a single combustion vehicle in its delivery fleet.

Apple is accelerating the development of its own fully autonomous EV.

Apple’s chief supplier Foxconn just laid down $8 billion to build a factory to make battery cells and other EV parts. 

Sony, search engine giant Baidu, and smartphone maker Xiaomi are diving in feet-first too.

Every single one of these companies owes its exponential growth to pinpointing and capitalizing on paradigm-shifting technologies.

And that’s exactly what EVs are.

BBC calls this shift “the biggest revolution in motoring since Henry Ford's first production line started turning back in 1913.”

131

EV stocks have exploded 4,535%… 9,514%… and 38,821% higher.132133134

And the biggest gains could still be to come. Think about it…

Wall Street’s big trading houses have poured $520 billion into this movement.

Would they be investing all this money if they didn’t think EVs were the future?

Of course not!

This is your big chance to get ahead of the next major investment trend…

And buy the $12 stock at the center of it all.

It’s just launched a vehicle that could become the bestselling EV of all time.

It’s the first electric version of a line that singlehandedly makes more money than McDonald’s, Nike, Coca-Cola, and Starbucks.

The Wall Street Journal calls it “an American manufacturing triumph.”

131

And it could be on the verge of making a business move that Peter Lynch – one of the greatest investors of all time – says “often results in astoundingly lucrative investments.”

131

Buying this stock could be the great success story of your life. 

And if you don’t get in before October 27, you may never know.

Buy the Best EV Stocks at a Massive Discount…

July 28, 2022 By admin Leave a Comment

Here are seven stocks that could gain significant traction through the second half of 2022

  • The market selloff in tech stocks offers investors a golden opportunity to buy oversold EV stocks at their most attractive valuations in years.
  • ChargePoint (CHPT): The leading name in the electric vehicle charging space more than doubled its Q1 revenue year-over-year.
  • Fisker (FSR): The Fisker Ocean is expected to start production at the Magna plant in November 2022.
  • Lucid Group (LCID): The company announced plans for its first overseas manufacturing facility in Saudi Arabia.
  • Nio (NIO): Deliveries in June jumped 60% year-over-year.
  • Rivian Automative (RIVN): Management is confident about delivering its full-year goal of manufacturing 25,000 EVs in 2022.
  • Tesla (TSLA): Reported selling a record 78,906 electric vehicles in June from its Shanghai factory.
  • XPeng (XPEV): The company announced plans to launch its new flagship SUV, the G9, in September.

Oversold electric vehicle (EV) stocks is our topic for today. The market selloff in tech stocks has provided investors with a golden opportunity to buy high-growth oversold EV stocks at their most attractive valuations in years.

For instance, the Global X Autonomous & Electric Vehicles ETF (NASDAQ:DRIV) is down around 25% year-to-date (YTD) compared with an almost 18% decline in the benchmark S&P 500 index during the same period.

The boom in EV stocks is poised to accelerate in the coming years. The Global EV Outlook 2022 report by International Energy Agency highlights that in 2021, EV sales doubled year-over-year (YOY) to a new record of 6.6 million.

Almost 10% of global car sales were electric in 2021, four times the market share in 2019. Regular InvestorPlace.com readers will likely know growth in EV sales was primarily led by China, accounting for half of the growth.

With that information, here are seven oversold EV stocks that could gain significant traction through the second half of 2022:

ChargePoint Holdings (CHPT)

  • 52-week range: $8.50 – $28.72

ChargePoint (NYSE:CHPT) is the market leader in the EV charging space. It has around 175,000 charging spots across Europe and North America and boasts a market share of over 65%.

On May 31, Chargepoint announced first quarter (Q1) fiscal-year 2023 results. Revenue came in at $81.6 million, increasing 102% YOY. Net loss declined to 27 cents per diluted share, down from 83 cents a year ago. At the end of the quarter, cash and equivalents stood at $541 million.

Revenue generated from networked charging systems came in at $59.6 million, representing an increase of 122% YOY. As Chargepoint continues to expand its network of charging stations, subscription revenues are expected to account for a higher portion of its total revenue.

Management forecasts to bring in revenues of $96 million to $106 million for the second quarter. Such an expansion would represent an increase of roughly 80% YOY.

CHPT stock was recently down 37% YTD. Shares are trading at 15.6 times sales. Meanwhile, the 12-month median price forecast for ChargePoint stock stands at $20.

Fisker (FSR)

  • 52-week range: $7.95 – $23.75

Next up on our list is Fisker (NYSE:FSR), a speculative, pre-revenue EV manufacturer. Fisker Ocean, set to start production in November 2022, is sold exclusively through the Fisker app, i.e., without a dealer network.

Wall Street was initially attracted to its asset-light business model based on contract manufacturing. However, declining investor appetite for pre-revenue companies have taken the focus away from companies like Fisker.

On May 4, Fisker issued Q1 metrics. Net loss came in at 41 cents per diluted share, down from a net loss of 63 cents a year ago. Cash and equivalents ended the period at $1.04 billion.

In Q2, the company announced the launch of its second vehicle, the Fisker PEAR. The new EV model is expected to start production in 2024 at Foxconn’s facility in Ohio. Fisker anticipates reaching an annual manufacturing capacity of 250,000 PEARs in the next couple of years. Additionally, the company plans to manufacture 50,000 cars in 2023 and triple its Ocean SUV model production by 2024. The automaker currently has over 40,000 reservations for the Ocean.

This speculative EV play was recently down 42% YTD. The 12-month median price forecast for FSR stock is $15.

Lucid (LCID)

  • 52-week range: $13.25 – $57.75

Lucid (NASDAQ:LCID) focuses on luxury EVs and developing cutting-edge EV technologies. The vertically integrated company currently manufactures vehicles in Arizona.

The EV maker reported Q1 metrics on May 5. Revenue declined from $313 million to $57.7 million on deliveries of 360 vehicles to customers. Net loss declined to 5 cents per diluted share, down from $89.29 a year ago. Cash and equivalents ended the period at $5.43 billion. Management has reiterated its production volume outlook of 12,000 to 14,000 vehicles for 2022.

On May 18, Lucid announced plans for its first overseas manufacturing facility with its partners in Saudi Arabia. The new factory is expected to bring EV manufacturing to the country with a capacity of 155,000 units. The EV maker has also signed an agreement with the Saudi Arabian government to purchase 50,000 EVs with an option to buy additional 50,000 EVs any time within ten years.

So far in 2022, LCID stock is down 52%. Shares are trading at 394 times sales. Analysts’ 12-month median price forecast for Lucid Group stock is $33.

Nio (NIO)

  • 52-week range: $11.67 – $47.38

Chinese EV group Nio (NYSE:NIO) has been focusing on the premium segment, including technologies in artificial intelligence (AI) and autonomous driving. Over half of the global EV sales come from China. Therefore, Nio’s quarterly metrics get Wall Street’s close attention.

On Jun. 9, Nio announced Q1 results. Revenue came in at $1.56 billion, up 24.2% YOY. Adjusted diluted net loss per share was 13 cents, compared with 3 cents in the prior-year quarter. Cash and equivalents ended the period at $8.4 billion.

Q1 vehicle deliveries grew 28.5% YOY, despite an increase in price for all EV models. Deliveries in June jumped 60% YOY to almost 13,000 vehicles, highlighting the auto industry’s rebound in China. Management expects to begin deliveries of its upcoming new ES7 SUV and revised versions of ES8, ES6, and EC6 SUVs in August.

Meanwhile, Nio is on track to expand its business in Europe beyond Norway to Germany, Sweden, the Netherlands, and Denmark in the coming months. Management projects Q2 revenue to increase by 10.6% to 19.4% YOY, supported by deliveries of 23,000 to 25,000 EVs.

NIO stock has lost about a third of its value this year. Shares are trading at 6.4 times sales. The 12-month median price forecast for Nio stock stands at $30.

Rivian Automotive (RIVN)

  • 52-week range: $19.25 – $179.47

Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN) focuses on electric sport utility vehicles and pickup trucks. Its portfolio of vehicles includes the R1T electric pickup truck, R1S electric SUV, and Electric Delivery Van.

The EV manufacturer reported Q1 financials on May 11. Total production was 2,553 vehicles, generating a revenue of $95 million. Adjusted net loss declined to $1.43 per diluted share, down from $4.10 a year ago. Cash and equivalents ended the period at $16.97 billion.

At the end of Q1, the company boasted a solid backlog of more than 90,000 EVs between its R1T pickup and R1S SUV, as well as 100,000 orders for its commercial delivery van from Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN).

In Q2, Rivian ramped up production with 4,401 vehicles and delivered 4,467 EVs. Management is confident it can deliver its full-year goal of manufacturing 25,000 vehicles in 2022. However, Wall Street is not fully convinced that Rivian can produce at twice the Q2 rate in the second half of the year. Otherwise, Rivian’s full year goal is not attainable.

RIVN stock was recently down nearly 71% YTD. Shares are trading at 192 times sales. Wall Street’s 12-month median price forecast for Rivian stock stands at $45.

Tesla (TSLA)

  • 52-week range: $620.57 – $1,243.49

Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) is currently the global leader in the EV space with a market share of over 60% stateside. However, recent research warns “Tesla’s US EV market share will plummet to just 19% by 2024.”

Tesla issued Q1 results on Apr. 20. Revenue jumped 81% YOY to $18.8 billion. Adjusted earnings came in at $3.22 per diluted share compared to 93 cents a year ago. Cash and equivalents ended the period at $17.51 billion.

Recent pandemic lockdowns in Shanghai have suspended production at Tesla’s most profitable plant. In June, the plant resumed production and sold a record 78,906 vehicles from its Shanghai factory. But in Q2, Tesla delivered only 254,695 vehicles. Before the lockdowns, estimates had been for 350,000 EVs.

Meanwhile, supply chain disruptions have also decreased production at Tesla’s new factories in Germany and Texas. Wall Street is paying close attention to those two new Tesla plants. They should help the EV maker reach the multi-year 50% annual production growth target.

TSLA stock was recently down almost 34% YTD. However, it is still richly valued at 65.8 times forward earnings and 13.7 times sales. Analysts’ 12-month median price forecast for Tesla stock is at $950.

XPeng (XPEV)

  • 52-week range: $18.01 – $56.45

China-based XPeng (NYSE:XPEV) has become highly popular among the growing base of technology-savvy middle-class consumers in the country. Therefore, many analysts watch metrics from XPeng and Nio together. For instance, in June, “XPeng logged a bit more (15,295), but NIO also had a solid month (12,961).”

The EV maker released Q1 financials in late May. Revenue increased 152.6% YOY to $1.18 billion. Adjusted net loss stood at 28 cents per diluted share, up from 13 cents a year ago. Cash and equivalents ended the period at $6.58 billion.

In June, XPeng announced it had reached a milestone of 200,000 cumulative smart EV deliveries. It will also launch a new flagship SUV, the G9, in September.

In 2022, XPEV stock was recently down nearly 42%. Shares are trading at 7.1 times sales. The 12-month median price forecast for Xpeng stock stands at $36.85.
