AEye: SPAC Weakness Ahead

  AEye should close the SPAC deal to become a public company during Q3. The lidar sensor company recently held a virtual investor day without any meaningful news on long-term contracts.

Zoom: Desperate Move To Buy Growth

Image
  Zoom agreed to buy Five9 for $14.7 billion, or ~20x forward revenues. The cloud video communications stock is facing a tough year as enterprises return to the office and forecasted growth slows to below 20x. The stock shouldn't trade at more than 10x forward revenues.

Goodness Growth: Forgotten New York License Holder

  Goodness Growth was lost in the shuffle following a name change and new growth initiatives. The MSO forecasts 2022 revenue of $140 to $180 million for a company exiting Q1 at a $53 million annual run rate. The company owns one of the 10 licenses in New York. The stock trades at only ~6x 2022 EBITDA targets, though a lot is unproven about that target. Looking for a portfolio of ideas like this one? Members of Out Fox The Street get exclusive access to our model portfolio.  Learn More » Vireo Health International changed their name to Goodness Growth Holdings  ( OTCQX:GDNSF )  and the cannabis stock hasn't reacted very well to the new name. With the stock down to $1.70, the market valuation hardly exceeds the value of their license in New York. After this dip and the expanded focus of the business, my  investment thesis  is more bullish on the stock. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha.  Disclosure: No position mentioned.

ChargePoint: Insider Selling Hints At Limited Upside

Image
  ChargePoint insiders have filed to sell up to 13.8 million shares. These selling shareholders will still control ~140 million shares after the offering, placing a cap on the stock until more selling is done. The stock remains insanely expensive at 17x FY24 sales targets. Looking for more investing ideas like this one? Get them exclusively at Out Fox The Street.  Learn More » In no huge surprise, insiders are filing to sell shares of  ChargePoint Holdings  ( CHPT ) with the stock up substantially from the IPO and PIPE prices. The timing though is questionable since ChargePoint has recently fallen from the highs and took another 10% hit on the offering news.

Payoneer: Overblown Risks

Image
Payoneer dipped on a short report questioning their customer base. The company generated payments volume growth in excess of 60% in the last quarter based on e-commerce marketplaces. The stock is cheap based on trading at 5x '22 EV/S targets. This idea was discussed in more depth with members of my private investing community, Out Fox The Street.  Learn More » A  short report  questioned the validity of the  Payoneer Global  ( PAYO ) payments customers just as the company completed a SPAC deal. The stock only slipped slightly back below $10 on what should've been a very negative hit on the prospects of a newly public company. My  investment thesis  remains very bullish on the gig economy payments leader, as the market only now starts learning about the stock.   Update - July 28 So another analyst says $ PAYO  is cheap and the stock drops 4%... perfect sense. Maybe a double bottom here.  Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Josh Siegler initiates coverage on the e-commerce payments platfor

Nextdoor: Promising SPAC, But Too Rich Here

  Nextdoor agrees to a SPAC deal with Khosla Ventures at a $4.3 billion valuation. The neighborhood network company only forecasts 2022 revenues reaching $249 million for 40% growth. At $11, the SPAC is insanely expensive at a '22 EV/S multiple of 16x. Looking for a portfolio of ideas like this one? Members of Out Fox The Street get exclusive access to our model portfolio.  Learn More » Another SPAC with a  promising business combination  is the deal for  Khosla Ventures Acquisition Co. II  ( KVSB ) to acquire Nextdoor. The deal price isn't exactly cheap, so the SPAC hasn't rallied much above $10 despite the promising business model of the social media platform. My investment thesis is tepid on the stock until the SPAC closes and a cheaper multiple emerges. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha.  Disclosure: No position mentioned.

Teladoc Health: Not Turning The Corner Yet

Image
  Teladoc Health has fallen ~50% from the highs as major competition enters the telemedicine space. Analysts have cut out year revenue estimates by substantial amounts.

Members of Out Fox The Street get exclusive access to our model portfolio.  Learn More » Just this year,  Teladoc Health  ( TDOC ) traded as high as $308 and as low as $130. As analysts cut revenue targets for out years, investors have reduced their appetite for the telehealth provider. My  investment thesis  was very negative on the stock at the higher prices going back into 2020, but my view still isn't bullish on Teladoc Health below $160 due to the tough comps this year.
