ChargePoint: Insider Selling Hints At Limited Upside

By -

 

  • 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.

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. My investment thesis remains very negative on the stock and the EV charging station space due to weak financial results and ramping up competition.

Update - July 21

Big problem for other charging stations like $CHPT. Maybe insiders knew $TSLA was going to crush their business model by opening up their Superchargers.

-"We're making our Supercharger network open to other EVs later this year," Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) Technoking Elon Musk tweeted in response to a fan message on Twitter.
-"We created our own connector, as there was no standard back then & Tesla was only maker of long range electric cars," he added. "It's one fairly slim connector for both low & high power charging."
-Tesla operates more than 25,000 Superchargers at 2,700 charging stations worldwide, according to its website. If it opens additional stations in the U.S., it may also be able to tap into government funding like grants, tax rebates or green energy credits.

The stock appears set for a rally, but the long term picture is worse due to more competition.

Aurora Cannabis: Deal Or No Deal

By -
Aurora Cannabis was left out of the major deal making in 2018. The cannabis company updated FQ2 guidance to revenues of $50 to $55 million with a continued focus on pure production growth. The stock is down as the market is becoming less impressed with commodity farming operations due to the prime Oregon example. The stock is below key resistance at $5.40 as medical cannabis patient totals failed to impress. As the end of 2018 came and went,   Aurora Cannabis   ( ACB ) was a notable absentee from the deal making in the cannabis market. Just about all of the other major Canadian cannabis players got large investments or signed up powerful partnerships, but the related stocks didn't generally maintain rallies following the deals. Based on the early legalization data in Canada and Oregon, the best option for Aurora Cannabis might actually be selling production capacity while the Canadian market remains hot.

This idea was discussed in more depth with members of my private investing community, Out Fox The Street.  Learn More »   Update - June 23, 2023 C3.ai has fallen back to earth after the Investor Day meeting. The Deutsche Bank analyst call on the meeting suggests the company still isn't ready to produce actual numbers from the generative AI demand.  C3.ai ( NYSE: AI ) shares  fell more than 8%  on Friday after investment firm Deutsche Bank reiterated its sell rating on the enterprise software company after it held its investor meeting. Analyst Brad Zelnick said the event "left a lot to be desired" as there were  no details on financials, "limited" updates on the company's operations and investors did not really attend the event, despite it being positioned as for them. "While we appreciate the vast opportunity presented by AI, the event did nothing to ease our skepticism on the true differentiation of the company's platform, its traction with custome
