ChargePoint: Still Living On EV Hype

By -

 

  • ChargePoint still has an amazing $4.3 billion market cap, despite selling charging stations mostly at cost.
  • The company still has no meaningful gross profit from subscriptions.
  • The stock is far too expensive at 6x FY24 sales, despite the business burning tons of cash each quarter.
  • This idea was discussed in more depth with members of my private investing community, Out Fox The Street. Learn More » 
Even though ChargePoint Holdings (NYSE:CHPT) is trading closer to the lows now, the stock is still living off EV hype. The stock constantly rallies up to $20 providing a better opportunity for longs to dump shares, but another rally isn't guaranteed as the quarter ahead will ultimately highlight cash burn concerns. My investment thesis remains Bearish on the EV charging station stock.

Update - Dec. 2

ChargePoint missed FQ3'23 revenue estimates, but the company provided mixed results for FQ4. The EV charging station company burned over $80 million of cash in order to grow subscription revenues by $1.5 million in the quarter. 
  • Q3 GAAP EPS of -$0.25 misses by $0.02.
  • Revenue of $125.34M (+92.7% Y/Y) misses by $6.78M.
  • GAAP and Non-GAAP gross margin both improved 1 percentage point quarter-over-quarter.
  • As of October 31, 2022, cash and short term investments on the balance sheet were $397.6 million.
Any weakness tomorrow and ChargePoint could break the strong support recently around $11.50.

Occidental: Still Producing Too Much Oil

Though oil continues plunging, the oil giants continue producing more. For Q4, Occidental Petroleum (OXY) had roughly flat production. The worst part is that OXY plans to grow production by 2% to 4% in 2016. The stock has held up somewhat strong, but the inability to turn off the spigot remains troubling.

ChargePoint: Low Quality Beat

By -

  ChargePoint beat FQ2'22 revenue estimates, but the losses are mounting. The company guided up FY22 numbers partly due to acquisitions. The stock still trades at an estimated 21x FY23 number leaving limited upside for the stock and reinforcing why venture funds sold 13.8 million shares. Looking for a portfolio of ideas like this one?

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.
