By -

Updated - Jan. 2, 2025

  • Luminar Technologies, Inc. is making progress with new deals, but financials remain weak, requiring patience for long-term gains.
  • Volvo's EX90 production ramp and a second model with Iris LiDAR promise future revenue growth, despite current low sales.
  • Luminar's insurance program could offer significant savings, potentially making LiDAR cost-effective for consumers.
  • Despite frustrating financials, Luminar's strategic cost savings and production ramp-up suggest better financials by 2026.
The autonomous driving sector continues to heat up, but Luminar Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:LAZR) continues to take steps backwards. The LiDAR sensor company has a ton of potential, but the stock appears stuck until the promises start showing up in the financials. My investment thesis remains ultra-Bullish on the stock over the long term, but patience could be required.

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.
