Thesis</b></p><p><blockquote><b>投资论文</b></blockquote></p><p> Despite a strong end to 2020, fuelled by investor optimism for all things linked to our clean and green future, this stock appears to be re-rating back to its former valuation multiple.While there are many factors investors will point towards to support a bull thesis, in our opinion many forward-looking projections are overly ambitious and may ultimately be out of reach. We question whether the total addressable market is significant enough for Plug to prosper, particularly in the light of strong competition.</p><p><blockquote>尽管到 2020 年结束时表现强劲，但在投资者对与我们清洁绿色未来相关的所有事物的乐观情绪的推动下，该股似乎被重新评级至之前的估值倍数。虽然投资者会指出许多因素来支持牛市论点，但我们认为许多前瞻性预测过于雄心勃勃，最终可能遥不可及。我们质疑整个潜在市场是否足以让 Plug 蓬勃发展，尤其是在竞争激烈的情况下。</blockquote></p><p> <b>The Background to our thesis</b></p><p><blockquote><b>我们论文的背景</b></blockquote></p><p> Plug Power (PLUG) was a roaring success in the latter part of 2020, increasing by over 400% to its January 2021 peak, before crashing back down to earth as the stock was hit by an&nbsp;accounting scandal.</p><p><blockquote>普拉格能源 (PLUG) 在 2020 年下半年取得了巨大的成功，股价上涨超过 400%，达到 2021 年 1 月的峰值，但由于该股遭受会计丑闻的打击，股价暴跌。</blockquote></p><p> <p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7c03000d0db7000dd850fad52fdd9068\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"403\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p><blockquote><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><span>数据由YCharts提供</span></p></blockquote></p><p> The accounting issues have been covered in detail in the article linked above, so we won’t pore over them in too much detail here, except to say we are big believers in the old adage - “if in doubt, get out.\" An accounting scandal and a restatement of prior year figures is perhaps not the wisest foundations with which to build an investment decision in our opinion.</p><p><blockquote>上面链接的文章已经详细介绍了会计问题，因此我们在这里就不再赘述了，只想说我们非常相信这句古老的格言--“如果有疑问，就出去”。我们认为，会计丑闻和对上一年数据的重述也许并不是做出投资决策的最明智的基础。</blockquote></p><p> Whether an accounting scandal is considered a red flag from an investment thesis or not, most investors would baulk at the thought of investing in a firm with legal concerns and unknown liabilities. Unfortunately, for PLUG stockholders, that is exactly what is laid out in the company’s most recent&nbsp;annual report, with a flurry of legal proceedings being filed in early 2021 off the back of the accounting scandal, adding to earlier proceedings from staff involved in an accident which is yet to be resolved. For many investors, these flags would be enough to deter them from an investment. However, a contrary argument may be that these factors are already priced in and the company's future may be rosier. Let's consider what the future holds for Plug Power.</p><p><blockquote>无论会计丑闻是否被视为投资论文中的危险信号，大多数投资者一想到投资一家存在法律问题和未知负债的公司，都会望而却步。不幸的是，对于 PLUG 的股东来说，这正是该公司最新年度报告中所阐述的内容，2021 年初，由于会计丑闻，公司提起了一系列法律诉讼，加上此前涉及事故的员工提起的诉讼尚未解决。对于许多投资者来说，这些旗帜足以阻止他们投资。然而，相反的论点可能是，这些因素已经被考虑在内，公司的未来可能会更加光明。让我们考虑一下普拉格能源的未来。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Considering Plug Power's Valuation</b></p><p><blockquote><b>考虑Plug Power的估值</b></blockquote></p><p> As long-term growth investors, the consideration of valuation is not normally the first port of call when considering an investment decision. We’ve previously laid out our belief that what seems expensive, often is so for good reason, when laying out a bull thesis for other stocks. However, in this case we think it paints a very different story. When considering the valuation of Plug Power, we note a current enterprise value of $16.1 billion, being a $16.8 billion market cap, deducting $1.3 billion cash and adding $0.6 billion in debt. This gives us a forward looking EV/Sales figure for the next twelve months of 36.</p><p><blockquote>作为长期成长型投资者，在考虑投资决策时，估值的考虑通常不是看涨期权的第一考虑因素。我们之前曾表示，在为其他股票提出牛市论点时，我们认为看似昂贵的东西往往是有充分理由的。然而，在这种情况下，我们认为它描绘了一个非常不同的故事。在考虑普拉格能源的估值时，我们注意到目前的企业价值为 161 亿美元，市值为 168 亿美元，减去 13 亿美元现金并加上 6 亿美元债务。这为我们提供了未来 36 个月未来 12 个月的电动汽车/销售数据。</blockquote></p><p> While the multiple itself is high by most gauges, as we’ve outlined, the number itself is not really our primary concern. If we delve a little deeper into the valuation story, what we can see is a company that traded at 3.8 times its next twelve-month revenues in September 2019 (using the same metrics outlined above). This multiple increased gradually to 12.3 by June 2020, before exploding as high as 56 times next twelve-month sales in December 2020.</p><p><blockquote>正如我们所概述的，虽然从大多数指标来看，倍数本身都很高，但这个数字本身并不是我们最关心的问题。如果我们更深入地研究一下估值故事，我们可以看到一家公司在 2019 年 9 月的交易价格是其未来 12 个月收入的 3.8 倍（使用上述相同的指标）。到 2020 年 6 月，这一倍数逐渐增加到 12.3，然后在 2020 年 12 月的未来 12 个月销售额飙升至 56 倍。</blockquote></p><p> This incredible volatility in valuation multiple does not appear to have been triggered by developing sales or profitability. PLUG's quarter-on-quarter last twelve-month sales increased a modest 50% between September 2019 and September 2020 ($198 million September 2019 and $308 million September 2020). Thereafter a large decline, caused by their accounting irregularities, led to a December 2020 loss of $94 million.</p><p><blockquote>估值倍数的这种令人难以置信的波动似乎不是由销售或盈利能力的增长引发的。PLUG 过去 12 个月的环比销售额在 2019 年 9 月至 2020 年 9 月期间小幅增长了 50%（2019 年 9 月为 1.98 亿美元，2020 年 9 月为 3.08 亿美元）。此后，由于会计违规行为导致的大幅下降，导致2020年12月亏损9400万美元。</blockquote></p><p> It's our thesis that the stock price surge was not built on any solid financial foundation, more likely linked to investor appetite for exposure to companies that may benefit from future environmental trends, and potentially the strong forecasts from management. As the projections have not yet played out in the numbers, the share price has suffered and this is a trend we expect to continue to see.</p><p><blockquote>我们的论点是，股价飙升并不是建立在任何坚实的财务基础之上的，更有可能与投资者对可能受益于未来环境趋势的公司的投资兴趣以及管理层的潜在强劲预测有关。由于预测尚未在数字上实现，股价受到影响，我们预计这一趋势将继续出现。</blockquote></p><p></p><p> One positive case that can be made for PLUG's future from a valuation perspective is that despite negatively trending income statement features, the company appears to have a strong balance sheet. The considerable cash and cash equivalent balance ($1.3 billion) by far surpasses their current and long-term liabilities ($784 million), meaning PLUG should have no issues in withstanding short-term poor performance.</p><p><blockquote>从估值角度来看，PLUG 未来的一个积极案例是，尽管损益表特征呈负面趋势，但该公司似乎拥有强劲的资产负债表。巨额现金和现金等价物余额（13 亿美元）远远超过其流动和长期负债（7.84 亿美元），这意味着 PLUG 在承受短期不良业绩方面应该没有问题。</blockquote></p><p> <p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a02d2db1e6065bc1e3501e02da38a16a\" tg-width=\"624\" tg-height=\"229\"><span>(Source: PLUG's 2020 Annual report)</span></p><p><blockquote><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><span>（资料来源：PLUG 2020年年报）</span></p></blockquote></p><p> The company's current ratio of 7.21, being current assets divided by current liabilities, suggests a company more than able to continue operations despite being in a loss-making position.While this is encouraging from a bull thesis perspective, our core investment strategy is more revenue and growth orientated. PLUG certainly appears to be well capitalized, yet that alone will not enable the company to drive returns for investors. One obvious option for PLUG would be to deploy their cash into projects that would develop new revenue streams and enhance their earnings position.</p><p><blockquote>该公司的流动比率为 7.21，即流动资产除以流动负债，这表明该公司尽管处于亏损状态，但完全有能力继续运营。虽然从牛市论点的角度来看，这是令人鼓舞的，但我们的核心投资策略更注重收入和增长。PLUG 显然资本充足，但仅凭这一点并不能使该公司为投资者带来回报。PLUG 的一个显而易见的选择是将现金投入到能够开发新收入来源并提高盈利状况的项目中。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Consideration of growth opportunities</b></p><p><blockquote><b>考虑增长机会</b></blockquote></p><p> Since we deviated from our normal order of assessment, let’s now return to where the thesis normally begins, that is the story of the company itself. Do we consider this investment story to paint a positive picture of future growth, with products that will change the company fortunes and lead to a prosperous future? If we’re honest, right now, no. Let’s assess why that is the case.</p><p><blockquote>既然我们偏离了正常的评估顺序，现在让我们回到论文通常开始的地方，也就是公司本身的故事。我们是否认为这个投资故事是为了描绘未来增长的积极图景，产品将改变公司的命运并带来繁荣的未来？老实说，现在还没有。让我们来评估一下为什么会这样。</blockquote></p><p> Firstly, PLUG is a producer of hydrogen powered fuel cell solutions, outlining in their recent&nbsp;annual report&nbsp;that they see their products in “material handling vehicles and industrial trucks.\" This is the first factor that investors should be acutely aware of. The hype of 2020 may have gotten some investors carried away with this “battery producer” for electric vehicles, without understanding its position in the market.</p><p><blockquote>首先，PLUG 是一家氢动力燃料电池解决方案生产商，在最近的年度报告中概述，他们的产品应用于 “物料搬运车辆和工业卡车 ”。这是投资者应该敏锐地意识到的第一个因素。2020 年的炒作可能让一些投资者被这家电动汽车 “电池生产商 ”冲昏头脑，而不了解它在市场上的地位。</blockquote></p><p> The vehicle battery market is well laid out by this&nbsp;IHS Markit report, which considers the future prospects for hydrogen fuel cells. If you’re bullish on PLUG, this report will give some encouragement, showing that there is a strong increase expected in both vehicles and charging stations in the coming years.</p><p><blockquote>这份IHS Markit报告对汽车电池市场进行了很好的布局，该报告考虑了氢燃料电池的未来前景。如果你看好 PLUG，这份报告会给你一些鼓励，它显示未来几年汽车和充电站的数量都有望强劲增长。</blockquote></p><p> <p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c627200e94e6301508a5f09d5381a43b\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"251\"><span>(Source:IHS Markit)</span></p><p><blockquote><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><span>（来源：IHS Markit）</span></p></blockquote></p><p> However, it’s not the headline numbers that caught our eye in this report, but the description of where exactly hydrogen-powered batteries sit within the marketplace. According to the report, while there are clear benefits of hydrogen over the lithium batteries used by Tesla and others, the downside is that they use “more complex processes” and have “about half the wheel to wheel efficiency of battery electric,” concluding that they are more suitable for vehicles with heavier weights and longer trip times – think industrial vehicles and buses.</p><p><blockquote>然而，在这份报告中，吸引我们眼球的并不是标题数字，而是对氢动力电池在市场上的确切地位的描述。报告称，虽然与特斯拉和其他公司使用的锂电池相比，氢能有明显的优势，但缺点是氢能使用 “更复杂的工艺”，而且 “轮对轮的效率只有电池电动的一半左右”，结论是氢能更适合重量较重、行程时间较长的车辆--比如工业车辆和公共汽车。</blockquote></p><p> In our consideration of the story, this dramatically reduces the total addressable market (\"TAM\"). Yes, there are a lot of industrial vehicles in the world, but there is a significantly larger market for standard lighter automobiles, boats, light-aircraft and drones.</p><p><blockquote>在我们对这个故事的考虑中，这大大减少了总目标市场（“TAM”）。是的，世界上有很多工业车辆，但标准轻型汽车、船只、轻型飞机和无人机的市场要大得多。</blockquote></p><p> Our assessment of the story is enhanced further by reporting from the International Energy Agency, who lay out their future projections for electric light duty vehicles (“LDV”) in the graph below – electric cars essentially. With projections for up to 200 million units expected to be on the road in 2030, up from 22 million today. In our opinion, if investing in the clean and green future of electric vehicles, the LDV space is far more appealing, and the smaller TAM in the hydrogen fuel cell space is a concern to the company's long-term prospects.</p><p><blockquote>国际能源署（International Energy Agency）的报告进一步强化了我们对此事的评估，该机构在下图中列出了他们对电动轻型汽车（“LDV”）的未来预测——本质上是电动汽车。预计到 2030 年将有多达 2 亿辆上路，高于目前的 2200 万辆。我们认为，如果投资于电动汽车的清洁和绿色未来，LDV领域更具吸引力，而氢燃料电池领域较小的TAM是公司长期前景的一个担忧。</blockquote></p><p> <p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/59bfbab3f6732c318b381f6832adfd3d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"342\"><span>(Source :IEA 2021 Report)</span></p><p><blockquote><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><span>（资料来源：IEA 2021 年报告）</span></p></blockquote></p><p> <b>The contrary thesis for PLUG</b></p><p><blockquote><b>PLUG 的相反论点</b></blockquote></p><p> We should also consider the counter argument to our thesis on the PLUG story. The bulls will be screaming that despite the smaller market, many companies have been highly profitable while cornering a certain segment of a larger market. That would undoubtedly be a fair assessment to make overall; however, do we consider that PLUG is best placed to do so?</p><p><blockquote>我们还应该考虑对我们关于插头故事的论点的反驳。多头会尖叫着，尽管市场较小，但许多公司在占领更大市场的某个细分市场的同时获得了高额利润。总的来说，这无疑是一个公平的评估；然而，我们认为插头最适合这样做吗？</blockquote></p><p></p><p> In the heavy duty vehicle and hydrogen power market, there are already firms such as Proterra (PTRA), who have proof of concept and regular sales in electric buses. Plus it has become apparent that heavyweight competitors are entering the space, with General Motors' (GM&nbsp;)plans to supply&nbsp;fuel cells for locomotive trains. With this in mind, it is difficult to see PLUG capturing a significant portion of the smaller TAM that we defined earlier. Our thesis is that they may get squeezed out by this competition in the longer term.</p><p><blockquote>在重型车辆和氢能市场，已经有Proterra（PTRA）等公司拥有电动公交车的概念验证和定期销售。此外，很明显，重量级竞争对手正在进入该领域，通用汽车 (GM) 计划为机车列车提供燃料电池。考虑到这一点，很难看到插头捕获我们前面定义的较小TAM的很大一部分。我们的论点是，从长远来看，他们可能会被这种竞争挤出。</blockquote></p><p> That being said, the company management clearly forecasts a bright future. Their impressive September 2020&nbsp;slide deck&nbsp;highlights their forecasts of an incredible surge in revenue growth to $1.2 billion in annual sales and $250 billion in operating EBITDA. This impressive growth will be fuelled by expansion of their existing operations and development of new market segments, such as hydrogen power plants, refueling stations, heavy duty electric vehicles, airplanes and even a \"gigafactory.\"</p><p><blockquote>话虽如此，公司管理层明确预测了光明的未来。他们令人印象深刻的2020年9月幻灯片强调了他们对收入增长的预测，即年销售额将惊人地飙升至12亿美元，运营EBITDA将达到2500亿美元。这一令人印象深刻的增长将通过扩大现有业务和开发新的细分市场来推动，例如氢发电厂、加油站、重型电动汽车、飞机甚至“超级工厂”。</blockquote></p><p> The coining of a phrase synonymous with Tesla, via their gigafactory plans, may have whet the appetite of some investors. However, we are firmly in the let’s wait and see camp here. Firstly, on the revenue side, even excluding the 2020 annual loss and writing off to the restatement issues mentioned earlier, it’s hard to gather where the $1 billion figure comes from. That would be an approximate 6.5-fold increase on the 2019 annual revenues ($150 million) in a two and a half year period; pretty ambitious? Not quite as ambitious as doing so while increasing EBITDA to $250 million from a historic loss-making position, while presumably also increasing capital expenditure to fund their gigafactory, hydrogen plant, plane and truck expansions? Unfortunately, we are struggling to see the math.</p><p><blockquote>通过他们的超级工厂计划，创造了一个与特斯拉同义的短语，可能会激起一些投资者的胃口。不过，我们坚定地站在“让我们拭目以待”的阵营中。首先，在收入方面，即使排除 2020 年的年度亏损，并冲销前面提到的重述问题，也很难得出 10 亿美元的数字从何而来。这将是两年半时间内 2019 年年收入（1.5 亿美元）的约 6.5 倍；很有野心？不像这样雄心勃勃，同时将 EBITDA 从历史性的亏损状况增加到 2.5 亿美元，同时可能还增加资本支出，为他们的超级工厂、氢工厂、飞机和卡车扩张提供资金？不幸的是，我们很难理解数学。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Our conclusions on Plug Power</b></p><p><blockquote><b>我们对普拉格能源的结论</b></blockquote></p><p> In a global environment currently shifting toward a greener and cleaner world, fuelled by more carbon efficient vehicles, it is no surprise that investors have high hopes for a stock such as PLUG. It is easy to read their marketing material and fall in love with the story and the projections. It's encouraging to see the bold plans that management have for the company; however, we would like to see more results before assuming that these can be executed.</p><p><blockquote>在当前全球环境向更绿色、更清洁的世界转变，由更节能的汽车推动，投资者对 PLUG 这样的股票寄予厚望也就不足为奇了。很容易阅读他们的营销材料，并爱上这个故事和预测。看到管理层为公司制定的大胆计划令人鼓舞；然而，在假设这些可以执行之前，我们希望看到更多的结果。</blockquote></p><p> From the research we have undertaken, we believe that the total addressable market for PLUG is smaller than currently perceived by the bulls. Long-term trends suggest that lithium batteries will be the clear leader in fuelling our greener future and we believe the hydrogen market will be considerably smaller, impacting PLUG's ability to grow. When considering this, alongside the strong competition within their subsector, the accounting and litigation red flags we noted earlier, we believe that PLUG may continue to see multiple contraction and a reduction in market cap - hence our bearish outlook at this point in time.</p><p><blockquote>根据我们进行的研究，我们认为插头的总潜在市场比多头目前认为的要小。长期趋势表明，锂电池将成为推动我们绿色未来的明显领导者，我们相信氢市场将小得多，从而影响 PLUG 的增长能力。考虑到这一点，以及我们之前提到的子行业内的激烈竞争、会计和诉讼危险信号，我们认为 PLUG 可能会继续出现多重收缩和市值减少 - 因此我们目前的看跌前景。</blockquote></p><p></p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Unfortunately, for PLUG stockholders, that is exactly what is laid out in the company’s most recent&nbsp;annual report, with a flurry of legal proceedings being filed in early 2021 off the back of the accounting scandal, adding to earlier proceedings from staff involved in an accident which is yet to be resolved. For many investors, these flags would be enough to deter them from an investment. However, a contrary argument may be that these factors are already priced in and the company's future may be rosier. Let's consider what the future holds for Plug Power.</p><p><blockquote>无论会计丑闻是否被视为投资论文中的危险信号，大多数投资者一想到投资一家存在法律问题和未知负债的公司，都会望而却步。不幸的是，对于 PLUG 的股东来说，这正是该公司最新年度报告中所阐述的内容，2021 年初，由于会计丑闻，公司提起了一系列法律诉讼，加上此前涉及事故的员工提起的诉讼尚未解决。对于许多投资者来说，这些旗帜足以阻止他们投资。然而，相反的论点可能是，这些因素已经被考虑在内，公司的未来可能会更加光明。让我们考虑一下普拉格能源的未来。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Considering Plug Power's Valuation</b></p><p><blockquote><b>考虑Plug Power的估值</b></blockquote></p><p> As long-term growth investors, the consideration of valuation is not normally the first port of call when considering an investment decision. We’ve previously laid out our belief that what seems expensive, often is so for good reason, when laying out a bull thesis for other stocks. However, in this case we think it paints a very different story. When considering the valuation of Plug Power, we note a current enterprise value of $16.1 billion, being a $16.8 billion market cap, deducting $1.3 billion cash and adding $0.6 billion in debt. This gives us a forward looking EV/Sales figure for the next twelve months of 36.</p><p><blockquote>作为长期成长型投资者，在考虑投资决策时，估值的考虑通常不是看涨期权的第一考虑因素。我们之前曾表示，在为其他股票提出牛市论点时，我们认为看似昂贵的东西往往是有充分理由的。然而，在这种情况下，我们认为它描绘了一个非常不同的故事。在考虑普拉格能源的估值时，我们注意到目前的企业价值为 161 亿美元，市值为 168 亿美元，减去 13 亿美元现金并加上 6 亿美元债务。这为我们提供了未来 36 个月未来 12 个月的电动汽车/销售数据。</blockquote></p><p> While the multiple itself is high by most gauges, as we’ve outlined, the number itself is not really our primary concern. If we delve a little deeper into the valuation story, what we can see is a company that traded at 3.8 times its next twelve-month revenues in September 2019 (using the same metrics outlined above). This multiple increased gradually to 12.3 by June 2020, before exploding as high as 56 times next twelve-month sales in December 2020.</p><p><blockquote>正如我们所概述的，虽然从大多数指标来看，倍数本身都很高，但这个数字本身并不是我们最关心的问题。如果我们更深入地研究一下估值故事，我们可以看到一家公司在 2019 年 9 月的交易价格是其未来 12 个月收入的 3.8 倍（使用上述相同的指标）。到 2020 年 6 月，这一倍数逐渐增加到 12.3，然后在 2020 年 12 月的未来 12 个月销售额飙升至 56 倍。</blockquote></p><p> This incredible volatility in valuation multiple does not appear to have been triggered by developing sales or profitability. PLUG's quarter-on-quarter last twelve-month sales increased a modest 50% between September 2019 and September 2020 ($198 million September 2019 and $308 million September 2020). Thereafter a large decline, caused by their accounting irregularities, led to a December 2020 loss of $94 million.</p><p><blockquote>估值倍数的这种令人难以置信的波动似乎不是由销售或盈利能力的增长引发的。PLUG 过去 12 个月的环比销售额在 2019 年 9 月至 2020 年 9 月期间小幅增长了 50%（2019 年 9 月为 1.98 亿美元，2020 年 9 月为 3.08 亿美元）。此后，由于会计违规行为导致的大幅下降，导致2020年12月亏损9400万美元。</blockquote></p><p> It's our thesis that the stock price surge was not built on any solid financial foundation, more likely linked to investor appetite for exposure to companies that may benefit from future environmental trends, and potentially the strong forecasts from management. As the projections have not yet played out in the numbers, the share price has suffered and this is a trend we expect to continue to see.</p><p><blockquote>我们的论点是，股价飙升并不是建立在任何坚实的财务基础之上的，更有可能与投资者对可能受益于未来环境趋势的公司的投资兴趣以及管理层的潜在强劲预测有关。由于预测尚未在数字上实现，股价受到影响，我们预计这一趋势将继续出现。</blockquote></p><p></p><p> One positive case that can be made for PLUG's future from a valuation perspective is that despite negatively trending income statement features, the company appears to have a strong balance sheet. The considerable cash and cash equivalent balance ($1.3 billion) by far surpasses their current and long-term liabilities ($784 million), meaning PLUG should have no issues in withstanding short-term poor performance.</p><p><blockquote>从估值角度来看，PLUG 未来的一个积极案例是，尽管损益表特征呈负面趋势，但该公司似乎拥有强劲的资产负债表。巨额现金和现金等价物余额（13 亿美元）远远超过其流动和长期负债（7.84 亿美元），这意味着 PLUG 在承受短期不良业绩方面应该没有问题。</blockquote></p><p> <p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a02d2db1e6065bc1e3501e02da38a16a\" tg-width=\"624\" tg-height=\"229\"><span>(Source: PLUG's 2020 Annual report)</span></p><p><blockquote><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><span>（资料来源：PLUG 2020年年报）</span></p></blockquote></p><p> The company's current ratio of 7.21, being current assets divided by current liabilities, suggests a company more than able to continue operations despite being in a loss-making position.While this is encouraging from a bull thesis perspective, our core investment strategy is more revenue and growth orientated. PLUG certainly appears to be well capitalized, yet that alone will not enable the company to drive returns for investors. One obvious option for PLUG would be to deploy their cash into projects that would develop new revenue streams and enhance their earnings position.</p><p><blockquote>该公司的流动比率为 7.21，即流动资产除以流动负债，这表明该公司尽管处于亏损状态，但完全有能力继续运营。虽然从牛市论点的角度来看，这是令人鼓舞的，但我们的核心投资策略更注重收入和增长。PLUG 显然资本充足，但仅凭这一点并不能使该公司为投资者带来回报。PLUG 的一个显而易见的选择是将现金投入到能够开发新收入来源并提高盈利状况的项目中。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Consideration of growth opportunities</b></p><p><blockquote><b>考虑增长机会</b></blockquote></p><p> Since we deviated from our normal order of assessment, let’s now return to where the thesis normally begins, that is the story of the company itself. Do we consider this investment story to paint a positive picture of future growth, with products that will change the company fortunes and lead to a prosperous future? If we’re honest, right now, no. Let’s assess why that is the case.</p><p><blockquote>既然我们偏离了正常的评估顺序，现在让我们回到论文通常开始的地方，也就是公司本身的故事。我们是否认为这个投资故事是为了描绘未来增长的积极图景，产品将改变公司的命运并带来繁荣的未来？老实说，现在还没有。让我们来评估一下为什么会这样。</blockquote></p><p> Firstly, PLUG is a producer of hydrogen powered fuel cell solutions, outlining in their recent&nbsp;annual report&nbsp;that they see their products in “material handling vehicles and industrial trucks.\" This is the first factor that investors should be acutely aware of. The hype of 2020 may have gotten some investors carried away with this “battery producer” for electric vehicles, without understanding its position in the market.</p><p><blockquote>首先，PLUG 是一家氢动力燃料电池解决方案生产商，在最近的年度报告中概述，他们的产品应用于 “物料搬运车辆和工业卡车 ”。这是投资者应该敏锐地意识到的第一个因素。2020 年的炒作可能让一些投资者被这家电动汽车 “电池生产商 ”冲昏头脑，而不了解它在市场上的地位。</blockquote></p><p> The vehicle battery market is well laid out by this&nbsp;IHS Markit report, which considers the future prospects for hydrogen fuel cells. If you’re bullish on PLUG, this report will give some encouragement, showing that there is a strong increase expected in both vehicles and charging stations in the coming years.</p><p><blockquote>这份IHS Markit报告对汽车电池市场进行了很好的布局，该报告考虑了氢燃料电池的未来前景。如果你看好 PLUG，这份报告会给你一些鼓励，它显示未来几年汽车和充电站的数量都有望强劲增长。</blockquote></p><p> <p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c627200e94e6301508a5f09d5381a43b\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"251\"><span>(Source:IHS Markit)</span></p><p><blockquote><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><span>（来源：IHS Markit）</span></p></blockquote></p><p> However, it’s not the headline numbers that caught our eye in this report, but the description of where exactly hydrogen-powered batteries sit within the marketplace. According to the report, while there are clear benefits of hydrogen over the lithium batteries used by Tesla and others, the downside is that they use “more complex processes” and have “about half the wheel to wheel efficiency of battery electric,” concluding that they are more suitable for vehicles with heavier weights and longer trip times – think industrial vehicles and buses.</p><p><blockquote>然而，在这份报告中，吸引我们眼球的并不是标题数字，而是对氢动力电池在市场上的确切地位的描述。报告称，虽然与特斯拉和其他公司使用的锂电池相比，氢能有明显的优势，但缺点是氢能使用 “更复杂的工艺”，而且 “轮对轮的效率只有电池电动的一半左右”，结论是氢能更适合重量较重、行程时间较长的车辆--比如工业车辆和公共汽车。</blockquote></p><p> In our consideration of the story, this dramatically reduces the total addressable market (\"TAM\"). Yes, there are a lot of industrial vehicles in the world, but there is a significantly larger market for standard lighter automobiles, boats, light-aircraft and drones.</p><p><blockquote>在我们对这个故事的考虑中，这大大减少了总目标市场（“TAM”）。是的，世界上有很多工业车辆，但标准轻型汽车、船只、轻型飞机和无人机的市场要大得多。</blockquote></p><p> Our assessment of the story is enhanced further by reporting from the International Energy Agency, who lay out their future projections for electric light duty vehicles (“LDV”) in the graph below – electric cars essentially. With projections for up to 200 million units expected to be on the road in 2030, up from 22 million today. In our opinion, if investing in the clean and green future of electric vehicles, the LDV space is far more appealing, and the smaller TAM in the hydrogen fuel cell space is a concern to the company's long-term prospects.</p><p><blockquote>国际能源署（International Energy Agency）的报告进一步强化了我们对此事的评估，该机构在下图中列出了他们对电动轻型汽车（“LDV”）的未来预测——本质上是电动汽车。预计到 2030 年将有多达 2 亿辆上路，高于目前的 2200 万辆。我们认为，如果投资于电动汽车的清洁和绿色未来，LDV领域更具吸引力，而氢燃料电池领域较小的TAM是公司长期前景的一个担忧。</blockquote></p><p> <p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/59bfbab3f6732c318b381f6832adfd3d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"342\"><span>(Source :IEA 2021 Report)</span></p><p><blockquote><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><span>（资料来源：IEA 2021 年报告）</span></p></blockquote></p><p> <b>The contrary thesis for PLUG</b></p><p><blockquote><b>PLUG 的相反论点</b></blockquote></p><p> We should also consider the counter argument to our thesis on the PLUG story. The bulls will be screaming that despite the smaller market, many companies have been highly profitable while cornering a certain segment of a larger market. That would undoubtedly be a fair assessment to make overall; however, do we consider that PLUG is best placed to do so?</p><p><blockquote>我们还应该考虑对我们关于插头故事的论点的反驳。多头会尖叫着，尽管市场较小，但许多公司在占领更大市场的某个细分市场的同时获得了高额利润。总的来说，这无疑是一个公平的评估；然而，我们认为插头最适合这样做吗？</blockquote></p><p></p><p> In the heavy duty vehicle and hydrogen power market, there are already firms such as Proterra (PTRA), who have proof of concept and regular sales in electric buses. Plus it has become apparent that heavyweight competitors are entering the space, with General Motors' (GM&nbsp;)plans to supply&nbsp;fuel cells for locomotive trains. With this in mind, it is difficult to see PLUG capturing a significant portion of the smaller TAM that we defined earlier. Our thesis is that they may get squeezed out by this competition in the longer term.</p><p><blockquote>在重型车辆和氢能市场，已经有Proterra（PTRA）等公司拥有电动公交车的概念验证和定期销售。此外，很明显，重量级竞争对手正在进入该领域，通用汽车 (GM) 计划为机车列车提供燃料电池。考虑到这一点，很难看到插头捕获我们前面定义的较小TAM的很大一部分。我们的论点是，从长远来看，他们可能会被这种竞争挤出。</blockquote></p><p> That being said, the company management clearly forecasts a bright future. Their impressive September 2020&nbsp;slide deck&nbsp;highlights their forecasts of an incredible surge in revenue growth to $1.2 billion in annual sales and $250 billion in operating EBITDA. This impressive growth will be fuelled by expansion of their existing operations and development of new market segments, such as hydrogen power plants, refueling stations, heavy duty electric vehicles, airplanes and even a \"gigafactory.\"</p><p><blockquote>话虽如此，公司管理层明确预测了光明的未来。他们令人印象深刻的2020年9月幻灯片强调了他们对收入增长的预测，即年销售额将惊人地飙升至12亿美元，运营EBITDA将达到2500亿美元。这一令人印象深刻的增长将通过扩大现有业务和开发新的细分市场来推动，例如氢发电厂、加油站、重型电动汽车、飞机甚至“超级工厂”。</blockquote></p><p> The coining of a phrase synonymous with Tesla, via their gigafactory plans, may have whet the appetite of some investors. However, we are firmly in the let’s wait and see camp here. Firstly, on the revenue side, even excluding the 2020 annual loss and writing off to the restatement issues mentioned earlier, it’s hard to gather where the $1 billion figure comes from. That would be an approximate 6.5-fold increase on the 2019 annual revenues ($150 million) in a two and a half year period; pretty ambitious? Not quite as ambitious as doing so while increasing EBITDA to $250 million from a historic loss-making position, while presumably also increasing capital expenditure to fund their gigafactory, hydrogen plant, plane and truck expansions? Unfortunately, we are struggling to see the math.</p><p><blockquote>通过他们的超级工厂计划，创造了一个与特斯拉同义的短语，可能会激起一些投资者的胃口。不过，我们坚定地站在“让我们拭目以待”的阵营中。首先，在收入方面，即使排除 2020 年的年度亏损，并冲销前面提到的重述问题，也很难得出 10 亿美元的数字从何而来。这将是两年半时间内 2019 年年收入（1.5 亿美元）的约 6.5 倍；很有野心？不像这样雄心勃勃，同时将 EBITDA 从历史性的亏损状况增加到 2.5 亿美元，同时可能还增加资本支出，为他们的超级工厂、氢工厂、飞机和卡车扩张提供资金？不幸的是，我们很难理解数学。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Our conclusions on Plug Power</b></p><p><blockquote><b>我们对普拉格能源的结论</b></blockquote></p><p> In a global environment currently shifting toward a greener and cleaner world, fuelled by more carbon efficient vehicles, it is no surprise that investors have high hopes for a stock such as PLUG. It is easy to read their marketing material and fall in love with the story and the projections.

We question whether the total addressable market is significant enough for Plug to prosper, particularly in the light of strong competition.\nThe Background to our thesis\nPlug Power (PLUG) was a roaring success in the latter part of 2020, increasing by over 400% to its January 2021 peak, before crashing back down to earth as the stock was hit by an accounting scandal.\nData by YCharts\nThe accounting issues have been covered in detail in the article linked above, so we won’t pore over them in too much detail here, except to say we are big believers in the old adage - “if in doubt, get out.\" An accounting scandal and a restatement of prior year figures is perhaps not the wisest foundations with which to build an investment decision in our opinion.\nWhether an accounting scandal is considered a red flag from an investment thesis or not, most investors would baulk at the thought of investing in a firm with legal concerns and unknown liabilities. Unfortunately, for PLUG stockholders, that is exactly what is laid out in the company’s most recent annual report, with a flurry of legal proceedings being filed in early 2021 off the back of the accounting scandal, adding to earlier proceedings from staff involved in an accident which is yet to be resolved. For many investors, these flags would be enough to deter them from an investment. However, a contrary argument may be that these factors are already priced in and the company's future may be rosier. Let's consider what the future holds for Plug Power.\nConsidering Plug Power's Valuation\nAs long-term growth investors, the consideration of valuation is not normally the first port of call when considering an investment decision. We’ve previously laid out our belief that what seems expensive, often is so for good reason, when laying out a bull thesis for other stocks. However, in this case we think it paints a very different story. When considering the valuation of Plug Power, we note a current enterprise value of $16.1 billion, being a $16.8 billion market cap, deducting $1.3 billion cash and adding $0.6 billion in debt. This gives us a forward looking EV/Sales figure for the next twelve months of 36.\nWhile the multiple itself is high by most gauges, as we’ve outlined, the number itself is not really our primary concern. If we delve a little deeper into the valuation story, what we can see is a company that traded at 3.8 times its next twelve-month revenues in September 2019 (using the same metrics outlined above). This multiple increased gradually to 12.3 by June 2020, before exploding as high as 56 times next twelve-month sales in December 2020.\nThis incredible volatility in valuation multiple does not appear to have been triggered by developing sales or profitability. PLUG's quarter-on-quarter last twelve-month sales increased a modest 50% between September 2019 and September 2020 ($198 million September 2019 and $308 million September 2020). Thereafter a large decline, caused by their accounting irregularities, led to a December 2020 loss of $94 million.\nIt's our thesis that the stock price surge was not built on any solid financial foundation, more likely linked to investor appetite for exposure to companies that may benefit from future environmental trends, and potentially the strong forecasts from management. As the projections have not yet played out in the numbers, the share price has suffered and this is a trend we expect to continue to see.\nOne positive case that can be made for PLUG's future from a valuation perspective is that despite negatively trending income statement features, the company appears to have a strong balance sheet. The considerable cash and cash equivalent balance ($1.3 billion) by far surpasses their current and long-term liabilities ($784 million), meaning PLUG should have no issues in withstanding short-term poor performance.\n(Source: PLUG's 2020 Annual report)\nThe company's current ratio of 7.21, being current assets divided by current liabilities, suggests a company more than able to continue operations despite being in a loss-making position.While this is encouraging from a bull thesis perspective, our core investment strategy is more revenue and growth orientated. PLUG certainly appears to be well capitalized, yet that alone will not enable the company to drive returns for investors. One obvious option for PLUG would be to deploy their cash into projects that would develop new revenue streams and enhance their earnings position.\nConsideration of growth opportunities\nSince we deviated from our normal order of assessment, let’s now return to where the thesis normally begins, that is the story of the company itself. Do we consider this investment story to paint a positive picture of future growth, with products that will change the company fortunes and lead to a prosperous future? If we’re honest, right now, no. Let’s assess why that is the case.\nFirstly, PLUG is a producer of hydrogen powered fuel cell solutions, outlining in their recent annual report that they see their products in “material handling vehicles and industrial trucks.\" This is the first factor that investors should be acutely aware of. The hype of 2020 may have gotten some investors carried away with this “battery producer” for electric vehicles, without understanding its position in the market.\nThe vehicle battery market is well laid out by this IHS Markit report, which considers the future prospects for hydrogen fuel cells. If you’re bullish on PLUG, this report will give some encouragement, showing that there is a strong increase expected in both vehicles and charging stations in the coming years.\n(Source:IHS Markit)\nHowever, it’s not the headline numbers that caught our eye in this report, but the description of where exactly hydrogen-powered batteries sit within the marketplace. According to the report, while there are clear benefits of hydrogen over the lithium batteries used by Tesla and others, the downside is that they use “more complex processes” and have “about half the wheel to wheel efficiency of battery electric,” concluding that they are more suitable for vehicles with heavier weights and longer trip times – think industrial vehicles and buses.\nIn our consideration of the story, this dramatically reduces the total addressable market (\"TAM\"). Yes, there are a lot of industrial vehicles in the world, but there is a significantly larger market for standard lighter automobiles, boats, light-aircraft and drones.\nOur assessment of the story is enhanced further by reporting from the International Energy Agency, who lay out their future projections for electric light duty vehicles (“LDV”) in the graph below – electric cars essentially. With projections for up to 200 million units expected to be on the road in 2030, up from 22 million today. In our opinion, if investing in the clean and green future of electric vehicles, the LDV space is far more appealing, and the smaller TAM in the hydrogen fuel cell space is a concern to the company's long-term prospects.\n(Source :IEA 2021 Report)\nThe contrary thesis for PLUG\nWe should also consider the counter argument to our thesis on the PLUG story. The bulls will be screaming that despite the smaller market, many companies have been highly profitable while cornering a certain segment of a larger market. That would undoubtedly be a fair assessment to make overall; however, do we consider that PLUG is best placed to do so?\nIn the heavy duty vehicle and hydrogen power market, there are already firms such as Proterra (PTRA), who have proof of concept and regular sales in electric buses. Plus it has become apparent that heavyweight competitors are entering the space, with General Motors' (GM )plans to supply fuel cells for locomotive trains. With this in mind, it is difficult to see PLUG capturing a significant portion of the smaller TAM that we defined earlier. Our thesis is that they may get squeezed out by this competition in the longer term.\nThat being said, the company management clearly forecasts a bright future. Their impressive September 2020 slide deck highlights their forecasts of an incredible surge in revenue growth to $1.2 billion in annual sales and $250 billion in operating EBITDA. This impressive growth will be fuelled by expansion of their existing operations and development of new market segments, such as hydrogen power plants, refueling stations, heavy duty electric vehicles, airplanes and even a \"gigafactory.\"\nThe coining of a phrase synonymous with Tesla, via their gigafactory plans, may have whet the appetite of some investors. However, we are firmly in the let’s wait and see camp here. Firstly, on the revenue side, even excluding the 2020 annual loss and writing off to the restatement issues mentioned earlier, it’s hard to gather where the $1 billion figure comes from. That would be an approximate 6.5-fold increase on the 2019 annual revenues ($150 million) in a two and a half year period; pretty ambitious? Not quite as ambitious as doing so while increasing EBITDA to $250 million from a historic loss-making position, while presumably also increasing capital expenditure to fund their gigafactory, hydrogen plant, plane and truck expansions? Unfortunately, we are struggling to see the math.\nOur conclusions on Plug Power\nIn a global environment currently shifting toward a greener and cleaner world, fuelled by more carbon efficient vehicles, it is no surprise that investors have high hopes for a stock such as PLUG. It is easy to read their marketing material and fall in love with the story and the projections. It's encouraging to see the bold plans that management have for the company; however, we would like to see more results before assuming that these can be executed.\nFrom the research we have undertaken, we believe that the total addressable market for PLUG is smaller than currently perceived by the bulls. Long-term trends suggest that lithium batteries will be the clear leader in fuelling our greener future and we believe the hydrogen market will be considerably smaller, impacting PLUG's ability to grow. When considering this, alongside the strong competition within their subsector, the accounting and litigation red flags we noted earlier, we believe that PLUG may continue to see multiple contraction and a reduction in market cap - hence our bearish outlook at this point in time.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"PLUG":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2448,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":167586185,"gmtCreate":1624277487347,"gmtModify":1634008549026,"author":{"id":"3556107827397320","authorId":"3556107827397320","name":"fuzhi","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6fe98c60fd97a926f8de4c5f65bef4a4","crmLevel":12,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3556107827397320","idStr":"3556107827397320"},"themes":[],"title":"","htmlText":"Good","listText":"Good","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/167586185","repostId":"2145081082","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1597,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":166998193,"gmtCreate":1623987205812,"gmtModify":1634024567357,"author":{"id":"3556107827397320","authorId":"3556107827397320","name":"fuzhi","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6fe98c60fd97a926f8de4c5f65bef4a4","crmLevel":12,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3556107827397320","idStr":"3556107827397320"},"themes":[],"title":"","htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/166998193","repostId":"1152038469","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":3068,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":161201447,"gmtCreate":1623926625389,"gmtModify":1634025799327,"author":{"id":"3556107827397320","authorId":"3556107827397320","name":"fuzhi","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6fe98c60fd97a926f8de4c5f65bef4a4","crmLevel":12,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3556107827397320","idStr":"3556107827397320"},"themes":[],"title":"","htmlText":"Cool","listText":"Cool","text":"Cool","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/161201447","repostId":"1184912441","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1184912441","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1623911473,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1184912441?lang=zh_CN&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-17 14:31","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Fisker: One Of The Best Pure-Play EV Bets<blockquote>菲斯克：最好的纯电动汽车赌注之一</blockquote>","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1184912441","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Summary\n\nFisker is on track to deliver its first vehicle by November 2022 and in line with the previ","content":"<p><b>Summary</b></p><p><blockquote><b>总结</b></blockquote></p><p> <ul>  <li>Fisker is on track to deliver its first vehicle by November 2022 and in line with the previously laid down cost structure.</li>  <li>The finalized Foxconn deal of mass-producing an electric vehicle justifies the current valuation.</li>  <li>The announcement of a climate-neutral vehicle goal by 2027 strengthens the long-term outlook.</li>  <li>Fisker has a robust balance sheet position to support significant investments in product development and innovation.</li> </ul> <p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9723e0a794926349a61ee7329622c779\" tg-width=\"768\" tg-height=\"571\"><span>Chesky_W/iStock via Getty Images</span></p><p><blockquote><ul><li>Fisker 有望在 2022 年 11 月之前交付第一辆车，并符合之前制定的成本结构。</li><li>富士康最终敲定的电动汽车量产交易证明了当前的估值是合理的。</li><li>到 2027 年实现气候中和汽车目标的宣布强化了长期前景。</li><li>Fisker 拥有稳健的资产负债表状况，可支持产品开发和创新方面的大量投资。</li></ul><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><span>Chesky_W/iStock 来自盖蒂图片社</span></p></blockquote></p><p> Fisker (FSR) is up more than 65% since the publication of our previous article on Fisker last month (Fisker: High Risk, Very High Return) with a “very bullish” rating. Therefore, we believe now was the time to revisit the stock and revise our rating. After revisiting the stock, we continue to remain bullish as the mispricing persists and valuation fails to incorporate the long-term growth potential of the stock. However, valuation offers favorable risk-reward metrics to enter the stock but does not offer the same extraordinary returns with low risk as before, therefore, we would now reduce the rating from \"very bullish\" to \"bullish\".</p><p><blockquote>自上个月我们发表上一篇关于菲斯克的文章（《菲斯克：高风险，非常高回报》）以来，菲斯克（FSR）已上涨 65% 以上，评级为 “非常看涨 ”。因此，我们认为现在是重新审视该股并修改我们的评级的时候了。在重新审视该股后，我们继续保持看涨，因为错误定价持续存在，估值未能纳入该股的长期增长潜力。然而，估值为进入该股票提供了有利的风险回报指标，但并不能提供与以前相同的低风险非凡回报，因此，我们现在将评级从“非常看涨”下调至“看涨”。</blockquote></p><p> We like Fisker's visionary leadership, competitive product, asset-light business model, and solid partnerships.

As per the agreement, Foxconn and Fisker will co-develop and manufacture an electric vehicle that would hit the market by Q4 2023 and will be sold under the Fisker brand name in North America, Europe, China, and India. The expected capacity of the vehicle would be 250,000 annually worldwide.

It also reassured that it has sourced majority of parts for its first vehicle, and the cost structure is in line with expectations laid out by the company last year.

So far, the company has been on track with its progress. Fisker Ocean has a solar roof that besides delivering a higher range to the vehicle, also generates a free of cost and greenest form of energy source. The company also uses recycled material within its car. In line with its vision, the company set a goal to produce a fully climate-neutral vehicle by 2027 with net-zero greenhouse gases over its lifetime.</p><p><blockquote>该公司成立的愿景是制造世界上最可持续的汽车。到目前为止，该公司的进展一直步入正轨。Fisker Ocean有一个太阳能车顶，除了为车辆提供更高的续航里程外，还产生了一种免费和最环保的能源。该公司还在其汽车内使用回收材料。根据其愿景，该公司设定了一个目标，即到 2027 年生产一款完全气候中和的汽车，并在其使用寿命内实现温室气体净零排放。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Well-positioned to expand vehicle portfolio</b></p><p><blockquote><b>处于有利地位以扩大车辆组合</b></blockquote></p><p> Two major partnerships with international contract manufacturers (Foxconn and Magna) uniquely positioned Fisker to grow its vehicle portfolio and reach its goal of four vehicles by 2025.

The technology would be coming with Fisker Ocean initially and can be levered to all the upcoming models of Fisker and will play a material role in differentiating Fisker from other automotive manufacturers.

It outsources multiple areas where it believes that differentiation is not important such as manufacturing process, fleet management services, lease financing, other related services, etc. This helps the company focus primarily on product innovation and development, unlike other companies with their hands entirely filled.</p><p><blockquote>我们相信，该公司处于有利地位，可以通过利用其现有技术、合作伙伴关系和独特的轻资产商业模式来扩大其投资组合。它将其认为差异化并不重要的多个领域外包，例如制造流程、车队管理服务、租赁融资、其他相关服务等。这有助于公司主要专注于产品创新和开发，不像其他公司完全忙碌。</blockquote></p><p> <b>More upside potential</b></p><p><blockquote><b>更大的上行潜力</b></blockquote></p><p> As we discussed in a previous report, the Foxconn deal alone can generate $3.75Bn+ annually in revenue (after 3 to 5 years). Similarly, based on conservative estimates of 50,000 Fisker Ocean vehicles at an average price of $50K, Fisker can generate $2.5Bn annually starting 2023 from Fisker Ocean. Both combined are still greater than the current market capitalization of $5.5Bn despite a 65%+ price return in the last one month.</p><p><blockquote>正如我们在之前的报告中讨论的那样，仅富士康交易一项每年就可以产生超过 37.5 亿美元的收入（3 至 5 年后）。同样，根据平均价格为 5 万美元的 50,000 辆 Fisker Ocean 汽车的保守估计，从 2023 年开始，Fisker 每年可以从 Fisker Ocean 获得 25 亿美元的收入。尽管过去一个月的价格回报率超过 65%，但两者加起来仍高于当前 55 亿美元的市值。</blockquote></p><p> Furthermore, the company can deliver more than 20% growth in the medium-term (after 2025) even after the above two revenue sources are realized. This is because the company can continue to grow by adding more vehicles to its portfolio with the help of an asset-light business model, visionary leadership, and strong partnership.</p><p><blockquote>此外，即使实现上述两个收入来源，该公司在中期内（2025年后）仍可实现20%以上的增长。这是因为在轻资产商业模式、富有远见的领导力和强大的合作伙伴关系的帮助下，该公司可以通过在其投资组合中添加更多车辆来继续增长。</blockquote></p><p> The stock can justify its valuation based on estimates of barely two vehicles with a forward P/S ratio (FY3) of less than 1 as per our estimates discussed above. Announcement of the other two vehicles' development as per the company's defined 2025 goal would exponentially boost the company’s outlook and shareholder’s returns.</p><p><blockquote>根据上述我们的估计，该股可以根据对几乎两只远期市盈率（第三季度）低于 1 的车辆的估计来证明其估值的合理性。根据公司确定的 2025 年目标，宣布开发另外两款车型将大大提高公司的前景和股东回报。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Risk to Thesis</b></p><p><blockquote><b>论文风险</b></blockquote></p><p> <b>Rising short interest</b></p><p><blockquote><b>空头兴趣上升</b></blockquote></p><p> Short interest has gone up significantly in recent months. Increased pressure from short sellers can push the stock downwards. Besides that, Fisker can also become a victim of short-sellers' attacks due to its lack of revenue and salable product. Short-sellers might publish short-seller reports citing unproven concerns and push the stock downwards for personal gains. This can lead to tarnishing the firm's reputation, which can reduce the ability to secure additional financing, credibility among suppliers, disrupt existing partnerships, as well as impact demand for its vehicles.</p><p><blockquote>近几个月来，空头兴趣大幅上升。卖空者压力的增加可能会推动股价下跌。除此之外，由于缺乏收入和可销售的产品，菲斯克还可能成为卖空者攻击的受害者。卖空者可能会发布卖空报告，引用未经证实的担忧，并为了个人利益而压低股价。这可能会损害公司的声誉，从而降低获得额外融资的能力、供应商的信誉、破坏现有的合作伙伴关系，并影响对其车辆的需求。</blockquote></p><p> <p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9c3ae9e44bb7e2d5ebf034087945deef\" tg-width=\"615\" tg-height=\"355\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p><blockquote><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><span>数据由YCharts提供</span></p></blockquote></p><p> <b>Conclusion</b></p><p><blockquote><b>结论</b></blockquote></p><p> The stock continues to offer immense upside potential at the current valuation based on its growth trajectory. Asset-light business model ensures that equity dilution would be insignificant as capital requirements are lower than other EV startups like Workhorse (WKHS) and Lordstown (RIDE) (that are at the risk of facing liquidity crisis when they enter mass production).

It also reassured that it has sourced majority of parts for its first vehicle, and the cost structure is in line with expectations laid out by the company last year.
