But the news already came yesterday before the opening. Now this is trending on wsb…

NYSE was closed yesterday, so today is the first day after the news.

Quite interesting news, I didn’t know the difference between SSB and ASSB before. I’m eagerly waiting for them to get the production pilot done :grin:

Microvast’s results fell short of analysts’ expectations, but the company’s revenue grew significantly from last year.

Expansion investments decreased, and the cash position remains secure. The company continues to increase production capacity to meet demand in the electric commercial vehicle market. Management believes it can improve profitability and aims for a stronger position, particularly by expanding its customer base and leveraging the opportunities brought by electrification.

This is in an interesting situation. The company has grown strongly, but its results have been loss-making for a long time. Now the company seems to be at a turning point, and more than just experience is starting to show up on the bottom line.
If this pace continues and revenue growth generates an even better share of profit on the bottom line, then there is quite strong potential here - though there is also plenty of risk.
We are involved with a small stake here, and as usual, at this stage, we naturally regret the smallness of our previous investment :slight_smile:

The result wasn’t pleasing. It fell quite sharply today.

Q3 was good, but we still slid down significantly again. From August, we rose a lot for a while. I consider it possible that we are now at the bottom of this decline and a good rise will come again. The cycles have been so consistent until now that I want to believe and sincerely assume that the cycle will repeat again and we’ll get a proper lift. Someone wiser can assess better. I refueled during the decline, now I could get it lower.
