xhuksy:
Could you please give some tips on some of the indicators that qualify a stock for a BUY rating as in the case of this particular call. I guess this is more of technical than fundamental but please enlighten me more on this. Thanks a lot

1. Earnings per share (EPS)
This is the amount each share
would get if a company paid out all of its profit to its shareholders. EPS is calculated by dividing the company’s total profit by the number of shares.

Example – If a company’s profit is $200 million and there are 10 million shares, the EPS is $20.

EPS can tell you how companies in the same industry compare. Companies that show steady, consistent earnings
growth, year after year, will often outperform companies with volatile earnings over time.

2. Price to earnings (P/E) ratio
This measures the relationship between the earnings of a company and its stock
price. It’s calculated by dividing the current price per share of a company’s stock by the company’s earnings per share.

Example – A company’s stock currently sells for $50 per share and its earnings per share
are $5. That means it has a P/E ratio of 10 ($50 divided by $5).

The P/E ratio can tell you whether a stock’s price is high, or low, compared to its earnings.

Some investors consider a company with a high P/E to be overpriced. But sometimes a company with a high P/E today may offer higher returns, and a better P/E, in the future. How do you know? You’ll likely have to look at other indicators before you decide.

3. Price to earnings ratio to growth ratio (PEG)
This helps you understand the P/E ratio a little better. It’s calculated by dividing the P/E ratio by the company’s projected growth
in earnings.

Example – A stock with a P/E of 30 and projected earnings growth next year of 15% would have a PEG of 2 (30 divided by 15). A stock with a P/E of 30 but projected earnings growth of 30% will have PEG of 1 (30 divided by 30).

The PEG can tell you whether a stock may or may not be a good value. The lower the number, the less you have to pay to get in on the company’s expected future earnings growth.

4. Price to book value ratio (P/B)
This compares the value the market puts on a company with the value the company has stated in its financial books. It’s calculated by dividing the current price per share by the book value per share. The book value is the current equity of a company, as listed in the annual report.

Most of the time, the lower the P/B is, the better. That’s because you’re paying less for more book value.

If you’re looking for a well-priced stock with reasonable growth potential, you may want to use a low P/B as a tool to identify possible stock picks.

5. Dividend payout ratio (DPR)
This measures what a company pays out to investors in dividends compared to what the stock is earning. It’s calculated by dividing the annual dividends per share by the EPS.

Example – If a company paid out $1 per share in dividends and had an EPS of $3, the DPR would be 33% (1 divided by 3).

The DPR can give you an idea of how well a company’s earnings support the dividend payments. More mature companies will typically have a higher DPR. They believe that paying more in dividends is the best use of their profits for the firm and its shareholders. Since growing companies are likely to have less or no earnings to pay out dividends, their DPR would tend to be low or zero.

6. Dividend yield
This measures the return on a dividend as a percentage of the stock price. It’s calculated by dividing the annual dividend
per share by the price per share.

Example – 2 stocks each pay an annual dividend of $1 per share. Company A’s stock is trading at $40 a share, but Company B’s stock is trading at $20 a share. Company A has a dividend yield
of 2.5% (1 divided by 40), while Company B’s is 5% (1 divided by 20).

The dividend yield
can tell you how much cash flow
you’re getting for your money, all other things being equal.

CAUTION
Indicators can help you assess the value of a stock and its growth potential. But there are many other factors affecting stock prices that can’t be easily measured.

other factors
Company news and performance
Here are some company-specific factors that can affect the share price:

news releases on earnings and profits, and future estimated earnings
announcement of dividends
introduction of a new product or a product recall
securing a new large contract
employee layoffs
anticipated takeover or merger
a change of management
accounting errors or scandals
Industry performance
Often, the stock price of the companies in the same industry will move in tandem with each other. This is because market conditions generally affect the companies in the same industry the same way. But sometimes, the stock price of a company will benefit from a piece of bad news for its competitor if the companies are competing for the same market.

Investor sentiment
Investor sentiment or confidence can cause the market to go up or down, which can cause stock prices to rise or fall. The general direction that the stock market takes can affect the value of a stock:

bull market – a strong stock market where stock prices are rising and investor confidence is growing. It’s often tied to economic recovery or an economic boom, as well as investor optimism.
bear market
– a weak market where stock
prices are falling and investor confidence is fading. It often happens when an economy is in recession and unemployment is high, with rising prices.
Economic factors
1. Interest rates
The Bank of Canada can raise or lower interest rates to stabilize or stimulate the Canadian economy. This is known as monetary policy. If a company borrows money to expand and improve its business, higher interest rates will affect the cost of its debt
. This can reduce company profits
and the dividends it pays shareholders. As a result, its share
price may drop. And, in times of higher interest rates, investments that pay interest tend to be more attractive to investors than stocks.

2. Economic outlook
If it looks like the economy is going to expand, stock prices may rise. Investors may buy more stocks thinking they will see future profits and higher stock prices. If the economic outlook is uncertain, investors may reduce their buying or start selling.

3. Inflation
Inflation
means higher consumer prices. This often slows sales and reduces profits. Higher prices will also often lead to higher interest rates. For example, the Bank of Canada may raise interest rates to slow down inflation. These changes will tend to bring down stock prices. Commodities however, may do better with inflation, so their prices may rise.

4. Deflation
Falling prices tend to mean lower profits for companies and decreased economic activity. Stock prices may go down, and investors may start selling their shares and move to fixed-income investments like bonds. Interest rates may be lowered to encourage people to borrow more. The goal is increased spending and economic activity. The Great Depression (1929-1939) was one of the worst periods of deflation
ever.

5. Economic and political shocks
Changes around the world can affect both the economy and stock prices. For example, a rise in energy costs can lead to lower sales, lower profits and lower stock prices. An act of terrorism can also lead to a downturn in economic activity and a fall in stock prices.

6. Changes in economic policy
If a new government comes into power, it may decide to make new policies. Sometimes these changes can be seen as good for business, and sometimes not. They may lead to changes in inflation and interest rates, which in turn may affect stock prices.

7. The value of the Canadian dollar
Many Canadian companies sell products to buyers in other countries. If the Canadian dollar rises, their customers will have to spend more to buy Canadian goods. This can drive down sales, which in turn can lead to lower stock prices. When the price of the Canadian dollar falls, it makes it cheaper for others to buy our products. This can make stock prices rise.

KEY POINT
Stock prices can be affected by:

company news and performance
industry performance
investor sentiment
economic factors

INVESTING 101
PART 5 - The concluding chapter

Another pay day had arrived and as usual practice for Shina, he set aside a planned percentage to fund his investment practice. He was getting pretty good at investing.

Since he had invested in Sandra farms and had read books about investing, his confidence and investing prowess has increased. He was now adept at looking at financial statements and deciphering wheat from chaff. With dedication and practice, anything can be achieved.

The dividends he had received from Sandra farms and other companies had been carefully invested. His funds were now growing via compound interest which has been termed as being the 8th wonder of the world.

The only regret he had was that he hadn't started much earlier. The best time to plant an oak tree is 100 years ago. The next best time is today. If one compounds N100,000 at 10% annually for 10 years, it grows to over N250,000 without adding an extra kobo to the initial sum.

What could be achieved by investing larger sums for longer periods or at a higher annual compounding rate while regularly adding to the pool from one's savings can only be left to one's imagination!

Shina told everyone that cared to listen about compound interest. Unfortunately, many were more interested in get-rich-quick schemes which promised huge returns but almost always ended with hot tears for "investors".

Whenever he wanted to sell or buy more shares, all he had to do was to buy via his stockbroker in the stock market. The stock market is where shares of various companies are bought or sold daily.

This interaction between buyers and sellers of shares leads to demand and supply forces which eventually dictate the price of each share of various companies.

Shina might not have started 100 years ago but he knew he was now well on his way towards creating lasting wealth. Knowing this made all his effort worth the while.

LESSONS YOU SHOULD HAVE LEARNT
1. You'll need a stock broker to buy shares on the stock exchange.

2. Compound interest, when put to work, will generate exponential returns for you. The earlier you start, the better the returns.

3. Investing, even in stocks, does not always end happily ever after. Its not too late to start learning.

THE END

The person that brought me back to the stock market, i stopped listening to him in thereafter because he speculates a lot with people's fund. He even encouraged me to buy a dead stock that i later sold for over 50% loss thereafter. He lost the respect I had for him when it comes to investing.

In 2019, he blew up all his capital and now he doesn't have any money in the market other than the money of his client. When he ran out of money, he contacted me to buy one of his property in Dec at cost price because he needed cash.

This is what happened when people invest without doing due diligence. I shouldn't be writing this but I have to so that newbies can learn.

People are better off in the long term investing in dividend paying and fundamentally sound stock.

Newbies before you act on other people's recommendations or trades ask questions. Know what group they belong too, know why they are buying and selling, does it make sense to you considering what your own investment objective is, have an understanding of the risk. Ask questions before taking another person's recommendations

I have just been looking at BB, it's turning to a FOMO. It will be very risky since we are yet to get the major pull back or offering and it's been running a few days now. I won't dump too much capital on it but it looks good.

On a technical scale, I can only see $11.45 however on a fundamental angle, feel free to buy and hold. I won't join this train guys.

Just a friendly notice,

yazga:
$MGTI (%0.2640) - This should touch $1 at the least before the end of February and if that happens....it will touch $5 before the end of the year. There is a lot of momentum here.

$RWLK ($1.78) - I have said this is cheap. If you miss it, you will miss out. Covid is NOT favouring this right now. This will get to $10 once Covid is declared over. Forging key collaborations, just got 5 insurance contracts and they have proved the robotic technology.

$VERI - ($37.50) - Veritone Named to Forbes' 2021 List of Best Small-Cap Companies in America. If you took profit here and sold, watch this go to $60 before the end of the year. Before, not end. It will happen. This is a very strongly positioned company. Veritone's growth accelerated as 2020 progressed, and by all indications, that acceleration is continuing into 2021, substantiated by expanded use cases of aiWARE, AI, into new verticals, including Energy. It fits in your long term strategy. Easily.

$NNDM ($11.14) - This will still get to $40 before the end of the year. Call it bold but you need to understand the capability.

$JAGX ($3.57) - This will win. Very underrated right now. $10 is within reach.

$PLTR ($25.68) - They want your stocks. This should easily get to $50 before the end of Q1 I said. End of the year...I can see $70.

$GEVO ($7.48) - Remember I told you guys that if this sees $5, bye bye. This is still touching $15 before year ends. It has left dangerous zones and now it would enter smart territory

$MARA ($22.23) - This will easily close out $50 this year. There is a wide acceptance of Blockchain. They need a household stock name. This will happen.

$PLUG ($71.00) - This has started collecting institutional money and will easily double from what it is doing.

$FCEL ($17.14) - This is the late drive to $PLUG. It's the cheaper version of PLUG. I don't imagine people not clamouring for this after seeing $PLUG being amazing.

$NKLA ($20.32) - This will claim back lost grounds. No debt, making key connections, new beginnings, don't trust the shorters. Claim your ground. I can see this getting to $50 before year end.

$KERN ($6.78) - Cannabis need an approval body. They need a body to sanction and regulate things. This is a no-brainer. This will triple from where it is.

$HASI ($68.38) This will cross $100

$TLS ($33.05) - No debt, clearly under the radar and making key collaborations - This is definitely positioned. $50 easily.

$IZEA ($2.545) - Too much has been said by this. I didn't find it but there is 200% still left in this.

Some steals: $IZEA
Honourable SPAC mentions, $OAC (The future of medicine - absolute no brainer) and $NGA (Key Amazon contract)

Analysing ARRIVAL and their merger with $CIIC


About the company: ARRIVAL - founded in 2015 is a sort of tech company that develops commercial EVs – starting with van and bus models. They are a UK company.

They are focusing on building delivery vans and buses in the world’s busiest cities.


Management: DENIS SVERDLOV is the Founder and currently serves as CEO

AVINASH RUGOOBUR is the President of Arrival - he was formerly head of strategy for General Motors' Cruise self-driving unit.

MIKE ABLESON is the head of automotive business. He was formerly GM's vice president of EV infrastructure and global strategy.

Some of ARRIVAL's engineers previously worked at Tesla, Jaguar Land Rover, Apple and Google.


������ �� �����: ARRIVAL's EV strategy is to create what it calls Generation 2.0 Electric Vehicles

These are EVs which are of the same price as combustion/diesel vehicles.

To understand and this model well, let us consider what Generation 1.0 model is about...

Generation 1.0 EVs are just the traditional vehicles that replaces combustion engines with batteries

So this model is expensive, and also costly to run and maintain.

In contrast, ARRIVAL's 2.0 products are designed from a blank sheet (more like from scratch)

This makes it better than traditional vehicles in cost, design and efficiency.


�������� �����������: ARRIVAL makes use of a software system known as ADAS

ADAS - Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, are a set of safety systems that are designed to automate and enhance vehicle safety by alerting the driver to potential problems and avoid collisions.

ARRIVAL's EVs are powered by BLACKBERRY's QNX technology

The QNX technology is the key to the ADAS features

The QNX technology is in use in more than 150 million vehicles on the road today.

ARRIVAL has also partnered with CUBIC TELECOM to integrate their software which will provide drivers with full visibility of nearby charging stations and real time navigation.


�����������/�����������: ARRIVAL has long standing contract with ROYAL MAIL, DHL and UPS

It seems ARRIVAL has a love affair with logistics companies (maybe they want to arrive before they cum...it is them that know)

UPS purchased a minority stake in ARRIVAL, and as part of the deal, UPS ordered for 10,000 vehicles from ARRIVAL.

HYUNDAI and KIA has also invested €100M in ARRIVAL

The partnership would involve HYUNDAI & KIA developing vehicles using ARRIVAL's platforms and key technologies

The deal also means both Hyundai and Kia are key shareholders in ARRIVAL.


USP: ARRIVAL's selling point is their affordable EV models (EVs are generally expensive)

But with their "Generation 2.0" model, you are assured of a greener and easier-to-use vehicle that has a longer range for the same price as a fossil vehicle.

This gives a financial value(cheaper) compared to both traditional combustion engines & existing EVs.


Better than Telsa: This is my favourite

To beat the best, you should do what they're not doing (and that's what ARRIVAL is all about)

Tesla makes use of "giga-factories" - these are large traditional assembly plants

They are expensive to set up and they usually occupy space

Instead, ARRIVAL adopted the "micro-factories" model

Micro-factories are less expensive and occupy little space

A traditional factory can gulp $1bn just to set up, but with as low as $50m, ARRIVAL can set up a "micro factory" anywhere in the world


Micro-Factories: Let's delve a bit deeper...

The Generation 2.0 vehicles are designed to be assembled by micro-factories

The “micro-factories” are small enough to fit into any suburban warehouses - so they can just find warehouses near urban centers and convert them into new factories

They can be located to serve local communities, with small footprint to achieve profitability and produce thousands of units

The micro-factory would produce vehicles specifically for the needs of the locality (something similar to McDonald's franchising model)

With this model, they are head and shoulders above other EVs

So instead of having a single huge manufacturing facility, ARRIVAL would have multiple smaller facilities (micro-factories)


Production: ARRIVAL can produce 10,000 vans or 1,000 buses per year at each micro-factory.

With their micro-factory, they can increase capacity thereby getting to the same production volume as a mega/giga factory (with less than half the costs needed for a traditional auto factory)

ARRIVAL is to start production from Q1, 2021

They have micro-factories in London and South Carolina. They aim to have 31 plants by 2024.

Their U.S. plant is expected to begin operations in the Q2, 2021 with production starting Q4, 2021.


Competition: UPS is ARRIVAL’s biggest partner

If that partnership would be very successful, its wise to take a look at what UPS rivals are up to

UPS rivals are FedEx and Amazon

FedEx & Amazon are already adding EVs to their fleets

Amazon plans to add up to 100,000 Rivian battery-electric delivery vans starting in 2021.

While FedEx and Ryder Systems have teamed to add Chanje EVs to FedEx’s California fleet.


Corona Virus: The pandemic changed everything (including public transportation)

But ARRIVAL is thinking ahead

Their bus models has an array of configurations to help with social distancing concerns.

The interior of the bus is customizable, with removable seats, so you can create additional space between passengers (you can increase or decrease number of seats - since they are removable)

The bus also uses touchless technology - commuters can request a stop via smartphone

Also, commuters can see how many seats are available via smartphone (even before entering the bus).


Financials: Post merger, ARRIVAL would be valued at $5.4bn

They have a projected revenue of $14bn by 2024

They would be profitable in 2023 (largely due to low costs of production via their signature "micro factories" model)

Demand for vans is projected to grow 37% by 2024

Arrival has already signed contracts with a total order value up to US $1.2 billion.

The current market value for electric vans is $70bn and is forecasted to grow to $280bn

The current market value for electric bus is $40bn and is forecasted to grow to $154bn

In other words, the total mark opportunity for ARRIVAL is valued at $430bn


Merger: ARRIVAL would be public via a merger with $CIIC

According to Arrival, the existing shareholders have already approved the deal - these include Hyundai, Kia & UPS.

$CIIC will own 12% of ARRIVAL, 88% would remain with existing shareholders.

$CIIC largest single shareholder to date is BlackRock and BlackRock has already invested in ARRIVAL.

Merger is slated for Q1, 2021.


Final Verdict: ARRIVAL is arriving to disrupt EVs

Their strong selling points are - cheaper EVs and unique "micro-factories" model

They also have very strong management team

ARRIVAL would be profitable faster than any other EV

They also have very good contracts/partnerships already signed (and more to come)

I see no reason why the company won't be a success (except village people of course)

$CIIC is currently trading at $29

There could still be some very good rallies before merger date

My post merger PT is $40+

Ticker would change from $CIIC to $ARVL

I am keeping $ARVL for long term.

Another DD is upcoming

Mining of lithium for EV batteries

It would be more of a comparison

$AQMS/$LTHM/$LAC

If you're interested in going long on EVs, you should consider getting at least 1 lithium stock

In the EV value chain...

I have analysed $LAZR (Lidar) and $SBE (charging station)

Battery is the last of the circle

Once this is done, I move on to other sectors

I may also consider doing $NIU (people rarely talk about this stock, but they're silently printing dolapo - +25% in the last 1 month, +308% in the last 1 year)

What's the best time to buy a stock? Is it when it's losing or graining?

Summary on how to do due diligence (dd)


I’ll keep this very simple, quick summary somewhat:

Look at the 4 M’s. In a nutshell.

Meaning - Do you know the meaning of the stock and are you happy with them?

Management - Do you have a reputable management that’s constantly investing in the company as well as taking the company forward? Forward thinking management.

Moat - Can what the company do easily be copied?

Margin of safety - don’t buy a stock that’s too expensively priced
