Essentially, the underlying company will have a mountain to climb to prove the effectiveness of its platform.

If MicroVision is to succeed in delivering autonomous driving solutions, establishing safety will be paramount.</p>\n<p>Though not entirely related, I’m really starting to question the viability of using sensors with big data analytics to drive people around without operator input.

And that will likely have a huge impact on MVIS stock.</p>\n<p>In fairness to myself, I think my opinion aligned with most everyone else’s. Don’t buy a used car this year because prices will come down in 2022. If so, that would make companies like&nbsp;<b>CarMax</b>(NYSE:<b><u>KMX</u></b>) suspect as investment opportunities. But that might not be the case after all due to the ongoing semiconductor shortage.</p>\n<p>Major automakers have over the last few weeks announced huge production cuts, most prominently&nbsp;<b>Toyota</b>(NYSE:<b><u>TM</u></b>) saying that it will&nbsp;slash global production by 40%. From what I’m hearing, it’s going to be 2023 at the earliest where we might see price relief. But the thing is, nobody knows right now.

Who cares if a vehicle can drive itself if a customer can’t purchase it or access it? Sure, the technology is neat but currently, automakers are facing an existential crisis.

Just one serious or fatal incident and it could set back the industry for years. As a smaller firm, MicroVision can’t afford anything to go wrong, which imposes a severe risk profile on MVIS stock.</p>\n<p>But now, the difference is that automakers probably don’t want to take that risk. With a backlog that could extend several years by the time the Covid-19 crisis is over, there is absolutely zero room for missteps. Installing autonomous systems that lead to catastrophic incidents (whether at-fault or not) is simply not on the cards for beleaguered auto manufacturers.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately, this leaves MVIS stock as a purely speculative play.

And with $5.4 billion in corporate borrowings and $4.9 billion in operating lease liabilities (deferred rent for some of its properties), its balance sheet is already in bad shape. \nConsidering these challenges, AMC has no business trading for a market cap of $19.5 billion, which represents a jaw-dropping 43 times its 12-month revenue. Even if the company recovered to its pre-pandemic sales figure of $5.5 billion (which looks unlikely), that would give the stock a price-to-sales (P/S) multiple of 3.5, which is quite a premium for a company with a busted balance sheet that struggled to earn consistent profits even before the pandemic. (AMC reported a net loss of $149 million in 2019.)\nAn obsolete company?\nThe symbiotic relationship between film studios and movie theaters is breaking down. And this could turn AMC Entertainment into an unnecessary intermediary in film distribution. The company's financials are also in shambles, which could mean more debt and equity dilution in the future. AMC's stock shouldn't be trading for such a high valuation in light of these challenges.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":323,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":883488570,"gmtCreate":1631263151090,"gmtModify":1631889090088,"author":{"id":"3584052040277302","authorId":"3584052040277302","name":"Jadewu","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/aa6c1378f5bef83816e7cf78d0f3ab54","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3584052040277302","authorIdStr":"3584052040277302"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[微笑]&nbsp;[微笑]&nbsp;[微笑]&nbsp;","listText":"[微笑]&nbsp;[微笑]&nbsp;[微笑]&nbsp;","text":"[微笑] [微笑] [微笑]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/883488570","repostId":"1121539644","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1121539644","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1631256563,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1121539644?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-09-10 14:49","market":"us","language":"en","title":"The Pandemic Adds Unnecessary Pressure to MicroVision","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1121539644","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"MVIS stock may suffer from a business delay","content":"<p>When it comes to pioneering innovations, it doesn’t get any more fantastical than fostering the ability for cars to drive themselves.
