Companies are usually fun to study.
And I enjoy reading up on and sharing them.
But $Mullen Automotive(MULN.US)$ is really one company, that I need to highlight.
Here's why
1. IPO in Mar'22. Sold nothing yet now
The company is very new.
And new companies usually do not build factories immediately.
Instead like most companies, they build a sportscar model, gain attraction and funds, then only start producing cars.
Check out our coverage on $NIO Inc(NIO.US)$ as an example below.
However,  since the IPO till now, the company has not really earned a single cent!
2. Not earning money, but spending cash buying stuff?

Even if you aren't breaking ground building factories, at least some car companies show that they are heavily involved in R&D.
Well, not Mullen. No revenue, it's ok. But why is your G&A expenses higher than R&D?
Aren't you supposed to be a next-gen EV maker?

3. Getting targeted by short seller Hindenburg Research

Hindenburg Research is one of the most prolific short sellers that has done countless due diligence reports.
Well with Mullen's figures, it doesn't take an expert to tell you what is exactly wrong.
But coming back, investing, or detecting bad companies are not that hard.

I hope Mullen Automotive is a good example of how to spot a problematic company!
