ColumnXpeng Inc. - Share price rise despite unconvincing results and forecasts?
$XPeng(XPEV.US$$XPENG-W(09868.HK$ released its Q4'22 and FY'22 results.
In my opinion, the results were unconvincing, and forecasts weren't that upbeat.
Despite that, share prices rallied.
Here's why I think so
1. Lower deliveries for 2 consecutive quarters
In a period where grabbing market share is important, total deliveries play an important role.

ColumnMullen Automotive - Are you an EV maker or a news maker?
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.

The US Federal Reserves - World's worst job right now
In case you missed it, the US CPI for Feb'23 came in at 6.0%.
It came down from 6.5% in Jan'23.

That's why the Feds have been doing vigorous...
