Optimistic Outlook: Canoo’s Prudent Scaling and Fiscal Discipline Merit a Buy Rating

Analyst Daniel Ives of Wedbush maintained a Buy rating on Canoo (GOEV – Research Report), reducing the price target to $5.00.

Daniel Ives has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that indicate a positive outlook for Canoo’s future. The company has demonstrated a prudent approach to both scaling production and financial management. Canoo’s recent fiscal results showed that although they missed revenue expectations, they surpassed profit projections. This suggests a focus on efficient operations and a commitment to refining their production process. The production of 22 vehicles this year and the delivery of 6 LDV 190s to the USPS highlight Canoo’s progress in gaining traction with significant customers and generating revenue.

Additionally, Ives is encouraged by Canoo’s strategic cost reduction efforts, notably the 53% year-over-year decrease in R&D expenses and the achievement of a significant working capital reduction. This fiscal discipline is paired with a cautious yet deliberate expansion strategy. Canoo’s approach to capital raising is also conservative; the company seeks to raise only what is necessary for each milestone, estimated to be between $200 million to $250 million. This careful balance of production and supply chain management, coupled with a solid revenue forecast and a focus on scaling into 2025, underpins Ives’s optimistic long-term view and his Outperform rating, despite acknowledging the challenges and investor concerns that remain.

In another report released yesterday, H.C. Wainwright also assigned a Buy rating to the stock with a $7.00 price target.

GOEV’s price has also changed dramatically for the past six months – from $0.446 to $2.800, which is a 527.80% increase.
