If the price action of Mullen’s stock as of late seems familiar, it is because MULN remains one of the hottest ticker symbols on Reddit. Retail and social media investors have jumped onto the Mullen bandwagon, and some comments in discussion boards have labelled it as the next ‘Tesla Killer’. Investors should be cautious over this type of sentiment. Remember what happened when Lucid (NASDAQ:LCID) was referred to in the same manner and neither the stock nor the company have lived up to these expectations.
MULN stock forecast
Despite all of the bullish sentiment around Mullen, the underlying fundamentals for the company should temper some expectations. First, the company won’t have an EV out until 2024 at the earliest, which gives other automakers with deeper pockets two years on Mullen. The solid-state battery technology is promising, although we should reserve judgment, especially after what happened with QuantumScape (NASDAQ:QS). Finally, its driver-assist system or ADAS is going to be level 2.5 in 2024 when the FIVE crossover launches. Tesla is already at level 3, and expects to be at level 5 by 2030.
