This kind of volume and volatility is textbook meme stock behavior, and indeed, Microvision has been adopted by r/WallStreetBets, the same subgroup that orchestrated the short squeeze of GameStop (NYSE:GME). Is Microvision legit? Well, the company has traded publicly for 25 years now and this is basically the most price action it has ever received. The Redmond, Washington company has always been thought to be an acquisition candidate by big tech companies like Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), which is also based out of Redmond.
MVIS stock news
Microvision tumbled after its earnings report last week as it announced a year-over-year drop in sales from $1.5 million in 2020 to $0.5 million in 2021. The losses per share were the same as in 2020 at $0.04, but Wall Street was expecting a loss of only $0.02 per share, so Microvision came up short in that metric as well. Much of the optimism surrounding Microvision is its lidar technology which is thought to be integral for autonomous vehicles. Despite this, Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk has refuted the need for lidar technology, and has said ‘anyone relying on lidar technology is doomed’.
