MULN Stock Forecast: Mullen Automotive fails to sustain above $0.70

Update: NASDAQ:MULN pulled back sharply from two-week highs of $0.7890 to settle Thursday at $0.6100, down 0.27% on the day. The quick retracement from higher levels snapped the two-day recovery mode seen earlier this week. Shares of the electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer rallied hard in the first half of the American trading on news that the company claimed controlling stake in Bollinger Motors and plans to revive B1 and B2 EV truck production. The optimism on major Wall Street indices also collaborated with the upside in MULN shares. Although markets were quick to sell off the shares, as they doubted the company’s intention. The EV start-up is yet to deliver an EV to the market, it came close twice.

NASDAQ:MULN continues to trend lower as the EV startup fell alongside the broader markets last week. Shares of MULN traded mostly flat last week as shares fell by 0.46% and closed the trading week at a price of just $0.63. Stocks declined for the third consecutive week as all three major avengers posted losses. The fallout from Fed Chairman Powell’s speech at the Jackson Hole Symposium extended through to the Labour Day long weekend. Overall, the Dow Jones lost a further 3.0%, the S&P 500 dropped by 3.3%, and the NASDAQ posted a 4.2% loss for the week.

Last month, the largest automaker on the planet doubled its market share in the United States. The company grew its domestic sales by 105% on a year over year basis after selling a total of 47,629 vehicles during the month of August. Tesla was once again led by the Model 3 and the Model Y which are two of the best selling electric vehicles in the world. The rise in sales gives Tesla a 4.1% market share in the United States compared to 2.1% in 2021. Shares of TSLA were down by nearly 4.5% last week.

Mullen stock price

Mullen’s stock continues to trend lower as it nears its 52-week low price of $0.52 per share. The stock might find itself in danger of being delisted from the NASDAQ exchange if it continues to trade below $1.00. Later this year Mullen will have its FIVE crossover EV ready as a concept for consumers. It remains to be seen if this will be enough of a catalyst to send the stock back above $1.00.

Previous updates

Update: NASDAQ:MULN remained under pressure on Thursday, losing 9.72% in the day to settle at $0.61 per share. Wall Street edged sharply lower ahead of the opening, after the European Central Bank lifted rates by 75 bps and announced more rates are on the docket while diminishing risks of a recession. Pretty much at the same time, US Federal Reserve chief Jerome Powell hit the wires, reiterating the central bank is "strongly committed" to bringing inflation down. Worldwide central bankers are focused on price pressures, somehow ignoring increasing signs of a potential economic setback.

US indexes shrugged off the negative tone and managed to close the day with uneven gains. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.61%, while the Nasdaq Composite surged by 0.60%. The S&P 500 was the best performer, up a modest 0.17% or 6 points.

Update: NASDAQ: MULN held on to its recovery momentum for the second straight day on Wednesday, adding 1.20% on the day to settle at $0.6723. Despite the recovery attempts, the electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer remains in a downside consolidative phase, having hit fresh seven-month lows at $0.60 on August 30. Unless the MULN stock price recaptures the $0.70 threshold, bulls remain at risk of a fresh downswing towards $0.50. The optimism seen on the major Wall Street indices aided the rebound in the stocks, as traders resorted to repositioning ahead of the ECB monetary policy decision and Fed Chair Powell’s speech due on Thursday.

Update: NASDAQ: MULN posted a modest intraday advance on Wednesday, as Wall Street traded with a better tone. The company added 1.2% to settle at $0.67 per share, marginally higher on the week. US indexes opened with gains, preserving the green throughout the session. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 1.40%, while the S&P 500 gained 74 points.

The Nasdaq Composite was the best performer, up 247 points or 2.15% in the day. Easing Treasury yields provided support to equities after peaking at multi-week highs earlier in the week. Anyway, it is worth noting that the energy sector closed in the red, reflecting investors' concerns about the escalating European crisis. 

On a positive note, the US Federal Reserve Beige book showed that price growth has slowed in 9 of the 12 districts, although most surveyed believe price pressures will last at least until the end of the year.
