MULN – Electric vehicle company Mullen Automotive (MULN) has lost more than 90% this year and is currently trading at lower than 50 cents. However, it might not be wise to get tempted by the low price and invest in the stock due to its weak fundamentals. Read on….

Automotive company Mullen Automotive, Inc. (MULN) distributes and sells electric vehicles (EVs). The company also operates CarHub, a digital platform that leverages artificial intelligence to offer an interactive solution for buying, selling, and owning a car.

On October 19, MULN announced that the U.S. Bankruptcy Court approved its acquisition of EV company Electric Last Mile Solutions’ (ELMS) assets on October 13 in an all-cash purchase. MULN is expected to acquire ELMS’ manufacturing plant, inventory, and intellectual property.

The stock has declined 93.3% year-to-date and 20.5% over the past month to close its last trading session at $0.35. While MULN has gained 51.4% over the past five days, it is still trading below its 50-day and 200-day Moving averages of $0.51 and $1.44, respectively.

Here are the factors that could affect MULN’s performance in the near term:

Insider Sale

On September 22, MULN’s CEO David Michery sold 750,000 shares at an average price of 40 cents per share. This year, he sold shares on seven occasions starting on January 18, bringing the total sold shares to 2.53 million. The CEO’s actions on MULN could mean his reduced confidence in the company’s prospects.

Bleak Financials

Poor Profitability

MULN’s trailing-12-month ROTC of a negative 618.14% compares to the industry average of 6.79%. Its trailing-12-month ROA of a negative 169.94% compares to the industry average of 5.14%.
