Reasons To Be Bullish On Spartan Energy Fisker

There are a number of reasons to be bullish on Spartan Energy Fisker. First, there are now over 7,000 reservations for the Fisker Ocean, scheduled for launch in 2020. In the same amount of time, Tesla only had 3,000 orders for its Model S when it launched.[embed]https://twitter.com/FiskerInc/status/1288992508379140097[/embed]Second, Henrik Fisker is an EV automotive pioneer. He is best known for designing luxury cars including the BMW Z8, Aston Martin DB9, Aston Martin V8 Vantage, Fisker Karma, Galpin-Fisker Mustang Rocket, VLF Force 1 V10, VLF Destino V8, Fisker EMotion, Fisker Ocean, and Fisker Orbit. The Fisker Karma was the world's first premium plug-in hybrid and received a handful of accolades, including the International Design Awards Product Design of the Year, Silver Edison Award, Automobile magazine's Design of the Year Award, Top Gear Car of the Year, Fast Company's Innovation By Design Award, and was named one of Time magazine's 50 Best Inventions of 2011.Third, this is a comeback story for Henrik Fisker. Fisker resigned as chairman from Fisker Automotive in March 2013, because of disagreements with management about business strategy. Later that year, the company declared voluntary bankruptcy. Assets of Fisker Automotive were sold at a bankruptcy auction in 2014 to Chinese automotive parts firm Wanxiang for $149.2 million. In September 2015, Fisker Automotive was renamed Karma Automotive. The Fisker Karma was renamed the Karma Revero in 2016. Henrik Fisker and Fisker Inc are not affiliated with Karma Automotive or its parent company Waxiang. However, the pain of what Henrik went through the first time is driving him to succeed with Spartan Energy Fisker.Fourth, Spartan Energy Fisker just unveiled three new electric vehicles for 2025. Fisker shared an image of its previously announced Ocean SUV in front of three other models: a “super-sports sedan” which is based on the E-Motion concept, another crossover model, and a truck. The pickup is still covered in the latest image, but the company already showed photos of the Alaska pickup back in February.Fifth, reports are that Spartan Energy Fisker will use VW’s MEB electric vehicle platform. Volkswagen supplies the battery pack, platform, and electric motors, and Fisker supplies the bodies. This is a win-win for both companies and lessens the risk of owning Spartan Energy Fisker.Sixth, the key to making big money is getting in early. We weren't the first, but we did recommend Tesla back in 2018. We also got our subscribers into NIO stock between $5 and $6, which you can read here. At current levels, Spartan Energy Fisker is incredibly cheap. The business combination valued Fisker at a $2.9 billion pro forma equity value, at the $10.00 per share PIPE price. Tesla has a current market cap of $294 billion, NIO $15 billion, and Nikola $12 billion.Seventh, the company is partnering with Electrify America for access to its charging stations. Electrify America is investing $2 billion through 2027 to build out a nationwide electric charging network. This puts Fisker's charging capabilities on par with Tesla.Eighth, Fisker is partnering with Cox Automotive for local storage and maintenance services. Cox Automotive has 78 service locations in the U.S. and 108 global locations which will be authorized as full-service maintenance hubs for Spartan Energy Fisker.

Why Is Spartan Energy Fisker Mis-priced?

The reason Spartan Energy Fisker is so cheap at the moment is that the merger has not closed yet. The two companies just agreed to extend the date by which Spartan has to complete a business combination for an additional six months, from August 14, 2020 to February 14, 2021. The Fisker Transaction is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2020. While this is disappointing in the short-term, there two key takeaways.

1. The deal will close
2. Investors get a few extra months to add cheap exposure.

Bottom Line

Spartan Energy Fisker is an opportunity we don't want investors to pass up. We saw what happened with Nikola after its merger with VectoIQ (VTIQ) was approved by shareholders. The stock went from $13 to $90 in less than two months. If we had to pick between owning Fisker or Nikola, we would take Fisker over Nikola any day of the week. Spartan Energy Fisker is Henrik Fisker's comeback vehicle and we can't wait to see what he does to the short-sellers. If the shorts think Elon Musk made them wet their pants, they haven't seen what Henrik Fisker is going to do to them.As always, good luck to all (except the shorts)!
