Porsche Automobil Holding SE

Porsche AG (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/POAHY#OTC">POAHY</a>) has decided to end the production of some of its internal combustion engine models earlier than planned, as the company accelerates its transition to electric vehicles.
This comes after Porsche&#8217;s parent company Volkswagen (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VWAGY#OTC">VWAGY</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/06/39493800/why-do-some-tesla-investors-so-despise-rivian-asks-bullish-gary-black-they-dont-appear-to-get-th">recently invested $5 billion</a> in Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIVN#NASDAQ">RIVN</a>), a rival to Elon Musk&#8216;s Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), as part of its global expansion strategy in the electric vehicle market.
What Happened: The German automaker will discontinue the production of petrol-powered versions of its SUV model Macan for non-European markets by 2026, earlier than initially projected, reported Reuters. The company will then focus on electric versions of the Macan to further its sustainability agenda.
Production of the combustion engine versions of the Boxster and Cayman sports cars, known as the 718 model range, will cease next year. Porsche is already concentrating on the electric versions, which are set to be launched in 2024. The production of petrol-powered versions of the 718 and Macan for European markets has already been stopped.

Albrecht Reimold, a member of Porsche&#8217;s executive board, stated that the decision was driven by the end of the platform&#8217;s cycle. Despite a recent decline in electric vehicle demand, the company remains committed to its electric vehicle strategy.
Why It Matters: The automotive industry is experiencing a significant shift towards electric vehicles. A report by the International Energy Agency predicts that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/04/38386240/automotive-industry-shifts-gears-electric-cars-to-dominate-roads-by-2030">nearly one-fifth of cars in the U.S. and the European Union</a> will be electric by 2030. This shift is expected to reshape the global auto industry and reduce oil consumption for road transport.
However, the transition to electric vehicles has not been without its challenges. The market&#8217;s slower-than-expected adoption of EVs has prompted major automakers to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37688367/electric-vehicle-market-slows-down-prompts-major-automakers-to-shift-strategy">rethink their strategies</a>.

Investor Gary Black has praised Volkswagen&#8217;s move to invest in Rivian, describing it as a strategic fit, highlighting Volkswagen&#8217;s capability to manage autonomous auto businesses across its distinct brands like Audi, Bentley, Lamborghini, and Bugatti.

Volkswagen Gears Up To Capitalize On Elon Musk's Tesla Struggling With Sales: Subsidiary Porsche Accelerates Shift To EVs, Days After German Auto Giant's Rivian Investment

Chinese carmakers have reportedly called upon Beijing to raise tariffs on European gasoline-powered cars. This move is seen as a retaliatory measure against the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39292802/eu-tariffs-on-chinese-evs-raises-red-flags-battery-maker-warns-of-dwindling-demand-for-material-shor">European Union&#8217;s restrictions</a> on the export of Chinese-made electric vehicles.
What Happened: The Chinese auto industry appealed during a closed-door meeting on Tuesday. The meeting was organized by China&#8217;s Ministry of Commerce and was attended by both Chinese and European car companies, including SAIC, BYD (OTCPK: BYDDY), Bayerische Motoren Werke AG (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMWYY#OTC">BMWYY</a>), Volkswagen (OTCPK: VWAGY), and Porsche Automobil (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/POAHY#OTC">POAHY</a>), Reuters reported citing the state-backed Global Times.
The industry representatives suggested that Beijing should consider raising the provisional tariff on gasoline cars with large-displacement engines. This request comes in response to the EU&#8217;s recent imposition of tariffs to protect its car industry from Chinese competition.
&#8220;Personally, I think it is unfair to start a tariff war solely on the basis of (China&#8217;s) capacity utilization rate and insufficient demand for China&#8217;s new energy vehicles,&#8221; said Zhang Yansheng, chief research fellow, China Center for International Economic Exchanges.

The European Commission has indicated that it is open to discussing a mutually agreeable solution to the situation.
Why It Matters: EU car exports to China totaled €19.4 billion ($20.8 billion) in 2023, according to figures from the EU statistics agency. During the same period, the EU imported €9.7 billion worth of electric vehicles from China. China represents approximately 30% of sales for German carmakers.
Germany, the largest exporter of vehicles with engines of 2.5 liters or above, has exported $1.2 billion worth of such vehicles to China since the start of this year, according to Chinese customs data.
The EU&#8217;s decision to impose anti-subsidy duties on Chinese EVs in June has sparked a series of responses from China. The country has vowed to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39291257/china-vows-to-firmly-safeguard-interests-against-new-eu-tariffs-as-ev-makers-experts-give-mixed-reac">safeguard its interests</a> and take all necessary steps to defend its rights. The move is seen as a response to China&#8217;s &#8220;unfair&#8221; use of state support for its EV manufacturers.
These new tariffs could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39306681/fresh-eu-tariffs-could-slow-down-tesla-chinese-rivals-but-warren-buffett-backed-byd-can-profitably-e">potentially slow down</a> Chinese automakers, but companies like Warren Buffet-backed BYD are expected to remain competitive. However, a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/06/39311054/bain-partner-warns-chinese-ev-makers-price-wars-abroad-could-jeopardize-product-quality-and-brand-re">Bain &amp; Co. partner has cautioned</a> that the ongoing price wars among Chinese EV manufacturers in overseas markets could potentially raise doubts about the quality of their products.

Chinese Carmakers Urge Beijing To Increase Tariffs On EU Gasoline Cars In Retaliation For EV Tariffs: Report

Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XIACF#OTC">XIACF</a>) on Monday reportedly said that its<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/12/36420524/xiaomi-announces-the-porsche-taycan-mark-gurman-reacts-to-chinese-ev-makers-new-su7-ev"> SU7 sedan</a>, also known as Speed Ultra, will be priced below 500,000 yuan ($69,372). 
What Happened: This marks the first time the company has confirmed the upper end of its price range, Reuters reported. It has also started displaying the vehicles at its stores across China. 
The SU7 will be available in two versions, with a driving range of up to 668km (415 miles) on a single charge and another with a range of up to 800km, surpassing Tesla&#8217;s Model S range of up to 650km, the report added. 
Official pricing will be announced in an upcoming launch event on March 28 and the company will subsequently start taking orders. 
Why It Matters: The car was first unveiled in December, with Xiaomi aiming to become one of the world&#8217;s top five automakers. During the event, CEO Lei Jun compared the vehicle to the Porsche Taycan and the Tesla Model S, creating expectations for the vehicle to be a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/12/36420524/xiaomi-announces-the-porsche-taycan-mark-gurman-reacts-to-chinese-ev-makers-new-su7-ev" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">higher-end EV.</a>
For 2023, Xiaomi <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37838370/tim-cook-missed-out-on-the-chance-but-xiaomi-ceo-is-showing-off-his-new-ev-factory-uniform-as-apple">recorded a total revenue</a> of 271 billion yuan ($37.64 billion) with an adjusted net profit of 19.3 billion yuan ($2.68 billion), marking a year-on-year growth of 126.3%. This is despite 6.7 billion yuan in expenses related to its new initiatives, including the EV business.

Xiaomi's First Electric Vehicle SU7 To Be Priced Below $70,000

Porsche AG (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/POAHY#OTC">POAHY</a>) investors are grappling with a reality that is far from the supercar stock they had envisioned when the company was spun off by Volkswagen AG (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VWAGY#OTC">VWAGY</a>) in 2022.
What Happened: Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-01-24/porsche-investors-lose-hope-of-a-supercar-stock-to-rival-ferrari">reported</a> on Tuesday that the investors&#8217; optimism has been dampened by a series of setbacks, including a decline in the company&#8217;s market value and a decrease in its price-to-earnings multiple.
The company&#8217;s market value has decreased by about a fifth since the beginning of last year, bringing it closer to that of its former parent, Volkswagen AG. This is a significant shift from the initial €40 billion ($43 billion) gap.
"You thought you were buying into a business that was stable and improving, and it turns out that's not the case," said Jefferies analyst Philippe Houchois.
"The question is, when do we start upgrading numbers?"
China, historically Porsche&#8217;s largest market, has experienced a downturn, and production issues have affected the rollout of crucial models, including the electric version of the Macan SUV.
These challenges have led to a decrease in Porsche&#8217;s price-to-earnings multiple, which is now less than a quarter of Ferrari&#8217;s. The company has also predicted that its 2024 sales volumes will likely remain flat.
Bernstein automotive analyst Daniel Roeska quipped, "Porsche is becoming a cyclical stock that is dependent on the model cycle — it is the opposite of what you want from a luxury company."

Why It Matters: The recent struggles faced by Porsche are in stark contrast to the high expectations that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/08/28665349/porsche-ipo-commands-valuation-of-up-to-85b-amid-global-headwinds-report">accompanied its IPO</a>. The company&#8217;s valuation was initially set at a forward PE ratio of about 20, significantly higher than Volkswagen&#8217;s PE ratio of below 5.
Despite an initial rally in the stock, Porsche&#8217;s valuation has since slumped, leading to investor disappointment. The company&#8217;s reliance on macro-economic forces and its limited options for dealing with a slowdown in China have further contributed to this disillusionment.
However, there is still hope for Porsche investors. The stock&#8217;s decline has created an opportunity for it to outperform Ferrari over the next 12 months, with the average price target of analysts showing a potential 34% gain.
The investors&#8217; sentiments appear at a time when Porsche is set to reveal its<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36735077/porsche-reveals-sneak-peek-of-ev-macan-3-days-before-launch"> upcoming electric Macan</a> in Singapore on Thursday. The new model, which has undergone significant enhancements, represents the company&#8217;s first step in electrifying an existing product, aligning with its strategy to innovate without sacrificing brand identity.
Head of Design Michael Mauer emphasized that the electric Macan maintains Porsche&#8217;s signature design language, ensuring it remains recognizable as a Porsche while embracing its electric identity.

Can Porsche Stock Rival Ferrari? Investors Aren't So Sure: 'It Is The Opposite Of What You Want From A Luxury Company'

German automaker&nbsp;Porsche Automobil Holding SE&nbsp;(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/POAHY#OTC">POAHY</a>) offered a glimpse of its&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/12/36420524/xiaomi-announces-the-porsche-taycan-mark-gurman-reacts-to-chinese-ev-makers-new-su7-ev" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">upcoming electric Macan</a>, set to be revealed in Singapore on Thursday. 
What Happened: Head of design Michael Mauer emphasized that the electric Macan maintains Porsche&#8217;s signature design language, ensuring it remains recognizable as a Porsche while embracing its electric identity. This move aligns with Porsche&#8217;s strategy to electrify existing, established models.
Mauer highlighted that the electric Macan represents the first step in electrifying an existing product, emphasizing Porsche&#8217;s commitment to innovation without sacrificing brand identity. The Macan, initially introduced in 2013, has undergone significant enhancements both inside and out.

The electric Macan boasts a 100 kWh battery and supports fast charging up to 270 kW, providing a range of over 500 km (310 miles) across all variants. This unveiling strengthens Porsche&#8217;s electric vehicle portfolio, with the electric Macan complementing the Taycan in the company&#8217;s push toward electrification.

Porsche Reveals Sneak Peek Of EV Macan 3 Days Before Launch

Porsche AG&#8216;s (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/POAHY#OTC">POAHY</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/07/33360530/porsche-taycan-makes-fastest-ev-journey-from-thailand-to-singapore-heres-how-long-it-took">North American unit </a>has issued a recall for more than 40,000 hybrids and electric vehicles in the U.S. due to a risk of fire from overheating charging cables.
What Happened: Porsche Cars North America, Inc. submitted a filing to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), stating that it is recalling 41,345 units of vehicles across models, including its all-electric sports car Taycan. 
When the 220V/240V plug is used to charge the vehicle at 100% charge setting, certain domestic power outlets may struggle to manage the electrical current required by the charging system, leading to the outlet or charging cable overheating. This can subsequently increase the risk of a fire, the company noted. 
Porsche has instructed owners to avoid using the 220V/240V compact/portable charging cable. Instead, they should opt for the 110V home charging cable or use public charging stations. 
As for a solution, dealers will supply a new 220V/240V compact/portable charging cable with an inbuilt temperature sensor, free of charge. Remedy parts are expected to be available starting mid-2024. 
Why It Matters: Porsche became aware of overheating cables first in Dec. 2020. It deployed a software modification to reduce default charging capacity by 50% to address the issue but later determined that the modification did not resolve the overheating issue, leading to the recall. The company has identified 110 incidents of mobile charge malfunction due to the issue thus far. 
The vehicle models included in the recall besides different <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/09/34467451/porsche-recalls-nearly-5-000-taycan-evs-for-fire-risk-following-volkswagens-recall-of-audi-evs">versions of the Taycan</a> are the Cayenne E-Hybrid, Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid, Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid, Panamera 4 E-Hybrid, Panamera 4S E-Hybrid, and the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid.

Porsche Recommends EV Users To Use Low Voltage Charging Cables As It Recalls 40K Vehicles Citing Fire Risks

The results of an annual survey that explored the reliability of auto brands showed that none of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/23/12/36272696/as-gm-ford-struggle-tesla-analyst-has-recommendation-for-jumpstarting-their-sagging">U.S. automakers</a> made it to the top ten.
What Happened: Asian and European automakers took the honors as the most reliable auto brands in 2023, according to the survey by Consumer Reports, a non-profit organization that does independent product testing and consumer-oriented research.
The findings were based on the survey of Consumer Reports&#8217; members regarding the problems they faced with their vehicles in the past year. The data pertained to 330,000 vehicles of model years 2000 to 2023 as well as a few early-introduced 2024 model years.
Toyota Motor Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TM#NYSE">TM</a>) and its Lexus luxury brand were the top two most trusted brands in 2023. BMW AG&#8217;s (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMWYY#OTC">BMWYY</a>) Mini brand, Honda Motor Company&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HMC#NYSE">HMC</a>) Acura brand as well as its namesake brand took the third, fourth, and fifth spot, respectively. 
Fuji Industries&#8217; Subaru, in which Toyota has a minority stake, Mazda Motor Corporation (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MZDAY#OTC">MZDAY</a>), Porsche Automobil Holding SE (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/POAHY#OTC">POAHY</a>), BMW and Hyundai Motor Company&#8217;s (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HYMTF#OTC">HYMTF</a>) Kia brand rounded the top ten automakers on the reliability scores.
The overall reliability average score of Asian automakers was 63 on a scale of one to 100 and the metric was 46 for European automakers, Consumer Reports said.

Domestic Automakers Trail: The average reliability score for the U.S. automakers was 39 and none of them were in the top ten category. Among the U.S. automakers, the highest reliability score was for General Motors Corp.&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) Buick brand. Buick was ranked 12th and had a reliability score of 55.
Electric vehicle giant Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) took the 14th position and had a reliability score of 48 compared to top-scorer Lexus&#8217; 79. Tesla was followed by truck manufacturer Ram in the 15th place. The Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) was in the 22nd position.
Domestic brands trailed their Asian and European counterparts, with an average score of 39. 
Other Key Findings: The survey also found that hybrids, which are powered by both the ICE and electric motor working either independently or simultaneously, had 26% fewer problems than cars powered by internal combustion engine vehicles. The reliability of plug-in hybrid vehicles, or PHEVs, which rely mainly on electric motors and use ICE only as a backup, was a mixed bag, Consumer Reports said. They were found to have 146% more problems than ICE vehicles. 
Some PHEVs, including Toyota&#8217;s RAV4 Prime and Kia Sportage, performed above average.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/09/34453211/global-ev-market-share-reaches-15-in-2023-top-players-vehicles-and-companies-dominating-sector">EV sedans and SUVs</a> didn&#8217;t fare very well, with average reliability scores of 44 and 43, respectively. The metric was at a worse 30 for electric pickup trucks. Pureplay electrified vehicles had problems, primarily with EV drive system motors, charging systems, and batteries.
The KraneShares Electric Vehicles and Future Mobility Index ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KARS#NYSE">KARS</a>) ended Friday&#8217;s session down 0.55% at $25.37, according to <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/lxquj26b2sag">Benzinga Pro data.</a>

Not Tesla Or Ford: This Foreign Giant Is Most Trusted Auto Brand Of 2023 As US Automakers Trail Behind Asian, European Rivals

Bayerische Motoren Werke AG, better known as BMW, (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMWYY#OTC">BMWYY</a>) looks set to redefine luxury electric vehicles with its upcoming i7 Sedan. The car with a starting price of $105,700 boasts a powerful motor, luxurious in-cabin features, and an advanced technology suite.
What Happened: Bloomberg recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/08/33819755/tesla-investor-ross-gerber-fell-in-love-with-bmws-electric-i7-and-thinks-it-might-kill-off-lucid">revealed</a>&nbsp;the BMW i7&#8217;s performance during a week-long test drive in Los Angeles. The luxury sedan demonstrated its top-tier status, meeting the high standards of even the most discerning executive.
The i7 xDrive 60 variant, costing $124,200, provides extra power and comfort. The tested model, equipped with executive lounge seating and a rear control console, was priced at $156,595.

After Dojo Supercomputer Lead&#8217;s Rumored Exit, AI Infra Head Tim Zaman Jumps Ship To Google&#8217;s DeepMind</a>
The i7&#8217;s design, featuring &#8220;smoke white&#8221; merino leather and a unique door interior pattern, offers a luxurious and efficient environment. Its silent, comfortable ride is enhanced by features like a panoramic sunroof, ventilated massaging seats, and a&nbsp;Bowers and Wilkins surround sound&nbsp;system.
The i7 delivers 536 horsepower from its battery, with&nbsp;a driving range of up&nbsp;to 317 miles. It can reach 60 mph in 4.5 seconds, outperforming rivals such as the Mercedes-Benz EQS and the Porsche Taycan.
Why It Matters: The i7&#8217;s performance and features have already garnered positive attention. Prominent Tesla investor <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/08/33819755/tesla-investor-ross-gerber-fell-in-love-with-bmws-electric-i7-and-thinks-it-might-kill-off-lucid">Ross Gerber expressed his admiration</a> for the i7 in a post in August, suggesting that the vehicle could be a potent competitor for Lucid Motors (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LCID#NASDAQ">LCID</a>) in the EV market. Gerber described the i7 as &#8220;beautiful&#8221; and said it &#8220;might kill off the Lucid.&#8221;
Despite its higher price point, the BMW i7&#8217;s superior craftsmanship and quality establish it as a serious contender in the luxury electric vehicle sector.

BMW Set To Stir Up Luxury EV Market With Its i7 Sedan

German automobile manufacturer Porsche AG (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/POAHY#OTC">POAHY</a>) and tech giant Google (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) have revealed plans to deepen their partnership. This collaboration aims to integrate Google&#8217;s digital services more extensively into future Porsche vehicles.
What Happened:&nbsp;According to a Tuesday <a href="https://newsroom.porsche.com/en/2023/company/porsche-expansion-partnership-google-34205.html">announcement</a> by Porsche AG, the joint effort will focus on enabling Google services for navigation, speech recognition, and access to its app ecosystem in upcoming Porsche models. The production phase for these enhanced vehicles is set to begin midway through this decade.
The proposed new Google ecosystem will incorporate&nbsp;Google Maps, Google Assistant, and&nbsp;a wide range of apps from&nbsp;the Google Play Store. Porsche&nbsp;customers will continue to enjoy&nbsp;the familiar user interface of&nbsp;the Porsche Communication Management (PCM)&nbsp;system, which will constantly receive online updates to ensure its relevance and functionality.

As <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2023/10/30/23938741/porsche-google-built-in-vw-cariad-layoffs">reported </a>by The Verge, Porsche had contemplated adopting Google's software for its in-car infotainment system, amid ongoing software issues at its parent company, Volkswagen.
Despite the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, Porsche managed to maintain robust business figures for Q3 2023, delivering 242,722 vehicles to customers in&nbsp;the first three quarters of&nbsp;the year.

Porsche Announces Expanded Partnership With Google For Enhanced Digital Services In Future Cars

In a move that could send shockwaves through the electric vehicle (EV) industry, the European Commission is scrutinizing the possibility of imposing tariffs <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/23/09/34533403/why-are-chinese-ev-stocks-xpeng-nio-li-auto-trading-lower-wednesday">on cheaper Chinese EV imports.</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tariff Talks Ignite Market Speculation</h2>
Analysts are wasting no time in predicting the potential winners and losers in the face of heightened protectionism, as Forbes <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/neilwinton/2023/09/13/renault-stellantis-could-benefit-from-possible-eu-china-tariffs-bmw-mercedes-victims/?sh=4008519e594e">reported</a> Wednesday. 
French automaker Renault SA (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RNLSY#OTC">RNLSY</a>) and Italian giant Stellantis N.V. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>) could emerge as net winners if tariffs become a reality, thanks to reduced competition in the European market, as highlighted by Bernstein analysts.
On the flip side, premium German automakers such as BMW AG (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMWYY#OTC">BMWYY</a>), Mercedes-Benz Group AG (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MBGAF#OTC">MBGAF</a>), and Porsche Automobile Holding SE (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/POAHY#OTC">POAHY</a>) face greater risks due to their substantial exposure to the Chinese market, according to a recent Morgan Stanley note. 
The broker forecasted that approximately one-third of BMW and Porsche&#8217;s revenues are tied to China, compared to about one-fifth for Mercedes and roughly 3% for Renault, with Stellantis at 1%.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Chinese EV Industry&#8217;s Turbulence</h2>
China&#8217;s electric car industry is not exempt from the fallout. BYD Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>) and SAIC find themselves at a significant disadvantage if tariffs are imposed, according to Bernstein. This uncertainty took a toll on BYD&#8217;s stock, which fell by 2.7% during a volatile trading session on Wednesday.
Other Chinese EV makers, including NIO Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NASDAQ">NIO</a>) and Li Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LI#NASDAQ">LI</a>) were 3.9% and 0.2% lower, respectively. 
While Europe represents a relatively small portion of Chinese original equipment manufacturers&#8217; (OEMs) overseas exposure, it is the largest EV market outside of China. Any trade restrictions imposed by the EU could have a detrimental impact on market sentiment, as highlighted by Bernstein.
The Chinese Chamber of Commerce has not remained silent amid these developments. It has raised concerns about the EU&#8217;s investigation, asserting that the competitive advantage in the EV sector is not solely due to subsidies.

EU Tariff Talks On Chinese EV Imports Jolt Market: 2 European Giants Set To Gain

The EV boom is as real as it gets, but it is by no means an easy road, not even for German automakers who were once behind the automotive&nbsp;industry&#39;s best design and cutting-edge technology.&nbsp;On Monday, the IAA motor show&nbsp;kicked off in Munich, but rather than the sound of Mercedes Benz Group AG (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mbgaf#OTC">MBGAF</a>) cutting-edge engines and sleek visual silhouettes of &nbsp;Porsche Automobil Holding SE (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/poahy#OTC">POAHY</a>), the spotlight will be on Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tsla#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>)&nbsp;that is unveiling an improved version of its best-selling Model 3&nbsp;and China&#39;s all-electric brands, including the biggest Tesla rival, BYD Company Limited (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/byddy#OTC">BYDDY</a>), that is exhibiting six models and XPeng Inc (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/xpev#NYSE">XPEV</a>)&nbsp;that is planning to expand into&nbsp;more European markets next year.
<h3>Tesla Aims To Broaden Its Appeal And Expand Its Markets</h3>
Tesla usually provides information about&nbsp;its new vehicles at its own events, but it now chose to make an appearance at the show for the first time in a decade to unveil an improved version of its Model 3 with an extended cruising range that will be exported from its Shanghai facility to Europe in October. Tesla might have won the first two places at European EV sales with its Model Y and Model 3, but it still needs to crack the EV market below $30,000.&nbsp;
<h3>European Automakers</h3>
Bayerische Motoren Werke Aktiengesellschaft (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bmwyy#OTC">BMWYY</a>) came to its hometown show with an exclusive on its Vision Neue Klasse concept. On&nbsp;Saturday, BMW unveiled a concept car for its new EV series that has been named as &ldquo;new class&rdquo;, with its launch scheduled for 2025. BMW announced six models that include sedans and SUVs, equipped with a new cylindrical in-car battery, a 30% longer cruising range along with 30% shorter recharging time compared to its existing models.
Mercedes-Benz Group revealed a coupe-style EV, CLA concept car. This is the first model to be equipped with a car body exclusively developed for small and midsize EVs. This Mercedes Benz EV will come with a cruising range of more than 750 kilometers which will exceed many competing models on the market.&nbsp;
Volkswagen AG (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/vwagy#OTC">VWAGY</a>)&nbsp;CEO Oliver Blume revealed to reports that through the automaker&rsquo;s partnerships in China, Volkswagen aims to halve battery cell costs.
<h3>BYD Is Going After Europe</h3>
BYD might have sold just 1,900 vehicles across Western Europe in July, but it is going full speed ahead in bringing its tech eco-friendly EVs to Europe. It already dethroned Volkswagen in China as a best-selling brand. During the show, it unveiled a new sedan and sport utility vehicle,&nbsp;SUV Seal U while bringing an impressive lineup of 6 strong EVs.&nbsp;Last month, Michael Shu, managing director of BYD Europe said that BYD became the first automaker in the world to deliver five million fully electric or hybrid plug-in vehicles.
<h3>XPeng Is Coming After Europe Too, With The Help Of Volkswagen</h3>
Start-ups like Xpeng still need to reach German automakers&#39; scale, branding and investments to lower costs in order to survive in an increasingly competitive market. But XPeng is planning to expand its European footprint next year, with Germany, Britain and France.&nbsp;Through its recent partnership with Volkswagen who acquired&nbsp;a nearly 5 percent stake in the EV startup and invested $700 million, XPeng gained the &lsquo;fuel&rsquo; and a European supporter it needs.&nbsp;
<h3>China Has Its Eyes Set On Europe&nbsp;</h3>
In a pre-show open letter, Europe&#39;s chief car lobbyist at the ACEA association,&nbsp;Sigrid de Vries, wrote that&nbsp;China&rsquo;s EV arrival to Europe has the potential fundamentally change the face of Europe&rsquo;s industries as we know it,&quot;. Matthias Schmidt, an automotive analyst, warned European automakers of being at a risk of falling short in the EV race, saying that &ldquo;If Paris wasn&rsquo;t a wake-up call, Munich certainly is,&rdquo;. For decades, the phrase &ldquo;Made in Germany&rdquo; was the gold standard of the automotive industry, but the Munich Auto Show highlighted China&rsquo;s strength on the EV front.&nbsp;

Munich Auto Show Highlights China's EV Strength

On March 13th, luxury automaker Porsche Automobile Holding (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/poahy#OTC">POAHY</a>) issued&nbsp;an ambitious growth outlook after record 2022 earnings.&nbsp;Meanwhile, in the all-EV world, XPeng Inc (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/xpev#NYSE">XPEV</a>)&nbsp;wrapped up a disappointing year on March 17th.&nbsp;Put together, these two reports amplify what a difference pricing can make, even in a weakened macroeconomic environment, as it is still Porsche&rsquo;s superpower and XPeng&rsquo;s Achilles heel.
<h3>XPeng&rsquo;s Fourth Quarter</h3>
For the quarter ended on December 31st, XPeng posted a wider-than-expected net loss of 2.36 billion yuan ($342 million), below&nbsp;the 2.1 billion yuan deficit analyst were&nbsp;expecting&nbsp;and last year&rsquo;s loss of 1.29 billion yuan.&nbsp;Revenue melted 40 percent to&nbsp;5.14 billion yuan, below the forecasted 5.7 billion yuan.
<h3>XPeng&rsquo;s Outlook</h3>
What&rsquo;s even more concerning than a disappointing 2022 is that XPeng guided that&nbsp;deliveries could drop as much as 48 percent&nbsp;in the undergoing quarter compared to 2022&rsquo;s first quarter, as it expects to deliver&nbsp;18,000 to 19,000 vehicles, with total revenue in the range between 4 billion yuan and 4.2 billion yuan, which would mark a decrease in the range between 44 percent to 46 percent compared to last year&rsquo;s quarter.
Co-President Brian Gu stated that sales and market share growth should be resumed with product portfolio optimization&nbsp;and the significant marketing improvements&nbsp;while CEO He Xiaopeng assured that the company has &ldquo;comprehensively&rdquo; reviewed its strategy.&nbsp;But Bloomberg Intelligence said in a recent note that the launch of new models and capacity expansion over the next two years could continue capping the gross marging, despite China&rsquo;s EV sales being expected to rise as the resurfaced covid crisis fades away.
<h3>XPeng&rsquo;s Susceptibility To Price Competition</h3>
Compared to its U.S.-listed rivals Nio Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nio#NYSE">NIO</a>) and Li Auto Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/li#NASDAQ">LI</a>), Xpeng is more similar to&nbsp;Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tsla#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>)&nbsp;when it comes&nbsp;to its product portfolio&nbsp;and pricing&nbsp;which makes it more susceptible to price competition. In its own, facing off Tesla, the EV pioneer, is daunting in itself. Earlier this year, XPeng slashed prices of its two flagship models only a fewdays after Tesla announced significantly discounted prices of its locally-built models.
<h3>Wrapping Up A&nbsp;Disappointing Year</h3>
In 2022, XPeng delivered 120,757 vehicles, which is less than half of its initial goal, with its shares slumping 80 percent as it also postponed its target of reaching operating profitability to 2025. Despite challenges and&nbsp;against many odds, Tesla fulfilled its profitability promise back&nbsp;in 2020.
<h3>Porsche</h3>
On March 13th,&nbsp;Porsche issued an ambitious long-term outlook of more than 20% of return on sales, along with&nbsp;record 2022&nbsp;revenue and operating profit&nbsp;owed to&nbsp;higher deliveries.&nbsp;2022 revenue amounted to 37.6 billion euros, $40.22 billion, which translates to a 13.6% YoY increase.&nbsp;2022 operating profit rose by 27% as it amounted to 6.77 billion euros ($7.23 billion) as deliveries rose by 2.6% to 309,884 units.&nbsp;Supply chain constraints caused only Taycan sales to drop.
<h3>EV Lineup</h3>
One might think that besides playing in different leagues, these two automakers are playing in entirely different fields altogether. But,&nbsp;Porsche aims for 80% of its new sales to be made by EVs by the end of the decade.&nbsp;During its latest report,&nbsp;it revealed it will add a full-sized all-electric SUV to its line-up before 2030 ends. Based on the Volkswagen Group Scalable Systems Platform, the SUV will be Porsche&rsquo;s fifth electric vehicle. The first EV, the Taycan, was launched in 2019, the all-electric Macan is expected to go on sale in 2024, followed by the Porsche 718 EV sometime near 2025 and&nbsp;last but not least, the Cayenne EV which will represent a new approach for Porsche, but combined with its traditional values, such as the very luxurious experience for customers, according to the&nbsp;CEO Oliver Blume.&nbsp;The newly reported SUV is part of&nbsp;its Road to 20&nbsp;strategy, which aims to increase operating return on sales beyond 20% with Porsche well on the way with return on sales already having improved from 16% to 18% last year.
<h3>Pricing Makes All The Difference</h3>
Because of its luxurious positioning, Porsche is able to reach high pricing levels&nbsp;and it is rising prices continuously within what is a very clear pricing strategy, as opposed to jumping up and down. During the first week of being listed on the German stock market on September 29th, Porsche dethroned&nbsp;Volkswagen AG (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/vwagy#OTC">VWAGY</a>),&nbsp;who&nbsp;owns 75%&nbsp;less&nbsp;one ordinary share of Porsche&rsquo;s total share capital, as it became Europe&rsquo;s most valuable automaker. With a profit margin of 18%, CEO Oliver Blume finds that a strong year is a result of a well-made product mix and efficient cost strategy that helped the luxurious automaker thrive in a gloom and doom environment. Meanwhile, XPeng is battling fiercely in China for its market share, needing plenty of EV martial arts to stay in the game. What a difference pricing can make!

Xpeng's And Porsche's Latest Results- What A Difference Pricing Power Makes

The World Economic Forum held its annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, last month. During this event, organizations such as the INGLOSUS Foundation, chaired by Dr. Nader Maleki &mdash; who is&nbsp;the CEO of Maleki Corporate Group and president of the International Bankers Forum &mdash;&nbsp;held gatherings nearby to bolster the annual meeting&rsquo;s messaging around sustainability.
Benzinga attended Dr. Maleki&rsquo;s event and interviewed <a href="https://1io.com">1iO</a> CEO and founder Markus Kuhnert, as well as co-founder Frank Zachmann.
Here is a lightly edited transcript of the conversation.
<h3>BZ: Nice to meet you. Care to introduce yourselves?</h3>
Zachmann: I self-studied the Internet and worked in the data center business. After seeing all of the rising stars during the dot-com era fall with the bursting of the bubble, I founded a consultancy business through which I engaged in impact projects.
I have the strategy-building expertise and connections to make my most recent endeavor with Markus a success.
Kuhnert: I built brand management software. My first big enterprise customer was 3M Co&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mmm#NYSE">MMM</a>), and I also worked with the likes of Porsche Automobile Holding SE (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/poahy#OTC">POAHY</a>) and Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/msft#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>).
The product enabled global collaboration and coordination. Eventually, we came up with the idea to use <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-blockchain-penny-stocks/">blockchain</a> for decentralized applications like messaging, while reducing carbon footprint.
<h3>BZ: Talk about challenges as well as case studies.</h3>
Zachmann: Our starting point is a messenger application that can include any function you want in terms of exchanging information or data. We can include things like transportation and delivery services, as well as music wish lists.
For me, a special component is the support of tokens attached to that ecosystem. You end up having an efficient, secure&nbsp;and reliable communication or collaboration system as a start. Later, we can add more functionality.
Kuhnert: The current problem is that many businesses&rsquo; preferred solutions are not open, and we can try to be the glue in between and connect those different solutions.
Essentially, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-blockchain-penny-stocks/">blockchain</a> we have is a process network, and the most basic process we have is communication between two people, but can also be communication between a person and a machine or between one machine and another.
<h3>BZ: How do you incentivize people to use this offer?</h3>
Zachmann: How many people use decentralized messaging systems? A few. To increase this amount, we&rsquo;re looking to education. We can also have the usual giveaways like airdrops, and we can work with different partners in order to enable that, as well as listen to users&rsquo; feedback.
<h3>BZ: What are you most excited about going forward?</h3>
Zachmann: The Internet has some inherent mistakes. If we can correct these mistakes, we can get to a way more efficient and broader use of the Internet than we do now.
We are reaching a threshold where the next level of huge amounts of data that will be produced will, on the one side, either make the current Internet collapse or, at least, not be efficiently transported and distributed.
I&rsquo;m excited about the sustainability part of our endeavor, as well as the social impact. If we can create an ecosystem that everybody can use and generates value, we may detach from the current environment and reset the whole system.
Kuhnert: I&rsquo;m excited to get a prototype out of the door. We have built this with all the technological foundations underneath, and now it&#39;s about creating or defining end-user experiences and building proper user interfaces for them.
One of the big goals we have is to make this accessible for everyone, even grandmas, so to speak. The interfaces are usable so we can give them to any person, and they can start using them without training.

Davos 2023: Reducing The Carbon Footprint Of The Internet While Making It More Stable

The World Economic Forum (WEF) recently held its annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland where leaders in finance and government convened to discuss policy, pandemic fragmentation and multipolarity.
Benzinga attended the event and interviewed Jeff Schumacher, the founder and CEO at NAX, the New Asset Exchange.
Prior to NAX, Schumacher was at McKinsey &amp; Company where he became one of the fastest-elected partners in the firm and helped launch McKinsey Solutions. This effort led to Schumacher&rsquo;s work in private equity and venture capital where he helped create Digital Ventures, which BCG acquired and turned into one of the largest corporate incubators. Today, NAX employs over 100 workers near global centers of finance.
Please note that the below text was lightly edited for clarity and concision.
<h3>BZ: What does NAX do?</h3>
Schumacher: NAX creates products from corporate datasets. Through our joint ventures with the likes of MIAX and Deutsche Boerse (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/dboey#OTC">DBOEY</a>), we place these products in different markets.
<h3>Who does NAX provide these solutions for primarily?</h3>
We&rsquo;re working with the likes of Axa SA (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/axahy#OTC">AXAHY</a>), one of our largest partners and an investor in the business. Axa is one of the largest insurers of arts in the world. We take their data set and lift part of it to create a lending platform. If you think about it, you can go down to a car dealership and buy a car with a loan on the spot. You can&rsquo;t go to the art gallery and get an art loan the same way. We&rsquo;re doing what car lending did to the auto industry for art.
<h3>How much would a typical loan be worth?</h3>
Depends. Potentially $50,000 to $500,000. It&rsquo;s definitely not the stuff you&rsquo;re buying at Costco Wholesale Corporation (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cost#NASDAQ">COST</a>). Another important factor is that you can leave the art on the wall, and you don&rsquo;t have to warehouse it. We&rsquo;re taking the data sets and working with our partners to create an art-backed security that looks and trades like a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mortgage-lenders-no-tax-returns/">mortgage</a>-backed security.
<h3>What&rsquo;s the difference between a mortgage- and art-backed security in terms of yield?</h3>
You&rsquo;re going to have a shorter and higher yield in an art-backed security. It helps you lift the balance sheet pressure you otherwise would have when giving the art loans.
<h3>You just launched a massive arbitrage platform, right?</h3>
Yes. It gets a bounty for the insurance, a fee for the loan, and a piece of the trade. However, it doesn&rsquo;t carry any assets. This platform will be a big channel partner for Axa&rsquo;s core business.
<h3>What makes NAX so unique?</h3>
We can commercialize ESG and allow you to make money from it. This art platform I just described to you is democratizing art. It&#39;s increasing participation in art. We have other products that we&#39;re building around the environment and climate where you can actually get returns versus just paying a tax, as you do with carbon credits.
<h3>What kind of impact can you make by commercializing ESG?</h3>
We&rsquo;re working on things around carbon removal functions on the planet. For instance, we have this concept around funding methane capture. So, you buy the methane credit and that money goes to fund the leaks in pipes and pumps around the world. Through that, you can pull out about 10% of the world&rsquo;s global carbon. There&rsquo;s another one where we can limit deforestation, as well as recapturing batteries out of cars to use that as power generation. We can also create derivatives of those products and ways for companies to make money from them.
<h3>Can you talk about some of the mechanics going on behind the scenes?</h3>
We first engaged in the development side of our business. Then we built the software side of our business. Now, we&#39;re building the exchange side of the business, and we have made a consumer finance platform. We also have an aftermarket warranty platform we&#39;re putting on the market this year. We put the art product on the market this year. We&#39;re putting in a supply chain product. We&#39;ll have about 10 products out this year, and we&#39;ll probably have three or four exchange products by end of the year.
<h3>Talk a little bit about your roadmap.</h3>
We spent a long time in our first year identifying the corporate members and exchange partners. In our second and third years, we developed a proprietary method to work with them, and we developed the software. In our fourth year, we&#39;ve got the exchange partnerships, we&#39;ve got the software, we&#39;ve got the development method. Now we&#39;re commercializing and, around late 2024, we&#39;ll probably merge or go public.
<h3>What gives NAX its principle?</h3>
What gives NAX principle is its capability of commercializing ESG. And, if you look at the planet and what you&#39;re hearing here at Davos today, this is a big deal. We create proprietary products. Exchanges really like that. That&#39;s where they make all their money. You don&#39;t make money on commoditized products. You make money on proprietary products. So, once you have that software development capability, and the ability to produce those products, you become very interesting to a lot of exchanges. And that&#39;s why if you listen to me list all the cities we&rsquo;re in, it&#39;s by no accident that many of the big exchanges are there. We work with a lot of them.
<h3>How are you able to break into these new assets and markets with such ease?</h3>
If you look at our leadership team, most of them have worked together for 20 years. We have a very unique capability of working in corporate environments. If you look at how NAX works, it goes to its corporate member, sets up a platform there and that incubator goes and looks at their corporate data sets and creates new products. Over a five-year time, there should be a portfolio of 10 to 15 products coming from that.
<h3>What are some of the results you&rsquo;re seeing?</h3>
Look at one of our partners who are in manufacturing. I think we have five products under development and two products that are launched. Those two products, with them as a customer, were valued at $400 and $600 million. That&#39;s a 409A valuation.
<h3>Where do you think you need to be directed to make good on some of these things that we&rsquo;re talking about here at Davos?</h3>
The goal for NAX is to help our corporate members commercialize ESG. If we&#39;re successful in doing that, and some of these platforms can remove significant amounts of carbon, we&#39;ll be on the main stage talking about these products at the WEF. If I&#39;m really right, we won the Nobel Prize. Without NAX, the planet may have no hope of hitting the 1.5 degrees Celsius reduction required by 2030. We&#39;re going to get into a biotic negative feedback loop or the point of no return, and it&#39;s just going to accelerate.
<h3>If we remove Europe, are we only doing little to impact climate change?</h3>
Europe&#39;s only responsible for 10%. You have to go find the other 90%. If you look at deforestation, can we fund markets to stop it? We lose 80,000 acres a day in deforestation. If you stopped it, and you can fund these markets to actually pay people not to develop the land, you remove 15% of the global carbon, or seven times what the United States emits. We&#39;re looking at tectonic moves. We&#39;re looking at how to create a market that people can make money from today, and then you&#39;ll change behavior.
<h3>So the private <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-sectors-to-invest-in-right-now/">sector</a> has the answer?</h3>
If you can find ways to make money, you&#39;ll move the market. California, for example, mandated 10% of electric cars forever many times over. They kept pushing the dates. Then Tesla comes along with a car people actually want, and, now, it outsells BMW (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bmwyy#OTC">BMWYY</a>), Porsche Automobile Holdings SE (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/poahy#OTC">POAHY</a>), and Mercedes Benz Group (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mbgyy#OTC">MBGYY</a>) combined in California. The point is to build something that has equitable value.
<h3>What has to happen to get in the way of some of the goals you have?</h3>
The ability to acquire talent is one of the hardest things. You actually have to find talent that has an investor&#39;s mindset, an operator&#39;s mindset, and an entrepreneur&rsquo;s mindset. Then, you got to know something about the industry, or you can&#39;t feel your way through the dark. If we&#39;re in health care, you better know what you&#39;re doing because you got a whole bunch of regulations. If you&#39;re in financial services, you better know what you&#39;re doing there.
<h3>Why are you so passionate about this?</h3>
Adjacent growth. Nobody does what we do. Imagine if the Nasdaq Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ndaq#NASDAQ">NDAQ</a>) owned a piece of every company that is traded on its exchange. That&rsquo;s us. We own a piece of every product we create. That incentivizes us to push it to others. We&#39;re not chasing a market, we&#39;re making one.
<h3>At what point does it become attractive for a competitor to enter?</h3>
Now. Because we&#39;ve been so stealthy, it&#39;s very hard to figure out what we&#39;re doing. It will be very easy now because we&#39;re getting to be very open about what we&#39;re doing, but we spent four and a half years. Have fun trying to catch up.
<h3>Any concerns regarding regulation?</h3>
The regulation we&#39;re not worried about because we operate within the environment. To note, if the market wants it, the regulation will adjust. Think of Uber Technologies Inc (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/uber#NYSE">UBER</a>). They created something that went against the regulation, but the regulation was adjusted because the consumer wanted it. We&#39;re not worried about regulation because the products we do come out at scale, and people can see they work. We&#39;re launching the aftermarket platform, and it starts day one with 10 million customers. Imagine you&#39;re an entrepreneur and you launch a product, and you get 10 million customers on day one. You just win. You&#39;re at scale.
<h3>What makes a product less likely to fail?</h3>
Our products fail for three reasons. First is product market fit. Next is talent. Put the wrong team in, and you&#39;re going to drive it right off the cliff. Another big reason is capital. That&#39;s why most of our things failed. We did not have sufficient capital for growth. You&#39;re spending for marketing or whatever else, and you just starve the thing and it dies. A big thing, when we started NAX, was to start with an asset. So, we don&rsquo;t start without a corporate asset or data set that comes out at scale. This gives us unfair advantages in the marketplace because you have an opportunity to make the market. I don&rsquo;t have to acquire 10 million customers. I got them on day one and my customer acquisition cost or CAC is zero.
<h3>What&rsquo;s one easy way to pitch NAX to a potential customer?</h3>
Traditional exchanges give you liquidity either by issuing shares, which are dilutive to your ownership or issuing bonds, which are debt. We don&#39;t create dilution or debt. We just create adjacent growth. We&#39;re like an exchange that gives liquidity without creating dilution or debt.
<h3>Thoughts on the crypto market, broadly speaking?</h3>
Currencies are based on monetary policy. Monetary policies are based on governments. Governments are backed by militaries. Unless you&rsquo;re going to build that infrastructure, you are going to have a tough time competing. Though I&rsquo;m starting to see many people pivot away, there are going to be a few Web 3.0 companies that come out of this.

<li>Group14&rsquo;s material can easily replace or work alongside graphite, allowing it to be integrated into the existing battery supply chain, which should help the company grow more quickly, Middaugh said.</li>
