Kursentwicklung der letzten Monate war stark
Rückgang Umsätze von Q2 2022 im Vergleich zu Q2 2023 um 40%
Ausblick von Upstart sehr sehr bescheiden.
Aktie ist hoch bewertet

Vor 5 Tagen leider noch nicht short gegangen. Aber zumindest heute schmeckt es.
Das Thema KI ist jetzt auch erstmal ausgelutscht
Das Ding war noch nie einstellig
Und das Thema KI beginnt gerade erst.. ;)
Es gibt immer Menschen, die keine Kredite bei "normalen" Banken bekommen und auf Upstart -teuer- ausweichen müssen. Vielleicht ja sogar wirklich bald auch im Immobiliensektor
Kursziel 9€ für Ende September.
Bis dahin wird das Ding in den Boden geknüppelt
Durch die enorm hohe Shortquote wird der Kurs weiter Spielball von Zockern und Shorties bleiben.
Das Kerngeschäft wird, ohne Immobilien, wohl noch weiter humpeln,
und die Schulden behindern noch lange.

"Schwache Prognose, fehlende Profitabilität.
Die Prognose des von einem illustren Management-Team gegründeten Finanzdienstleisters, einige der Vorstände arbeiteten früher für die Google-Mutter Alphabet, mit an Bord ist außerdem eine Stipendiatin des deutsch-US-amerikanischen Milliardär und Tech-Investors Peter Thiel, fiel verhalten aus:
Im kommenden Quartal wird ein Umsatz in der Größenordnung des abgelaufenen Vierteljahres erwartet. Beim Gewinn droht ein weiterer Rückschlag, beim nicht bereinigten sowieso. Kalkuliert wird ein Fehlbetrag von 38 Mio. Dollar, das entspricht einem Viertel der erwarteten Erlöse und zeigt, wie weit das Unternehmen noch von Profitabilität entfernt ist.
Zwar verfügt das Unternehmen über 440 Mio. Dollar liquide Mittel, diesen stehen aber etwas mehr als eine Milliarde Dollar Schulden gegenüber. Angesichts der mauen Profitabilitätsprognose kommt der heftige Kurseinbruch daher nicht überraschend..."
.
Meine Chart-Interpretation;
Starke Unterstützungen bei ~30$, ~25,40$, 22,61$
Hab trotzdem gekauft gestern.
Zinsprognosen für 2025
Fed: Morgan Stanley erwartet deutliche Zinssenkungen auf 2,4%
