$ASPN has monster, secular growth name for the next decade written all over it. Near certainty that use cases for aerogels will keep ramping in an electrified world. Their chief scientist is a legend in the field. PyroThin dominating EV world.

$OPEN underappreciated story line: in the worst 3-4 months in **history** to be an i-buyer (velocity of decline) they are clearing 50-60% of inventory with positive GM. And their 5% fee more than covers holding costs, so they have positive unit economics on say 70% of inventory

In the next approx 2 months, $ASPN will likely announce - major German OEM win - conditional approval of DOE loan, which should fund enough capacity at GA plant to support production of 2 million EV batteries a year ($2b in annual revenue) - blow out Q3 earnings as per usual

$ASPN been annoying the last couple weeks, but its time is rapidly approaching. With **existing** facilities they think they can do $800m+ rev, with 30% margins in 25-26. That’s $240m x 25 PE = $6b mkt cap. More than 3x. And that’s WITHOUT GA capacity

@SamHolliday20 That would be nice. I’m hugely overweight $ASPN right now. I can’t help but keep buying it under $25. I’m hoping the Benz or BMW announcement + DOE conditional + blowout ER = $45 by Thanksgiving

@MiKim1892289 2 things: 1. $800-850 is pretty clearly a stretch goal, not a new forecast 2. They seem to be saying that that’s the run rate they would be at sometime in ‘26 In any case, I’d stand by the comment that $ASPN is likely a $75+ stock in 2 years

I can’t think of any founder I’d rather place a bet on than @Peter_J_Beck . Read about him and watch his interviews. Brilliant, driven, tough, self-taught. It feels like he’s going to make $RKLB a generational company through sheer will (amidst a dozen other great qualities)

The most interesting part of $LPSN is that it’s got a new c-suite from VmWare. Classic turnaround scenario.

$OPEN -53% YTD and -66% last 6 months $OPAD -26% YTD and -39% last 6 months Even after $OPEN posted gaap net income, this spread in performance persists. Officially getting annoying.
