Mullen Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ: MULN) has been experiencing significant investor interest in recent months, but its share price has yet to reflect positive fluctuations. The company is actively making headlines and expanding rapidly across various EV verticals globally. Despite announcing a $25 million stock buyback program, MULN’s valuation has not appreciated considerably, remaining at around $100 million market capitalization at time of writing.

With a cash position of approximately $235 million, the company shows promise, but further research is needed to understand potential obstacles hindering their growth. Let’s delve into a condensed overview of their news flow to grasp the extent of their growth throughout July and the tail end of June.

Insights from InvestorPlace: A Concise Overview

InvestorPlace wrote a bearish article on MULN, here’s the consolidated version: Mullen Automotive’s (NASDAQ: MULN) stock has faced a significant decline after its removal from the Russell 2000 Index due to failure to meet FTSE Russell’s price requirements. This exclusion from the index may result in selling pressure on MULN shares, despite the company having a substantial cash reserve of over $235 million. Mullen’s market capitalization remains low at around $30 million, leading to concerns about dilution as the company recently announced a potential resale of up to 2.33 billion shares, further increasing the number of outstanding shares. The company implemented a reverse stock split to meet Nasdaq’s listing requirements, but its stock price has continued to fall, putting it at risk of delisting from the exchange and will likely have to do another reverse stock split in the near future. Mullen’s attempts to integrate artificial intelligence technology into its vehicles have not generated substantial market enthusiasm, and its optimistic outlook amid challenging financial circumstances remains unconvincing. As a result, it is advised against holding MULN stock in 2023.
