Netlist, Inc. (OTCMKTS: NLST) Big Reversal Brewing as Semiconductor Revenues Grow Exponentially & Co Keeps Winning in Patent Infringement Lawsuits

Published

on

Netlist, Inc. (OTCMKTS: NLST) major reversal brewing as NLST is under heavy accumulation at current levels. NLST is one of the most exciting stocks we have reported on here at MIcrocapdaily (since it was sub $0.50) and we will be reporting on it when it up lists to NASDAQ a move that will double the current market valuation at least. Netlist keeps winning and winning big in their patent infringement lawsuits against Samsung and Google. In 2021 Netlist won a settlement against SK Hynix and more recently they won an important victory against Google when Judge Seeborg ruled on Claim 16 and denied intervening rights to Google making it liable for infringement of Netlist technology dating back to 2004. There are also still multiple cases against Samsung and Micron that Netlist sits in very strong positions. Samsung had their previous contract with Netlist voided which makes all the licensed technology they sold during the period of the contract open to litigation. And, like the Google case, we know that they infringed Netlist technology.   

Netlist has seen massive growth of its business over the past year and the Company now sits in a strong position to collect massive settlements in what could be the largest patent infringement lawsuit in history that could catapult this situation into a whole new stratosphere. During the past year alone the Company’s rapidly growing semiconductor business has doubled. According to the Company’s recent Q2 filing Netlist product sales for the second quarter ended July 2, 2022 were $55.4 million, compared to net product sales of $24.4 million for the second quarter ended July 3, 2021 and $50.2 million in the most recent quarter. Net loss for the second quarter ended July 2, 2022 was ($5.0) million, or ($0.02) per share and as of July 2, 2022, cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash was $60.6 million, total assets were $99.6 million, working capital was $46.3 million, and total debt was $8.2 million. The upside on Netlist is enormous as the Company’s semiconductor business continues to grow exponentially while the aggregate of the multiple infringement lawsuits Netlist is pursuing could very well yield the largest patent infringement settlements in history.

Netlist, Inc. (OTCMKTS: NLST) provides high-performance solid-state drives and modular memory solutions to enterprise customers in diverse industries. The Company’s NVMe SSDs in various capacities and form factors and the line of custom and specialty memory products bring industry-leading performance to server and storage appliance customers and cloud service providers. Netlist licenses its portfolio of intellectual property including patents, in server memory, hybrid memory and storage class memory, to companies that implement our technology. Netlist holds a portfolio of 130 issued and pending U.S. and foreign patents, many seminal, in the areas of hybrid memory, storage class memory, rank multiplication and load reduction, among others. The strength of Netlist’s patent portfolio reflects its many years of research and development and track record of bringing disruptive new products to market.  

The Company invented the distributed buffer architecture that enables the buffering of data signals along the bottom edge of the memory module using multiple data buffer devices distributed between the edge connector and the DRAM. The result is shorter data paths, improved signal integrity, and reduced latency compared to the industry-standard design for DDR3 load-reduced dual in-line memory module (“LRDIMM”). The memory industry has widely adopted our distributed architecture for DDR4 LRDIMM. Our HyperCloud product was our first LRDIMM product built on this distributed buffer architecture. 

Netlist has designed special algorithms that can be implemented in stand-alone integrated circuits or integrated into other functional blocks in application-specific integrated circuits (“ASICs”). We utilize these algorithms in our HybriDIMM product to incorporate load reduction functionality. We also incorporate these algorithms in our NVvault product line, which is also known in the industry as NVDIMM-N. 

The Company is led by visionary CEO C.K. Hong, CEO, who brings over two decades of high-tech management experience to Netlist. He most recently served as President of Infinilink, a DSL equipment manufacturer, and as executive vice president of Viking Components, Inc. Prior to that, he spent 15 years with LG where he held various senior management positions in the U.S and Korea. Mr. Hong holds an MS in technology management from Pepperdine University and a BS in economics from Virginia Commonwealth University.

Earlier this year Netlist reported financial results for the second quarter ended July 2, 2022.

Second Quarter 2022 Highlights: 

  • Net product sales more than doubled to $55.4 million compared to $24.4 million for last year’s quarter. 
  • Product gross profit dollars increased by 66%. Product gross profit was $4.7 million compared to $2.9 million for last year’s quarter. 

Net product sales for the second quarter ended July 2, 2022 were $55.4 million, compared to net product sales of $24.4 million for the second quarter ended July 3, 2021 and $50.2 million in the most recent quarter. Product gross profit for the second quarter ended July 2, 2022 was $4.7 million, compared to a product gross profit of $2.9 million for the second quarter ended July 3, 2021 and $3.4 million for the most recent quarter. 

Total net sales for the second quarter ended July 2, 2022 was $55.4 million, compared to total net sales of $64.4 million for the second quarter ended July 3, 2021. Net loss for the second quarter ended July 2, 2022 was ($5.0) million, or ($0.02) per share, compared to a net income in the prior year period of $27.8 million, or $0.12 per diluted share. These results include stock-based compensation expense of $0.8 million and $0.4 million for the quarters ended July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021, respectively. 

As of July 2, 2022, cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash was $60.6 million, total assets were $99.6 million, working capital was $46.3 million, total debt was $8.2 million, and stockholders’ equity was $47.9 million. 

On August 8 Netlist reported the United States District Court for the District of Delaware issued an Order granting in part Netlist’s motion for dismissing Samsung’s First Amended Complaint and denying Samsung’s request to file a Second Amended Complaint. The Court issued a written opinion supporting the Order, and dismissed Samsung’s Counts IV, V, VI, VII, X, and XI from the case. The partial dismissal means Samsung cannot pursue a separate action on the patents Netlist first asserted in Texas, and now cannot carry out its alleged obligation to protect Google from the ‘912 Patent in Delaware. In addition, Samsung voluntarily withdrew its Motion to Sever and Stay the case that Netlist brought in the Eastern District of Texas. Separately, following the Order, Netlist filed a complaint against Samsung in the Eastern District of Texas for Samsung’s infringement of the ‘912 Patent. 

Jayson Sohi, Netlist’s Director of IP Strategy, said, “We are pleased Judge Andrews dismissed half of the pending claims from Samsung’s Delaware lawsuit, including the ‘912 claim. We look forward to continue defending our intellectual property rights in the remaining portion of this case.”

Aemetis Inc. (NASDAQ: AMTX) Pioneers Renewable Fuel Market with EPA Approval

Published

on

Aemetis (NASDAQ: AMTX) shares surged 105% this week. The renewable natural gas and renewable fuels company received approval from the EPA.

Aemetis, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMTX) shares surged 105% this week. The renewable natural gas and renewable fuels company received approval from the U.S. EPA to generate renewable identification numbers (RINs) under the federal Renewable Fuel Standard. They have six dairy biogas digesters up and running, with a seventh one scheduled to start operating in June 2023.

Aemetis plans to generate multiple sources of revenue from its renewable natural gas. They will sell the gas to replace petroleum diesel in transportation, sell California Low Carbon Fuel Standard credits to fuel blenders who need to meet carbon reduction requirements in California, sell the RINs generated under the federal Renewable Fuel Standard, and benefit from production tax credits starting in 2025 under the Inflation Reduction Act.

They have completed constructing and operating six dairy digesters, a biogas pipeline spanning over 40 miles, a central facility to upgrade biogas to renewable natural gas, and a utility pipeline interconnection unit. The renewable natural gas is injected into the utility gas system and stored underground until Aemetis Biogas obtains carbon intensity (CI) pathway approvals from the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to sell credits under the California Low Carbon Fuel Standard.

They have already completed 90 days of renewable natural gas production and data collection required for the CARB approval process. While the final pathway is under review by CARB, Aemetis can use a temporary CI pathway with a value of -150, allowing them to start generating revenue in the third quarter of 2023.

Where could Aemetis, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMTX) be in 5 years?

The company has an ambitious Five Year Plan to generate substantial revenue and reduce air and carbon pollution. The plan projects $2.0 billion in revenues, $496 million in net income, and $682 million in adjusted EBITDA by 2027, with strong compound annual growth rates. Aemetis aims to expand its operations by producing Renewable Natural Gas (RNG), Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), Renewable Diesel fuel (RD), and other low-carbon products. The plan emphasizes the positive financial impact of the Inflation Reduction Act.

The plan highlights the financial benefits of the Inflation Reduction Act, which enables the transfer of tax credits and incentives related to production, projected to improve net income by $341 million in 2027.

The plan also focuses on revenue growth in all product lines, including expanding the dairy RNG business, constructing a renewable jet/diesel plant, implementing carbon sequestration, and improving energy efficiencies. 

The company has already achieved significant milestones, such as completing biogas pipeline construction, upgrading facilities for biogas-to-RNG production, and progressing in carbon sequestration and renewable jet/diesel plant development. The company has also secured a biodiesel purchase agreement in India and made strides in constructing a solar microgrid and implementing energy-efficient measures.

Chinese Nasdaq listings the next meme stock rally?

Published

on

Small and micro-cap Chinese companies listed in the U.S. are experiencing a surge in share prices, similar to the 2020 meme rallies during COVID.

Small and micro-cap Chinese companies listed in the U.S. are experiencing a surge in share prices, similar to the 2020 meme rallies during COVID. These rallies appear driven by social media sites used by individual traders and financial influencers.

Online brokerage firm Top Financial Group $TOP stock rose by nearly 4000% from $6.90 to $250 per share, while Magic Empire Global $MEGL stock jumped over 400% to $4.56 per share. 

Both stocks are now popular among retail investors on Stocktwits, Twitter, Discord, Reddit – you name it. Two other companies, Top KingWin $TCJH and U Power $UCAR, also saw their shares rise by 130% and 105%, respectively.

Thoughts from retail traders

With $TOP and $MEGL being the talk of the town, it’s safe to say that they have gained massive popularity online. Their growth and buzz are reminiscent of $AMC and $BB during their respective rallies in previous years. Some of the largest traders with over 1M followings have these stocks on their radar.

What does the NASDAQ have to say?

The NASDAQ regulatory body has a history of caution toward these kinds of investments. In October 2022, they stopped preparations for over four other micro-cap Chinese IPOs due to short-lived rallies following their debuts. Furthermore, U.S. exchanges and FINRA have issued warnings regarding the increased likelihood of fraud, especially in the IPOs of small companies, which are often influenced by social media-driven pump-and-dump schemes like the infamous “pig butchering” tactic.

Chinese Macro backdrop

While there was a significant sell-off just two weeks ago when China implemented stricter regulations regarding generative AI systems like ChatGPT, Chinese stocks are again on the rise. This is primarily due to the positive earnings forecast of electric car giant BYD and Chinese banks, which has sparked optimism in the market. The volatility of Hong Kong stocks over the past year far surpasses the meme stock frenzy of 2021, and savvy traders who can accurately time the market and make sound exit decisions are reaping significant profits. However, this requires long hours of tracking trends and charts, and those not up for the challenge risk losing everything by the following day.

We will update our subscribers when more details emerge, so make sure you are subscribed to Microcapdaily to know what’s happening with China meme stocks.
