Investors are selling off shares of self-driving car company Aurora Innovation (NASDAQ: AUR) this week following a critical report that challenges the company's long-term prospects. According to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence, Aurora Innovation's stock has dropped 10.2% from the close of trading last Friday through 12:45 p.m. ET on Thursday.
A Closer Look at the Kerrisdale Capital Report
Kerrisdale Capital wastes no time in its recently released report on Aurora Innovation, stating in its opening sentence that it expects the company "will never become a viable commercial operation."
The report alleges that Aurora's technology is insufficient to handle the complexities of autonomous operation in both urban and suburban environments. Furthermore, Kerrisdale Capital argues that the infrastructure required for autonomous vehicles is prohibitively expensive, deterring trucking companies from adopting Aurora's autonomous solutions.
Kerrisdale Capital concludes its report by stating it doesn't "think there's any chance that Aurora's vision for autonomous trucking will be implemented. There are just too many holes in it."
It's understandable that some investors are reacting negatively to the report and selling their Aurora Innovation shares. However, it's crucial to remember that Kerrisdale Capital holds a short position in Aurora Innovation. This means they profit if Aurora's stock price declines; therefore, their critical assessment should be considered with caution.
Selling Aurora Innovation stock solely based on this report might be premature. Current shareholders should be aware of the inherent risks associated with the company and closely monitor whether Kerrisdale Capital's claims materialize.
Additional Considerations for Investors
While it's important not to panic based on a single report, investors should conduct their own due diligence and assess the risks associated with Aurora Innovation. Consider the following factors:
