Fair value per share

Under review: every model's value for SES AI Corp is far from the share price, which usually points to a data problem (a merger, a share-count change, a one-off) rather than a bargain or a bubble.

Price vs value

Under review: limited reported history: available models are shown without a Buy/Hold/Sell rating. We'll show the comparison once resolved.

Current signal Free cash flow diverging from earnings: TTM free cash flow grew 16.2% while net income grew 31.9%: a 16pp divergence.

Assembled from SEC-filed figures — the full workings are on this page and in our methodology. Observations, not recommendations.

Strengths

  • Net cash. Cash exceeds long-term debt by $0.1bn.

Things to watch

  • Loss-making. Operating margin is -312.8%: costs exceed revenue.
  • Burning cash. Free cash flow was -257.7% of revenue over the last 12 months.
  • Heavy stock-based pay. Stock pay equals 35.8% of revenue: a real cost that cash-flow figures leave out.
  • High sales multiple. The shares trade at 11 times revenue while operating margins remain thin.
  • Volatile shares. Over the past year the shares showed annualised volatility of 112% and a beta of 3.0 against the S&P 500.
  • Heavily shorted. 13.3% of the shares available to trade are sold short (1.6 days of average volume to cover).
