Highlights
The presenter is short shares of Mobileye (MBLY) and cited a number of issues he views as potentially problematic for the leading designer and manufacturer of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). MBLY's chips and algorithms have been installed in cars since 2007 and cover basic functionality such as automatic braking and lane departure warnings, as well as more complex functionality and autonomous driving. The basic features are being put into more moderately priced cars (after being in higher end models only), and EU regulations mandate that all new vehicles be outfitted with these features by November 1, 2018. Bulls see MBLY winning substantial new business as technology advances (i.e., pedestrian / cyclist detection, speed limit sign recognition, detection of potholes and suspension adjustment, to name a few) and regulation requirements are met. However, the presenter is concerned about competition, ASPs and margins, and sees the potential for shares to trade down into the $20s over time.
