Is Wolfspeed Stuck in Neutral?

Wolfspeed (NYSE: WOLF) is one of Wall Street's ultimate battleground stocks. As the world's largest provider of silicon carbide, it supplies one of the most necessary materials for next-generation Electric Vehicles. Based on the size of its potential market and the long-term supply agreements with large automakers, its stock appears to be extremely undervalued. Yet Wolfspeed is also facing some serious headwinds, specifically in government-supported financing to construct its fabs and lagging demand for EVs from consumers. It's fallen short of its explicitly-stated guidance, which has hurt its credibility with investors. So is Wolfspeed's stock a howling buy or a whimpering sell? In today's episode, 7investing Simon Erickson describes several of the opportunities and challenges that Wolfspeed faces. He discusses several financial and operational updates, the crucial difference between "design-ins" and "design-wins", and what investors should be watching most closely. 7investing issues Conviction Ratings for all of the stocks in our coverage universe.
