Vuzix preliminary 4Q24, monthly charts and more -3


Vuzix has disclosed preliminary fourth quarter revenue of $2.1M along with cost cutting measures that should reduce expenses by 25% over the course of this year.  Analysts were expecting $3.4M in sales.  Management says it will focus more on OEM products and services while cutting R&D and marketing.  I wonder if the former will include Atomistic.  Official earnings are due at the end of February, and VUZI is only down a 5% so far to plumb new lows below $1.70.

market leverage through 2023Market leverage rebounded near prior unsustainable highs in December.  Although money keeps trickling into markets, the Santa Claus rally still looks overbought.  We've been seeing that throughout January as dumb money keeps flowing into megacap dominated funds, which is supporting the indexes even though most stock prices are eroding.  Although this is not enough to scare me out of favorites like NFE or my high yield names, it causes me to reiterate my warnings about a dangerously stretched market.

American gas vs electricity prices through 2023American electricity and natural gas pricing narrowed slightly, but not significantly for December, which was warm.  That doesn't trouble me as I expect seasonal trends to continue breaking down.  The only other energy note is bp removing the interim qualification for its CEO.  Maybe it can move forward more efficiently with Golar now?
