Beth Kindig of I/O Fund joined Charles Payne of Fox Business News on April 22nd to discuss Tesla’s earnings and what it’ll take to get robotaxis on the road by 2024. She discusses a second company to keep an eye on that will likely safely facilitate more automation within vehicles.
Charles Payne also asked for Beth’s take on Musk’s takeover of Twitter, which Beth believes as a power user, Elon Musk is uniquely suited to clean up the bot issue and low-quality anonymous accounts that prevent advertisers from spending more on the platform. In fact, Twitter can see up to 66% of its traffic driven by bots.
The interview shifts to discuss what Beth Kindig is looking for from Snap, which she stated “all eyes are on DAUs” or daily active users. Later that afternoon, Snap missed on revenue and earnings, yet beat on DAUs and this helped prop the stock price up during a steep selloff across tech stocks. As Beth had stated, Snap’s stock price following earnings did, indeed, rely heavily on DAU growth and Kindig discusses why this was important to watch going into earnings. Notably, the I/O Fund bought Snap last quarter the day-of earnings for a 58% gain in one day.
Charles Payne also asks Beth what she thinks of Work from Home (WFH) stocks which Beth states given the cloud sector’s $100 billion pull forward, her analyst team is still tracking higher growth in 2022 than the pre-covid year of 2019. This means cloud should have a steady year and the firm is positioned in Asana and continues to watch Zoom Video, among others.
