Why Should Investors Exit?

• Lackluster Financials: HYLN's core business operations have yet to generate revenue. The company's loss from operations grew to USD 26.81 million in Q3FY21 from USD 5.05 million in Q3FY20 due to increased research and development (R&D) and selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses. It reported an increase in net losses to USD 26.62 million during Q3FY21 vs. USD 9.10 million during Q3FY20.
• Supplier Concentration Risk: HYLN's electric powertrain solutions are based on complex and sophisticated software and hardware either developed in-house or maintained by third parties. These software and hardware could include defects, problems, or vulnerabilities that, if not addressed immediately, could harm the company's reputation, result in loss of customers, and have a negative influence on its profitability.
• Technical Weakness: HYLN shares are hovering in a long-term bearish zone. At the last closing its shares traded below its crucial long-term as well as short-term support level of 200-day and 50-day SMAs, implies a long-term bearish trend in the stock. Further the leading momentum indicator 14-day RSI hovering in a neutral with bearish bias at ~42.

HYLN's share price has decreased 57.69% in the past nine months and is currently leaning towards the lower band of the 52-week range of USD 3.67 to USD 20.04.
