Massif Capital, an investment management company, released its Q4 2024 investor letter. Here is what the fund said:

“Our most volatile position remains Enovix Corporation (NASDAQ:ENVX), and we admit to being miffed by its continued volatility. At one point, it made sense as it was a story stock, but at this point, the stock has advanced well beyond being a story. Despite the progress the firm is making operationally, the stock has historically annualized volatility over rolling 100-day periods of nearly 100%. Last year, the stock moved more than 30% from local lows to local highs four times; it also had drawn downs from local highs to local lows of more than 35% three times. The short interest in the stock also remains incredibly high at more than 30% of the stock’s float.

The firm completed site acceptance testing for its high-volume production line at its Fab-2 site in December, positioning the company well for mass production of batteries starting in 2025/2026. The management team also continues to advance the sale pipeline, announcing, in December, a prepaid purchase order from a “Silicon Valley-based global technology leader” for a battery solution for the buying firm’s mixed reality wearables. The deliveries for this order will be small in 2025 and ramp in 2026, but it’s unclear, especially given the market for mixed reality wearables (total TAM assuming battery ASP of $5/unit is $175 million), that they will be all that significant. Nevertheless, this order is yet another indicator that this is no longer a company with a science experiment and a story but instead a battery manufacturer…” (Click here to read the full text)
