 Wow. What's up, Money Geeks, Mr. V here. Welcome to another video, guys. So into this video, we are going to take a look at Ticket Symbol ACTC, which is a spark that is in the process of taking Proterra public. So Proterra is a privately-owned electric vehicle company. And this company is actually specialized in heavy-duty vehicles electrification. So we're talking about your city buses, your Greyhound, and to the point where they're looking at the future is to actually start doing semi-trucks to take them public. So that's what we're gonna cover into this video. But before we get started, guys, if you're new to the channel, we check out how to earn money, how to save money, how to invest and build wealth. So if that's something that interests you, go ahead and hit that subscribe button and your notification bell so you don't miss out on new content. So again, Proterra and ACTC are in the process or right now talking about taking Proterra public. And so the transaction is gonna value the company in about $1.6 billion. And so after this whole thing is done, the Ticket Symbol for ACTC is gonna change to P-T-R-A which is gonna be the new Ticket Symbol for Proterra. So again, this is news that came out, I think last week or so. And so I wanna make sure that you guys have this opportunity and they plan on using the proceeds from this merger to actually really improve and go to market and also put some of that money in their research and development. So again, I do like Proterra. After doing research on the company and looking at what they do, I love what they are doing. So let's jump back here. So again, Proterra, if you look at it, we've covered a lot of other companies here on the channel that are in this space, this EV space because again, that's the hottest thing right now. So we've covered companies like Arriver, we've covered companies like Halyan. Again, these companies have concepts that are not really in production yet. I mean, excellent concept. I love Arriver, I love what they're doing in terms of their development. But I want to see the product on the street. And this is where Proterra is really leaving the competition behind because these guys are not only talking about a concept, they are in production, not only in production, but their products are actually on the street and you can see clear evidence. So if we skip right here, you can take a look at their customer base, which to me, I think is telling because most people, again, with all these other companies that go out and being valued at like billions of dollars, we talk about companies like Quantoonscape. Value of the company doesn't really reflect the product that they have. I mean, as a matter of fact, Quantoonscape doesn't have any product just yet. So when I see a company like Proterra, that is not only talking it, but they are already doing it. So I think it shows me that they are way ahead of the competition and it's not even close. So again, if you see here, they have a list of customers here that are currently using their technology and their electrification. And so I think it's good. Look at that list. It's a massive list all across the country. As you can see, the list just keeps going on and on and on. If we go back again on the map, you can see that across the board, they are everywhere. I mean, with high concentration on the West Coast and on the East Coast, somewhere in the Midwest as well, as you can see that. So they are pretty much really in business. And that's just one of the things that when I was doing research on them, like this is interesting. So again, Proterra has three key areas that really drive their business. The first one that you can see here is Proterra powered. Again, this is just electrifying the heavy duty vehicles. Again, those heavy duty vehicles would include stuff like your city buses, your Greyhounds, your school buses, and also they're looking at on the commercial side, even looking at semi trucks in the future. So that is one, if you can see here, they have their best in class electric power train components, which I mean, they actually build this in-house, which I think to me, that tells me it's a company that is going places. To this point, they have been operating as a private company and they've gone this far. So I'm pretty sure that when they get the proceeds from this merger, they are really gonna explode. They are gonna try to put some money into research and development as well as just putting some money into trying to acquire new customers, which I think would be a good idea for them. So, and then the second part of their business is the public transit part, which is the Proterra Transit. Again, they are focusing on transitioning all fleet of public transit to electric. So you can see here, they have a really long list of customers that they currently work with, which I think is great. Again, this is not just saying, hey, we have a backlog of orders, which they do, they are saying, we already have shorter buses on the streets that you can see and that has our name on it. Third part of their business model is Proterra energy fleet solution. They have their energy source, so then that energy source goes to utility just to get the energy ready. They can store it so they have a storage facility and everything that they can use for that. And then they have the charging infrastructure for your fleet and then they have the energy management so they have the software and everything to help you manage everything. And then the battery solution, which they have in the builder in-house and then goes back through the life cycle. So they come in ready to give you like a full blown suite to be able to manage your fleet. And I think this is brilliant. So you don't have to, you're not outsourcing anything. So they have everything in-house from the technology to the products to the, you know, the software is to help you manage and just give you that full suite. So it's like a one-stop shop for everything. Again, let's look at some of the stuff that they are talking about. If you see here, they talk about their track of enabling commercial vehicle electrification. Again, they have the integrated technology ecosystem proven real world validation. That's one of the things I was really talking about and really emphasizing to you guys that when you prove that you've done it, it's not just a concept at this point it's actually working. So the only thing you can do from here now is scaling which other companies don't have yet. Other companies still have prototypes that they're working with. So again, look at the numbers here. I think this is a really good company in my opinion. I like to see progress. I mean, I'm sick of this concept. I want to see something tangible. So this is great. If the government were to invest in companies, these are companies that are already doing stuff. So if they're getting incentives, this guy's gonna step up and say, hey, look at the work we've done already. If you give us those incentives, now we are just gonna scale and hire more people. The Protera has overcome key obstacles to electrification. So obstacles were cost, performance, safety, quality, charging and scalability. They are saying they've already overcome a lot of these. So high competitive total cost of ownership, which is awesome. So best in class battery system enable greater range and weight loss, which is awesome. So over the years, they've been really doing work at improving their technology and making sure that it works for their customers. Here's what I want to show you guys real quick. So this is Protera compared to other companies that we've talked about. Again, they look at Arriva here, Hylian, Nicola and Romeo. So if you see here, they are leading in everything. So multi-million real world miles. These other companies zero because all they have is just concept. They're not in production yet. So they have 16 million, which is crazy. Just to think about it. Revenue, they think about 193 million. Again, Arriva is zero because they're still out there studying out Hylian minimal, Nicola is zero. We know that Romeo 11 million. Again, the second closest Romeo is not even close to 193 million that they have. So again, highly valuable learning curve advantage. They've been there, done that. So, hey, all that you can do from here is scale. Production track record. And this is the part that interests me, 10 years. All these guys, I think Romeo is the only one that can match with them there because they have that ticket symbol there, but they didn't put the number of years for Romeo. I'm gonna have to double check that. And then a manufacturing capacity, they are ready to go. And then full charging solution, they do have that. Like we've seen in some of the other presentations. Again, here is just that market opportunity that they're talking about. Right now, this is what they are servicing all the way to here. The objective is to move from here all the way up to here to the top right here, which is electrifying semi trucks. And that is their plan. So they're looking at that. And somewhere down the road, they're gonna hear, this is about $37 billion. So guys, I'm not saying they're gonna have or get all of this, but the fact that the company is positioning itself to be in the running for this. So this is Proterra Energy Integratively Charging Solution. Again, it's just looking at the overall flow from start to finish. So engineer planning, energy sourcing, storage, charging, energy management, and recycling. So again, this is the full life cycle one stop shop. They're doing a ton of research. I'm mad at myself that I didn't really research this company a long time ago because they have just been floating under the radar and nobody really talked about them. But now that I'm looking at the company, I think the company has a great opportunity to really, really do some good things. So again, guys, let me know what you guys think in the comment section. Like I said, this company is currently in the process of merging with Act Lite. So when I was doing this video, this stock is sitting somewhere at about $24 and some change. So you can see here when they did make the announcement, the price of the stock went from $12 and spiked to as high as $29 and then pulled back down to this $24. So I think personally, this is on sale. Because if you see here, it looks like this range right here is the support. So that $23 price point, and it's seem to be like the support. So if this thing keeps pulling back, then that would be a good entry point. Otherwise, you can start with a small position up here. And so that when they pull back, you can average your weight down and just make sure that you are in the stock. So that would be the game plan for this. Again, guys, this is one that I think is an excellent one. Definitely give them a shot because if we look at all the other companies, again, I've talked about here on the channel, most of them are still operating, which is the fact that they have a concept. But these guys are in business showing some revenue with just opportunity now to raise capital and expand and just continue to grow. So that's why I really like this one. Let me know in the comment section what you think again, guys. If you're new to the channel, we talk about how to earn money, how to save money, how to invest and build wealth.
