Vicinity Motor (NASDAQ:VEV) stock is falling on Wednesday following the release of the transit bus manufacturing company’s Q4 2023 earnings report.
The bad news for VEV stockholders starts with the company’s earnings per share of -20 cents. This is worse than the -6 cents per share that Wall Street was expecting. It’s also worse than the -8 cents per share from the same period of the year prior.
Also not helping matters is the company’s revenue of $5.1 million. Yet again, this failed to reach analysts’ revenue estimate of $12.62 million. That’s despite revenue jumping from the $2 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2022.
Vicinity Motor founder and CEO William Trainer said the following in the earnings report.
“The increasing adoption of commercial EVs is being driven by government incentives, corporate sustainability goals and declining cost of ownership – with our EV lineup and growing dealer network capitalizing on this transition to be the commercial EV supplier of choice for many.”
