Cyngn: A Speculative But Potentially Lucrative Play On Industrial Software

Cyngn has experienced a lot of volatility late, with some of that built into the company because of its absence of revenue. Despite having no revenue, the firm has a solid balance sheet and it has a unique and potentially valuable vision. Though speculative, the company has gained further legitimacy and is worth looking into because of some recent developments.

Cyngn Looks Overvalued Based On Fundamentals

Cyngn is an autonomous vehicle technology company which listed on NASDAQ in October 2021 through a $26.3 million IPO. The company is spending only around $5 million on R&D per year, and I doubt it will be able to achieve its ambitious growth plans. Cyngn’s market valuation has more than tripled over the past week and I think the reason behind this is high retail investor interest. In my view, the share price is likely to fall back to below $1.50 in the near future as retail investor interest gradually fades off.
