Bullish Statements during Earnings call

Statement
So we are convinced that the sales and profit will continue to increase significantly in the next two to three years
Looking back on the challenges of 2023, I am very proud of the success we achieved through our strategic pivot into off-road or electric vehicles and associated parts
We expect that the sales will be -- and the volume will continue to improve this year
These achievements laid a solid foundation for our future growth, strengthening our belief in the potential of the electric off-road vehicle market
This strategy shows our confidence in the company's future growth and is a pledge to boost shareholder value by addressing the growing demand for electrified off-road vehicles, we are confident we can achieve significant growth in 2024, which can translate into greater value for our customers and shareholders
That's a very good opinion
But anyway, look, I think you're doing a great, great job with Lowe's at all
Gross profit increased by 112% to $40.4 million, and we achieved a net profit of $1.7 million, a huge swing from the $12.9 million net loss in 2022
In 2023, we returned to profitability with revenue hitting its highest level of the past three years
But anyway, with all this cash we have, now it's almost $3 a share and it's gone up every quarter, which is amazing this year
As we look to 2024, our enhanced focus on research and development will enable us to introduce more competitive or electric off-road vehicle products
This shows that our cooperation with Lowe's for more than in the past year has been pleasant
That's why we shift our focus to the electric off-road vehicle series for a better return in terms of the -- from the financial perspective
That's a great idea
The CFO's response was, "the purpose of purchasing the new warehouse in Garland, Texas is to increase our sales capacity." Our sales in the state will definitely increase in a more significant manner
Kandi was honored by the Expo as an innovator with its patented expandable mini cart by the NBC Golf Channel
Xiaoming Hu During the fiscal year 2023, we achieved a turnaround from net loss to net profit
We will strengthen our effort in the PR and make more promotions of our products and development
Thank you a lot for the answers, and yes, have a nice day
Where this lack of knowledge becomes a problem is when looking at Kandi's 47 million in inventory at the end of Q3, this much inventory might be a red flag if there were only reported 1,000 locations, but a very well timed smart position with 8,000 plus locations
Good morning and good afternoon and hello
Thank you for your opinion
Thank you for your support
We believe that our cooperation with Lowe's will continue to expand and deepen
2023 was a landmark year for us as we developed and launched new products such as electric UTVs and electric mini golf karts
As our performance continues to grow and become more steady, we will definitely increase our PR effort
In the PR, they announced that, the -- one of your people say, Kandi American tends to drive growth through geographic penetration across the U.S
He also said, "it is estimated that the gross profit margins for the whole year 2023 would be above 30%
Hello, everyone
Arthur Porcari That is pretty impressive when you consider the average daily volume has shrink down to about 60,000 to 70,000 shares a day, and you can only buy 25% at any given day of the average daily volume
       

Bearish Statements during earnings call

Statement
Obviously, with the stock down 40% since the last conference call and 85% below its all-time high, not only is the market not believing management, it's betting on a negative growth over the next few years
Xiaoming Hu I think there was a confusion
Shareholders are very frustrated
You're doing a terrible job in getting the stock information out
Arthur Porcari That's quite obvious with the stock being down that you're not doing any effort to get public relations out, I think that's very bad
Do you have any plans to reintroduce the electric cars, perhaps with quick battery exchange in the future? Xiaoming Hu Currently, because of the market in China being too competitive, is unhealthy for the EV industry
In the past two years, we have been through the strategic shift with cost uncertainties
But then many of those stores maybe they declined
Unidentified Analyst Okay, do you want to explain that any bit more so that we can understand that? Xiaoming Hu What exactly do you not understand that you like Chairman to explain? Unidentified Analyst Well, the number of golf cart containers during this first quarter appears to have basically been slushed in half
Arthur Porcari That might be a surprise
And from anyone's third-party view, it doesn't appear that, first, you're very concerned about it, and second, that you're doing anything about it
As such, the company's actual results may be materially different from the expectations expressed today
that might significantly increase tariffs on manufactured goods from China
So we have to get the concern before we can give our information even though we want to
I just don't -- most of us are just puzzled why you don't seem to be more concerned about it and using amorphous, ambiguous, and arbitrary language, saying that you're working on it and you know you're concerned
And there's a chance that that might have a result of increasing tariffs on manufactured goods received from China
