- Strategic transaction remains in limbo as Foxconn has not agreed to the proposed terms of a joint product development and associated funding agreement.
- There's no apparent incentive for Foxconn to provide additional funding to the ailing company as its primary target appears to be the Lordstown facility.
- Given Lordstown Motors' stated inability to repay the down payments already received under the asset purchase agreement, Foxconn could simply walk away from the negotiations and foreclose on the plant.
- At least, in my opinion, bankruptcy appears to be the most likely outcome at this point. Even with the stock trading at all-time lows, a short sale could still yield decent results.
- Only the most speculative investors should consider shorting the stock at this point, as a successful close of the transaction is likely to result in a violent rally.
