Dunno, but getting ahead of yourself might mean being wrong too often. People lose faith if you cry "gold!" too often.
I'd rather now he get it right.
Although, knowing what I do about blue chip stocks and their inability to shift quickly due to red tape, I have to believe HYLN should get there first. I'd be more concerned with other start ups.
FD, overall very positive call. The only reservation I have, is this gut feeling, that the company still sounds more like an R&D company vs. a commercial one. It seems to me that they are moving too slowly, perhaps too cautiously to commercializing the KARNO generator. If it's as good as they say it is, why aren't they commercializing it faster. The demand for the product I'm sure is high, considering the government subsidies, the environment benefits, the higher efficiencies and lower operational costs, the lower maintenance costs, the low noise, etc., etc. Why are they moving so slowly to commercialize it? Why did GE gave this technology away?
FD, agree. Thank you for the feedback, and technical insights into the share price and chart analysis. I think we can safely say goodbye to sub $1 share prices, and does worrying about non-compliance with NYSE, and threat of a Reverse Split. Should regain compliance by end of February, and receive a notice of compliance shortly thereafter, providing further support/boost to share price.
I've got to say. Rarely have I seen a CEO recognize their mistake and correct so quickly. Maybe I was right about Thomas afterall. It's pretty rare for my spidey senses to mislead me.
Executive Commentary
“I’m pleased to report that the company’s strategic shift to wind down powertrain operations and focus on our KARNO generator is on track, with significant achievements made in advancing our generator technology and engaging prospective customers during the quarter,” said Hyliion’s Founder and CEO, Thomas Healy. “We expect to deliver the initial KARNO generator deployment units with customers late in 2024 followed by a ramp-up in production and additional deliveries in 2025.”
Well, that was quick. Although so far, it has broken through, but then pulled back below $1.27.
A move above $1.50 would be a huge indicator that I would be shocked to see.
Would have been a great swing trade when it was .62

Hyliion plans for initial deployments to represent a broad range of applications, including vehicle charging, waste gas fuel sourcing, and prime power generation.
KARNO Generator Development
Hyliion is developing a revolutionary new electrical generator powered by a linear heat motor that is expected to deliver step-change improvements in performance characteristics compared to conventional generating systems, including efficiency, emissions, maintenance requirements, noise levels and fuel flexibility. The KARNO generator is enabled by the latest advances in additive manufacturing technology. Hyliion hosted a Technology Fireside Chat in December 2023 during which Thomas Healy and Josh Mook, Chief Technology Officer, explained the capabilities and advantages of the generator.
Recent technological advancements include beginning to print production-intent design parts of the BETA design of the KARNO generator. The BETA generator design will go through validation throughout 2024 and then is expected to be ready for customer deployments later this year.
The company also tested unprocessed flare gas that was collected from the Permian Basin and confirmed the ability for the KARNO reactor to operate on this fuel, showcasing the fuel agnostic characteristics of the generator. Recent test results on this fuel highlight that the KARNO’s flameless oxidation process is expected to surpass current EPA Tier 4 emissions standards by 98% for CO and 76% for NOx with no additional aftertreatment or catalyst needed.
Powertrain Wind-Down
In November 2023, Hyliion announced that it was winding down its powertrain business segment to maintain the company’s strong cash position as it furthers development of the KARNO generator technology. The company intends to retain the powertrain technology, enabling it to explore future use or sale of the technology and tangible assets. Most wind-down activities are expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2024 while efforts to monetize powertrain assets and technology continue.
Financial Highlights and Guidance
Fourth quarter operating expenses totaled $32.6 million, compared to $31.6 million in the prior-year quarter as the company initiated powertrain wind-down actions. Fourth quarter expenses include $11.5 million of charges directly related to the wind-down, including employee severance, contract cancellation costs, and accelerated depreciation of assets.
Full-year expenses totaled $136.3 million, compared to $152.4 million for the full year in 2022. Expenses in 2022 include $28.8 million of one-time charges associated with the purchase of KARNO generator technology from GE. Cash expenditures for 2023 were $131 million, including net losses and capital investments. The company ended the year with $291 million in unrestricted cash, and short-term and long-term investments.
For 2024, total cash consumed by the KARNO generator business is expected to be between $40 and $50 million, down compared to $131 million in capital consumed by the company in 2023. This estimate excludes cash payments associated with the stock repurchase program, payments associated with the ongoing wind-down of powertrain operations, and cash generated from the sale of powertrain assets and technology. Hyliion expects to achieve commercialization of the KARNO generator with the capital on hand.
Projections for 2025 include growth of KARNO generator deliveries with proceeds from sales in the low double-digit millions of dollars. The company also projects gross margins to be approximately break-even or slightly negative and cash spending to grow modestly compared to 2024.

Did you just switch aliases by accident?? There were zero spelling errors in my post.
What is the matter with you numbskulls?
$HYLN - Bro, you're making Clown posts.
And please use spell-check or something.
Come to think of it, keep going with the bad grammar and bad spelling it makes you look stupid....and I don't care because you're now on IGGY.
The tech is over my head. I'd just like to see them get focused on one product that is soon to be in demand.
Sorry, I'm more about the technical analysis and leave most of the fundamentals to someone in the field.
When Thomas explained it to me, it made some sense for the future.
That may possibly be the dumbest post I've ever read.
So, you're claiming, after making a totally idiotic post, that you were using reverse psychology to convince the 3 people who post here AND already own shares, to keep their shares? What exactly are you even claiming you got us to do?
Are you like a new millennial stock pumper? You said you were shorting, then when the stock goes up you claim you were long all along. Genius!
Here's to hoping your alias gets booted before reaching 10 posts.
You owe me for the 60 seconds of my life I spent giving you the attention you need.
Every time I think I've seen the absolute dumbest thing possible, someone comes along and tops it.
