Your Thursday Nasdaq Idea (VUZI) Update

Craig Hallum $8 Price Target Found On MarketBeat

December 17th

Good Morning,

VUZI did its thing again yesterday.

Opening at $5.65, it ran all the way to a new 52-week high of $6.55.

That intraday surge gave VUZI the crown once again as it moved approximately 15% intraday.

All this came on the heels of 3 major news releases this week:

"Vuzix Smart Glasses Provide Major Productivity Boost to Construction Sites Across Europe"

“Plug Power Develops Vuzix Smart Glasses-Based Remote Training and Onboarding Program to Support its Hydrogen Fuel Cells”

“Vuzix Completes the Development and Delivery of a Customized Waveguide Solution for a Major International Defense Contractor”

Read them all here.

Remember, Barchart is still reporting VUZI as a "100% BUY" based on overall technical indicators.

Check out your full report below and get VUZI back on radar before today's opening bell.

Augmented reality (AR) is the blending of interactive digital elements – like dazzling visual overlays, buzzy haptic feedback, or other sensory projections – into our real-world environments.

Google SkyMap is a well-known AR app. It overlays information about constellations, planets and more as you point the camera of your smartphone or tablet toward the heavens.

Wikitude is an app that looks up information about a landmark or object by your simply pointing at it using your smartphone's camera.

Need help visualizing new furniture in your living room? The IKEA Place app will provide an overlay of a new couch for that space before you buy it so that you can make sure it fits.

Augmented reality is a technology that is here to stay and the potential growth of this industry could soon shoot through the roof. Several researchers agree:

  • The AR market is set to exceed $50Bn by 2024 – CueReport, August 2020
  • The global AR and mixed reality market is estimated to reach $95Bn by 2025 – ResearchAndMarkets, August 2020
  • Augmented reality is set to be a $50Bn industry by 2024 – MarketWatch, June 2020

Previously, I've brought this profile to your attention only to watch it run from an approximately alerted $2.59 on May 8th to a $4.32 July 9th high of $4.32 for roughly 66%.

Then I reminded you of this profile again on July 17th at approximate $4.29 before it ran to a then 52-week high of $4.93 on July 20th for another 14% move.

After that I followed up by bringing VUZI to your attention on September 2nd. That day it opened at $3.89 and hit a high of $5.10 one day later for an approximate run of 31%.

Once again, I suggest getting this Nasdaq tech profile pulled up quickly:

> Vuzix Corporation (VUZI) <

Vuzix is a leading supplier of Smart-Glasses and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies and products for the consumer and enterprise markets. The Company's products include personal display and wearable computing devices that offer users a portable high-quality viewing experience, provide solutions for mobility, wearable displays and augmented reality.

Not only do you need to pay attention to the potential AR landscape, but the Smart-Glasses industry could also see significant growth in the years to come. See for yourself:

  • The global market for smart AR glasses will grow to 20Mn units annually by 2025 – Tractica, August 2020
  • The global market for AR smart glasses market is projected to reach 31Mn units by 2027 – Global Industry Analysts, July 2020
  • 52Mn smart glasses will be active by 2024 – ABI Research, July 2020

Those figures are nothing to shake a stick at. They are huge and could grow even bigger over time.

Factoring in the potential for the AR market with several potential catalysts, and VUZI becomes a Nasdaq profile you need on your radar now.

Here are the key factors that could lead to a major VUZI breakout:

#1 Potential VUZI Driver Indicator - Tuesday's Big News

Plug Power Develops Vuzix Smart Glasses-Based Remote Training and Onboarding Program to Support its Hydrogen Fuel Cells

ROCHESTER, N.Y., Dec. 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Vuzix® Corporation (NASDAQ: VUZI), ("Vuzix" or, the "Company"), a leading supplier of Smart Glasses and Augmented Reality (AR) technology and products, today announced that Plug Power (NASDAQ: PLUG), a leading provider of hydrogen engines and fueling solutions for enabling e-mobility, has developed and successfully deployed an AR smart glasses-based remote training and onboarding program utilizing Vuzix M400 Smart Glasses powered by Ubimax Frontline, a fully integrated productivity solution platform.

The arrival of CV-19 presented new challenges for Plug Power operations to train and support their field technicians and their growing customer footprint. In a matter of weeks, Plug Power was able to adapt their in-person training and onboarding programs into AR virtual smart glasses-based training programs. The AR support program provides Plug Power technicians with a kit consisting of Vuzix Smart Glasses preloaded with Ubimax Frontline software, which not only enabled technicians to capture and review on-the-job processes hands-free with a trainer remotely, but also replaced the need for more expensive in-person training events and gatherings.

"We turned to Vuzix and Ubimax soon after the CV-19 pandemic arrived to help solve operational challenges related to onboarding and training our technicians," commented Chris Suriano, Plug Power Vice President of Service. "We look forward to expanding the use of AR smart glasses for the long-term to support more extensive use cases."

"Plug Power is another great example of how companies are turning to Vuzix Smart Glasses to deliver cost- effective solutions and alternatives to in-person gatherings to deliver ongoing training and remote support for field technicians," said Paul Travers, President and Chief Executive Officer at Vuzix.

#2 Potential VUZI Driver Indicator - Technicals + Chart

Right now, VUZI's chart looks like a 6-month behemoth ready to cut loose. Take a look for yourself:

This killer has seen its valuation more than double since the end of June and this vertical growth may not be slowing down anytime soon. Here's why...

According to Barchart, VUZI is displaying several technical indicators that are triggered as bullish. This is a quick list:

Short Term Indicators

  • 20 Day Moving Average
  • 20 - 50 Day MACD Oscillator
  • 20 - 100 Day MACD Oscillator
  • 20 - 200 Day MACD Oscillator

Medium Term Indicators

  • 50 Day Moving Average
  • 50 - 100 Day MACD Oscillator
  • 50 - 150 Day MACD Oscillator
  • 50 - 200 Day MACD Oscillator

Long Term Indicators

  • 100 Day Moving Average
  • 150 Day Moving Average
  • 200 Day Moving Average
  • 100 - 200 Day MACD Oscillator

Based on indicator averages, Barchart reports VUZI to be a "100% BUY" overall and it also has a triggered composite "TrendSpotter" indicator.

With the consistent vertical growth we've seen out of VUZI in recent weeks plus its bullish triggered technicals, another potential surge could be in the cards moving forward.

#3 Potential VUZI Driver Indicator - Big Price Target

According to MarketBeat's website, there is currently a $8.00 target coming from Craig Hallum.

Take into account where VUZI was trading at approximate 10:00AM EST Tuesday ($5.74).

You'll see from that valuation, this profile has approximately 39% in upside potential.

Now, I'm not saying that VUZI is going to make a big double-digit move today, but if Tuesday's major news brings buzz to this company's stock, you'll want to know its potential upside.
