FULL VIDEO TRANSCRIPT BELOW:
Katherine Ross: When I looked at the Action Alerts PLUS portfolio this morning, one thing I noticed was that ChargePoint is up over 4%. It’s 10:04 AM. The stock is up about 30% in the past month. What’s fundamentally driving this name, Chris?
Chris Versace: There’s been several things, Katherine. When we take a look at all the positive announcements that they had over the last couple of weeks with new partnerships, including Toyota, but also too today in particular, we’re getting a lot of March auto sales data from a variety of companies, whether it’s the EV companies, or Ford, or Volvo. And pretty much across the board, what we’re seeing is EV growth year over year is robust.
I think that’s getting people to realize if we’re selling more EVs, we need more charging stations. Pretty simple, I think, concept there. But also too, Katherine, we’re continuing to look for forward progress on the infrastructure bill. That’s the real, again, I have to say it, Katherine, the real turbo charge for what we’re looking for when it comes to shares of ChargePoint.
