Luckin Coffee Inc (PK) (LKNCY) ニュース

I'm still here with you and the crickets. It would be nice if we could get some interest.

Any shareholder still here?

Wish I had that many. I got in at $3 though for 500.

Same. Holding over 40,000 shares long.

My bad, thought you were a skeptical bear. I'm all in!

Which part?

I didn’t write what I wrote to be wrong.

You can't be serious right? 🤣

Pure OTC manipulation. CN geopolitical pull down.

Recent Earnings were spectacular. Growth accelerating. Global expansion sooner than expected. Margins down slightly given competitive market price adjustments. Profitable with cash coffers growing. Soon this will be an internationally recognized brand. They are collaborating in all the right ways.

Once they pr a relist, the train will leave the station. Once the ticker hits the big board, it will be IPO ish event as it relates to volume, volatility, and institutional large share block grabs. The price will surge 20-30% minimum. A 25B market cap is reasonable in 2024 given their recent earnings and continued growth. They are the fastest growing retail storefront in the world and have quite easily taken down the world’s number one retail coffee brand in their homeland. It’s only a matter of time until the SP catches up with the fundamentals. My take is $100 plus sometime in 2024.

What's going on with this stock? Why is it dropping? Will it stop soon?

Yo tambien!

Hello out there, anyone still here or has everyone moved on to other things?
It appears as if many of the posters are gone, and many of the old one's have vanished.
However, I'm still here and proud to be a Luckin holder since the delisting prices, must confess my pleasure with the company's developments and will continue to hold for at least 1 more year.

Happy to see that there are a few people still here, luckin is really proving itself as a major leader in the coffee industry.
Although it's only normal that the Up and Down in price will continue, I personally believe that holding on through next year should be quite profitable.

I'm in and still have 330 shares which own for pretty much nothing now. Hoping it goes to $50 once relisted on NASDQ.

Wow Luckin is hot but this board is dead

It appears as if LUCKIN has begun its climb to new highs as next earnings report gets closer, I can't find any good reason why it's growth and % advancement in brand demand will not result in a $40-$50 market price this year.
Next year should be huge!

Hello to anyone still here if there is, if so any thoughts on LUCKIN and its future till year's end?

I’m still here.. holding for $50

Just curious if there are anyother holders of LUCKIN like myself from the $3.00 Era, if so where do you believe the year end price will be??

I believe Chinese stocks will be just fine if you are in the right one's, I consider LUCKIN to be one of those stocks that will preform well above the average.
Sill looking for $50 by year's end

I'm out of all my China stocks. If China supplies weapons to Russia we may see more sanctions on China. Too many political ramifications to hold china's stocks at this time.

Luckin has been very good trade.

Looks as if there's either a Major Seller here, or a huge Buyer at $27.75-$27.85, hopefully someone knows something Good and is loading up, or Selling knowing something Bad.

Just found this video. A pretty good review for U.S investors.

Correct
Now the pullback is in play, I will be buying somewhere between $26-$27 shoulditgetthere.

Like I told ya , just shut the trap and let good companies make the money

And I mean it

Could not have asked for more, great day even with the turmoil this morning. I suppose a pullback is coming shortly and that is expected and opportunity to BUY more. I believe tomorrow it goes higher, and then sells off, nothing goes up forever.

For this stock I am using the Peter Lynch GARP methodology. Most of my other stocks are not like this.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=

Slow and easy. I don't like overpriced stocks....

Yes I read that earlier, we just need to get relisted and begin a following with analysts, hedge funds and brokerage company's.
I believe when and if that should ever occur, I can then see Luckin begin making a huge run up.

I like this statement...

Dr. Guo continued, “Under our long-term goal of supply chain integration, we were pleased to break ground on our second roastery in Kun Shan in December 2022, which will supply us with roasted coffee beans of consistent quality.

Yes let us hope so, one never knows what the future might bring, hopefully it will be Higher prices.

Onward and upward!

COMPANY STATEMENT

“We delivered another year of strong operational and financial performance despite being materially impacted by COVID-19 in the fourth quarter of 2022,” said Dr. Jinyi Guo, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Luckin Coffee. “We had more than 2,100 net new store openings in 2022, bringing our total stores in China to more than 8,200 and demonstrating our ability to effectively navigate a dynamic and evolving business landscape and maintaining our leading position in the Chinese coffee market. Our team has continued to deliver improvements across key operating and financial metrics, and we are pleased to have achieved substantial revenue growth in 2022 while further improving our profitability profile.”

Dr. Guo continued, “Under our long-term goal of supply chain integration, we were pleased to break ground on our second roastery in Kun Shan in December 2022, which will supply us with roasted coffee beans of consistent quality. We are also proud to have launched our ESG initiative in November 2022, with the publication of our 2020-2022 Corporate Governance Report. This report underscores ongoing commitment to pursuing sustainable development and growth.”

Dr. Guo concluded, “I am exceptionally proud of the dedication from everyone at Luckin Coffee and the continued effort and determination that delivered a strong performance in 2022. Heading into 2023, we are encouraged to see the recent lifting of substantially all COVID-19 restrictions in China and the return of high levels of consumer activity. With these recent developments and as we begin to operate at normalized levels, we are confident in our ability to continue driving sustainable growth and long-term value for our shareholders.”

IMPACT OF COVID-19

The Chinese markets and the Company’s business have been adversely affected by COVID-19. In particular, the Company was materially and adversely impacted by COVID-19 in the fourth quarter of 2022, with weak customer demand and high numbers of daily temporary store closures, reaching a peak of around 1,500 daily temporary store closures.

However, with the recent lifting of substantially all COVID-19 restrictions in China, the number of daily temporary store closures due to COVID-19 have dropped to single digits since January 2023 and the Company’s operations have mostly returned to normalized levels. While uncertainties remain around the COVID-19 situation in China, the Company is optimistic that the negative impacts on operations due to COVID-19 will continue to lessen for the foreseeable future.

Not a bad E/R, although I don't believe it will affect share price very much today, we need audited financials and relisting to really get Luckin rolling.

Going to be interesting to see what LUCKIN E/R will bring us on Thursday,
i just hope there aren't any surprises if you know what I mean.

LUCKIN is setting itself up for the March 2nd E/R, would not surprise me to see a price of $33.00-$35.00 prior to or on the day of release.
I suspect once LUCKIN reaches its high, it will consolidate before continuing to new highs.
How high is anyone's guess??

Must confess that LUCKIN is quite a volatile stock that can move up or down in a flash, won't be too long before we see it move in $$$$ at a time as its price continues higher and higher.
I wonder what 2023 year's high will be, all time high is $50.02 prior to delisting in March 2020.

Does anyone know the actual Short position in LUCKIN as of today, I can't seem to find it and would be interested to know

Does anyone care to speculate what realistic price is reasonable for LUCKIN by the end of March, personally I have absolutely no idea and hope it remains at $30.00.]

For all those who might be interested[ in knowing the most recent Short Position in LUCKIN, well it is only a mere 665,000 as of this week and appears as if most Shorts have already exited their positions. /b]

There was no doubt in my mind that LUCKIN had $30.00 written all over it, I am pretty much confident that the price will continue to rise until the $52.02 mark is reached this year.
Should there be no negative surprises along the way this year and next, I wonder where the price will eventually head to that is considered realistic.
Will check out Toast, looks like an interesting stock to watch.
Thank you

Good call. Long term hold for me (2026+). I noticed this U.S stock today and they were making a big deal out of it. I think Luckin was doing technology from the start. In fact, China is a cashless society (but don't tell Americans, lol)

Toast [NYSE: TOST] is a cloud-based, all-in-one digital technology platform purpose-built for the entire restaurant community.

So does anyone have anything they would like to say, personally I knew $30.00 was just a matter of time.
Where do we go from here??

I'm betting that either by the end of February or first week of March, LUCKIN will have hit $30.00 and begin its assent to the all time high of $50.02 sometime this year.

Meaning when it was delisted, most everyone believed LUCKIN was toast after that, fortunately for all those who bought, held and believed in it are reaping the benefits.

Once that occurs, it would not surprise me to see LUCKIN challenge its old high of $50.02 before its demise.

Demise?

Something is telling me that in March, LUCKIN will be making a huge announcement, and I believe it will be its relisting.
Once that occurs, it would not surprise me to see LUCKIN challenge its old high of $50.02 before its demise.

Unfortunately that's more like it lasted only 1 day, yesterday started off great but then went South and closed Lower, hopefully today we regain what we lost and and finally break the $30.00 mark.

That's more like it!

No trades today? Weird.

[b Well said and reasonable planning for future investments, LUCKIN has been a major winner for me up to now and hopefully will continue to be so in the future.
Somewhat concerned with market in these next few days, I'm sure you can understand why with the present situation upon us.[ b]
