Before you start trading the Fisker stock or buy this security through your stock portfolio, we suggest you check out information and data that will help you understand and analyse its stock price. You'll find precise information on the activities and sources of income of the company as well as information on its main competitors, its advantages and disadvantages and its recent partnerships. We will also explain how to set up a quality fundamental analysis of this stock.
First of all, it's important to closely monitor the operations of the Fisker group which could allow it to position itself on the luxury PHEV market, particularly with partnerships, buyout operations and the creation of joint ventures.
You should also take into account the subsidies proposed by the various governments with regard to the purchases of ecological vehicles particularly for electric vehicles. These subsidies could help Fisker boost its sales and therefore its profitability in the more or less long term.
The commodity market can also help find trend indicators for this stock. The price of fuel particularly its rise, could push consumers towards the purchase of electric vehicles and therefore favour companies like Fisker.
It's also important to keep an eye on the diversification of the offer and the ranges of vehicles offered by Fisker as well as the release of new models given that its offer remains limited for the moment compared to the competition and that this lack of choice can cause them to lose customers.
Innovation should also be at the heart of your analyses so you'll need to keep an eye on investments in research and development and on innovations aimed at increasing the energy efficiency of internal combustion engines.
Finally, you'll need to take into account the competition of this sector of activity which has a few major players.

Now that you know more about the Fisker Company, take a closer look at its main competitors in its industry.
Of course, Tesla Motors is Fisker's main competitor and a manufacturer of 100% electric, sports and luxury cars. Tesla Motors is a recent brand founded in 2003 with an initial model in 2008 but quickly became the benchmark of the electric car worldwide. In barely ten years, the brand has already released several vehicle models which have been very successful and continue to launch new projects.
Another car manufacturer that competes with Fisker in the electric vehicle sector is BMW, which is a German manufacturer of high-end, sports and luxury cars as well as motorcycles. This group is known worldwide and its production increases every year. In 2013, the group launched BMW i for its electric vehicle models.
This other manufacturer is a Chinese manufacturer created in 1995 and formerly specialized in the manufacture of nickel-cadmium batteries and lithium-ion batteries. It was in 2003 that it diversified into the automotive sector and bought Qichuan Automobile Company. It then began manufacturing hybrid vehicles in 2008. Today, the group's range of vehicles is even more extensive with many vehicles on the market, including an electric bus named BYD ebus in 2010.
Finally, Fisker's latest competitor is undoubtedly the Toyota Motor Corporation group which is a Japanese car manufacturer and is one of the leaders in the automotive sector. The group has also developed several hybrid vehicles and is one of the pioneers in the construction of ecological vehicles. It currently offers 7 models of green vehicles.
Now that you have a better understanding of the main adversaries of the Fisker group, take a look at its main partners with two examples of recent strategic partnerships set up.
In 2020, the group signed a partnership with the Foxconn Company to create the car of the future. After several rumours regarding the possibility of developing an Apple car, it's Fisker who will try to develop the car of tomorrow by collaborating with Foxconn, which is one of the main suppliers of the Apple brand. Foxconn is an electronics giant which will allow Fisker to develop the PEAR or Personal Electroc Automotive Revolution project. While no other indication has yet been released about this project, Fisker has already announced that a new vehicle segment will soon appear on the automotive market.
Finally, the second strategic partnership is the one that the group set up in 2021 with the automotive supplier Magna. The objective of this new partnership is to jointly develop an advanced driver assistance system, ADAS. This will then be loaded into Fisker's electric SUV, namely the Ocean model. Through this partnership, the group intends to compete directly with the giant Tesla and also reduce the development cost of this model as well as the production time of this system.
