The real question that investors need to ask themselves is if it’s worth staying on board with SKLZ stock, or should they get out while it’s up? Let’s take a look at what InvestorPlace’s Matt McCall has to say on the matter.
“I’m not going to wade into the charged debate over the role of short sellers in the market. But what I would say is that SKLZ stock highlights the fact that they can be valuable to long-term investors. Either they make a compelling case that brings new information to the market — or, if they’re wrong, they create a more attractive entry point.
We’ve got that more attractive entry point. And while Skillz isn’t profitable, it shouldn’t be. The company is investing to acquire new users that will provide big profits (remember, 95% gross margins) over the long haul.”
SKLZ stock was up 28.2% as of Wednesday afternoon but is down 11.5% since the start of the year.
