The E-Motion is the first fully electric, production-ready, high-performance 180 HP, which makes it the key market disruptor. With its proprietary technology, which includes the batteries, the engine and the software, Vision Marine’s E-Motion is now the only turn-key solution for boat manufacturers in its class. That’s a strong first-mover position to be in at the critical junction of a high-dollar energy transition.
That $5-billion+ boat rental market is ripe for flipping, and VMAR’s flagship Newport business managed to serve 300,000 clients in the first three years, annualizing $4 million in revenues with a 35% profit margin. By the end of 2024, Vision Marine expects to free-cash-flow positive, and by 2025, it expects to have two profitable and growing divisions, after which the scaling is expected to gain further momentum. Vision Marine not only has developed the most powerful electric motor solution on the recreational boating market, but it’s also a member of an elite club in this segment that has proprietary technology, zero debt and clear growth runways.
Alphabet's strong financials, including substantial free cash flow and a robust balance sheet, limit downside risks despite global economic uncertainty. With multiple growth drivers, such as digital advertising, cloud infrastructure, and streaming services, Alphabet's diversified revenue streams provide a solid foundation for future growth.
