Facebook renamed as Meta last week in an effort to broaden the virtual realm and incorporate virtual and augmented reality more deeply into social media. Although the concept of the metaverse is not new, it is now gaining traction among a wider audience.
Todd Gordon, founder of Inside Edge Capital Management, mentioned Matterport, a $6 billion firm that specializes in 3D capture for industries like real estate.
“The profit margins will be favorable. It’s a model that works on a subscription basis. Subscriptions with the iOS and Galaxy apps account for half of the revenue this year. According to management, subscriptions would account for 80% of revenue by 2025”, Gordon stated on Tuesday.
According to FactSet, Matterport is to record $118.4 million in revenue this year. Furthermore, that figure should increase by about 56% in 2022.
“They have a significant first-mover advantage over the competition. They have approximately 6 million digitized images of buildings and infrastructure, which is 100 times more than the nearest competition, according to the company “Gordon continued.
In July, Matterport went public through a SPAC. In the last three months, the stock has grown by more than 50%.
Eva Ados, ERShares’ head of investment strategy, has chosen the chip industry as her option.
“Nvidia is one of our favorite companies for a variety of reasons. Aside from that, there’s the metaverse. In fact, following Tesla, we believe Nvidia will be the next trillion-dollar company”. In the same interview, Ados mentioned Tesla, which recently surpassed the $1 trillion market capitalization milestone. Nvidia has a market capitalization of $660 billion dollars.
Accordingly, Goldman Sachs recently selected a series of Asian equities related to the metaverse.
“These are the equities to own if the economy is hammered by inflation”.
Similarly, Barclays also feels that this is a good moment to invest in Chinese technology stocks, with Alibaba being a strong selection.
“The metaverse’s infrastructure is crucial. Many firms will develop it, but the ones that offer the infrastructure will generate the majority of the income, which is where Nvidia comes in because they are already a leader in artificial intelligence and chips. The metaverse relies on their electronics and computing power “she stated
This year, Nvidia has been the most successful chip company. Indeed, in 2021, the stock is up 102 percent, greatly surpassing the SMH semiconductor ETF’s gain of 28 percent.
Gaming, a promising industry.
In addition, she mentioned Roblox. “I like Roblox as well. Gaming will provide the majority of the innovation. Roblox already has a metaverse feature. It is the fastest-growing company in the gaming industry, with a growth rate of 117 percent, which is 10 times the industry average.”
Since early summer, the online gaming industry has been locked in a trading range. It is still trading significantly above its March benchmark price of $45 for direct quote. On Tuesday, it closed above $79 for the first time.
