What Neutron does

Operates shared electric scooters and e-bikes for short urban trips, rented via a mobile app worldwide.

Charges riders an unlock fee plus a per-minute rate, and sells passes to frequent users, so revenue depends on rides per vehicle per day, weather and season. Costs are driven by collecting, charging, repairing and moving the vehicles, and by city permits that cap fleet sizes.

Products and services

  • E-scooter sharing
  • E-bike sharing
  • Fleet/data services for cities

Customers

  • Urban commuters/riders
  • City transit authorities/partners

Where it sits in the supply chain

  • Consumer discretionary
  • Shared mobility
  • Micromobility (scooter/bike-share)

What could go right

  • More cities permitting shared micromobility
  • Shift from cars for short urban trips

What could go wrong

  • City permit and regulatory risk
  • Vandalism, theft, vehicle damage costs

Moat: narrow (scale, installed base, network effects). Fleet density and city-permit relationships are hard to replicate quickly in a market.

Questions

The cockpit's measured peer set (sector in the same market, nearest in size) also includes Akso Health Group Sponsored ADR (AHG), Strategic Education (STRA), Target Hospitality (TH), MarineMax (HZO), Dream Finders Homes (DFH), Carter's (CRI).
Is Neutron expensive compared with its peers?
On forward p/e it trades at 20.3× against a peer median of 16.8×, 8th most expensive of 17 in its peer set. For today's price to make sense, revenue must grow about 12% a year for seven years (Req g). Recent delivered growth is +29%, so the hurdle is -17 pp: the price already allows for a slowdown.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
