Serve Robotics surges as NVIDIA discloses large stake By Investing.com
Description: This little delivery robot maker could still have plenty of room to grow.
Content:
Oops, something went wrong Nvidia's (NASDAQ: NVDA) stock soared 2,630% over the past five years, boosting its market cap to roughly $3.5 trillion and making it the most valuable company in the world. Most of that rally was driven by its brisk sales of AI-oriented GPUs for data centers. From fiscal 2019 to fiscal 2024 (which ended this January), Nvidia's revenue grew at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 39%. But from fiscal 2024 to fiscal 2027, analysts expect its revenue to rise at an even faster CAGR of 53% as the AI market continues to expand. Are You Missing The Morning Scoop? Breakfast News delivers it all in a quick, Foolish, and free daily newsletter. Sign Up For Free » That secular trend makes Nvidia a great long-term investment, but it could struggle to replicate its millionaire-making gains from the past several years. So if you're looking for the "next Nvidia," you might want to check out the smaller AI companies the chipmaker is investing in. One of those companies that stands out is Serve Robotics (NASDAQ: SERV), a producer of AI-powered sidewalk delivery robots. Let's see if this little $384 million company could eventually become a trillion-dollar tech giant like Nvidia. Serve Robotics was founded in 2017 within Postmates, the food delivery service acquired by Uber Technologies (NYSE: UBER) and integrated into Uber Eats in 2020. Uber subsequently spun off Serve Robotics as an independent company in 2021, but it continued using its delivery robots to fulfill orders in select areas across Los Angeles. Its newest Gen 3 robots can travel 48 miles on a single charge, carry up to 15 gallons of cargo, and have a max speed of 11 mph. They're also resistant to extreme temperatures and heavy rain. Serve Robotics executed a reverse merger with the blank-check company Patricia Acquisition in 2023, which paved the way to its Nasdaq listing at $4 a share on April 18. But it ended the first day at just $3.11 and sank below $3 by the end of its first month. Today, Serve's stock trades at nearly $9. Most of that rally occurred this July after Nvidia revealed that it had taken a 10% stake in the company. That vote of confidence brought back a lot of bulls, even though the company still barely generates any revenue. Serve owns a fleet of 100 robots, but it only operated 59 active robots in the L.A. area for Uber Eats in the third quarter of 2024. It generated just $1.6 million in revenue in the first nine months of 2024 as it racked up a net loss of $26.1 million. For the full year, analysts expect it to generate $1.9 million in revenue with a net loss of $34.3 million. With an enterprise value of $384 million, it might seem ridiculously overvalued at more than 200 times this year's sales. But in 2025, Serve plans to deploy up to 2,000 robots for Uber Eats across the L.A. and Dallas-Fort Worth metro areas. Assuming it achieves that ambitious expansion, analysts expect its revenue to jump to $13.3 million in 2025 and $59.5 million in 2026. Therefore, we could argue that Serve isn't terribly expensive at about 6.5 times 2026 sales. If Serve successfully scales up its autonomous delivery robot fleet for Uber Eats, it could attract a lot more attention from other delivery-oriented companies. Those new customers would reduce its dependence on Uber and drive its long-term growth. According to Precedence Research, the global delivery robot market could expand at a CAGR of 32% from 2024 to 2034. That growth could be driven by labor shortages, rising e-commerce sales, and the development of more efficient autonomous robots. These little robots could also be considered a safer, cheaper, and more reliable alternative to human drivers for last-mile deliveries. So if the company can break out of its niche, it might deliver massive long-term gains. Serve might have a bright future, but it's too early to tell if it can ramp up its production, attract more customers, and diversify its business with other types of autonomous robots. So while we can't seriously call it the "next Nvidia" yet, it's easy to see why Nvidia bought a slice of this fledgling AI company. Investors who are looking for a high-risk, high-reward play in the booming AI market can consider following Nvidia's lead.

A seguito della firma dell’accordo, ABB adeguerà la propria struttura di reporting, passando a tre aree di business. A partire dal quarto trimestre 2025, la divisione Robotics sarà riportata come “Attività cessate” (Discontinued Operations). La divisione Machine Automation, che attualmente insieme a Robotics costituisce l’area di business Robotics & Discrete Automation, entrerà a far parte dell’area Process Automation. Al momento della chiusura, la cessione comporterà una plusvalenza contabile pre-tasse non operativa di circa 2,4 miliardi di dollari, con proventi in cassa attesi, al netto dei costi di transazione, pari a circa 5,3 miliardi di dollari. I costi di separazione stimati sono di circa 200 milioni di dollari, circa la metà dei quali già inclusi nelle previsioni per il 2025. La stima attuale di ABB per i flussi fiscali in uscita legati alla separazione locale dell’attività si colloca tra i 400 e i 500 milioni di dollari. ABB Robotics è un leader nel proprio settore, al centro delle tendenze secolari e future dell’automazione.

SoftBank Group announced on Monday that it has agreed to buy the robotics division of Swiss engineering firm ABB for $5.4 billion. The move is designed to strengthen the Japanese company’s position in artificial intelligence. The deal, which is subject to regulatory approval, means ABB will no longer pursue its previous plan to spin off the robotics business into a separately listed company. The acquisition is a key part of SoftBank founder Masayoshi Son’s vision for “Physical AI,” which aims to combine advanced artificial intelligence with robotics. Don't miss out on the latest insights, trends, and analysis in the world of data, technology, and startups. Subscribe to our newsletter and get exclusive content delivered straight to your inbox. “SoftBank’s next frontier is Physical AI. Together with ABB Robotics, we will unite world-class technology and talent under our shared vision to fuse Artificial Super Intelligence and robotics — driving a groundbreaking evolution that will propel humanity forward.” Son defines Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI) as AI that is 10,000 times smarter than humans. He has worked to position SoftBank at the center of the AI industry through investments and acquisitions. The company owns chip designer Arm, holds a major stake in OpenAI, and has previous robot-related investments in companies like AutoStore Holdings and Agile Robots. This is not the company’s first venture into robotics. In 2012, SoftBank acquired a majority stake in a French company called Aldebaran, which led to the launch of the humanoid robot Pepper. Although that project did not succeed commercially, robotics has re-emerged as a key focus for the company. For ABB, the sale is a strategic shift from its previous plan to spin off the robotics unit. The company stated that the deal “will create immediate value to ABB shareholders” and that it will use the proceeds from the transaction according to its established capital allocation principles. ABB expects to receive approximately $5.3 billion in cash proceeds from the sale. The expected separation cost is around $200 million. Featured image credit

ABB’s robotics business is a globally recognized brand with extensive sales channels and customer relationships, and SoftBank’s investment in cutting-edge technologies can “reignite the robotics business’s growth,” per the release. “SoftBank’s next frontier is physical AI,” SoftBank Group Chairman and CEO Masayoshi Son said in the release. “Together with ABB Robotics, we will unite world-class technology and talent under our shared vision to fuse artificial super intelligence and robotics—driving a groundbreaking evolution that will propel humanity forward.” Advertisement: Scroll to Continue In its own press release about the acquisition, ABB said it had planned to spin off its robotics business as a separately listed company because there are limited synergies between that business and ABB’s other businesses, which include electrification and automation. After evaluating SoftBank’s offer, ABB determined that the offer reflects the long-term strengths of the business and creates immediate value for ABB shareholders, according to the release. “SoftBank will be an excellent new home for the business and its employees,” ABB CEO Morten Wierod said in the release. “ABB and SoftBank share the same perspective that the world is entering a new era of AI-based robotics and believe that the division and SoftBank’s robotics offering can best shape this era together.” It was reported in May that ABB was exploring a spinoff or sale of its robotics business as the company shifts its focus to more profitable areas, such as the electrification business that has benefited from the rise of new data centers being built to meet AI demand. SoftBank announced in August that it is making a $2 billion investment into chipmaker Intel as part of a commitment to investing in advanced technology and semiconductor innovation in the United States. The company said at the time that its ongoing efforts in the AI sector include a $40 billion investment into OpenAI and a partnership with OpenAI and Oracle to invest an initial $100 billion and up to $500 billion to build AI infrastructure.

Der japanische Technologie-Investor Softbank Group beabsichtigt, die Robotiksparte des Schweizer Technikkonzerns ABB für 5,375 Milliarden US-Dollar zu übernehmen. Das geht aus einer Mitteilung von Softbank vom Mittwoch hervor. Eine entsprechende Vereinbarung sei bereits unterzeichnet worden. ABB Robotics stellt hauptsächlich Industrie-, Service- und Transportroboter teils mit Künstlicher Intelligenz (KI) her. Softbank will mit dem Kauf sein Portfolio um Roboter unter anderem mit verkörperter Intelligenz erweitern. Als Gründe für die Übernahme führt Softbank an, sich stärker im Bereich KI engagieren zu wollen. Dabei gehe es um KI-Chips, KI-Rechenzentren, Energie – und KI-Roboter. Die Übernahme von ABB Robotics soll das Robotikgeschäft der Softbank Group nachhaltig stärken. ABB Robotics sei eine weltweit starke, anerkannte Marke, die für Zuverlässigkeit und hohe Leistungsfähigkeit bekannt sei. Zudem verfüge das Unternehmen über eine gute Vertriebsinfrastruktur und gute Kundenbeziehungen, heißt es von Softbank. Softbank beabsichtigt nun, die Technik und das Know-how von ABB Robotics dazu zu nutzen, um zusammen mit anderen Robotikunternehmen von Softbank, wie etwa Softbank Robotics, Berkshire Grey, Autostore Holdings, Agile Robotics und Sklid AI, neue Innovationen zu fördern und das Robotikgeschäft anzukurbeln. Die Robotiksparte von ABB werde dazu in eine neue Holding ausgegliedert. Der Gesamtkaufpreis belaufe sich auf 5,375 Milliarden Dollar. Alle Details zu dem Deal seien aber noch nicht abschließend geklärt. Außerdem müssen auch noch die zuständigen Behörden der Übernahme zustimmen. Bis zum Abschluss der Transaktion dauere es also noch ein wenig: Er wird für den Beginn bis Ende des zweiten Halbjahrs 2026 erwartet. Videos by heise Ursprünglich hatte ABB im April 2025 angekündigt, sein Robotikunternehmen 2026 an die Börse bringen zu wollen. Warum dies gescheitert ist und jetzt ein Verkauf an Softbank erfolgt, ist unklar. ABB Robotics ist ein erfolgreicher Player im weltweiten Robotermarkt. 2024 erzielte das Unternehmen einen Umsatz von 2,4 Milliarden Dollar bei einem operativen EBITDA von 313 Millionen Dollar.
