Lyft shares hit the gas after Mobileye robotaxi rollout announcement

Lyft shares jumped as much as 4% after the ride-hailing company announced plans to roll out self-driving robotaxis in partnership with Mobileye.

The partnership, initially unveiled in November, will kick off the robotaxi service in Dallas starting next year. Riders will be able to book fully autonomous rides through the Lyft app.

The robotaxis will operate using Mobileye’s driver-assistance technology, while Japanese conglomerate Marubeni will supply the fleet. Lyft plans to scale the program to thousands of vehicles across multiple cities.

The announcement comes as Uber prepares to launch its own self-driving service. In September, the company said it would expand its partnership with Waymo to deploy robotaxis in Austin and Atlanta beginning early this year.

Lyft is set to report fourth-quarter earnings on Tuesday.

Hims to stop offering copy of Wegovy pill following FDA scrutiny

Hims & Hers said it has decided to stop offering its newly launched copycat version of Novo Nordisk’s Wegovy pill, after the telehealth company drew criticism from the Food and Drug Administration. 

“Since launching the compounded semaglutide pill on our platform, we’ve had constructive conversations with stakeholders across the industry. As a result, we have decided to stop offering access to this treatment,” Hims wrote on X.

Shares of Hims are down double digits in premarket trading on Monday, while Novo Nordisk ADRs are up more than 6% as of 5:20 a.m. ET.

On Friday afternoon, the FDA said it would take “decisive steps” to restrict GLP-1 compounding. Department of Health and Human Services General Counsel Mike Stuart said on social media Friday he had referred Hims to the Department of Justice “for investigation for potential violations by Hims of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and applicable Title 18 provisions.”

Hims launched the product last week, a seeming copy of a recently released and patented drug, which immediately drew fire from Novo Nordisk and regulators.

There’s still plenty of money to be made in brainrot. The top 1,000 Roblox creators earned an average of $1.3 million in 2025 — up 50% from the year prior — according to CEO Dave Baszucki on the company’s fourth-quarter earnings call.

Roblox paid out $1.5 billion to creators last year, meaning its top 1,000 creators took home about 87% of the total pool.

Like other creator economy giants, Roblox rewards its biggest creators for their contributions to user engagement. Creator-made titles like “Grow a Garden” and “Steal a Brainrot” substantially boosted playing time over the course of the year. In September, the company increased its developer exchange rate, or the ratio of in-game currency to cash payout, by 8.5%.
