Serve Robotics spikes after announcing multiyear partnership with DoorDash for deliveries

Serve Robotics is spiking in early trading after the maker of sidewalk delivery robots and DoorDash announced a “multi-year strategic partnership to roll out autonomous robot vehicles across the US,” starting with Los Angeles.

Serve already does restaurant deliveries in Los Angeles (as well as Miami, Dallas, Chicago, and Atlanta) thanks to its partnership with Uber Eats.

DoorDash, for its part, already utilizes Coco Robotics to deliver food in Los Angeles and Chicago. Last week, it debuted its own delivery robot called “Dot,” which can operate on roads and sidewalks and is designed for suburban environments, per the company. Dot will initially be trialed in Tempe and Mesa, Arizona.

SpaceX gets a wave of bullish ratings from Wall Street analysts

SpaceX received more than a dozen positive analyst calls on Tuesday — including from major Wall Street banks — as they initiate coverage on Elon Musk’s space and AI company.

SpaceX went public on June 12 at a $2.2 trillion valuation, the largest debut in history. While the company hasn’t yet posted a profit, it seems to have convinced Wall Street that it will get there and grow its valuation on the way.

Of the at least 17 analysts that gave a rating on Tuesday, all but one gave it a “buy” or “outperform” rating. MoffettNathanson was "neutral."

The ratings come as SpaceX joined the Nasdaq 100 index, a benchmark tech-heavy basket of companies that underpins millions of portfolios. The inclusion adds built-in demand for the stock from index funds and ETFs.

Still, SpaceX fell more than 5% on Tuesday amid a broader sell-off, and is currently effectively flat from its opening price of $150 a share.
