MOBILEYE - A Merger & Acquisitions target! Downside limitedNASDAQ:MBLY - M&A Target 🎯🚘
Here's my thoughts of what I believe to be limited downside on Mobileye with my thesis that they could be a prime M&A target for a slew of Mega-Cap companies with the new administration pegged to be more lax in this area of business. More details in this post. 👇
I personally love Mobileye - NASDAQ:MBLY as a fundamentally undervalued company with great tech. I believe its a great investment with great technicals as well.
My thesis is that the downside is limited at this point due to this M&A realm we are about to step into here shortly.
Jensen just clarified what I had already perceived to be true which is the AV and Robotaxi market is a multi-trillion TAM over the next decade. These words alone increase any M&A price targets of any company in this space to include a robust Top 3 player such as $MBLY.
They currently sit at a 13.75B Mkt Cap after the massive 25% flush the last two days due to no new news. Not actually based off of fundamentals or the technology.
I would put a MINIMUM M&A target on this name of 15B and Maximum of 30B IMO.
A lot of big tech getting into this space and are way behind the Top 3 players in this realm of Mobileye/ NASDAQ:TSLA / NASDAQ:GOOGL (Waymo). It's obvious who would get gobbled up by a deal that is too good to resist which I believe personally is north of 20B as they are already on a solid path forward with headwinds turning into tailwinds (interest rates/ inflation/ china recovery/ auto-market recovery)
My personal theory of the companies most likely to take their shot are as follows in order:
NASDAQ:QCOM - Big chip player who is partnered with majority of legacy car brands. (Did a write-up in the past when they were thinking of acquiring/ merging with Intel in which own 80% share in Mobileye)
NASDAQ:NVDA - Announced there ambitions in this sector and have already been working within it. They've recently lost Hyundai though which tells me they aren't so close to having solid breakthroughs. But I believe they have the money and will to throw at M&A and take short-cut.
NASDAQ:GOOGL - Their robotaxis use very expensive lidars and I could see them make this purchase to get Mobileyes much cheaper technology that can be fitted to cars a lot simpler and with a cheaper price tag.
Others that I'm less confident on but have the money and could become a player: NASDAQ:META $APPL NASDAQ:AMZN
Great post Za! I hope I was able to add something for any Mobileye investors/ traders. Have a great market day off friend.

Robotaxis
Is Tesla's Robotaxi the Future of Urban Mobility?Tesla, the electric vehicle pioneer, is poised to disrupt the automotive industry once again with its highly anticipated Robotaxi. As the company prepares to unveil this groundbreaking innovation, the world is abuzz with excitement and anticipation. But can Tesla truly revolutionize urban mobility, or will the challenges of autonomous driving prove too insurmountable?
The Robotaxi industry is still in its infancy, with companies like Waymo and Baidu taking early strides. However, Tesla's entry into this space could have a profound impact, given its strong brand recognition and loyal customer base. The company's advanced Full Self-Driving technology, coupled with its expertise in electric vehicles, positions Tesla as a formidable competitor.
Yet, the road ahead is fraught with challenges. Regulatory hurdles, safety concerns, and intense competition will test Tesla's mettle. The company must navigate a complex regulatory landscape, ensure the safety of its passengers and pedestrians, and develop suitable infrastructure to support the widespread adoption of Robotaxis.
Perhaps Tesla's greatest advantage lies in its existing customer base. Tesla owners are known for their early adoption of new technologies, which could give the company a leg up in gaining acceptance for its Robotaxi service. However, public trust and acceptance will be essential for the success of this revolutionary concept.
As Tesla prepares to unveil its Robotaxi, the world watches with bated breath. The future of urban mobility hangs in the balance. Can Tesla overcome the challenges and usher in a new era of transportation? Only time will tell.
Tesla’s Post-Deliveries Surge Stretched from an EV StandpointTesla is having a rough year, being the underperformer of the Magnificent Seven group, as its peers surge. But the stock soared to new 2024 highs after the Q2 delivery report showed a substantial sequential increase, gaining more than 20% this week. Bulls are now back on the driver’s seat and have the opportunity to chase last year’s peak (299.29), although the record highs are distant.
However, this surge is hard to justify from a purely EV prospective. Tesla may have offloaded some of its inflated inventory in Q2, but deliveries were lower than a year ago, just as sales of Chinese rival BYD surged. Demand has weakened despite price cuts, the futuristic Cybertruck is not for mass production (and not for everyone) and we still have not gotten an update of the aging Model Y, which was the best-selling car of 2023. At the same time, there is some uncertainty around the crucial 25K affordable car that could accelerate sales and EV adoption, although it’s a price point where Tesla may have a hard time competing against Chinese firms.
Given these factors and the fact that the stock rally is stretched, a return below the EMA200 would not be surprising. This would create risk for new 2024 lows (138.80), but sustained weakness has a higher degree of difficulty.
Tesla at this point seems like a somewhat overvalued car maker, but an undervalued Artificial Intelligence company. At least part of the market optimism must be based on the AI promise. Elon Musk is preaching AI as the future of the firm, in a technology with the potential to unlock tremendous value as Tesla definitely has an edge, given the vast amounts pf proprietary data it collects from sources like the cameras and sensors in the hundreds of thousands of vehicles it has sold. The CEO pushes hard on full self-driving and robotaxis, with announcements expected in August, as well as humanoid robots and envisions more than a thousand of them working at Tesla factories next year.
