Serve Robotics: Immaterial Progress

By -

Update - May 7, 2026

Still blown away that the 2026 revenue target isn't even 50% of the revenue potential of the 2,000 delivery robots placed in service at the end of 2025, much less the opportunity to expand and the addition of hospital robots.

-Q1 Non-GAAP EPS of -$0.50 beats by $0.01.
-Revenue of $3M (+581.8% Y/Y) misses by $0.03M.

-The Company is reaffirming its 2026 financial guidance of approximately $26 million in full year revenue (consensus at $25.99M); and 2026 Non-GAAP operating expense of $160 to $170 million.

Serve Robotics only reported Q1 daily active robots at just 812. The company was only running at 40% capacity.

  • Serve Robotics Inc. remains in early-stage scaling, with 2,000 robots deployed but Q4 revenue at only $0.88 million.
  • SERV's current per-robot revenue is $1,185 per quarter, far below the $7,500 needed to meet its $60–80 million annual revenue goal.
  • Management guided to only $26 million in 2026 revenue, significantly below the previously promoted $60–80 million target for its current robot fleet.
  • Competitive threats are rising, and SERV stock appears priced for aggressive expansion not yet achieved; a Neutral stance is maintained.

While Serve Robotics Inc. (SERV) continues to make substantial progress in launching a global autonomous delivery company, the business hasn't really scaled to a material level. The Physical AI company has launched 2,000 delivery robots, yet the financials remain minute. My investment thesis is still Neutral on the stock, especially after the over 10% rally following mixed Q4 '25 results.

Stat of the Day: VXO hits 45 again

By -
Not hardly a week removed from hitting 45 on 9/18/08 and the market is back to this extreme level. Usually hitting the 40 level has historically been a huge buy signal for at least the next 4-6 months. Below are the times that 40 has been hit and only 2 times did it exceed 45 in the prior 20+ years until this month. Guess time will tell if this one leads to a huge rally. Date High 10/19/1987 152.48 8/24/1990 40.01 10/27/1997 40.04 8/27/1998 41.46 4/14/2000 41.53 3/22/2001 41.99 9/17/2001 47.7 7/11/2002 41.64 9/18/2008 45.81

Update - Feb. 28, 2025 Nextdoor reported another strong quarter.  Q4 Revenue of $65.23M (+17.4% Y/Y)  beats by $2.11M . Adjusted EBITDA was $3.0 million, compared to a $14.0 million loss in the year-ago period, reflecting 30 percentage points of year-over-year margin improvement. The social media company guided to weak Q1 results due to going full speed ahead with the NEXT UI updates. This is great news for  investors, but the stock is down some 30% due to the markets short-term focus.  The stock trades at near cash value of $427 million.  Originally posted on Nov. 8 Looking for a portfolio of ideas like this one?

Snap: Exclusive Engagement Isn't Enough

By -
New report shows Snap has an exclusive user base. Snap must prove the business model though plenty of revenue upside exists with monetizing existing user base. Valuation is extremely stretched despite the opportunity to grow revenues due to unconstrained operating expenses. A new report backs the thesis that  Snap  ( SNAP ) has compelling user engagement that remains sticky. Unfortunately, user engagement is only one part of an investable business model that  my research  has questioned since the IPO. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha.  Disclosure: Long TWTR.
