In an article a few months ago, the RockFlow investment research team summarized the real moat of NVIDIA, a leading AI company, and why we believe that NVIDIA is not only A great company and an investment with a high potential rate of return.
But in fact, in addition to NVIDIA itself, the key tracks and companies it invests in and focuses on have also been repeatedly sought after by the US stock market. The market believes that Nvidia’s investment decisions are based on a deep understanding and forward-looking judgment of the development of AI technology, which often represents the development direction of the industry, and companies that receive its investment may enjoy multiple preferential treatment such as technical support, chip supply and ecological resources. Therefore, Nvidia concept stocks are expected to share the huge dividends of the AI revolution and are particularly worthy of attention.
In this article, the RockFlow investment research team will provide you with an in-depth analysis of Nvidia’s concept stocks and help you understand its long-term investment value and feasible investment strategies (note : This article does not include ARM as a research subject. It is also one of Nvidia's positions, but its market value has already exceeded 100 billion US dollars, which does not fall into the range of hundreds of millions to billions studied in this article).
1. Serve Robotics (SERV), focusing on the development of automatic delivery robots
AI leader NVIDIA What do you have in common with Uber, the world’s largest ride-hailing platform? The answer is that they are collectively optimistic about an automatic companyDelivery robot company.
Uber is working with 14 different companies to develop its self-driving platform as it looks to move the mobility industry away from human drivers. Technologies such as autonomous driving and robotics are driven by AI, and Nvidia has developed its own autonomous driving platform. Together, the two chose to invest in SERV, a $600 million company that develops autonomous delivery robots. Together, the two own more than 20% of SERV's outstanding shares, suggesting they are bullish on the company's prospects.
In most cities in North America, existing last-mile delivery solutions are quite inefficient. Uber Eats and DoorDash, among others, rely on delivery drivers who often use cars to deliver food and other products to customers. SERV asked a thoughtful question: Why transport a two-pound burrito in a two-ton car?
Robots and drones may be a better solution. SERV said the hardware and software costs associated with developing AI and automation are falling rapidly, so robots are increasingly becoming a more economical option. It predicts that once robot adoption increases and operations scale, their cost per delivery will eventually be as low as $1.
SERV's robots have Level 4 autonomous driving capabilities, which means they can drive on sidewalks within designated areas without human intervention. Since the beginning of 2022, the company’s robots have delivered more than 50,000 orders to more than 400 restaurants in Los Angeles, and those deliveries are 99.94% reliable. SERV says this makes the robot 10 times more reliable than a human driver.
The company's latest Gen3 robot is the smartest and fastest yet, with a top speed of 11 miles per hour. Thanks to NVIDIA’s Jetson Orin technology, which includes the hardware and software required for advanced robotics and computer vision, Gen3 is five times more powerful than SERV’s previous generation of robots. It has a faster top speed, greater range and longer operating times, which all combine to mean a 50% reduction in operating costs.
Under the contract with Uber, SERV is working to deploy 2,000 new robots by the end of 2025, which will allow it to expand to other areas of California, as well as Germany. Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas. this pairIt's also a win for Uber, which, if the plan succeeds, will save money by reducing its use of human delivery drivers.
SERV was previously spun off from Postmates, which was acquired by Uber, and became an independent entity in 2021. However, Uber remains SERV's largest investor, with a 12% stake. Nvidia has invested in SERV since 2022 and currently holds a 10% stake.
RockFlow's investment research team believes that its long-term investment value is mainly reflected in its leading technology, huge market potential, long-term cost advantages compared to manual delivery, and clear business model. Factors, as the demand for automation continues to grow in the future, SERV will have more application scenarios to expand.
