Nvidia, Microstrategy, Apollo Global Management, Joby Aviation, And Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

Gene Munster, Managing Partner at Deepwater Asset Management, projects that Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) will spin out its autonomous driving unit Waymo within the next 2-4 years, potentially reaching a valuation between $350 billion and $850 billion by 2030.
What Happened: In a detailed research note, Munster and analyst Brian Baker suggest the spinoff could add 12-28% to Alphabet&#8217;s current market capitalization, depending on the parent company&#8217;s ownership stake, which they estimate is currently around 70%.
&#8220;Today, Waymo alone is too small for Alphabet investors to care about,&#8221; Munster wrote. &#8220;However, the management team is sharing more about their rapid progress, plans to expand operations, and has raised additional outside capital.&#8221;
The analysis comes as Waymo continues to expand its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41541316/waymo-fleet-hits-25m-driverless-miles-autonomous-driving-company-says-its-fleet-is-safer-than-human">autonomous ride-hailing service</a>, now operating in Phoenix, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, with Austin launching later this year. The company currently provides over 150,000 rides weekly across its 700-vehicle fleet.
Munster&#8217;s valuation model hinges on Waymo&#8217;s potential market share in the U.S. ride-sharing industry by 2030. In the most optimistic scenario, capturing 70% market share could generate $28 billion in earnings and an $850 billion valuation. A more conservative 30% market share scenario suggests an $11 billion earnings potential and $337 billion valuation.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">I believe Alphabet will spin out Waymo in the next 2-4 years, with a potential valuation of $350B to $850B by 2030, which could add between 12-28% to <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%24GOOG&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">$GOOG</a>&#39;s current market cap, depending on Alphabet&#39;s ownership percentage.<a href="https://t.co/O57fuOg9OR">https://t.co/O57fuOg9OR</a>

Why It Matters: The report highlights that despite high upfront vehicle costs of approximately $200,000 per unit, removing human drivers could save about $82,000 annually per vehicle. Munster expects vehicle costs to decrease to around $100,000 to make the long-term economics viable.
Waymo recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41567166/waymo-closes-5-6b-investment-round-to-expand-robotaxi-operations">raised $5.6 billion</a> in a Series D funding round led by Alphabet, with participation from major investors including Andreessen Horowitz and Fidelity, valuing the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41665245/alphabets-self-driving-subsidiary-waymo-hits-45-billion-valuation-surpassing-ford-other-major-brands">company at approximately $45 billion</a>. The funding suggests growing institutional confidence in Waymo&#8217;s autonomous driving technology and business model.
Munster predicts the autonomous ride-sharing market will primarily be contested between Waymo and Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), with the first company to achieve widespread autonomy likely to capture the majority share.

Waymo Maybe Too Small For Alphabet Investors To Care About Today, But The Self-Driving Spinoff's Could Be Valued At $850B By 20230, Says Gene Munster

In a big development, MicroStrategy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) Chairman Michael Saylor will present a case for Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) investment to the board of directors at Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>).
What Happened: During an X space hosted by asset manager VanEck, Saylor said he was contacted by the activist who put up the shareholder proposal to present to the board. 
&#8220;I agreed to provide a three-minute presentation. That's all you're allowed. I'm going to actually post that online and I'm going to present it to the board.&#8221;
Saylor said he even proposed meeting with CEO Satya Nadella to discuss the strategy, but the offer was not accepted.

&#8220;I think it&#8217;s not a bad idea to put it on the agenda of every company. It ought to be put on the agenda of Berkshire Hathaway, Apple, and Google because they all have huge hordes of cash and they&#8217;re all burning shareholder value,&#8221; Saylor argued. 
The MicroStrategy chief said that Microsoft stock would be &#8220;much less risky&#8221; if half of its enterprise value—which was currently just around 1.5%— is based on tangible assets like Bitcoin.
Meanwhile, Saylor also offered to discuss the implications of adding Bitcoin to the Treasury with Rumble Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RUM#NASDAQ">RUM</a>) CEO Chris Pavloski.

Why It Matters: Microsoft was set to vote on an assessment of investing in Bitcoin during next month&#8217;s shareholders meeting. The shareholders&nbsp;requested&nbsp;the board conduct the assessment, citing Bitcoin&#8217;s healthy gains over the last five years.
The proposal explicitly mentioned MicroStrategy, a pioneer in corporate Bitcoin adoption whose shares have outperformed Microsoft in 2024.

Microstrategy's Michael Saylor To Advocate For Bitcoin At Microsoft Board Meeting, Offers To Educate Rumble CEO As Well

Cannabis wholesale platform Nabis has launched in the New York cannabis market. The move officially marked its status as a bicoastal operator.
"Expanding to New York is about more than moving into a new market — by planting our roots on the East Coast, we're laying the groundwork for our next chapter of building the national wholesaling infrastructure for brands and retailers across America," Vince C. Ning, CEO and co-founder of Nabis, said.
Going forward, Nabis' wholesaling technology will provide rapid order fulfillment, payment processing, customer service and compliance to New York's burgeoning market. Nabis said it will serve nearly 10% of the state market by the end of the year.
How?
The two storage facilities are strategically located in the Bronx and Rochester allowing Nabis to undertake two-day shipping turnaround times in nearly all regions in the state, the company said in a Tuesday press release.

</ul>
The structure in Rochester, which is a repurposed Kodak manufacturing facility, features 30,000 square feet of storage space, while the Bronx warehouse is a 10,000 square feet facility.
The opening of these warehouses allowed Nabis to create 100 new job opportunities in the state's cannabis industry.
In addition, Nabis has teamed up with a group of New York brands in its marketplace, including Ayrloom, Etain, Flwr City, Eaton Botanicals, Acreage, Flamer, LIVE, Tarot Tokes, Bristol Extracts, PLUGPLAY, Turn, Bloom and Dime, to name a few.
"In the cannabis industry, trusted collaborations are essential for navigating complex markets and driving sustainable growth," said Mack Hueber, president of Ayrloom. "We're thrilled to work with Nabis, whose reliability and expertise in distribution, particularly in downstate regions, enable us to scale efficiently while maintaining exceptional product value."

Google&#8217;s parent company is also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41611263/alphabet-q3-earnings-highlights-revenue-beat-eps-beat-google-cloud-up-35-momentum-across-the-compan">set to match its capex spending</a> in the fourth quarter, bringing its total 2024 capex to $51.4 billion, a 59% increase year-over-year. The company also anticipates a rise in apex in 2025, albeit at a slower rate.
Similarly, Microsoft reported a capex of $20 billion <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41636770/microsoft-q1-earnings-highlights-ai-driven-transformation-is-changing-work-company-beats-revenue-ep">for the first quarter</a>, nearly double the $11.2 billion from the same period last year. The company&#8217;s CFO Amy Hood expects a sequential increase in capital expenditure due to the projected demand&nbsp;for cloud and AI services.
Why It Matters: Analysts have predicted a &#8220;beat-n-raise&#8221; performance in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/42068962/nvidia-q3-earnings-preview-analysts-expect-beat-n-raise-on-continued-data-center-strength">Nvidia&#8217;s third-quarter earnings</a>, with an expected revenue of $33.12 billion, a significant increase from last year&#8217;s $18.12 billion.
