In other recent news, Serve Robotics Inc. has announced a registered direct offering of 4,210,525 shares of common stock, expected to generate approximately $80 million before fees. The company plans to use the proceeds for general corporate purposes, including working capital. This financial maneuver aims to bolster Serve Robotics’ position in the competitive autonomous delivery sector. The offering has led to a cautious response from investors, with concerns about the dilution of equity and the increase in the number of shares outstanding. Additionally, Serve Robotics is expanding its operations to the Miami metro area, partnering with Shake Shack (NYSE:SHAK) and Mister O1 Extraordinary Pizza to deploy delivery robots through Uber (NYSE:UBER) Eats. This expansion follows the company’s growth in Los Angeles and plans for the Dallas-Fort Worth market. However, Serve Robotics faces scrutiny from short-seller Bonitas following its acquisition of Vebu Inc., with concerns about insider benefits and unmet revenue projections. Despite these challenges, the company has ambitious targets for deploying 2,000 robots by the end of 2025.
