To The Moon

The next mile is autonomous

If there's one thing investors love more than AI, it's AI on wheels. Enter Serve Robotics, a pint-sized disruptor that's driving into the chaos of urban logistics with its autonomous delivery robots. While $Serve Robotics Inc.(SERV)$ isn’t exactly a household name—unless you live in a tech-forward neighbourhood lucky enough to see one of their charming bots trundling along the pavement—it’s quickly gaining attention from markets, institutions, and yes, even $NVIDIA(NVDA)$. But with a 354% stock rally over the past year and a rollercoaster 52-week range from $2.28 to $24.35, the real question is: can Serve Robotics deliver more than just tacos?

Serve’s bots aren’t cute. They’re quietly revolutionary

Early momentum, brutal margins

Let’s start with the numbers, because they’re a mixed bag of excitement and exasperation. Serve posted 150% revenue growth in Q1 2025. That's undeniably strong—but before we cue the champagne, it's worth noting that trailing twelve-month revenue sits at just $1.31 million. That gives Serve a scarcely believable price-to-sales ratio of 363x. Its enterprise value to revenue is similarly off the charts at 315x. These are valuation metrics that make even the most speculative AI startup blush.

Worse still, the bottom line is bleeding: net losses of $43.37 million over the last year, a negative EBITDA of $44.82 million, and a gross profit figure that's, well, negative. The company’s operating margin stands at a staggering -3,406%. Yes, you read that correctly. Profitability isn't just elusive; it's hiding in another galaxy.

Yet despite all that, Serve's cash position is surprisingly robust. With nearly $198 million in the bank and only $1.89 million in debt, Serve has runway. In fact, its current ratio is an absurdly high 38x, suggesting it’s not in any immediate danger of running out of cash. For a company in hypergrowth mode, that’s a rare luxury—and one that hints at institutional confidence behind the scenes.

The Uber-Nvidia edge

Speaking of institutional confidence, Serve has something most microcaps can only dream of: backing from Nvidia and $Uber(UBER)$. This isn’t just nice window dressing. Uber spun out Serve from its robotics division, and remains its largest commercial partner. That gives Serve direct access to an existing urban delivery network—a rarity for a startup still under $1 billion in market cap.

Then there’s Nvidia, which quietly led Serve’s recent $80 million direct offering. While Serve is not building semiconductors, its robots rely heavily on Nvidia’s edge-AI chips for real-time decision-making and computer vision. The partnership could evolve beyond financial backing into a hardware-software stack that reinforces Serve’s tech moat—assuming competitors don’t leapfrog it first.

Here’s a lesser-known angle: $Serve Robotics Inc.(SERV)$ may be sitting on a future goldmine of urban mobility data. Every robot, every delivery, every obstruction encountered on a footpath generates location-specific, real-time data. In a future where AI models rely increasingly on real-world data to train and adapt, this street-level intelligence could become a valuable asset—monetisable through licensing, navigation services, or AI simulation training. It’s still early days, but the possibility adds another layer to Serve’s potential beyond pure delivery economics.

Choppy ride, asymmetric upside

Now for the elephant in the room—volatility. Serve shares cratered nearly 19% in a single session recently, followed by more premarket weakness. It’s a pattern not unfamiliar to small-cap investors. Despite being up 362% over the past year, Serve’s daily swings are not for the faint of heart. The short interest tells its own story, with 14.94% of the float sold short, suggesting many are betting against this bubbly valuation holding up.

Here’s what Serve’s chart looks like when volatility meets velocity.

Bollinger squeeze or breakaway risk? SERV trades on a knife-edge

But therein lies the opportunity. Serve’s niche—robotic last-mile delivery—is still largely untapped. Regulatory acceptance is improving, battery tech is evolving, and city congestion is worsening. In a world where human couriers face rising wages and declining gig economy appeal, Serve’s autonomous model could be the leaner, scalable alternative. It's not inconceivable that a larger logistics or AI player could one day acquire Serve for its infrastructure, data, or urban reach.

Still, this is a high-risk bet. Serve has no profits, no margin visibility, and no certainty that unit economics will scale. But it does have something few microcaps do—a compelling story, strategic backers, and a front-row seat in one of the most promising intersections of AI, robotics, and logistics.

High risk. High altitude. Serve’s tightrope walk has begun

Watch the bots, but mind your allocation

I wouldn’t bet the house on $Serve Robotics Inc.(SERV)$, but I am watching it like a hawk. If the company can turn its early traction into a repeatable business model—and if institutions continue to back it—Serve could go from speculative flyer to category leader. It’s the kind of asymmetrical opportunity where a small position might either vanish or 5x in three years. In that sense, Serve isn’t just delivering burritos—it might just deliver alpha.
